Its galleries -- typically 30,000 to 80,000 square feet -- sell RH's own furniture, lighting and outdoor collections rather than other manufacturers' lines, with custom upholstery and finish options available.

Custom upholstery and finish options are part of its standard offering.

Questions shoppers ask

Do furniture showrooms in Palo Alto require an appointment?
Most accept walk-ins during posted hours. A store that works primarily by appointment or trade referral will usually say so on its own site — worth a quick check before a special trip.
Is delivery included in the price on the tag?
Rarely. Delivery, white-glove setup and haul-away of an old piece are usually quoted separately from the sticker price. Ask for an all-in number before you commit.
Does this guide sell furniture?
No. This is an editorial ranking guide, not a retailer. We don't sell furniture, take orders or process payment — every store listed runs its own showroom and its own checkout.
