Restoration Hardware Furnishes Its Distribution Center With Manhattan Associates

Exceptional design, outstanding quality, and unprecedented value—that's the guiding principle by which Restoration Hardware serves its clientele. Based in Marin County, a short drive over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, the company was founded nearly 30 years ago by Stephen Gordon.

As he restored his Queen Anne Victorian house in Eureka, California, Gordon spent endless, frustrating days tracking down missing pieces of authentic period hardware, lighting fixtures and finishes. Recognizing a market space, he decided to open the first Restoration Hardware store in 1980.

Today it's become one of the leading purveyors of premium home merchandise, operating more than 100 retail and outlet store locations in the United States and Canada. Its stores and rapidly growing direct-to-consumer business include catalogs and e-commerce sites that offer high-end linens, furniture, bathware, hardware and lighting fixtures.

"Our unyielding commitment to quality, service and authenticity has earned Restoration Hardware the trust and loyalty of customers who turn to us first when searching for unique home furnishings, planning a bathroom renovation or outfitting their child's nursery," said Ken Dunaj, executive vice president and COO. "In fact, that quality commitment is our brand proposition."
