Order Hand-made Amish Furniture

Raised Amish, our owner Mel Stutzman is deeply rooted in his local Amish community and culture. You can rest assured that all the furniture we sell will be made by Amish hands, using time-tested woodworking techniques to meet the highest standards.

The most obvious answer is that Amish furniture should be made by skilled Amish artisans, but the differences extend well beyond that. Amish furniture is prized because of its elite woodworking techniques, usage of premium materials, and attention to detail that comes from hand-crafted pieces. 

Telltale signs of Amish furniture are its uncompromising joinery (like dovetail joints and mortise and tenon joints), and reliance upon solid North American hardwoods like oak, cherry, maple, and walnut. Completed Amish furnishings are sanded, stained, and then sealed with a catalyzed conversion varnish which acts as a barrier against everyday wear and tear. While the Amish themselves are most associated with traditional furniture styles, their craftspeople are able to make a broad range of designs, including those with more contemporary elements. 

Regardless of whether you choose a cherry wood dining table or a Queen Anne bedroom set, you can expect nothing short of beautiful artistry that will last a lifetime.

The overwhelming majority of our pieces are available in multiple types of North American hardwoods. Exceptions include furniture made exclusively from reclaimed wood, as well as Amish-crafted outdoor furniture that use high-quality poly lumber chosen for its superior resilience to weather. However, the customization options for Amish furniture don’t end there. While specifics will vary from piece to the next, general offerings include:

Dining Chairs, Sofas, and Other Seats - choose whether to upholster the seat, the type of upholstery (fabric or leather), and the specific color and pattern. You may also be able to determine if the chair should have arms, as well as the length of items like benches. 

Dining Tables - The majority of our Amish-made tables come in multiple sizes and with the option of leaves. You may be able to decide the specific shape and edge profile. 

Hutches - We offer hundreds of variations on this classic Amish furniture piece. You may be able to further customize your selection by choosing the hardware, style of back, and whether you want add-ons like silverware trays. 

Desks - Countryside Amish Furniture lets you customize this office fixture in 10+ different ways with the specifics varying from desk to desk. Options can include the leather used in padding, the design of the hardware, the direction of the return layout, and whether to add on locks, hutches, wire grommets, and knee drawers. You may even have multiple sizes from which to choose!

These are only some of the ways we can customize our Amish furniture. If you do not see the option you desire, reach out to discuss how we can further accommodate your needs. 

Our Amish furniture makers solely use wood from North American forests, harvested using techniques that don’t damage the surrounding growth and promote regeneration. The lumber is carefully assessed for knots or blemishes that could undermine its strength.
