Crate & Barrel Catalog CB2 (Fall 2012) 

New Warehouse Inventory VG/VF Condition

   These catalogs are new and unread but were never stored in a special way so they will have imperfections caused by decades of storage and warehouse consolidation. They were also shipped from the publisher as-is without anything covering them so they have gone through the U.S. Postal Service's system and were handled by machines and humans during the shipping process. As such, we are listing them in VG/VF condition rather than new. In the early 2000s, we finally placed them all in bags to make storing and handling them easier due to our warehouse's high volume of printed material.

   Warehouse inventory refers to products that have been stored in our company's warehouse for the past few decades versus someone's house or basement which may have cat hairs, pet dander, food odors, insects, and other detrimental contagions and contaminants that may affect the quality of products being sold.
