Heavy-gauge spring support: Uses heavy-gauge springs engineered for consistent, sag-free support over years of daily use.
Handcrafted in Indiana: Proudly handcrafted by skilled artisans in Berne, Indiana, USA, with attention to detail in every stitch and seam.

One of the most exciting aspects of ordering our living room furniture is the extensive customization available. Our in-store design consultants will guide you through every selection to create the perfect recliner for your space and style.
Choose from hundreds of durable performance fabrics and supple top-grain leathers to match your existing décor. You're welcome to bring in samples from your home — paint swatches, fabric remnants, or photos — to coordinate perfectly with your space. Seeing and feeling the materials in person helps you make a confident choice you'll love for years.
Select the reclining mechanism that fits your lifestyle. Opt for a smooth manual recline for a classic experience, or choose an effortless power motion mechanism with the touch of a button. You can also add functionality with optional swivel, rocker, or glider bases for versatile comfort. Power models even include convenient, built-in USB charging ports to keep your devices within reach.
The Amish Craftsman offers financing through Wells Fargo, with approved credit, making it easy to bring home the furniture you love. Enjoy convenient monthly payments to fit your budget, an open line of credit for future purchases, quick credit decisions, and easy-to-use online account management and bill payment options.

We’ve got a number of beautiful, yet functional, recliners to choose from. Function means options such as cushion firmness, power, press back, swivel glider, adjustable power headrests, and battery back up. Stylish means, hundreds of leathers and thousands of fabrics, leg choices (high leg, turned leg or no leg), and finishes such as stains and nail heads, tufted, tight, or bustled backs, big and tall or petite frames, and everything in between.
We even have “big and tall” recliner options. We also offer reclining sectionals, sofas and loveseats to make every seat in the house as comfortable as possible! Many of our recliners have a wall-hugging mechanism which helps reduce the amount of space your recliners needs. Others are built using a lay flat mechanism which allows for maximum reclining.
