If you’ve been eyeing something for your home or want to prep early for the holidays, Crate & Barrel’s Black Friday sale is definitely worth keeping on your radar. Here’s everything you need to know based on what’s happened in past years, what’s been announced so far, and what’s likely for 2025.
When the Sale Starts and Ends
Crate & Barrel usually sticks to a pretty consistent Black Friday schedule, and 2025 seems to be no different. You can expect the sale to begin on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, both in stores and online. That’s the day before Thanksgiving.
All stores across the U.S. will close for the full day on Thanksgiving itself (Thursday, November 27). So if you’re planning to shop in person, don’t bother heading out then—doors will be locked.
The sale typically continues through Black Friday weekend and wraps up on Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. That gives you about five full days to shop, whether you’re browsing in person or clicking through online deals from your couch.
Where You Can Shop
The Black Friday sale will be available both online and in-store, which is pretty standard for Crate & Barrel. If you want to avoid crowds, online shopping is the way to go, especially since most of the same deals will be available on the website. Plus, online shoppers who spend $49 or more get free shipping on thousands of items, which adds up fast if you’re buying more than just a few things.
Keep in mind, though, that not everything qualifies for free shipping. You’ll want to look out for items marked with a “Free Shipping Eligible” tag. That’s the clearest way to know if you’ll be skipping shipping fees.
What Kind of Discounts to Expect
First thing to know: this is not a store-wide, everything-must-go type of sale. Crate & Barrel usually keeps it pretty focused. You’ll likely see up to 50% off on select sale and clearance items. That could include furniture, kitchenware, bedding, and even lighting—just depends on what’s getting rotated out or heavily stocked.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s usually included:
-
Up to 50% off on select furniture and home decor
-
20% off holiday decorations, including ornaments, garlands, tree skirts, and more
-
Deals on kitchen essentials like cookware, glassware, and cutlery
-
Some sales on bedding and bath items
-
A decent chunk of clearance merchandise also gets discounted further
And yes, Cyber Monday tends to just carry on the same sale—not a totally separate set of deals like some stores offer. Sometimes there are a few online exclusives on Monday, but for Crate & Barrel, it’s more about extending the same offers and nudging people who waited until the last minute.
