About Us
OUR HISTORY…
Oak Specialists Furniture has been family owned and operated for over 40 years!
Rick and Shirley Kearns started the business back in the 80’s with Antiques, Collectibles and Gift Items. They set-up at flea markets on the Cape, locally and in Connecticut. At that time it was named R&S Distributors (for Rick & Shirley). The store was originally located in Enfield, Connecticut. They moved the store to West Springfield where they were located for over 20 years and then changed the name to Oak Specialists, Inc. Back then our builders offered only Oak hardwood, hence our name Oak Specialists. Ricks son, Rick, worked with his Dad and Shirley for years and eventually took over the business when Rick and Shirley retired in 2004. The business has since been owned and operated by Rick and his wife Wendy.
R&S Distributors (now known as Oak Specialists Furniture) was the original furniture vendor at The Big E showing table sets, pewter figurines and gift items. It started as a small booth and is in the same location we have been at every year since, right next to the Fire Station! Our Big E furniture display has grown much bigger over the years and offers many different styles and hardwoods all made in the USA!
In 2004 we purchased and renovated our 5,000 sq. ft. Belchertown Showroom. We officially opened it in 2006. After running both locations (West Springfield and Belchertown) for 3 years, in 2009 we closed our West Springfield location and never looked back. Since then, we have been solely operating our business at 74 Maple Street (Rte 202 & 21) in Belchertown Mass. Oak Specialists Furniture is very conveniently located and we are so happy to be here!
