About Thorntree

How It All Started

Stuart and his dad, Clive, set up shop in 1980, shortly after the Rae family arrived in Texas from South Africa (listen to Stuart’s accent). The first shop was a small office and adjoining warehouse on West 34th Street in Houston, TX. They primarily sold slate roof tiles to a small group of forward-thinking custom home builders but it didn’t take long for the father – son duo to begin calling on architects from an old relic known as the Houston Yellow Pages. Thorntree has grown exponentially over the last 46 years and continues to offer top tier products and customer service.

See It In Real Life

We have four locations, conveniently located in Houston and Dallas. Our corporate office, which is also home to our warehouse and showroom, is located in Jersey Village just off Hwy 290 and the Beltway. Our showcase studio is located on Old Katy Rd. in the center of the bustling Design District at the Houston Design Center. Our new pop-up studio in EADO (Houston) is devoted to inspired collaboration with an eye towards the latest natural stone and porcelain solutions. In Dallas, Thorntree can be found in The Dallas Design District alongside some of the finest interior design studios and trade showrooms. We welcome you to stop by any of our locations and enjoy some great Thorntree hospitality as you peruse the latest natural stone, porcelain, glass, and finely crafted European ceramics..
