You know enough about Amish furniture to know that you want it in your home, but what else do you know about it? One of the biggest problems that people have when they set out to buy Amish furniture is being able to tell real from fake – it’s a serious problem and the last thing you want it to spend a lot of money on something that is utterly worthless. Today we’re going to talk a bit about the best Amish furniture and most importantly, how to tell the fake from the real. You only want the best in your home, and we’re going to tell you how to get it.
Understanding Amish Furniture – What’s So Special About It?
The first thing you need to know is that Amish furniture is hand made. It is a labor of love and it is made with techniques that have been passed down through the generations by hard working, loving people. Something important to keep in mind regarding Amish furniture for sale is that different companies are owned by different families, meaning you will have entirely different designs and different ‘signatures’ for different companies. This doesn’t make one piece less valuable than another; in fact the unique nature of these pieces is what makes them so valuable, apart from their ability to last through the generations.
When you find Amish furniture for sale you’re doing much more than buying a chair or a table, you’re buying a highly durable piece of furniture that can last for decades. Honestly, you could buy a table that serves you well for the rest of your life and is then passed down to your children, their grandchildren, and so on. Naturally nothing we buy lasts forever, but Amish furniture tends to be as close as you can come to it. Quite frankly, modern furniture doesn’t even come close, and if you want to be honest about it, it’s typically designed to fall apart pretty quickly so that you find yourself walking back to the big box store looking for your next piece of household furniture. Amish furniture is the way to go, but how do you tell the real from the fake?
Telling the Difference
Solid Wood – The majority of Amish furniture is made using solid wood, so upon inspection, see if you can find anything that looks like plywood or even particle board. If you don’t know what particle board is, take a look at any of the products from a big box store – you’re certainly going to find something there. In addition to that, Amish furniture is often quarter sawn or plain sawn with kiln-drying. Older, more reliable methods are employed in the creation of Amish furniture, so remember that when you are getting ready to make a purchase.
- Hand-Built – Amish furniture is almost exclusively hand built, which means sanding and varnishing that creates a flawless finish. This is part of the allure of Amish furniture; it’s not created by a cold machine and it’s not the product of a template – every piece is unique and every piece is ready to stand the test of time.
