Everything Amish

“Hi, Laura

“I ordered a dining table with 4 chairs, a coffee table and 2 end tables. They all arrived as planned and were set up in time for Thanksgiving. The furniture is beautiful and very well made.

Mary decided on getting several styles like Mission, Arts & Crafts and Madison. One thing good about Amish Furniture, you can mix and match different styles of your choice.

“It is solid wood and put together for durability. In fact, it is so well made that I am considering passing it on as a heritage piece to my niece. Just love it and plan to order a couple of living room chairs next.

“Amish Furniture and I corresponded several times through email and they were always prompt in answering questions and a pleasure to work with.

“They are great people.

Mary from California”

“We got the hutch today, and although I only have a few pieces in it, I HAD to send you some pictures!”

“I am so pleased with how it came out and the whole ordering process. Also, Matthew (delivery driver) was wonderful and very personable. I’m afraid I may have scared him a bit with how excited I was 😉

“Thanks for everything,

Tasiana from Virginia”

“Laura was extremely helpful and worked with me for several months until I was certain about what I wanted.”

Gail from Iowa”

Start Rocking with Harrisburg Mission Rocker

“We were completely satisfied with our on-line choice of Amish Furniture Factory for the manufacture of our new rocking chair.  The quarter-sawn oak has a great personality, the chair’s structure is as solid as a rock, and talk about comfort!

We had no idea that a rocker could be so generous.  The “white glove” delivery brought us a work of art with no blemishes whatsoever.”
 

He ordered a beautiful Harrisburg Mission Rocker in quarter-sawn white oak with Michaels Cherry stain.

“The only problem we have is that there’s no room here for another chair of the kind. 

Joseph from Florida”

Why Amish Furniture Shopping Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

 
Dennis from California got this Princeton Dining Table and Meridian Dining Chairs in quarter-sawn oak with FC-106 Acres stain.
 

 
But before he got his dining room set, he found the best way to shop for Amish furniture online. Here’s what Dennis writes about Amish Furniture Factory.

The Best Quality Selection

 
“Our new table is amazing—the finish is smooth and pleasant to the touch; the chairs are solid and the cushions very comfortable. In fact, we noticed immediately that the (lumbar support) curve of the chair backs was an improvement on the previous chairs.
 

“Our experience with the website and the company was exemplary. After visiting numerous stores in our area as well as visiting numerous websites, we concluded that the combination of features we wanted in a table was only going to be found on an Amish furniture site.

A Website That’s Easy to Understand

 
“We visited a dozen or so different web stores, and Amish Furniture Factory’s site really stood out. It was both easy to use and had a large amount of information available—it was easy to browse the various table and chair designs, the stain and fabric options were easy to review, and there was plenty of information about the wood types.

Human Customer Service

 
“I had made an error in my original order (placed through the website) I had selected a rustic oak instead of the regular oak and the staff caught the discrepancy and called me to clarify. Throughout the process, they were great to work with—they made a custom stain sample for us, and the final delivery was punctual and in fact earlier than we expected. There was an alignment problem with one of the legs and the company helped resolve that as well.
 
“The next time we look to purchase custom hand-crafted furniture, we’ll be back here for sure.
 
—Dennis”
 

Why This California Home Ordered Their Furniture In Advance

“The media cabinet and dining set are beautiful and worth the 10 weeks’ wait!”

 
When Peggy from California chose a handcrafted dining room set and TV stand, she knew it would be made-to-order, just for her. That’s why she was willing to order up to 12 weeks ahead.
 

 
“Laura my furniture is perfect! The craftsmanship is off the charts! I’m sure with care this furniture will last a hundred years! I’m so happy. Laura thank you so much!”

How This Washington Home Got the Greatest Selection of Amish Bedroom Furniture

by Vicki Nemeth

Michael from Washington found the greatest selection of Amish bedroom furniture by shopping online. Because we don’t have a physical showroom, we don’t have strict limits on what we can carry. That’s good news for Michael’s master bedroom.

The Francine series is made in America by Schwartz Bedroom and Entertainment. Once Michael discovered the series, he decided to build his master bedroom with it. So he contacted Laura for advice on selection. In total, Michael built three bedrooms. Here is more of the master bedroom, and you can see the other two bedrooms below.

In case you noticed, yes, he did say, “rooms.” Michael’s family has furnished three bedrooms (so far). The second room uses Schwartz’s extensive catalogue again. For its naval-themed decor, this room boasts the Adrianna Bed‘s classic cannonballs.

The 6 Careful Steps This Family Took to Choose Their Best Dining Room Furniture

by Vicki Nemeth

Want to know how to shop for Amish furniture? Ask Dennis and Sharon from Nebraska.

