You\u2019re paying for quality, longevity, and ethical craftsmanship.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Amish furniture is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Solid wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handcrafted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customizable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/6-reasons-american-made-furniture\/\">Made in America<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-faq-block\"><div class=\"rank-math-faq-item\"><h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Why Does Solid Wood Furniture Cost More? <\/h3><div class=\"rank-math-answer\">In addition to its durability, natural solid wood is beautiful to see, whether unfinished or stained to perfection. When furniture is made with solid wood, it stands out. It will last longer&#8211;much longer than particle board, oriented strand board, or whatever kind of \u201cenhanced\u201d wood product you\u2019ll find in big box stores that\u2019s not real wood. Amish furniture is made with only premium quality solid wood.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Colonial-Pencil-Post-Bed\/p\/2809\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Colonial-Pencil-Post-Bed_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Colonial Pencil Post Bed\" class=\"wp-image-15475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Colonial-Pencil-Post-Bed_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Colonial-Pencil-Post-Bed_400_0-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Colonial-Pencil-Post-Bed\/p\/2809\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amish Colonial Pencil Post Bed<\/a>, available in solid maple, oak or cherry wood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h\">Handcrafted Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crafting furniture by hand is a significant time investment. While Amish woodshops incorporate machinery to refine the furniture further, a woodworker still handles every piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is cut, sculpted, inspected, and refined, which, of course, takes time. The techniques used in the building of Amish furniture are not hurried. They have been passed down for generations and don\u2019t utilize shortcuts like mass-produced furniture does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"m\">Mortise and Tenon Joinery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of these tried and proper techniques is mortise and tenon joinery. This strong, secure joint fits the tenon into the mortise, creating strong, supportive connections. You\u2019ll find dovetailed joints in the drawers of Amish furniture that create a stronger joint capable of enduring the demands put on the drawer over the years of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heirloom-quality\">Heirloom Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This fine craftsmanship will also be reflected in the price, but the furniture&#8217;s performance and the length of time it will stay in your family will pay you back over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"arts-and-crafts-movement-in-late-1800-s\">Arts and Crafts Movement in the Late 1800s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arts and Crafts movement, which spanned the late 1800s and early 1900s, stressed the importance of the techniques used to make furniture and celebrated the craftsman who invested time in its creation. The movement focused on investing in quality and resisted the mass production of factories. Amish furniture embraces this concept to this day, and they take the time to build quality furniture that both craftsman and owner can take pride in.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set\/p\/3031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pid_3031-Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-with-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set-80-190x190.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Deluxe-Bookcase-Raised-Panel-Sides-3-Piece-Set\/p\/3031\">Amish Deluxe Bookcase with Raised Panel Sides &#8211; 3 Piece Set<\/a> is a luxurious wood bookcase built to perform and impress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c\">Custom Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many don\u2019t realize how customizable Amish furniture is. &#8220;Customizable&#8221; and &#8220;custom&#8221; are layers that open up a world of possibility to the furniture consumer. Customized furniture means you can select options to make Amish furniture match your d\u00e9cor and fit your needs by selecting things like wood type, stain color, hardware, table extensions, and so on. Custom furniture means you can contribute to a design to create something that fits your vision with unique dimensions and additions. Both mean you can have solid wood furniture that\u2019s built by hand your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These factors propel Amish-made furniture to a higher price category, yes. <\/strong>The nice thing about Amish furniture\u2019s higher price is that concrete reasons exist behind it. Compared to big box furniture, where you\u2019re just paying extra for a brand name, there are solid factors that comprise the price of Amish furniture, factors that speak to the integrity and care with which it is built.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Cordell-Glider-Recliner-with-Swivel\/p\/58361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Hoosier-Glider-Recliner-with-Swivel_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Hoosier Glider Recliner with Swivel\" class=\"wp-image-15491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Hoosier-Glider-Recliner-with-Swivel_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Hoosier-Glider-Recliner-with-Swivel_400_0-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Cordell-Glider-Recliner-with-Swivel\/p\/58361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hoosier Glider Recliner with Swivel<\/a> is available in a variety of upholstery options.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"things-that-affect-the-cost-of-amish-furniture\">Things That Affect the Cost of Amish Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type of wood: Walnut wood costs more than oak, as walnut is less readily available. Walnut trees also don\u2019t grow as large as cherry trees, so there\u2019s less available lumber per tree than other hardwoods. Wood types and their characteristics vary, which will factor into Amish furniture&#8217;s price. You can learn more about wood types and their costs in our Amish Furniture <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/learningcenter.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Center<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Size of furniture: Larger pieces of Amish furniture will cost more. They will take longer and require more material than a smaller piece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customizations: Adjusting dimensions, adding features, and creating a vision from scratch will increase the price of your furniture. Custom furniture offers the opportunity to go beyond what&#8217;s pictured, and at DutchCrafters, we even encourage it. (Note: At DutchCrafters, several customizations are standard and already included in the base price.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breadboard-end-table-extension_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Breadboard end table extension\" class=\"wp-image-15498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breadboard-end-table-extension_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breadboard-end-table-extension_400_0-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stow leaf style table extensions are available for the plank farm table, they attach at the ends of the table.

To put it directly, when you shop at a big box store for furniture, you will find lower prices and quick delivery, but it will come at a cost. There are no options to customize the furniture for your home. It will break down or wear down in a much shorter period than Amish furniture. It damages our environment when tossed out and ends up in a landfill. And when you factor these things in with the cost you\u2019ll incur to replace it, is it a better deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve heard the old saying \u201cyou get what you pay for,\u201d right? Well, when it comes to the price of Amish furniture, we disagree. You get what you pay for <em>and more<\/em> with Amish-made furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DutchCrafters has been in business since 2003, connecting families to solid wood Amish furniture. We visit the woodshops that we represent in Amish country and we\u2019ve learned what goes into the building of a single drawer, headboard, bed frame or dining table. The time and effort put into crafting your furniture cannot be matched by factories focusing on mass production and profit. Along with a beautiful, functional, sound piece of furniture that\u2019s customized to fit your personal needs and style, comes a piece of furniture that the builder makes with you in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Ethan-Leg-Table\/p\/48483\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Ethan-Leg-Table_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Ethan Leg Table\" class=\"wp-image-15505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Ethan-Leg-Table_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Amish-Ethan-Leg-Table_400_0-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Ethan-Leg-Table\/p\/48483\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amish Ethan Leg Table<\/a> is available in solid top or add up to 4 extensions with skirting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Customizing furniture is something you don\u2019t have to do alone.

And even with the breakdown over time to show the value, it may be a lot to lay out. But in the long run, Amish furniture could be much more affordable than you think.
