Why Handcrafted Furniture Requires Special Care

Handcrafted furniture is a reflection of skilled artistry and traditional craftsmanship, requiring specialized care to preserve its unique beauty and structural integrity. At Jake’s Amish Furniture, each piece is thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted from solid hardwood, making it an investment meant to last for generations. However, the natural characteristics of wood and handcrafted construction demand careful attention to ensure longevity.

Regular dusting with our dampened UltimateCloth prevents dust buildup, which can scratch the surface over time. For dirtier furniture, use a wetter UltimateCloth followed by immediate drying with a drier UltimateCloth.

Maintaining consistent indoor humidity levels between 50% and 60% prevents warping, cracking, and joint gaps. Use a cool air moisturizer during dry months and a dehumidifier in humid seasons. Avoid placing furniture near heating vents or in direct sunlight to protect it from heat and UV damage. With thoughtful care and maintenance, your handcrafted furniture from Jake’s Amish Furniture will remain a cherished part of your home for generations.

I think this is my second time posting an online review in a decade. I had an honestly genuine experience picking up a bookcase from here today with Jake, Michaele, and the rest of the staff!

The storefront has a healthy amount of IN-STOCK furniture that you can take away the same day. Most places around have a showroom-only with anywhere from a 14 week to 9 month wait time on pieces; I know that's the standard for hand-made furniture, but it deserves special mention that you can pick up something same-day here.

Jake himself is very pleasant and informed. I had an enlightening conversation with him while browsing the rest of the shop.

When I need more furniture in the future, I will return here.
The quality of Amish furniture is unmatched in the world. Jake's has an excellent selection at good prices. They take extra pride in their work. We all should be investing in American made furniture from Amish country. Real wood rather than sawdust and glue panels from China.

Have bought furniture here since Jake took over. Have completely furnished a living room and family room with couches, love seats, bookcases, a reclining chair, end tables and a coffee table to say nothing of a number of small accent pieces. The craftsmanship of all the pieces is outstanding. Both Jake and Michelle offer personalized service and helped us pick out the material we wanted to cover the couches and chairs. Since we live in Pittsburgh and have to drive nearly three hours to get to the store, and since we return repeatedly to buy things, you know how satisfied we are!!

Ordered two pieces of custom furniture recently. Worked with Jake to design every last detail. They turned out beautifully!

And because they were custom-made, they fit perfectly and were stained to match our existing woodwork exactly.

The materials, fit, finish, and craftsmanship of the products we received are top-notch.

We highly recommend and I'm sure we'll be back in the future!
