Love the chairs!
5 star rating
These chairs are wonderful! We have been using the chairs (and the table) for about six weeks now. The chairs are so comfortable. We got the leather seats--highly recommend doing so. Everyone says that these chairs are so lovely to sit on. The wood is beautiful, clearly skilled craftsmen made the chairs (table and sideboard). Thank you!
Quality workmanship

This was our first purchase with Countryside Amish Furniture. We would absolutely recommend them for purchasing high quality beautifully crafted furniture. Our chairs are well made, sturdy, comfortable and beautiful! The sales reps were friendly and always responded quickly to any questions we had. Our wonderful experience lead us to recently make yet another purchase from Countryside…a beautiful cabinet for our dining room.

The chairs matched the table perfectly. The table is 48 years old and is made of solid wood and your chairs look like they were always a part of the set. The set is located in our breakfast area and looks like the day we purchased it. Just a quick note to tell you how very satisfied we are with the beautiful chairs. Your color match was perfect and the quality of the wood was top notch. Thanks again for such lovely craftsmanship. You can be certain that I will recommend your company to all our friends.
Very good, solid chairs!
