Curbed National got the scoop on all the awesomely strange design details in Restoration Hardware. (Please, oh please, will you open already?!) People continue to question why everyone cares so much about the opening of a furniture store (well, we really like them) but here are five reasons it may be worth the chatter:

2. An open-for-play billiard room with a refurbished vintage Brunswick table.
3. A 100-year-old beer bar salvaged from a local Boston pub.
4. An library featuring design magazines and newspapers from around the globe.
5. More than 150 chandeliers.
