About West Elm
West Elm sells modern furniture at lower prices than Pottery Barn and was created by the group in 2002 rather than acquired. It has built much of its range around fair trade certification and locally made products. It was among the first large American furniture retailers to publish where its products were made and to commit to fair trade certified factories at scale.
