As an interior decorator, I know West Elm is a great place to shop for high-quality furniture and unique pieces. However, investing in good home decor and furniture can be expensive. According to a 2023 Opendoor survey of 1,022 US homeowners, Americans spend nearly $1,600 a year on decor. So, it's important to consider factors like quality and durability when investing in pieces for your space.
At first glance, this small faceted-brass drink table would be beautiful and convenient in a sitting room. However, when I placed it on the floor at the store, I thought the side table was too narrow and lightweight - it even wobbled from side to side. I'd prefer something sturdier to hold my wine glass, so I'd opt for the retailer's Hudson drink table or a full-sized piece of furniture instead.
I wouldn't purchase a high-traffic item like a table unless it was made to last. The Ainsley coffee table is made with engineered wood, which combines wooden fibers and scraps instead of having a durable solid cut or board. It also has a veneer, which is a decorative thin sheet that may not withstand the rigors of daily use, making it unworthy of investment.
