Amish Furniture for Illinois Shoppers

Based in the heart of Amish Country in Arthur, Illinois, Countryside Amish Furniture connects customers with the finest Amish furniture makers from well beyond the borders of the state. This means that a Chicago household can browse through thousands of designs representing the handiwork of Amish furniture makers across the country—all from the comfort of their Illinois home.

When most people think of Amish furniture, a certain look no doubt comes to mind—hardwood pieces reminiscent of Mission, Shaker, or French Country styles, embellished with such features as turned legs, crown molding, bun feet, and uniform slats. In this regard, Countryside Amish Furniture does not disappoint! Some of our most popular products among Illinois shoppers include traditional secretary desks, four post beds, and classic all-wood dining chairs.

Many of our Illinois customers are surprised to discover the breadth of modern aesthetics and details our Amish furniture builders offer. This extends to industrial-themed dining tables that merge solid wood with strong metal bases, fully upholstered couches with power recline functions, and computer desks enhanced with LED lighting, wire grommets, and other practical add-ons.

As a company, our top priority is delivering the best furniture possible. For outdoor furniture, this means transitioning from traditional hardwood to poly lumber.

Simply put, poly lumber is far better suited to handle the weather extremes of Illinois compared to natural hardwood. Made from recycled plastic, this durable material is entirely resistant to rot and splintering, won't overheat or fade under prolonged sun exposure, and is incredibly low-maintenance. This means it will retain its appearance year after year with minimal care.

Best of all, poly lumber can mimic the appearance of wood or take on a rainbow of vibrant colors. Let our outdoor furniture feed for creativity!

What don’t we offer? Any exotic timber or species harvested illegally—a surprisingly widespread problem within the furniture industry. We also refuse to use softwoods like pine, particle board, or false veneers that undermine the structural sturdiness of our furniture.

Is it really Amish craftspeople making the furniture, even the more modern pieces?

Yes! We recognize that some lesser furniture manufacturers refer to “Amish furniture” as merely a style, essentially misleading customers about the origins of the pieces. This is not the case of Countryside Amish Furniture—every piece is handcrafted by skilled Amish workers using the strongest techniques.

How long does it typically take to get the Amish furniture in Illinois? 

Estimated lead times for Illinois are 14-18 weeks. This is because each furniture piece is built individually rather than being mass produced and ready-to-go in a warehouse. Moreover, certain crafting processes take time; for example, the catalyzed conversion varnish we use takes at least a month to dry, resulting in the most protective finish possible for your furniture. 

We’ll keep in touch throughout the entire building process and appreciate your patience as our Amish builders are hard at work!

The Amish residents of Arthur, Illinois have enriched the local area with their craftsmanship, family values, and nuanced culture. As the country’s fourth-largest community of Old Order Amish, they are welcoming to visitors interested in learning more about their way of life. In fact, our Ultimate Guide to Visiting Arthur, Illinois details numerous activities, including farm visits, Amish-themed shopping, and fun annual events.

Many of the Amish in Arthur, Illinois consider themselves “House Amish,” meaning they hold their religious services within their homes rather than in a church. As a result, home, family, and community are at the forefront of every decision. Because “everyone knows everyone,” one’s reputation is considered the most precious commodity—both in personal and professional affairs. This is the bedrock upon which Amish craftsmanship has earned national recognition, as the focus is placed on completing tasks with care and honesty rather than speed or cost-cutting measures.

While the Amish furniture made in Illinois and beyond has its leagues of fans, it’s not the only types of products for which the Amish are known. We welcome you to explore other available goods with Our Favorite Online Stores for Amish Products.
