Craftsman Style Furniture

Stickley-esque in appearance; Amish heirloom in construction; 100% solid hardwood Quartersawn White Oak…craftsman style sofas, loveseats, Morris chairs, coffee and end tables, made by Amish builders, are a fantastic buy. This is a value not to be missed.

For example, the full-length (84” x 36”) sofa in quarter sawn white oak, priced at $2,588, will save you enough, compared to the branded product, to buy a matching chair or two end tables to go with it. And the Amish build using traditional dovetail, hand finished construction and provide a lifetime guarantee on the foam cushion material.

Quartersawn White Oak became popular in the U.S. in the late 1800’s when Gustav Stickley and other craftsmen began building Arts and Crafts for Mission furniture in quarter sawn white oak and has again shown a strong rise in popularity in recent years.

Living Without Electricity

But not without gasoline, even though they don’t drive a car. However, the Amish rely on the same fuel we use in our automobiles, to power their tractors, or diesel to power their tools. Home heat and home industries rely on portable generators powered by diesel, propane or gasoline. Thus the Amish are also feeling the pinch with higher prices of these commodities.

In addition, the cost of stains, finishes and lumber has increased. Their suppliers have higher expenses, which they pass on to Amish Furniture buyers, and the Amish manufacturers in turn have to increase their prices to cover their costs.

No one is immune to the economic situation including the Amish.
