Craftsmanship and quality have always been at the core of our business model, in fact, many of our products are crafted within the United States in our Sutter Street facility.

When US production isn’t available or possible, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. strives to select vendors that are “best in industry” and are committed to the same level of quality. We carefully choose vendors in countries based on a variety of factors including – material availability, technical knowhow, finishing capabilities, high-tech machinery, access to skilled craftspeople and price.

As outlined within module one, all of the wood utilized in Williams-Sonoma, Inc. furniture is kiln dried. In addition to this industry standard, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. deploys additional construction details that signify high quality and craftsmanship.
