Crate and Barrel
Aruna K.

Our favorite from a long time, this store has the most contemporary, purposeful products for home. The first floor has kitchen related stuff and the furniture is on second floor. Friendly staff is always ready to help you with any questions you may have. They do options for customization and delivery. A must visit even if it just to get a good idea about what is in and what is not. Love this store

Home furniture at Crate & Barrel.

Beautiful location with lots of options to make your home stunning. A little pricey and the staff doesn't interact with you while you browse the store. Some might find that appealing while others will be turned off. My fiancé loved the upstairs furniture department and couldn't believe just how customizable the couches are, plus they offer free design concepts to help get everything just the way you want it.

Don't shoot me for loving this place. I have a thing for home decor stores, especially chains, only because I don't have the time or patience to rummage through antique shops and such for one of a kind pieces. Someone, please teach me. I like C&B for many reasons: they almost always have a sale going on; it's never crowded; sales people don't haggle you--at all; all of their furniture/decor is beautifully laid out so you can snag some great ideas; their emailing list offers certain specials; there are only a few locations in the city, so your bff probably won't have the same dish set you just bought ... in exception to the desk I bought today--my friend Nik has the exact same one. Sorry, fella. I liked it too much. A lot of items can be overpriced, but, like jewelry, shoes and dresses, I furniture should last a lifetime (ahem, Ikea).

For such a large city, I'm surprised that I have to drive almost an hour to get my Crate & Barrel fix. We came in to browse and look at some Vita-Mix blenders but Williams Sonoma offers a discount so we bought our blender there instead. Employees here weren't overly friendly. Lots to see with two floors of home furnishings and decor, plenty of housewares and brides putting together a wish list. I love all the kitchen gadgets and large selection of housewares. Over the years I've bought plenty of dishes and outdoor decor all great quality so prices can be steep but you get what you pay for. Don't miss.

Thread of forwarded emails, no description, no introduction, just a chain of forwarded emails.

Crate and Barrel was not initially on my radar during my furniture shopping for our new place, but after my friend and colleague wouldn't stop raving about his wonderful experience, I was influenced to work with them. I explained to my friend that I was struggling with finding a unifying design for our home and didn't want to shop "piece by piece", but was hoping for some sort of assistance with bringing my design vision to life. He told me about design services C&B provided and quickly pulled out his phone to show me the 3D renderings they had done for him. It was truly a sight to behold! There was so much detail, color, texture, etc. The photos were absolutely stunning. I was immediately intrigued and felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders because this had been exactly what I was looking for. I asked, how much did you pay?! Because my husband and I were preparing to host friends and families from out of town, quite frankly I was ready to pay a pretty penny! But to my surprise, my friend said it was free of charge. I booked an appointment and sighed a breath of relief, but this is where things took a turn for the worst. I actually mulled over whether or not to share this review. But I do believe that sharing my experience is important because I know how heavily I rely on honest reviews. So, I'm here to share my honest review in the hopes that someone doesn't waste their time like I unfortunately did. On the morning of my in home appointment with the design consultant, I received a phone call asking to confirm that I was still available, and I said yes! Surprisingly, when the time came for my appointment, no one showed up. No warning, no phone call. Nothing. I figured someone was maybe running late so I waited 15 min, then 30, then 45. I called the store to ask if something had happened to the consultant because no one had showed up. I was given a cold and sterile response, "oh we are sorry ma'am, we are going to have to reschedule." I probed a few times to ask why no one warned me that it was cancelled and the response was a "sorry." The conversation was incredibly curt and felt as though I was pulling teeth despite being on the receiving end of this blatant disregard and disrespect. Fast forward, I decided, let me give the benefit of the doubt and re schedule and try again! The next appt, someone did come. The gentleman Brian, was sociable and answered my questions as he walked around my space. He told me that he would have the rendering finished no later than 3-5 business days. I told him that would be fine. I vividly remember saying, take your time! I prefer you putting together something well than doing some haphazardly. Welp. I jinxed it. After TWO weeks (yes, you read that right), I received a chain of 4-5 forwarded email messages. It was the most bizarre thing. At first glance, I thought is this some sort of phishing scam email?! But realized this was an email from a C&B employee. The images and rendering (if you can even call it that) he shared with me looked NOTHING like something a professional consultant would put together. To say I was shocked and flabbergasted would be an understatement. When I compared the rendering that was done for my friend to the one done for me--it was like night and day. The software they used for him appeared to be a proprietary one belonging to C&B (the design desk at C&B) and the one they used for me was "floor planner" which I learned is floorplanner.com that anyone can use...and it looked just like that. It pains me to say this, but I think a college student could've done a better job. As sad as that is... I'll share the comparison of the two and I'll allow the reader to decide if the two are even comparable. Deciding to patronize a business is not a decision I take lightly. I ask my friends and family for recommendations, so in this situation, unfortunately this recommendation from my friend fell flat. My friend was mortified and shocked because he too agreed that this is not the type of treatment he received and after looking at the renderings, he knew that this was not professional in any regard. It was interesting to see him more embarrassed by the stain my experience left on his referral reputation. The experience did not meet my expectations of the standard that C&B should be operating at. Scrolling through these reviews from customers, Glassdoor reviews from their employees, it appears that C&B has consistently demonstrated poor treatment of non-white customers and employees. If you're any self respecting immigrant (like myself), or even a person that may not appear "wealthy" in the eyes of Eurocentric standards, I don't recommend shopping here. You'll be treated like a second class customer. Take your wallet and dignity elsewhere.

