West Elm Has A Secret Outlet With Jaw Dropping Deals Ft Via Amazon.comVIA MERCHANT

West Elm is notable for its gorgeous modern furniture. Sleek designs that fit any space—even small apartments—make the retailer our go-to when it’s time to replace old couches, end tables and rugs. While West Elm sales aren’t rare, we were shocked to discover even bigger savings on our favorite pieces on the West Elm Outlet.

What is the West Elm Outlet?

The West Elm Outlet features hundreds of the brand’s bestselling items at serious discounts. We’re talking savings of over 50%—with some deals topping out at as much as 70% off. The catch? Items from the West Elm Outlet are a mix of super sales—typically last-season items—and “Open Box” deals.

While the “Open Box” deals sound scary, they’re a genius way for West Elm to resell returned items. Items that are “Open Box” were previously purchased and returned due to minor blemishes and dings. Think the All-Clad Factory Seconds sale or Wayfair’s own “Open Box” section. Don’t let that scare you off, though—most of the “Open Box” items only have minor damage that’s difficult to see with the naked eye. A few scratches here and there are well worth a 70% markdown!

If you’ve never heard of the West Elm Outlet, you’re probably bursting to head over and check it out for yourself. I compiled a few of my favorite finds from the section, including hot items that boast the biggest savings. You’ll find something you love at prices you won’t find anywhere else.

Upholstered Wood Bed

This behemoth California king-sized bed has a swooping headboard that adds a little interest—it’s also on deep discount at 50% off at the West Elm Outlet. Kiln-dried wooden slats add durability, and the built-in levelers on the legs accommodate uneven floors. We love the look of the contrasting solid ash wood (in almond or cool walnut) legs against the upholstered headboard too. All that’s missing is some luxury bedding!

FAQ

Does West Elm have an outlet?

Yes, and the West Elm Outlet is the place to find serious savings—some of which are even better than Walmart’s sale prices. I’m talking up to 80% off retail—not bad! Find the Outlet in West Elm’s navigational menu under the “sale” section. It’s the very last choice on the menu, so we don’t blame you if you’ve never noticed it before.

When does West Elm have sales?

West Elm has plenty of sales to shop year-round. That said, shopping holidays like Memorial Day, President’s Day and Black Friday boast some of the retailer’s biggest savings all year.

Are open box items from West Elm damaged?

Open box items from the West Elm Outlet are not damaged but might have slight dings and light scratches. Since they were previously purchased and then returned, these items are sold at a deep discount.
