Why are Handcrafted Amish Dining Tables so Great? ...

Amish woodworkers may be the best known for their handcrafted dining tables.

Our dining tables are handcrafted of solid wood, through and through. No veneers or particleboards are used on any of these solid wood dining tables. They are individually handcrafted and made to order in an Amish woodworking shop, not built on an assembly line or in a factory.

The dining table is a central place in the life and faith of the Amish. Gathering around the table, blessing the food, sharing a meal together, talking and telling stories - these are the experiences that take place around these handcrafted masterpieces. It is this type of experience that the Amish hope you will also enjoy. Amish dining tables are built with the utmost care and integrity.

Our dining tables have a number of design features that showcase our Amish craftsmen's deep understanding of wood and furniture making. All of our dining tables have a solid one-inch-thick table top for durability as well as aesthetics. They also include solid wood steam bent aprons with a slight gap inserted where the extensions fit to allow room for the natural contraction and expansion of solid wood. A number of our dining tables have apron gap covers to disguise the gap. Generally, our Amish woodworkers use one of two assembly designs on table legs: 1) the legs are inserted into the table frame with a mortise and tenon joint or 2) the legs are bolted to a v-groove corner block that is glued and screwed in place. Both styles provide extreme sturdiness, strength and durability.

Along with their solid design and heirloom quality manufacturing, our Amish dining tables are available in many styles and sizes. We offer leg, pedestal and trestle tables. We have elegant Queen Anne tables, casual farm tables and sleek Mission and Shaker tables, among many other styles. Our wide range of sizes offers options for those with tight spaces - very difficult to find in this age of over-sized furniture - as well as those preparing for large parties or family gatherings. Nearly all of our tables are available with extensions, some with up to 20 extensions for maximum versatility.

Furthermore, Our Amish woodworkers choose the appropriate extension slides for the type of table to ensure ease in opening the table along with the proper durability. Most of our leg tables have wooden slides and our pedestal tables have gear slides. Many of the gear slides are equalizers, which allow the table to be opened when just pulling on one end, providing plenty of room for even large families to gather. This convenient function requires only one person to prepare the table with additional space and insert the extensions.

In addition to wood type, finish, size, and style, our dining tables generally come with additional options such as the table top edge style that allow you to personalize your table. Many of our tables are signed upon request, showcasing the individuality that comes with each table.

Designing for Spring

Spring is here, which means that many people will be cleaning out old closets and restructuring their living, dining and bedrooms. With these new beginnings often comes the purchasing of brand new furniture.

One of the most important rooms in a home is the dining room. It's the main space where people eat, converse, and where a family gathers together to talk about their day.

Because a dining room is so important, the furniture one picks for this space is vital. Those who are looking to add new pieces to their dining rooms should consider investing in Amish furniture.

Amish tables and chairs are made of solid wood and handcrafted by the Amish themselves, who are some of the hardest working furniture crafters in the world. These items are made from oak, cherry, walnut, maple and hickory, which means they are sturdy, reliable and always beautiful pieces of wood.

Family meals are the center of many memories, and a hand-crafted Amish dining room table provides the perfect, reliable surface on which to host those events. Amish furniture is an investment that lasts a lifetime.

While many American furniture makers lose way to foreign imports, the Amish are thriving as skilled furniture craftsmen in places like Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Holmes County, Ohio; and Shipshewana, Indiana. The Amish have earned a well-deserved reputation for high quality and value, practicing their art in places where American furniture has been made for generations. It is this qualitative difference that is evident in our Amish furniture.
