Yelp.com Review - by Tom S.

4.0 of 5 stars. An unnatural obsession I have a confession to make. I'm a shop-a-holic [I'm lots of different kinds of a-holics this just happens to be one ... just file me under OCD]. I get particularly crazy the…

Yelp.com Review - by Amanda H.

3.0 of 5 stars. Oooh girl, CB2 has some tacky crap. Those plates they had forever with the mums on them? Ick. I bought my dining room table & chairs here...sort of a replica of the Saarinen tulip table, since I can't…

Yelp.com Review - by Brad C.

3.0 of 5 stars. So this is the trendy colorful crate and barrel... I have never found anything I needed or even wanted at CB2. The staff is less helpful and not that friendly, I guess that makes it more hip and…

4.0 of 5 stars. Half my apartment is from CB2. Their furniture is not fantastic but their accessories and tableware are great. I have lots of glasses and dishes from here and they are very high quality. They also…

3.0 of 5 stars. 3.5 I do like this store. I'm not too trendy but I do like to keep up w/ trends. I like to find interesting products here with their splash of vibrant colors. You can't help be addicted to a "lil'…

Yelp.com Review - by Samantha S.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm pretty sure I've never bought anything here because it's really not my taste (I dig the whole urban loft look, but I have a more traditional approach to it). They do, however, have a lot of really…

Yelp.com Review - by Amy J.

5.0 of 5 stars. LOVE CB2. It's the less expensive, more trendy, youthful side of Crate and Barrel. Their things are still modern, but with an edge to them. This is my favorite place to get housewares. My duvet cover…

4.0 of 5 stars. Love their Marta tumblers! Unfortunately I ended up breaking 5 out of the 6 I purchased, so I am really looking forward to them opening up a locale in San Francisco! I think from memory that the…

4.0 of 5 stars. CB2 is my go-to when I get obsessed with filling my apartment with contemporary little knick-knacks. I'm actually due there soon--I've got to find some kind of decorative piece to put on this buffet…

Yelp.com Review - by Purnima M.

5.0 of 5 stars. CB2 is the young, hip, quirky offshoot of Crate and Barrel, one I never knew existed until arriving in Chi-town. I've always been a CB fan, but now I can actually do more than window shop for…

4.0 of 5 stars. I used to like CB2 and then I got a staple free stapler from them. Amazing. Who knew you could attach papers without staples nowadays? Now I love them. CB2 is lovely. They have great design-y like…

5.0 of 5 stars. Once upon a time when I lived in Ohio I had a futuristic coffee table with chrome Saarinen style tulip base shipped to the middle of nowhere from some crazy offshoot of Crate and Barrel. It served me…

4.0 of 5 stars. I pretty much like everything in here. The store is a little disorganized, but if you wander around long enough, you'll find what you were looking for. I consider CB2 to be an upscale IKEA. The…

4.0 of 5 stars. I bought a couch and two chairs at CB2. The couch is microfiber. The two chairs were a gorgeous blue and green striped linen. Knowing linen is impossible to wash, I paid extra (~$75) for…

Yelp.com Review - by Alexis K.

4.0 of 5 stars. I like looking here. It's pretty, but spare, Ikea-esque furniture is kind of my thing. The best part of this store is you can find random stuff for cheap prices that you needed but wouldn't have…

5.0 of 5 stars. Dear CB2, It's not you, it's me. We've had this little love affair going on for a while now, but it's just become too much. You see, I'm going broke from spending too much time with you. Yes, you…

3.0 of 5 stars. Reasonable, simple and chic. I bought an ottoman and some odds and ends here. You wouldn't want to furnish your entire place with this stuff, it's no crate and barrel. good for gifts and accents

3.0 of 5 stars. Eh, it's ok. Most of the designs are from CB's very casual lower end... a little too funky/colorful for me. But, if you're into that style, this place is great. I don't think the prices are much…

3.0 of 5 stars. CB2 is Crate and Barrel's attempt at delivering more modern home decor and furniture, and it works for the most part. I see a bit of an identity crisis, however. It's really not that different from…
