Have you ever searched online for a piece of furniture but can't find exactly what you're looking for? Imagine being able to customize a piece that perfectly matches your style and space.
Because furniture is so personal, “It’s very hard to buy online when you’re talking about a major purchase,” says Stephanie O’Reilly Stricker. “Furniture is something that people want to touch, to see the grain in the wood, and to open the drawers.”
Stephanie works alongside her father, Gary O’Reilly, at their family business, O’Reilly’s Amish Furniture, where they bring customers’ visions to life.
Gary entered the furniture business in the Chicago suburbs in 1972. Wanting to be near his grandchildren, he relocated to Nashville, where he opened the store at 8223 Highway 100 in Bellevue on January 1, 2020. O’Reilly’s features merchandise that is sourced from 70 different Amish builders from Ohio and Indiana.
From midcentury modern and transitional, to urban and mixed media styles, O’Reilly’s offers complete customization of the look, feel, and size of furniture, even building it specifically to fit a space, down to a quarter of an inch.
Customers can select the wood type, finish, hardware, bases, edging and more. There are even opportunities to mix-and-match in stock inventory to fit exact styles. O’Reilly’s carries entertainment centers, bookcases, bedroom sets, dining tables, chairs, desks, end tables, sofas, and just about any other piece of furniture a customer can think of. Production time for custom furniture takes about 4-12 weeks.
“Bottom line is, we do what no other furniture store can do,” says Gary. “We’re the biggest store in town that’s entirely American made and I’m very proud of that. It’s the way to buy furniture. I always tell people ‘It’s your money, why would you settle for what you didn’t want?”
