If you’re planning to shop CB2’s Black Friday Sale this year, here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect based on how things have played out in recent years, along with what we already know about the 2025 event.
Expected Black Friday 2025 Start & End Dates
CB2 is likely to kick off its 2025 Black Friday Sale on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 (that’s 2 days before Thanksgiving). The sale is expected to run through Saturday, November 29, 2025, or while supplies last. These dates can vary slightly depending on inventory and demand, but in general, the sale doesn’t go beyond the long weekend.
Where You Can Shop
You’ll be able to shop the event either in person at any CB2 store in the U.S. or at cb2.com. Most of the same discounts will apply across both channels, although availability can differ depending on location and stock levels.
Expected Discount Levels
The main headline for CB2’s Black Friday 2025 sale will likely be “up to 60% off” select sale items. This wording usually means not everything will be discounted at that maximum rate. In the past, most discounts have hovered in the 20% to 40% range, with the full 60% reserved for very limited inventory or seasonal items they’re trying to clear out.
Last year, for example, lighting and select decor items were among the categories where the steeper discounts could be found. Meanwhile, furniture often saw smaller price drops, especially on in-demand pieces. CB2 typically avoids offering sitewide discounts, and instead targets specific collections or product types.
Free Shipping Offer
One thing to keep in mind if you’re shopping online: CB2 usually offers free standard shipping during Black Friday on qualifying orders over $99. That said, this offer excludes furniture, rugs, and oversized items. So if you’re buying a few decorative accessories or kitchen items, you’ll probably hit that free shipping threshold pretty easily. But if you’re shopping for larger pieces like sofas or dining tables, expect to pay additional shipping fees.
Categories to Watch
Here’s a general idea of what tends to get marked down the most:
- Decor: Items like vases, candle holders, trays, and wall art often receive the biggest discounts. These are usually where you’ll find the full 50-60% off range.
- Lighting: Table lamps, pendants, and sconces are commonly included in the higher discount tier.
- Textiles: Throw blankets, pillow covers, and bedding sometimes see 30-50% off during Black Friday.
- Kitchen & Dining: Dinnerware, glassware, serving sets, and small entertaining accessories tend to be solid buys during this sale.
- Holiday Decor: If CB2 carries any seasonal items (and they usually do), these can be marked down sharply since the holidays are right around the corner.
What Usually Has Lower Discounts
- Furniture: While some pieces may be discounted, it’s usually not by much. Expect anywhere from 10-20% off for most items. Clearance furniture might get deeper cuts, but availability is limited and sells out fast.
- New Arrivals: Don’t count on newly released collections being part of the sale. These are typically excluded or see only minor discounts.
- Collaboration Items: CB2 sometimes partners with designers or artists for exclusive collections. These lines often have fewer markdowns or none at all.
Possible Exclusions and Fine Print
As with most large sales, there are going to be some exclusions. Based on previous years, here’s what’s likely to be excluded or limited during the 2025 event:
- Furniture, rugs, and large items are excluded from free shipping.
- Final sale items may not be returnable.
- Some promotions are only valid online.
- Discounts generally apply only to in-stock items.
- Prices reflect discount; no promo code is usually required.
- Cannot be combined with other offers or past purchases.
Returns and Customer Service
CB2’s standard return policy usually applies unless the item is marked as final sale. In most cases, returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt, but original shipping charges are non-refundable, and return shipping fees may apply unless the return is due to a product issue. For furniture or oversized items, returns can be more complicated, so check the details for each product.
