Add Amish-Crafted Heirloom Furniture to Your Home

With beautiful rolling farmland everywhere you look in Lancaster County, it's no surprise that agriculture is a vital part of the Amish way of life. But these Plain People, as they are sometimes called, are skilled in a host of other trades as well, including woodworking and furniture-making. In fact, Amish-crafted furniture is highly sought after for its unparalleled quality and superior craftsmanship.

Why invest in Amish furniture? For starters, it's constructed from solid hardwoods such as maple, cherry and oak – no veneers or particle board will ever be found. Plus, Amish builders take great pride in their work, which is reflected in the beauty, detail and durability of each carefully crafted piece. Whether you're looking for a new dining set, bedroom furniture or accent tables, you'll find numerous furniture stores in Lancaster County that work with local Amish craftsmen to provide customers with solid wood furniture that lasts for generations.
