Sarasota, Fla. – DutchCrafters, the leading retailer of Amish furniture at www.dutchcrafters.com, has been named a Top 5 Dealer by Urban Barnwood Furniture two years in a row, for 2021 and 2022. Jonathan Fell, sales manager with Urban Barnwood Furniture, traveled from Ohio to the DutchCrafters Sarasota Showroom to present the Top 5 Award, along with a gift, to Vice President Linse Miller. Alpharetta showroom staff also took part in the award presentation online.

“We are honored to receive this Top 5 Dealer award,” said Miller. “Customers notice the quality of Urban Barnwood Furniture, and we enjoy the trusted partnership we share.”     

The annual Top Dealer awards are based on aggregate revenues from the sale of Urban Barnwood Furniture, located in the heart of Amish country in rural Ohio. The woodshop partners with more than 230 dealers, including DutchCrafters Amish Furniture.

In alignment with increasing customer preferences for sustainable furniture that helps the environment, reclaimed barnwood furniture represents a strong upward trend in the furniture market. The salvaged barnwood is precisely processed, kiln dried and handcrafted with pride by Amish artisans in the woodshop. The result is handsome, high-quality furniture that is environmentally friendly and built to last.

“Customers are drawn to Urban Barnwood Furniture’s character, uniqueness, history, and custom options, as well as our six- to seven-week lead times,” said Fell. “What Urban Barnwood looks for in partnering with dealers is people who are passionate about selling heirloom-quality American-made furniture and understand the differences in the quality of the furniture we build. And long-term relationships are important.”
