We started our business back in the 80's with Antiques, Collectibles and Gifts. We set-up at flea markets on the Cape, locally and in Connecticut. At that time our name was R&S Distributors. Our store was originally located in Enfield, Connecticut. We then moved our store to West Springfield where we were located for over 20 years and then changed our name to Oak Specialists, Inc.

We have been searching for a new bedroom set for quite a while now and found exactly what we wanted here! Not only did we find quality furniture but we were also able to make custom changes to our total satisfaction with the pieces that we wanted. Rick and Wendy were extremely helpful, friendly and patient with our many questions. As a matter of fact, they were so nice that they treated us like we've been friends for years! I would highly recommend Oak Specialist, Inc. to anyone for a great furniture buying experience!

Thank you Wendy and Rick for your quick service! We were thrilled that our furniture came in earlier then expected! We absolutely LOVE our new Adirondack chairs and tables. The quality is amazing and we will enjoy them for many years to come.

I didn't go personally but my brother and sister in law drove from Connecticut. They loved the style, the store and the great hospitality. I would have love to seen the store but I live in Arkansas. I definitely recommend you all to check it out

Rick and Wendy - thank you so much for helping us create our dream bedroom! The furniture is gorgeous and the new mattress is super comfortable. This was a great experience from start to finish - a laid back, low pressure sales environment, high quality furniture, and professional/friendly delivery! We'll definitely be back!

Thank you Rick and Wendy for the wonderful outdoor furniture we ordered from you! We have dined 'al fresco' every dinner since it arrived! The quality is amazing and we love that it is made from recycled plastic. It will last forever! Next year I'm hoping to get my new indoor dining set! Have a great summer!

Rick and Wendy were incredible to work with! We came to the store on a bad weather day and the store had closed for the day. I messaged the store on Facebook and they answered right back and offered to come back to the store because we had made the trip. Talk about customer service! Our entire experience was a 10. They both have lots of knowledge and were really able to help us find the perfect table for our new dining room!

Just took delivery of our custom oak dining nook, which we ordered in November! It is beautiful and the quality is excellent! Delivery staff went above and beyond. After years of seeing you at the Big E, so glad we took the time to get to your showroom. You are the best!

Do not do business with this company. 6 months ago I ordered a kitchen table and chairs from them with an expected delivery date of January or February. I received a call in March to say that the table was delayed, but no other update. At the end of March I was told that the table was at the finish shop but they had no idea where the chairs were. I received the same information yesterday. Not only do they seem completely incapable of delivering what they sell, they seem entirely unconcerned about it.

What a fantastic place to do business with! Wendy is a pleasure to work with! Had a chair that needed to be fixed, dropped it off, and a day later the chair was fixed and looks as good as the day I bought it! You will not be disappointed!

We had a major kitchen remodel, had new oak cabinets, and were looking for an oak dining room set. After trying different local furniture stores and finding nothing, a friend mentioned Oak Specialists. The display room is amazing! There were so many beautiful pieces it was hard to make a selection. We finally settled on a table style in one display and chair style in another display.

This family was incredible to work with. When we got home we realized the table we ordered would be too big for our room. An immediate call was made to go a size smaller. We were asked to return with a kitchen cabinet door so the stain could be matched as closely as possible. We were told up front that the set would be made by the Amish and would take several months with no guarantee on a specific date. An estimate was given.

When the set arrived months later, we were not ready for delivery due to some problems on our end. The family could not have been more helpful and gracious in working with us, holding the furniture until the room was ready. The set was delivered yesterday and it is gorgeous! It is high quality, beautifully made, perfect match stain-wise, and a real showpiece. I cannot recommend this company more highly. great on every level. Thank you Oak Specialists!

My parents were extremely disappointed with their experience. They special ordered a coffee table and it took 10 months for it to get to them. Then when they received the table it was the wrong size, it tips over very easily and didn't have the drawer. The only way they fixed the problem was to give them free polish and cleaner. They will not be returning to this store.

Firstly, let me say the furniture that I had custom ordered and my family had custom ordered is absolutely beautiful! BUT, the estimated time frame they gave us was way completely off and delivery was a hassle. They estimated that our furniture would be ready 4 months ago - and it was just delivered today. They never called me about delivery and I had to call them several times to schedule the delivery.

The delivery ended up being free because of the issues we were having (late time frame and trouble scheduling delivery). We paid quite a bit for custom furniture, I was not anticipating any issues. Great furniture though! But do not expect it to be ready when they tell you it will be.
