“The team at Oak Summit is amazing. I live about two hours from them, and was instilled with an immediate sense of trust when bidding on their items. While photos can sometimes miss damages, these errors are few and far between. Out of 24 lots purchased, overlooked damages have only been found in 2 lots, neither of which significantly impacted the value of the lot. Not only is this auction house trustworthy and reputable, they’re also a group that can be laughed with. Here, you’re not just a customer or buyer. You’re a friend the moment you walk through the doors. I’m looking forward to a long relationship with this auction house!”

Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