Their testimonial letter starts with, “Since we have purchased other Amish pieces over the last 15 years and had never been disappointed in the quality of craftsmanship, we were not apprehensive about ordering online.” With that much experience, they’re clearly Amish furniture fans.

When they decided to buy a dining set for their open concept living room and dining room, they knew exactly how to find the best pieces. The search didn’t start with us, but they ended up here because they did their research. Here are 6 important steps they took to make their home’s best match in Amish dining room furniture.

1. Start shopping early

Buying heirloom furniture is a major decision, so Dennis and Sharon didn’t take it lightly. “We had shopped for an Amish dining room set for about 6 months at several local Amish furniture dealers and also online,” they write. Starting to shop early gives you time to make careful decisions about your style, including viewing color samples. After you choose, Amish builders make each piece as it’s ordered and can take over eight weeks. Delivery for handcrafted furniture is also a careful process.

2. Know your style 

Say Dennis and Sharon, “We knew the style we wanted so it was quick and easy to make comparisons.” They already had a lot of wood statement pieces in their farmhouse-country home. What’s more is their living room had rounded edges on the upholstered furniture. Traditional-style furniture would match with the living room, but they had to avoid going full rococo in order to match the farmhouse decor.

Starting to shop early came in handy here. The time they spent made it possible to learn about the traditional style, manufacturers, and the name of the Hampton line. Then they could shop around.

3. Search the web

Internet searching makes shopping around fast. Browsing both in person and online helped Dennis and Sharon decide that an understated traditional style was their best match. As soon as they knew the word “traditional,” they were able to type that in and browse until they found out that the furniture they liked is called Hampton. Searching “Hampton” put numerous offers in front of Dennis and Sharon, and from there they could compare everyone’s prices.

That’s where we came in: “Amish Furniture Factory’s price was significantly less than any other local or online dealers and made Amish furniture affordable,” they say.

4. Use your imagination when purposing furniture

More than just a dining room, Dennis and Sharon’s space contains a living room. So they may have considered a sideboard, but instead they chose the Hampton Cabinet Sofa Table, which fits perfectly behind their sofa. Remember not to hold yourself back with strict rules about handcrafted furniture. Get what you will love to use in your home.

5. Call customer service 

Another benefit to starting to shop early is you will have enough time to ask for customizations. After all, it is handcrafted furniture. Unlike mass-producing factories, craftspeople’s methods leave room to add the individuality you need to perfectly suit your home. This includes custom measurements, shelving, or finishes like two-tone or weathering.

If a piece of furniture is almost exactly what you want, it’s a good idea to call the office to mine the staff for knowledge. Say Dennis and Sharon, “Laura was very helpful, communicated well and reviewed our order several times for accuracy. Stain samples were sent to us and we could customize the furniture.” Many pieces of furniture have options beyond what are listed on their webpages. You never know what customizations could be possible if you would just ask.

It’s almost always the right choice to have physical wood and stain samples shipped so you can view them with the lighting you intend to use in your space. This takes time too.

Finally, it’s important to make sure you got your order right. Buying Amish furniture is a commitment and you wouldn’t want to get all hyped up only to be delivered the wrong furniture. We’ve corrected orders after shipping before, but re-shipping and waiting all over again is quite the hassle!

6. Choose white glove delivery 

Just do it. If you’ve just bought Amish furniture, it’s worth the investment to get professionals who will carry it all into your house for you and put it together in the right places. Right now it’s only $30 more than curbside delivery and it will save you the work of lifting and the risk of damaging your hardwood furniture and your house.

Here’s why white glove delivery was the best choice for Dennis and Sharon: “Communication on the delivery date was great and delivery was right on time. We chose the white glove option for delivery. The delivery man was excellent. He was friendly, clean, well-organized, and did his job in a very professional manner. He showed us how to open the table and store the leaves and made sure everything was to our satisfaction.”

After 6 months of shopping, Dennis and Sharon were pleased with their order. “Upon examination of our new dining room furniture, we found it to be handcrafted in the manner that we always expect from the Amish. It is a beautiful set. We would definitely order through Amish Furniture Factory again and highly recommend them.”

New Jersey Kitchen Gets a Smooth New Pantry

“My experience with purchasing my pantry with Amish Furniture Factory could not have been better! I appreciated the guidance provided while making my decision. Receiving samples of the stained wood was very helpful with matching the color to my kitchen.

“The delivery was a little earlier than first stated even though I ordered over the holiday and it was custom built. Even the delivery all the way to NJ went well, the driver kept in touch so I’d know when he would arrive and was prompt. The pantry was delivered in perfect condition.

“I absolutely love the pantry; it holds so much food. The quality is 10 out of 10!
