CB2 Blox Coffee Table Review: Industrial Cool for Urban Apartments
Urban Staple
The CB2 Blox is what happens when a furniture brand correctly identifies that a lot of its customers live in apartments and want pieces that say "intentional" rather than "I bought whatever fit through the elevator."
Steel frame, mango wood top, clean lines. It's not trying to be a showpiece — it's trying to be a reliable part of a considered room.
