How Amish Furniture is Made The Amish Furniture Podcast

Buying Amish furniture is very different from buying furniture in a big box store. There’s a lot more involved in the building of the furniture, and customers are offered a lot more options than what you’d find in store. Exactly how does it work? What goes into the building of Amish furniture that makes it so special? That’s what we’re covering on today’s episode:  How Amish Furniture is Made.

When you've decided on your options and finally place your order, that's when the Building Process begins! Typically when you buy Amish furniture online it not pre-fabricated and sitting in a warehouse waiting for your order. It’s made when you order and that’s why you will see countless numbers of options to choose from for one piece of furniture. Check out the Amish Ziglar Pedestal Dining Table for just one example: https://www.dutchcrafters.com/Amish-Ziglar-Dining-Table/p/53226.

Once you've placed your order, it's in the woodworkers' hands as they process your order, begin crafting your furniture pieces, assemble the furniture, finish it, and hand it off for delivery! It can feel like a long wait, but considering all that goes into a new piece of custom, solid wood furniture, it's impressive that they get it done as quickly as they do!
