The Story Behind O’Reilly’s Amish Furniture

Gary O’Reilly first got into business by helping his dad run the family’s dry cleaning stores. Gary’s many years in the family business groomed him as a salesperson and taught him the value of building relationships.

In 1972, Gary started in the furniture business in northern Illinois; and, over the years, Gary’s wife, daughter, son, and even his nephews and friends’ kids worked alongside him. Gary’s focus on family and community made his small business one that generations of families turned to for home furnishings. In the early 2000s, Gary’s family business grew to be the second largest independent furniture retailer in Illinois.

After watching the American furniture industry move production to China and return with inferior products, Gary began working with a handful of Amish craftsman in Ohio. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail made Amish furniture the right choice for Gary and his customers. Beautiful pieces made of solid wood, hand-crafted in America far exceeded the quality of the imports flooding the furniture market. The biggest benefit for customers, however, was the ability to have furniture made to their specifications. Custom options abound with Amish furniture, and Gary was delighted to tell customers “yes” to all of their furniture needs.

In 2018, Gary and his wife, Tomi, decided to move to Nashville to be near three of their grandchildren. Gary sold his successful business in Illinois and said goodbye to his lifelong home. Although leaving Illinois was bittersweet, Gary is proud to bring a new chapter of his family business to Nashville. He also brings with him a love of working with people and being part of a close-knit community.

“Being part of our community in Illinois and working with multiple generations of families kept me excited about going to work each day,” he says. “I am thrilled to be in Nashville and to bring our family’s legacy of outstanding customer service and exceptional furniture to our new community. I love meeting new people and helping them make their house feel like a home.”

“Great experience shopping here. Johnny and Gary were knowledgeable and patient with our questions. I initially expected nothing but old style cherry furniture but we found exactly what we were looking for (after literally shopping 7 other stores in metro Nashville) to go into our contemporary home. They even suggested, and made affordable, custom pieces that we would never have considered in the past. Highly recommend shopping here.”

Dan P.

“The quality of the furniture is outstanding, but the level of customer service is what really stood out. Gary is the kind of person who makes you want to come back and recommend the store to others without hesitation. We’re so grateful for his help and couldn’t be happier with our experience.”

Kay S.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled with our new dining set. It is absolutely beautiful and impeccable quality. The people who work here are so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, from the people working in the store to the people who delivered our new furniture. It is hard to furniture shop with young kids but Mr. O’Reilly turned on their favorite TV program and they were happy. The staff helped us entirely customize a table to fit the unusual dimensions of our dining room and the needs of our family. I look forward to purchasing more furniture from O’Reilly’s.”

Annie N.

“I just moved to Bellevue right across the street from O’Reilly’s furniture. I walked in to see what he had but the prices got to me so I went to a few other places and it was not made the same and all of it was made in China. I went back to O’Reilly’s and bought my kitchen set my bedroom set ad my living room furniture. I have only a few pieces at this time but the furniture and beauty of the wood are outstanding. And it is Made in America!! Gary was wonderful, spent a long time with us and explained everything in detail so customer service was the best. I highly recommend him.”
