Crate & Barrel

MUCH more my speed.
Worth my little drive up this way, and even on a busy holiday weekend, they were awesome. Actually better than the one in Walnut Creek even– customer service wise at least.
Clean, organized and found what I needed, even though I already checked online. Hard not to want to buy everything again– I definitely have enough C&B booty at home.
Ikea is great for cheap knick knacks and what not, though I’ll never go back to that one in Draper. I feel compensated that there are still some of my faves here in SLC that will make my time worthwhile.
Be Back Soon– pinky-​swear.

I’ve loved crate and barrel since I lived in Chicago. Just wish I could afford everything in their store or had room in my house. Quality products that are also unique. Good sales. Wedding registry.

Before I get to the point of my review, I just wanna say that I LOVE Crate and Barrel’s kitchen and especially, furniture offerings. Its style is my style and I often find stuff at the C & B store that I really want to buy. The price can be somewhat prohibitive but sometimes you just get sick of IKEA furniture, ya know?
I’m a loyal C & B customer but just want to caution you if you’re buying small pieces of furniture. In my case, I ordered two outdoor side tables (20″ x 10″ x 26″) that could easily fit in my car. I thought I’d save on shipping costs and pick the tables up at the C & B warehouse, about 5 – 6 miles from my house.
It’s been three weeks since I ordered the tables. I have to wait for them to be shipped from parts unknown, wait for a call from the warehouse that my stuff is there, then can only pick up between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. after receiving the pickup call. To complicate matters, the company doesn’t explain the process and so I had to call to find out what was going on.
From the time of my order to the time of pick up, 18 days will have elapsed. Just wanted to make C & B customers aware of that before they order online.

They got me the floor piece that I was requesting plus two other bookcases. Flawless delivery and a few days after the delivery they called to let me know they overcharged me for shipping and fixed the issue. I hadn’t even noticed the error so this was a great surprise and great service. A+

If you love contemporary household items and furniture, then this place would definitely be worth checking out. They are just located inside Fashion Place Mall on their newer West entrance by H&M.
They have a good collection of furniture on display and their quality seems to be high than the Swedish chain. I did think the rustic touch was a turn off for me, as it made the furniture more old folks like. My favorite section here was their kitchen accessories, since they have my favorite brand OXO here. I did picked up some wine glasses here one time when I was looking for dessert glasses, and they really had a large variety of glasses here. One downside here would the pricing, not only they were on the high side, but the same item can found online stores at 10−20% lower, given you can wait 2 days.
Crates & Barrel did end up making a great gift shopping place, especially if you are doing last minute shopping, since they wrap it up nicely in a sturdy box with a carrying handle too. Most of the time, it was just a browsing shop before purchasing the same item online.

Crate and Barrel is such an awesome store. I wish I could register my christmas wish list there LOL. The store is clean, and I love window shopping there. The staff is nice and the products are great. They are a little pricey, but not too bad!

Crate & Barrel is one of the best (in my opinion) home furnishing stores out there. Their merchandise is top-​quality and the employees are always helpful.
I stopped in yesterday in search of some small gift items, and several employees had great suggestions and they were all helpful. They do a great job packaging your purchases and will ship them for you, too! If you purchase online, the return process at the store is very simple.
They also have a clearance section that often has great bargains, and you can also shop the outlet online (or in California, Texas …). I visit often, especially at Christmas, for gift cards, ornaments, table linens, and kitchen gadgets.
The Fashion Place staff is extraordinarily great! Stop in and see what treasures you can find.

We were very satisfied with our experience here. We found some barstools that I was just in love with, and Crate and Barrel only had one in store. An employee helped us order the other two we needed and sent us home with the one in the store. When we got home, we discovered that there was damage to the stool. the side was splintered and paint scraped off. We brought it back and they were very apologetic. They then ordered another barstool for us, and rushed the delivery free of charge. Then we were followed up with to ensure they arrived and that we were satisfied. The employees I dealt with in the store were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with.

This is by far one of the best furniture/​home décor stores around. It’s always great fun to just browse around and they have some really elegant and good quality items.
From furniture, through small appliances, through table ware and kitchen gadgets they have it all. It’s hard to escape here without just wanting to go wild and buy up half the store.
In this modern throw away consumer world where goods are bought cheap, break, get thrown away and then replaced in a vicious cycle of planned obsolescence (I wasn’t advocating actually throwing that type of consumer away… well not consciously) — it’s pleasant to still find places like this.
All joking aside, while I myself also sometimes have a certain thrifty side to me, I also do like nice things for our house — and so I enjoy the fact that chains like this still exist, makes such a change from, well those other ones I could mention.
And yep, it is pretty pricey, but they have some good and unique stuff, and things that actually last. In the long run honestly, if you’re savvy about your purchasing, especially with furniture, it can actually end up paying dividends while also adding that extra level of ambiance and warmth to your home.

Want some inspiration for your house? Your kitchen? Your cooking? Here’s a whole store full of stuff that you may not need but that you really want.
I have to remember that little fact every time I shop at places like this. Use it for inspiration. Go guerrilla on the thing and strike with precision, because if not you might end up buying one of everything.
Of particular interest is the kitchen accessories section. Every knickknack you can imagine lines that area. Some are more useful than others. Bowls, utensils, measuring cups; you’ll use these, probably. Other stuff is really case specific. But if you’ve got room in your cabinets to store that crème brûlée torch, you go right ahead.
I was kinda surprised that a lot of their furniture and bedroom stuff had a more rustic look to it. I mean, I know they have the word «barrel» in their name but I always remember it being more chic (from trips to Chicago). I suppose that also depends on the time of the year and what’s hot right now, but there were a lot of pieces with rough-​hewn timber. Sort of modern but a little hint of cabin or country. There are, however, still sleek pieces to be found.
I don’t think I’m fawning over everything. That’s probably good because I can’t afford hardly anything. But it’s worth taking a tour every so often to see what tickles your decorating taste buds, and very fun to see what little kitchen gadget you might add to your collection.

pricey but nice

When I need retail therapy I go to two places: Crate & Barrel or IKEA. Crate & Barrel is my go-​to place for kitchen gadgets. I love the quality of the product; these kitchen tools last. My bowls, plates, and glasses are all from here. Most recently I bought measuring cups and spoons. They are not the price of Wal-​mart gadgets, but the quality is much better! You will pay for the quality.
The colors changed based on seasons. I needed something red in the summer, forget about it! It was all bright greens and purples this summer. Red is a winter color. That did not bother me as much as I thought it would because I still walked away with some super cute throw pillows and handy gadgets.
They carry full place settings, glasses, silverware, table setting accessories, containers, some small appliances, furniture, grilling accessories, etc. I find their stuff always trendy and very useful. I loves me some Crate & Barrel!

In Vegas we have every store imaginable but not this one. Why???
It is stylish, well stocked with elegant furniture for all rooms indoor AND outdoor plus a ton of smaller items for your kitchen and pretty well every other part of your home.
Colorful, reasonable quality and many options.
I love it, now please open in Vegas, I believe you will find an empty store or two.
