I originally found them while searching for a very specific product that no one else seemed to carry—and not only did they have it, but the samples arrived quickly and were absolutely beautiful. I also needed help finding a complementary tile to pair with a product I had already purchased, and after struggling on my own, I reached out to Rhona. She nailed it effortlessly. Her eye for design and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I truly look forward to partnering with Thorntree Slate on many more projects to come! **★★★★★ — Winfrey Design Build, Sept. 2016** > Great tile selections. My designers have been happy with the wide variety of looks that make my homes cutting edge. Everybody is very knowledgeable about the products. **★★★★★ — Gryphon Builders, Aug. 2016** > Gryphon Builders has had the opportunity to work with Thorntree on just a handful of projects but each time they have done a great job making my clients happy. As the builder, I am impressed with their professionalism and my clients are pleased with the beautiful products that are installed in their homes. Thorntree always has something unique in stock and I would definitely work with them again. **★★★★★ — Ashwood Designs and Custom Homes, June 2016** > Thorntree has a great selection of tile and marble/slate slabs. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in helping our clients pick the best product for their needs and wants. We will continue to use and recommend Thorntree on our upcoming projects. **★★★★★ — Paige Preston, Feb. 2016** > They have really great products! They're high quality and look great with our new outdoor patio and kitchen. They were also very nice salespeople to work with. **★★★★★ — Melanie King Designs, LLC, Aug. 2014** > I am building a custom home and wanted the absolute best materials. Not only were the owner and lead outside rep enjoyable to work with, they were truly knowledgeable and passionate about their products. > > They went beyond what was asked and located specific materials at specific sizes from their suppliers. Having direct communication with quarries around the world led them to find just what we desired. > > Our home is going to be wonderful and everyday we will see these beautiful stones. We cannot wait! > > Melanie King > principle, Melanie King Designs **★★★★★ — Osborne Cabinets and Millwork, Inc., Aug. 2014** > We enjoy being in The Houston Design Center located closely to Thorntree to have access to their showroom and wonderful selections. We constantly refer our customers to them and hear great feedback! **★★★★★ — Missy Stewart Designs, July 2014** > I use Thorntree whenever I have a client that has tile or slate needs. They have two beautiful showrooms to work in. My clients love to see their selections installed in the showroom. The sales staff is extremely professional as is their support staff. They also have product that I have not seen anywhere else in Houston. I highly recommend Thorntree Slate. **★★★★★ — Cabinet Innovations, May 2014** > We were in the process of updating one of our showroom displays to start off 2014 with a Bang! We contacted Thorntree and worked with Renee and found our favorite backsplash to date, "Antique Silver". They have a beautiful showroom with an extensive array of contemporary stones and exotic materials. **★★★★★ — Collinas Design & Construction, Sept. 2012** > We have used Thorntree Slate as our primary custom stone and tile supplier for many years. They have quality materials and they work hard to keep their selections fresh and current. They have a great staff who is knowledgable and helpful. We've taken countless clients to Thorntree and we never leave disappointed. **★★★★★ — Camian Larson of Zenteriors Design, Sept. 2012** > I have used Thorntree's stone tiles from a local vendor on numerous projects. Each time we received our delivery, I was very pleased with the quality and consistency of the product. There are a lot of companies that sell slate, but you really never know what kind of product you might receive. Thorntree sells a great product. **Comment from Thorntree Slate:** > Thank you very much for your positive review. I am just curious to know which local vendor you use? thank you so much again. ## Selected projects - [Residential](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residential-pj-vj~1215874) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 149 - [Royal Oaks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/royal-oaks-pj-vj~2629282) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 9 - Description: This was a complete renovation from a very traditional home to the contemporary one you see now.
