Top 3 Reasons to Choose an Amish Bedroom Set
Investing in a complete solid wood bedroom set is a large purchase for your home. Here are 3 reasons to choose an Amish bedroom furniture set.
-
Amish made bedroom sets are completely customizable. Designing your own perfect, custom version is a wonderful reason to choose an Amish bedroom set. Start with a style you like and make it your own. Choose the wood and color, as well as the size and function of all items.
-
Amish bedroom furniture sets are real wood. Our Amish craftsmen offer American hardwoods like Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Elm, and Red or White Oak wood. These wood options are available on all bedroom sets. Real wood bedroom furniture means no veneers or engineered wood, ever.
- Amish furniture bedroom sets are American made. Shopping for Amish bedroom furniture is supporting our craftsmen, based in Ohio's Amish Country. Amish artisans from Ohio build each piece of bedroom furniture from scratch. This includes beds, dressers, chest of drawers, armoires, nightstands, and even our high-quality mattresses.
Why is Solid Wood Bedroom Furniture Better Than Veneer Furniture?
Choosing solid wood for your bedroom furniture brings several important benefits. Solid wood furniture is just that, solid wood. That means that if you bump the dresser when you move to a new home, you may notice a small dent in the solid wood. The furniture is still strong and solid, the dent will not get worse with normal wear and tear.
Veneer furniture often looks good when it is brand new. However, as soon as that thin layer of wood receives a dent or scratches, the veneer peels away. Once that veneer peels, it is often difficult to repair.
Start by Choosing Your Amish Bed Frame Style
Start creating your bedroom set by choosing a bed style. Amish bed frames include traditional, wood panel headboards and elaborate sleigh beds. Modern wood bed styles incorporate, sleek, mid-century lines and minimalist design. Classic farmhouse beds like the Savannah and Belmont beds display warm wood tones with beloved farmhouse colors.
Our collection of solid wood beds come in all standard bed sizes, including King, California King-, Queen-, Full-, and Twin-size bed.
All Amish beds are available with a variety of standard options. Choose the height of your headboard and footboard. Request a headboard only for small bedrooms or to attach to your adjustable bed base.
Any bed style is available with or without a platform storage drawer base. We offer three different layouts for a storage base that pairs with any headboard style.
After choosing a bed style, find your favorite solid wood furniture style. We display beds with popular dresser and nightstand styles. That is only a starting point. All beds easily mix and match with multiple dressers and armoires when choosing a matching wood and finish.
Bedroom Furniture Options
Now that you have chosen the best Amish bed for your bedroom and a style for the set, think about each piece individually. Measure the wall where you will place the dresser, the armoire and the chests. Take account for windows and doors, ceiling height, and overall size of your space.
Pro tip: Mark the space required on the floor with painters' tape for each furniture item. Live with the tape on the floor for a few days to walk around the space. This helps ensure that you choose the correct sizes for your bedroom furniture items.
Our dressers are available in several popular sizes and layouts as a starting point. Standard dressers have a landscape layout, wider than tall. Common dresser widths range from 56-72 inches wide, depending on the style.
All dressers are available in two different heights. Low dressers typically feature a 7-drawer layout and are approximately 35" high. Tall dressers include an extra row of drawers at the bottom. Tall dressers are usually around 42-45 inches tall with a 9-drawer layout.
Dressers are available with the option of adding a matching mirror. Adding a mirror to your dresser adds height, often needed in large bedrooms with high ceilings. Mirrors also reflect light, making a small space seem larger.
Remove the mirror of the dresser to use as a media cabinet instead. Either wall mount the TV in your bedroom or simply set on top of the dresser as a TV stand.
Chests, armoires and chiffoniers are taller bedroom furniture pieces. Add storage vertically rather than occupying valuable floor space.
Solid wood nightstands are available in all bedroom set styles. We often display several layouts. Classic layouts include a 3-drawer nightstand, nightstand with doors, or a simple bedside table with an open shelf. Request additional features on nightstands like hidden storage for handguns or valuable jewelry items.
Choosing the Best Wood for Your Amish Bedroom Set
Each wood type offered in our bedroom collections is a strong American hardwood. We never use soft woods like Pine, even for white painted bedroom furniture. The hardness of the wood ranges from Maple and Cherry wood, rated around 950 on the Janka scale to Hickory wood at 1820.
Choosing the best wood type is about understanding the texture of the wood grain and your personal preference. Oak and Hickory wood have a prominent, rustic grain texture with much color variation. Cherry and Maple wood have a smooth, subtle grain texture with minimal color variation.
Understanding wood options also includes the grade of the lumber. Wood options like Walnut, Cherry Hickory and White Oak are available as select grade lumber or rustic grade. Rustic grade wood will include small knots, filled in with epoxy to create a smooth finish. Rustic grade is an affordable choice with less waste in manufacturing.
Select grade wood will typically have less color variation and a higher price tag. Exact prices and characteristics vary by wood type.
All wood types include a variety of stain or paint colors. Browse our color options online to compare grain textures and natural wood tones when choosing your bedroom furniture.
Contact our team at Upstate Amish Furniture with any questions you may have about the various wood types. We are happy to mail you wood samples to compare at home and choose your final stain color.
Amish Bedroom Furniture Construction Details
Amish made bedroom furniture is well known for being a high-quality, wooden bedroom furniture option. All drawers in the bedroom furniture include solid wood, dovetailed drawer boxes. This durable, dovetailed joint is at the front and back of each drawer, creating the strongest drawer possible.
Our drawer slides are another sign of quality craftsmanship. We use a full-extension drawer slide that opens easily to allow access to the full depth of the drawer. The ball-bearing slides glide smoothly and quietly. Choose from the standard, side-mounted drawer slide or upgrade to soft closing drawer slides.
The finish on Amish bedroom sets is a catalyzed conversion varnish. This durable finish is waterproof, guaranteed not to leave water rings from leaving a glass setting on your nightstand. The finish is also heat resistant and resistant to yellowing and fading with UV exposure.
