Not much on view between the pages

I was waiting for someone to say something about the new CB2 catalog [“Fresh Off the Page,” Feb. 9]. I love the design and prices of West Elm and have purchased pieces for myself and my office. I was bummed when I received the new CB2 catalog. There is so much going on in furniture design -- so many young, really talented designers doing the coolest stuff I have seen in 20 years -- and all that CB2 could do was a watered-down copy of West Elm. It’s sad Crate & Barrel couldn’t do better.
