Amish furniture is not a “style.” It’s a statement of origin and quality. You can only label a piece as “Amish furniture” if an Amish individual, family, or business has crafted it. What makes Amish furniture different? Unlike mass-produced alternatives such as particle board and veneer,

Amish craftsmen use American hardwoods and top-quality fasteners. There are no shortcuts in Amish manufacturing. While the handcrafting techniques and lack of mass production result in a slower lead time, they guarantee a greater attention to detail. You’ll be able to tell it’s higher quality just by looking at it.

Built to Last – The Craftsmanship Behind Every Piece

This attention to detail is a key part of what makes Amish furniture different from mass-produced alternatives. Most Amish furniture utilizes mortise-and-tenon joinery to give each piece a long-lasting and strong build. These interlocking wood joints are an age-old technique that is so strong it was even used for architecture in some cultures.

Solid Wood, Not Fake Wood

Choosing solid wood is another example of what makes Amish furniture different, you’ll have plenty of beautiful grains to choose from, including oak, cherry, maple, and walnut. They’ve proven themselves to be excellent materials for home furniture. While you can find these woods used across the board, certain pieces and styles may favor a specific wood type. For example, oak is traditionally used for tables and bookshelves. Meanwhile, cherry and brown maple can often be seen in bed frames, dressers, and nightstands.

Solid wood resists wear, holds finishes better, and lasts generations. This is why it has become the preferred building material for the builders of America. Wood also has a natural charm to it, and while veneer tries to mimic that beauty, it will never match the beauty, feel, and durability.

Amish furniture is built to last, not to be replaced in 5 years. That’s why the costs can be higher than pieces you’ll find at box stores. However, what makes Amish furniture different is they cannot guarantee the quality and durability that we offer with our pieces. Amish furniture is celebrated by homeowners for lasting three times longer than anything that has been mass-produced. When you break it down, you’ll spend more in the long run if you keep buying cheaper furniture than paying once for furniture that will last your whole life.
