When looking to furnish your bedroom, Amish bedroom furniture is a timeless investment. If you’re not yet ready to take our word for it, we explain why we feel Amish built bedroom furniture is always a good choice throughout this blog. But before we share our top reasons for investing in Amish made bedroom furniture, let’s discuss how to buy bedroom furniture (or what to consider when buying bedroom furniture) first.

As bedroom furniture is an investment and you’ll likely have your bedroom furniture for years, you’ll want to consider both the style and practicality of the furniture. Many people opt for pieces of large furniture that are classic and easily work with changing tastes so your furniture can blend well with different trends and styles over the years. As for practicality, do you need furniture that doubles as storage? If so, you’ll want to decide which pieces of furniture need to double as storage. Custom made furniture may be something you want to consider.

What Makes Amish Made Bedroom Furniture So Good?

There are many different things that make Amish made bedroom furniture so good, including craftsmanship, sustainability, durability, customization, and that it’s locally made. Before we focus on each of these in more detail below, let’s talk about the main high quality product used in Amish built bedroom furniture – solid hardwood.

The best wood species for furniture are different types of solid hardwood. The 3 most common wood species used to make Amish bedroom furniture are brown maple, oak, and cherry, though there are others you can choose from depending on the color and grain you want in your furniture.

Brown Maple is a durable hardwood that comes in many grain patterns, allowing it to fit the style of many homes. Oak can come in both red oak and white oak. Red oak is known as the gold standard of hardwood furniture, while white oak has a beautiful grain that can be highlighted based on how the logs are cut. Cherry is known for its smooth, almost glass-like feel and is beautiful when finished with darker stains or in natural finishes.

Top 5 Reasons to Buy Amish Made Bedroom Furniture

1. Craftsmanship

Timeless techniques, passed down from generation to generation, are used to make Amish made furniture. These techniques create long-lasting quality and unique, yet classic, designs. The joints of the furniture are fitted together without adhesives or binders, creating a cleaner look to the furniture while also providing stability.

Amish bedroom furniture is made with dedication to detail. Though there is minimal decoration, great attention is paid to the grain and texture of the wood. Amish techniques allow these aspects of your furniture to be highlighted rather than overpowered by more modern decorations and details.

2. Sustainability

Amish bedroom furniture is a sustainable product not only because of its high quality material but also because of the way it’s produced. Amish made bedroom furniture is created using solid hardwood that is locally sourced, meaning a minimized carbon footprint. Unlike mass-produced furniture, you will not find particleboard, veneers, or other low-quality materials in Amish built bedroom furniture.

Each piece of Amish furniture is unique as it is crafted by hand without the use of programmed machinery. This not only minimizes the amount of electrical energy needed to craft Amish made bedroom furniture, but also eliminates the need for mass production resources or storage. Additionally, since Amish made furniture is made completely of wood, it is biodegradable, and lumber scraps are repurposed to ensure little to no waste. 

3. Durability

Because of the high quality materials Amish bedroom furniture is made from, as well as the techniques used to create it, these pieces can be passed from generation to generation when properly cared for. Mortise-and-tenon connections and dovetail joints create pieces that remain sturdy despite every day use.

As each piece of furniture is handmade, ample time is provided to notice and correct any flaws in the wood. Plus, all Amish built bedroom furniture is crafted using solid hardwood. Solid hardwood is not only long-lasting, but it retains its value over time.

4. Customization

Each piece of Amish made bedroom furniture is custom made. Because each piece is custom made, these craftsmen have ample knowledge on how to bring your vision to life, from varying dimensions to unique finishes. Choose from a variety of solid hardwood to create bedroom furniture with the type of grain and stain you want.

5. Local Production

Purchasing furniture that is locally made boosts both the local economy and community. Because of the Amish lifestyle, the furniture they make is often sold through regional distribution and transportation centers. This may seem like it would limit the availability of this product, but Amish settlements can be found across the country with large populations in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, and a few other areas.  Our Amish furniture at Room Concepts is made by local Amish communities in OH. 

Not to mention, we’ve worked with the Amish community for decades and have built lasting relationships with the Amish craftsmen. Because of this relationship, we know that your Amish bedroom furniture will be high quality and the prices can’t be beat.
