The wife and I went looking for a new dining room table the other day and all we could find was what seemed like cheap made furniture. It’s hard to describe but the tables don’t even feel like real wood. It got me thinking about maybe trying some Amish made furniture. I was just wondering if anyone has had them make a nice dining room table or any nice furniture of the such.

We bought one a few years ago from Vicki’s Amish Furniture in Millbrook, AL.

We have been exceptionally happy with it.

Check out Ethridge Tennessee Amish google it. We went a few back durning the fall. We rode back roads and hit a few stores. They sell and make custom furniture. You can get all kind of vegetables, cookies, cakes. They’re more up to date than you would think. They have websites. Some have limited electricity.

Wife and I ran into the same problem. We lean to Modern furniture and the pickings in Dothan and Enterprise were bleak. Ended up finding a real furniture maker locally who specializes in Sinker and specialty slabs who agreed to build us one to our design. The guys work is incredible and most it is very complex super high dollar stuff for rich folk but he hooked us up. Only downside is eating off a card table for 6 months

Name, contact info, website?

ancient wood creations
Owner is Steve Averett he is on Facebook and I think has a web site

Not far from me. On my list to go to. I hear the BBQ is good too.

Same here. Have bought a bedroom set and living room set of Amish stuff. Excellent quality and only about 1/3 more cost than the cheap mass produced crap.

I think these are the folks who build coffins. Beautiful and they’re around $1k

On my bucket list too. I need some leather goods.

Andrew Zook , Amish community, Ethridge , TN is who you want to see. Master furniture maker , specializing in dining room sets. Also makes the finest rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs you'll ever see.

Who/where? Thanks

Thanks guys for all the help.

I might ride to Ethridge tomorrow if the urge strikes me.

Andrew Zook makes Turkey calls too.

Charles Phillips Antiques in Theodore. They build some nice solid wood furniture in-house. They have a website. Everything we’ve bought from there has been well built and affordable for the quality.

Albert Zook does bee hives. I think the Zooks also own the sawmill.

Bought my front porch furniture from a guy in Ethridge, don’t buy the from the store along the highway make sure you go to the houses in the community. Pretty cool to see how they live as well.

My wife and I spent 3 days in Ethridge back in May. We went to MANY of the Amish shops/homes. We have a guy there named Peter Hostetler, that is building us a custom California King platform bed. He is also building me a solid oak ammo storage cabinet that I designed myself. Both pieces are supposed to be completed by the end of September. Incredible craftsmanship and high quality work.
