2005, we disclosed on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that due to a non-recurring $0.09 per share lease accounting charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, our Compensation Committee granted bonuses on a
discretionary basis outside of our 2001 Incentive Bonus Plan (the &#147;Bonus Plan&#148;) to our Chief Executive Officer and our four next most highly compensated executive officers reflecting each officer&#146;s contribution to the Company&#146;s
financial results for fiscal 2004. The payment outside of our Bonus Plan was required because our Bonus Plan did not contemplate the possibility of a non-recurring adjustment affecting the earnings objectives set by the Compensation Committee under
the Bonus Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">We have now reversed the $0.09 per share lease accounting
charge. Excluding this charge, our diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2004 exceeded the earnings objectives set by the Compensation Committee under the Bonus Plan. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has determined that the bonus payments
previously approved should be paid under the Bonus Plan, to the degree permitted by the Bonus Plan, and that the remaining portion should continue to be characterized as discretionary additional bonuses outside of the Bonus Plan. The total bonus
amounts the officers receive remain identical to the amounts previously approved by the Compensation Committee and disclosed on our prior Form 8-K. The bonus payments under the Bonus Plan and the discretionary additional bonuses are as follows:

SIZE="3">San Francisco, CA, April 15, 2005 &#150; Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) today announced that based on new guidance provided by the SEC and the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP, the
Company is reversing the $0.09 per diluted share lease accounting charge that it reflected in its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2004 earnings release on March 22, 2005. Excluding this charge, diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2004 increased 11.8% to $0.95 versus $0.85 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003. Diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2004 increased 21.2% to $1.60 versus $1.32 per diluted share in fiscal year 2003.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">which our lease accounting policies were not consistent with the SEC&#146;s position was in the recognition of rent cost
during rent holidays. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">On March 22, 2005, based on our interpretation of the
SEC letter and the advice that we had received from our independent registered public accounting firm, we publicly announced that the cumulative financial impact of correcting our accounting for rent holidays in the fourth quarter and fiscal year
2004 was to increase pre-tax rent expense by $17.4 million or $0.09 per diluted share, which we reflected in our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2004 earnings press release. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">Subsequent to our March 22, 2005 press release, however, the SEC further clarified, and our independent auditors confirmed, that if a
company had a previously established accounting policy of capitalizing rent paid during build-out periods, then the rent cost allocated to the rent holiday period should also be capitalized, not expensed. As our established policy has been to
capitalize rent paid during build-out periods, this further clarification by the SEC and our independent auditors resulted in our reversal of the $0.09 per diluted share lease accounting charge that we had reflected in our March 22, 2005 earnings
press release. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">To correct our accounting for rent holidays, however, we did
have to capitalize the rent cost allocated to the rent holiday period. Accordingly, we capitalized $17.4 million in property and equipment with an offsetting liability recorded in deferred rent and lease incentives as of January 30, 2005. This
adjustment does not change our historical or future cash flows nor the timing or amount of our lease payments, as it is solely related to a non-cash balance sheet accounting correction. Furthermore, it is not expected to have a material impact on
future earnings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">These changes will be reflected in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2005, to be filed with the SEC later today. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">Our March 22, 2005 fiscal year 2005 guidance release assumed approximately $0.01 per diluted share of additional occupancy expense, attributed to our anticipated lease
accounting for rent holidays, which will no longer be applicable due to capitalizing rent cost allocated to the rent holiday period. Therefore, we have raised our annual guidance for fiscal 2005 diluted earnings per share by $0.01 from the previous
range of $1.83 to $1.87 to a range of $1.84 to $1.88, an increase of 15.0% to 17.5% over the $1.60 per diluted share earned in fiscal 2004. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
