At that time, people paid furniture makers by the hour, and the intricate, English- and French-inspired designs required a lot of time to make, which meant only the wealthy could afford to commission it.

At The Amish Craftsman, we sell completely custom furniture–and that not only includes choosing the wood you’d like to use but also the stain.
In fact, we have A LOT of stain options–from light to dark and warm to cool tones–to choose from.

Honestly, that’s our favorite part of our job! We love pulling rooms together for our customers.
