Founded in 1949 and acquired by Williams-Sonoma, Inc., in 1986, Pottery Barn has evolved into the leading home furnishings retailer in the country. Today we have over 200 stores, a direct-mail business that distributes over 140 million catalogs a year, and a website that combines ease of shopping with exclusive features. The success of the brand has also led to the launch of Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, Pottery Barn Outdoor Spaces, Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen.
