DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-45638) (the “Registration Statement”) of Restoration Hardware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Restoration Hardware”), pertaining to the registration of certain shares of common stock issuable under the Restoration Hardware, Inc. 1998 Stock Incentive Plan to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 12, 2000.

On June 17, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 8, 2007 (as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto dated as of January 24, 2008, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Home Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Home Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Restoration Hardware, Merger Sub merged with and into Restoration Hardware (the “Merger”) with Restoration Hardware as the surviving corporation of the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Restoration Hardware (other than dissenting shares or shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) or held by Restoration Hardware, or any subsidiary of Restoration Hardware, immediately prior to the Effective Time) was converted into the right to receive $4.50 per share, to the holder thereof in cash. The Merger became effective upon filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 17, 2008 (the “Effective Time”).

As a result of the Merger, Restoration Hardware has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by Restoration Hardware in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Restoration Hardware hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the Effective Time.
