What is Amish Furniture?
The handcrafted furniture created by the Amish is identifiable by its unadorned, simple lines and its precise construction. Made predominantly from oak, maple, and cherry woods using only hand tools, these handsome dining room tables, kitchen tables, and bedroom sets are found in Amish communities throughout Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Excellent construction is a hallmark of Amish furniture. Dovetail joints and hand-mitered corners ensure that these pieces will last a lifetime, if not longer. Because each piece is made to order, it can be custom stained to match individual decors, from light maple to rich pecan to deep mahogany. Staining, too, is done by hand which gives the piece a rich, hand-rubbed finish.