Back in early February, my partner and I were in College Station to visit family. We made our way…read moreover to historic downtown Bryan and checked out Cocoa's Pantry. Cocoa's advertises itself as a kitchen supply store, and they definitely carry plenty of upscale brands (Zwilling, Breville, Le Creuset). We, however, were there for the Chocolate Gallery. The kitchen is surrounded by glass, so you can see all of the chocolate delicacies being made. We stopped in a few days before Valentine's day, so chef was making chocolate covered strawberries. While peering in, we noted the Culinary Institute of America chef's jacket on the wall behind us. This elevated our expectation! We made our way to the Chocolate Gallery, where a lovely attendant explained offerings that included a variety of cakes and artisan chocolates. Though they looked delicious, we passed on the cakes and strawberries, and selected 3 artisan chocolates each. These are the type of chocolates that you savor, letting them melt in your mouth. The mouth feel of these gems was smooth with no waxiness or grainy feeling, and the varied fillings enhanced the complexity. This isn't a penny candy store, but you're getting fine chocolates. Unfortunately, we were so busy savoring the chocolate, that we didn't take any photos! I hope Bryan supports this store during COVID-19 so that we can visit again when we come back.

A great addition to Downtown Bryan. A great selection of cookware and cutlery.read more

Well, where do I even begin? Today I stopped by Kuhl after leaving Target, and what should have…read morebeen a simple, pleasant visit turned into an egregiously disconcerting experience. Upon entering, I noticed a short Caucasian man near the Alabama Street entrance. At first, he looked like a regular shopper, but I quickly recognized him as the owner from previous store publications. What unsettled me immediately was seeing him peering into my Target bag, as if trying to assess what I had purchased. Perhaps he didn't realize I was watching him while he was watching me. As I walked through the store, the sense of being surveilled intensified. Every time I turned around, the owner was directly behind me. I also observed him on the phone, and shortly after, a man in a yellow shirt and khaki pants began following me as well. When I moved, he moved. When I paused, he pretended to rearrange items on the shelf. The behavior was blatantly obvious and deeply uncomfortable. To ensure I wasn't imagining things, I intentionally changed directions yet both men continued mirroring my movements. When I finally confronted one of them and asked, "Sir, are you following me?" he nervously replied, "No, no, no," even though the truth was painfully clear. This message is directed to the owner: Racial profiling your customers is unacceptable, demeaning, and profoundly unprofessional. I have patronized this store many times, and to be treated this way is not only insulting it is disappointing beyond words. PS: People of color spend money too.

I'm too poor for this store. It's for people who buy belts with mallards embroidered on it (the…read morelady in front of me bought that). Some cute things here and there that are out of my budget. The store is a complete maze and they even have a map when you walk in. Wish the layout was better. I did find a funny book. Check out the pic!
