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!

Backlit Mirror
Adding a mirror to your living room is not only practical but also beneficial in making the space feel larger. This backlit mirror is a decorative piece with ambient LED lighting. An included remote lets you change the colors, so you can have your mirror reflect your mood. It’s a different approach to traditional living room lighting ideas, and at 60% off, it’s more than worth it.

Outdoor Sectional
With deep seats and plush cushions, this outdoor sectional is a pleasure to lounge on. The coastal design incorporates weather-resistant olefin cushions paired with durable handwoven wicker. The L-shape sectional sofa is inviting and a perfect addition to your existing outdoor furniture. Snatch it at a $600 savings in the West Elm Outlet and add a cozy spot to read your favorite e-books.

If you’re looking for a piece to make that hall bath shine, look no further than this single-bathroom vanity from the West Elm Outlet. Crafted with a fluted texture and oak veneer, this vanity features one faux drawer and two large drawers for ample storage of toiletries. The legs include built-in levelers for stability, and the white marble top adds a stylish finish. The faucet is sold separately but the vanity comes with pre-drilled cabinet holes. Get it for $564 off before it sells out.

Kiln-Dried Sofa
Sofas are a big expense so they should be made of quality material. This Vail sofa features a kiln-dried solid pine and engineered wood frame with metal legs in your choice of finish. The modern look is dressed in a variety of performance fabrics from washed canvas and velvet to twill dove and basket slub. Choose boxed arms for a sturdier look or angled arms for something more sleek. Save 50-60% off, depending on the style. Now you just have to find the perfect coordinating coffee table!

The only caveat is that the family will fight over their turn lounging in it.
