Founded in 1949 and acquired by Williams-Sonoma, Inc. in 1986, Pottery Barn has become the leading home furnishings retailer in the country. Today we have 200 stores, a direct-mail business that distributes over 100 million catalogs a year, and a highly regarded website that combines ease of shopping with exclusive shopping tools, a Design Studio and more. 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.
