Thanks Much for stopping by,Edit ArticleHow to Buy Amish Furniture There are Amish communities still thriving in the United States, especially in rural areas of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The Amish live simple and traditional lives free from modern technology. Amish furniture is often purchased for its durability and high quality of craftsmanship. Because Amish communities do not use any electricity, making furniture is not easy or convenient. It takes time, patience and an extreme attention to detail. Buy Amish furniture by deciding what type of piece you want, then visiting Amish areas, finding retailers who provide Amish furniture and shopping online. Choose the type of wood you prefer.
Most Amish furniture is made from oak, cherry, hickory, walnut and maple. Think about whether you want a stain on your furniture. Look at samples, because each stain will look different on select woods. Shop with swatches or samples of what you are trying to match. For example, if you are trying to match an Amish kitchen table to the cabinets you already have, bring a sample of the wood used to make your cabinets, or the stain that was used to cover them. Plan your space wisely. Whether you are buying a dining room table, a complete bedroom set or a simple rocking chair, Amish furniture is often larger than what you would find in other furniture lines. Measure the space you have available before you buy your furniture. You can also mark space on your floors with masking tape to illustrate where your Amish furniture will fit. Visit Amish craftsmen and stores. There are communities of Amish people in places such as Pennsylvania and Ohio. While you may not get access to an Amish farm, you can visit furniture stores that buy pieces from the Amish locally.
Check for hours of operation before you go. Most Amish stores will be closed on Sunday and at night. Buy furniture from a retailer in your area that orders and sells Amish pieces. Purchase Amish furniture online. There are a number of online retailers that will allow you to shop for and order Amish furniture. Budget for delivery and shipping. Some Amish retailers will use a specific hauling company to deliver your furniture, which might increase your costs. Expect to wait between 12 and 16 weeks for your Amish furniture when you order online. This will allow for time to construct, stain and prepare the furniture before it is delivered to you. Ask about return policies. Have your Amish furniture custom made. Verify the authenticity of your Amish furniture before you buy. It should be made from solid wood, crafted by hand and often includes a signature or a date carved into the wood. Remember that your Amish furniture is an investment. It might be more expensive than other furniture, but it will last you for generations.
Ikea is great, but no one would mistake Ikea furniture for the kind of high quality and longevity you would get from spending a little more money on solid wood or a well-crafted piece. The trick, however, is how to know you're looking at quality wooden furniture when it's staring you in the face. Thankfully, the folks at Get Rich Slowly have a great guide so you'll know a good piece from a bad one, regardless of the price tag. Karawynn Long, who contributed the piece, points out that you have to look for two big things in your wooden furniture: composition and construction. For example, look for joint construction, and if there's glue involved, you shouldn't see it in the construction. Structurally, look for solid wood or sturdy plywood, as opposed to pressboard. Don't be fooled by terms like "hardwood" and "softwood," which have more to do with the type of tree the wood comes from than the type of construction.The post goes on to describe what to look for in specific pieces like drawers and chairs, and then what to look for in upholstered furniture like couches or easy chairs.
