Amish furniture is marketed as being built by the Amish. You can buy it in specialty stores, stores that are operated by someone of the Amish community, or in furniture stores that buy directly from Amish manufacturers. You can also have pieces built to your specifications by smaller furniture businesses, usually located right on a farm.
In general, Amish furniture is built from solid wood and won’t have veneers or use particle board. These pieces are truly handmade and made in America.
Amish furniture comes in a variety of styles and for almost every room in the house. You can find complete Amish bedroom sets, Amish dining room sets, or if you are just looking for a chair to relax in you will find rockers, and even Amish glider rockers.
Although most Amish pieces will be an all wood construction, there are exceptions. If you are looking for a chair with cushions, look no further than an Amish glider or an Amish Morris chair. Both of these styles of chairs will have cushions and offer comfortable seating for any room in your home. If you are unfamiliar with a Morris chair, it is an early version of a recliner. The back reclines and the arm rests are relatively high. There is no foot rest. This kind of chair would be used with a foot stool or ottoman.
