We continually analyze opportunities to selectively consolidate stores in connection with openings of our next generation
Design Galleries or close stores that have been under-performing or are no longer consistent with our brand positioning. In many
cases, we continue to operate a store until its lease has expired in order to effect the closure in a cost-efficient manner.
Outlet Stores
As of January 30, 2016, we operated 17 outlet stores in 12 states in the United States and Canada. Our outlet stores are branded
as Restoration Hardware Outlet or RH Outlet and are primarily located in large outlet malls. Our outlet stores serve as an efficient
means to sell discontinued or irregular inventory outside of our core sales channels.
E-Commerce
Our primary websites, www.restorationhardware.com, www.rh.com and www.rhbabyandchild.com, provide our customers with
the ability to purchase our merchandise online. In September 2015, we launched www.rhteen.com and www.rhmodern.com, e-
commerce enabled websites devoted to our teen furnishings category and to our modern product assortment.
Our e-commerce platform allows our customers to experience the RH lifestyle reflected in our catalogs and throughout our
stores, and to shop substantially all of our current product assortment. We update our websites regularly to reflect product availability
and special offers.
The websites also offer room-based navigation, which allows the customer to envision and shop items by room or by product,
expanding on the richness of the online experience. For example, customers can search our websites for products by size or color,
browse through our extensive product categories and see detailed information about each item and collection, such as dimensions,
materials and care instructions. Additionally, customers can select color swatches and view merchandise displayed with different color
and fabric options.
