You will see many Amish furniture shops on your next visit to Ohio’s Amish Country. People from all over the country and the world visit the area to explore and experience Amish culture. That lifestyle is strongly represented in their traditions of quality furniture making. If you are looking to furnish your home, we recommend using Donna’s as your home base while you visit all the shops. If you are not currently looking for new furniture, we still recommend stopping into a few shops to witness the value and features of Amish made furniture.
Why should you purchase Amish made furniture?
- It is made from ethically sourced hardwood. Most Amish furniture makers use real hardwood from North America. In comparison, chain furniture stores often feature engineered wood. Making furniture from engineered wood makes it cheaper to purchase but it is also cheaper in quality.
- Furniture made from real hardwood is more exquisite. The dining room tables boast the beauty of the natural knots and grain of the wood. Everything they create is a unique, one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
- The Amish are master woodworkers. Since they do not use electricity, their woodworking techniques are meticulous. The time and effort spent results in sturdy craftsmanship.
- You will be supporting fair labor wages and safe work environments. Oftentimes you will meet the actual person or people who make the furniture.
- Amish furniture is often custom-made. We all know the trouble of having specific room dimensions and then looking for a piece of furniture that will fit. The dining table you end up choosing might not be your favorite style but at least it fits in your breakfast nook. And there is never the option to simply request a table that is two inches shorter. When you work with an Amish furniture marker, you can pick the design, the wood, the varnish, and the size. In the end, you have a piece of furniture that is perfect for your style and perfect for the size of your home.
- Amish furniture is meant to last a lifetime or more. When you purchase Amish furniture, you are buying an heirloom that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
