The Craftstmanship of Amish Furniture

Furniture should stand the test of time!

That seems like a pretty understandable comment, one that isn’t insane or extreme. However, it’s a shame that it’s a comment that isn’t necessarily true nowadays. Current-age Furniture — the type of which you’ll find pre-constructed in Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart — seemingly falls apart with ease, splitting at the seems, having screws wear out over basic weather patterns, and becoming faulty by seemingly just owning them for a month or two.

While it might seem like this is the only option we have nowadays in dealing with these monopolies, aside from building it yourself, you should know that there are other options available. One of the first and foremost options you should consider is that of Amish furniture.

Amish furniture, which is 100% hand-crafted, has been long adored for their impeccable beauty and quality — of which has garnered a great deal of attention from antique dealers and historians. Surveys of consumers have stated that over 90% of people “expect furniture to last for many years,” and that wood furniture should hold-up for at least 15 years. That Home Depot shed isn’t going to last that long (Good luck if you get 5 years out of it). Amish furniture, on the other hand, will still be standing even against the worst types of weather, lasting for the decades to come.

While you might not realize it, there are a many types of Amish furniture available on the market — Amish dog houses, Amish chicken coops, Amish sheds, and more. One that would make for a great long-term investment, beyond the basics, are those that come from Amish garage builders.

Amish garage builders have perfected the art of constructing Amish barns, Amish storage barns, and Amish garage kits. These garages and storage areas, constructed by the finest of all Amish garage builders, are created with ingenuity and construction-methods handed down from generation to generation, of which will ensure long-term structural success. While you might not expect it, considering that they will not be using power tools or more “updated” methods of construction, these Amish garage builders are able to build the finest storage areas. The reason for this comes down to an eye for detail, one that is incredibly heightened by the fact that these people are working with their hands rather than machinery, feeling the furniture as they go. With this furniture, you are receiving the utmost quality — furniture built to last.
