With the emphasis on being environmentally conscious and the adverse economy, the Amish presented and educated retailers about their products at the Hardwood Furniture Builders’ Guild in Walnut Creek, OH.
Hopewood (occasional tables: end tables, coffee tables, sofa tables) added a wedge shape end table. Occasional tables do more than hold lamps, magazines or coffee mugs. Often they serve as a regular dining surface for family movie night, a sturdy place for homework and a prop for laptops. Hopewood added poplar to its large selection of woods.
A brief explanation of foam used in sofas and chairs by Country View Woodworking and Quality Fabrications: HR, high resiliency/density, in a range of 2.2.5 in foam standards. It bounces back better, slower to dry out over time versus conventional foam. 2.2-2.5 is standard usage among furniture manufacturers.
