Hand Crafted in America
The Amish have long been known for their integrity and quality craftsmanship. I have heard many people say "it's Amish made so of course it's good" and I agree. Their dedication to religion carries over into every piece of furniture that they build. Amish built furniture and everything that it encompasses are what you'll find in this lense.
Beautiful furniture comes from beautiful country
Far from most modern conveniences
The Amish live in pretty rural areas and it makes for some absolutely amazing scenery. this is a sunrise I've only been able to capture in Ohio Amish country. Farm Fresh Furniture
Most people don't understand that it's actually built on their farms
I don't know of a single Amish builder that has a shop that's not on their farm. Right in amongst their cows and horses. Most of the shops are simple white pole barns with metal siding and roofs. The floors are concrete and in many cases there is no such thing as insulation. Built by hand with attention to detail
slow and methodical produces the best furniture possible
High quality furniture cannot be assembled by a machine. They do what they're programmed to do not matter what is going on. Hand assembly allow the builders to inspect every piece making sure that it meets their quality standards. This is one of the reasons it takes so long to get these heirloom quality pieces. Hand assembled and sanded
The finishing touch is what matters most
Solid wood furniture needs lots of preparation for the best look possible. Hand sanding is truly critical to the whole process because it allows for the inspection of the whole piece.Once the stain has been wiped or sprayed on they top coat everything with a catalyzed conversion varnish which is one of the best top coats currently available for durability and everyday use
Customization
Getting exactly what you want
One of the best ways to find out if the furniture you're looking at is Amish built is to see if you can customize it to your liking. True Amish furniture is built to order and can easily be customized if the retailer your working with tells you that it can't be built differently then they are not selling Amish made furniture. The only exception is the dining chairs. The components for each chair are made before hand making it very difficult and costly to custom build them.
Obtaining Family Heirlooms
Furniture your grandchildren will love
Amish furniture is sold all over the country by many different retailers. You can even buy furniture online.Choosing a retailer to work with can be a daunting task. Work with someone you feel comfortable with. That answers your questions and helps you understand the pros and cons of your options. The best retailers will help you understand the in's and out's of the different designs and doesn't try to up sell you into higher priced items. They're goal should be to point you in the direction that makes the most sense for your life and lifestyle.
