Carry Small Items. For smaller purchases, consider taking them home yourself rather than relying on delivery; one review recommends this approach.
Confirm Delivery. Reconfirm the date and item availability shortly before delivery, and keep chasing if no update arrives; one customer followed up five times.
Keep Documents. For a refund, bring the original receipt and the card used for payment, and keep written records of every request.
Check Exclusions. If you are using a discount programme, ask the cashier to confirm product exclusions before travelling to the branch.
Inspect Packaging. Check boxes and furniture condition on arrival, especially when accepting delivery, since one customer reported an opened box and scratched chair.

“So if you're thinking of spending AED 2,500 on a cabinet that lasts less than a month and want to deal with poor communication and a lack of accountability, this is the place for you”Google review · June 2025
The Bottom Line
Crate & Barrel at Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha is worth considering for browsing furniture, kitchenware and home décor in person. Reviews mention baking supplies, distinctive crockery, wine glasses, scented candles and furniture for furnishing a new home. Engraved wine glasses are a practical gift option, and the in-store café gives shoppers somewhere quiet to sit while others browse.
The strongest experiences are tied to attentive sales help. Customers describe patient advice when choosing a couch or rug, assistance with furniture and kitchenware, and staff checking other Dubai branches for scarce stock such as a Christmas tree. A sale also helped one visitor find décor and furniture for a new home.
The major caution is fulfilment. Reviews repeatedly describe missed or delayed furniture deliveries, missing items, unclear shipment updates and calls that were not returned. Online orders for small items have also taken more than five days, while one refund took around 20 days to reach the receipt stage.
Damaged or faulty products, including chairs, a cabinet, a kettle and a mattress, generated further complaints about repairs, replacements or warranty follow-up. For anything time-sensitive or too large to carry, confirm stock, delivery arrangements and return terms in writing before paying.
