One of the many benefits of purchasing furniture made in America is the quality of the product, and effort that is put into crafting each piece, ensuring style and durability.

In the Amish country of Ohio, hard-working Amish craftsmen and women manufacture furniture starting with high quality solid wood and some of the industry’s most reliable techniques.

When producing cabinets and chests that require drawers, the folks in Ohio use a method called “dovetailing,” one that has been utilized since Ancient Egypt, to fasten the drawers together. This technique requires no mechanical fasteners, only a bit of cured glue and a few pins, allowing for a more natural aesthetic, as well as guaranteed long-lasting sturdiness.

Each piece of wood used to complete the drawers comes from the same solid wood species and the drawers are sanded, colored, sealed, and finished on both the inside and out, creating an all-around cohesive appearance.

So when making the crucial decision to purchase furniture, make sure to go with a solid wood product that is made with pride right here in America!
