Expert Reviews of Cb2

Citysearch | Crate & Barrel's North Center sibling is hipper and younger, with basics at affordable prices.

The building's contemporary design matches its funky products, which are geared toward an ultrahip urban crowd with good taste. If you're looking for trendy fundamentals, you'll find plenty: spatulas, trash...

User Reviews of Cb2

Yelp.com Review - by Kathryn T.

4 of 5 stars. Today I died and went to home furnishing heaven. I love Crate and Barrel, but I find a lot of the items a little plain and too expensive...this is where CB 2 comes in. It's sort of the Ann Taylor Loft…

Yelp.com Review - by danielle C.

4 of 5 stars. I care about our economy. I seriously do. In an effort to help out businesses, I am not curbing my shopping habits one bit, no one single iota. My mother, who was visiting this week, seems to be…

Yelp.com Review - by Aaron L.

3 of 5 stars. Talk about a place where seeing is believing... for better or for worse. Not being a Chicago resident, I made my poor mother drive me to the nearest CB2 so I could see what I'd been drooling over in…

Yelp.com Review - by Rob L.

4 of 5 stars. I've driven by this place countless times, always thinking to myself I need to go check them out. I had to buy some glasses for my sister as part of her Christmas gift so I stopped in to check it out.…

Yelp.com Review - by Tom B.

3 of 5 stars. I can't stand Crate and Barrel because I find their products so mind numbingly boring that I instantly drool and fall to sleep. How will CB2 compare to CB1? (reminds me of CB4 with Chris Rock..lol)…

Yelp.com Review - by Y G.

4 of 5 stars. I don't know about you, but CB2 is more my style than Crate & Barrel. It is still a tad bit expensive, but you can find some great stuff when they are go sale. I'm writing this not just for their…

Yelp.com Review - by Chiara F.

4 of 5 stars. Although the quality of most of their stuff isn't good, they have great taste. I love to look through their windows at the modern/chic displays. And oh lord, they love green. That means it's my…

Yelp.com Review - by Alexandra B.

4 of 5 stars. My total guilty pleasure store. The furniture is expensive (if I had an extra $2000 lying around, I assure you I would not spend it on a contemporary couch that only comes in one color) but the…

Yelp.com Review - by Allen R.

3 of 5 stars. High, high, high, high contemporary furniture here. Almost EVERY piece of wooden furniture in the place is finished in a light-sucking black. There are moderately good prices on some smaller…

Yelp.com Review - by Therron R.

3 of 5 stars. Really contemporary, and really expensive! You get two types of hard furniture black or see through. If your looking for upholstery then don't expect to be able to sit on anything. Some of the…

Yelp.com Review - by Jenny A.

4 of 5 stars. Bright! Orange! Martini glasses! My roommate and I have stocked up on adorable glassware from CB2. Somehow, we managed to go in looking for a set of wine glasses and walk out with two giant bags full…

Yelp.com Review - by Stacey A.

4 of 5 stars. This is Crate & Barrel's second foray into cute cute home things that I cannot afford because I am poor. But holy hell, I certainly do love to look. The other CB2 in Lincoln Park is probably bigger,…

Yelp.com Review - by meg g.

3 of 5 stars. I've never been a fan of CB2, their furniture is a rip off and most of the styles are safe- nothing too bold or exciting. Despite that, I stopped in on Saturday and for $23 I stocked my new bar with…

Yelp.com Review - by Lacie G.

5 of 5 stars. Modern style with decent prices. I love their furniture design and color. They have small bins of interesting products, like magnets, pet products and camera cases that are unique and fun.

Still over-priced

I liked the selection and the items were overall very interesting. But, I thought CB2 was a "Scaled-down" version of Crate & Barrel. If that's the case, they should "scale-down" the prices too. Metal shelves...
