Well, AT LAST  a home decor place that greats pretty solidly very good ratings (with of course a dissenter or two)

    Having just moved to the city, I have been scouring about looking for places to fulfill my funky decor needs. After many unsuccessful trips to other stores, I stumbled upon this place and immediately fell in love.

    Their decor is modern, fresh, and all things a 20 something year old with contemporary style would love. They have a wide variety of items ranging from furniture, to home decor, to kitchen utensils. Pretty much anything one would need when shopping for a home/apartment. Bonus - it isn't expensive! Granted, it isn't cheap either, but you're getting high quality bang for your buck.

    Highly highly recommended!!!!

    Any place that sells Disco Gnomes is the place for me.

    CB2 is like a High End Ikea or a Hipster Crate & Barrel. Though, I must admit, the couches are not for my demographic. They are low, low, low. I'm too fat and my right knee is too bad for me to heave myself off of them on a daily basis. The beds are low as well. This is no Ethan Allen sleigh bed that you have to buy steps to get out of. But the that's to be expected with Modern styled furnishings.

    And everything IS Mod! Lacquered, glossy red credenzas. Brushed stainless steel vases. And Disco Gnomes!

    The only thing I was left wanting for was a larger selection of items. But quality beats quantity any day. I can't complain.
    • Disco Gnome!
    • I love these dust collectors!

    Seriously, can I just buy the entire store. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about CB2. If you want to decorate your home and living space with quality products retailed at moderate prices, then CB2 is the best place to shop. Their colorful, contemporary and modern style home and office accessories are refreshing, new designs and can really add some punch of hipness to any drab and ordinary living/work space.

    If you love Crate & Barrel, then you may love CB2 even more. They sell a wide array of furniture and accessories for every room of your house. The pricing varies and some products can range from cheap to expensive, but the quality is great. You can't compare to the likes of other stores such as IKEA. I've had a share of IKEA pieces, and their furniture is a temporary solution for the home/office. You may be paying more at CB2, but you're certainly getting bang for your buck. Another plus, CB2 furniture comes already assembled. I highly appreciate the variety of fun colors and patterns that CB2 accessories offers as it adds a lot of character to any space. CB2 makes home/office decorating super easy even for those who are clueless when it comes to interior design and decoration.

    All in all, this is a fun store to shop if searching for some new furniture and accessories for the home or office. I never get bored in this store, unlike a lot of other places where the style is often generic, boring, and very predictable. For now, CB2 has a smaller selection and inventory of items and styles when compared to the original Crate & Barrel. I can only hope they'd expand the selection over time. If you live far from the store or outside Manhattan, you can always ask for the items to be shipped to your home.

    I like the furniture and furnishings offered by CB2. The prices seem to be mid-range and there are nice pieces on display. It doesn't seem as generic as pottery barn and I can imagine mixing and matching items to create an updated contemporary look.

    I will be back to browse some more.

    The young, hip cousin to Crate & Barrel, I was surprised when I first visited CB2 by just how much I liked their home goods. I actually didn't know until later that they are owned by Crate & Barrel until I started raving to my mom about the various items I wish I could've purchased and she told me.

    Overall, they have a contemporary/modern aesthetic that is versatile. Their furniture is nice, but I really gravitate towards the smaller items, like serveware and decorative items. While quality and price usually go hand in hand, CB2 seems pretty great - things don't look OR feel cheap. The designs themselves are definitely top notch for the more affordable brand of the two, but that doesn't mean that everything is cheap. You just might be surprised it won't cost you more. I wish that I had a CB2 in Center City Philadelphia so that I could've stocked our entire apartment with their stuff!

    Another store that makes me sad I don't own a house or rent an apartment that's bigger than my office cube.

    Quality modern furniture. Not cheap but not unaffordable either.  They have some unique pieces. Great rates on delivery too.  Customer service is very friendly and has assisted me with phone orders, store pick-ups and delivery.

    Lots of helpful employees on hand to assist you. Great quality products that won't absolutely destroy your bank account. The furniture is definitely the higher priced items but the smaller, home items are worth checking out.

    I LOVE CB2! Affordable and contemporary furniture/deco items galore. Although I spend too much time on their website, I prefer to go into this store to take a look/purchase after I actually feel the size/heft of items. I prob won't get a couch here, but they have some clear stools I'm in love with and beautiful decorative items like candle sticks/lamps/bar items. Our coffee table is the round marble one from here and everyone loves it. Staff here are always helpful.

    I recently purchased a high top dining table, chairs, coffee table and nesting tables and they arrived in perfect condition. Delivery guys completed the assembly for me. I would highly recommend this company! Furniture is great so far!

    Love this place, and I love that they now have a midtown location. They have all of your dinner party needs for very low prices, and the quality is outstanding.  You can easily lose your shirt in that place if you love to cook and to entertain.  Can't say that they staff was too helpful, I don't think anyone asked if I needed anything, and I had to hunt someone down to ask where the baskets were. But then again, they just opened. Other than that, I will definitely be back.

    CB2's come to the East Side. If you like crisp, modern, inexpensive  furnishings, this is where you will find them. Good stocking stuffer ideas for the holidays.

    I love the look for CB2 stuff and their prices are typically fair. Some of the furniture may be a little overpriced and the quality isn't better than Ikea but it is fun and hip (most of it). This store had lots of space to display and make suggestions.
