Amish Direct Furniture is proud to be a part of tonight’s show at 8 pm on ABC.

As business owners we feel that helping those in need in our community is the only right thing to do. When ever we have large sales, like our tent sale in september we always have something going on for some sort of charity. This year we have made donations to the humane society and extreme makeover home edition. Both are very worthy causes that really do a tremendous job with their work.

We commend all that feel charity is important and all that have made it their lifes work.

Free Plans For Building Mission Furniture

Author: Jason, October 14, 2008

We have finally been able to track down a whole bunch of mission furniture plans.  So many in fact that there are 3 pdf’s that you can download and use. These plans are free. We will also be adding them to out site one by one that way you can get an idea of the way the plans are laid out.

The plans are definitely not for the beginner. They will require some knowledge of basic woodworking principles but they are not hard to follow at all. In the pdf’s you’ll find plans and material lists for morris chairs, writing desks, rockers, dining chairs and all kinds of other mission furniture from bookcases to lamps.

All the plans follow the construction techniques and standards of the Arts and Crafts movement making them very strong and assuming you choose your wood properly and put everything together right the furniture is sure to last you a lifetime.

Upholstered Furniture With Solid Hardwood Frames

Author: Jason, October 11, 2008

Finally they have arrived! We are now very happy to carry a full line of upholstered furniture with solid hard wood frames!! The frames are built by the Amish in Ohio and upholstered in eastern Ohio.

There is a bunch of different fabrics available and it typically take 6 to 10 weeks to get one once you order it. This really helps complete our showroom and allows us to offer literally all the furniture you could need for your home. The best part is it’s all made in America and solid wood.

The frames are all solid hard wood glued and doweled together which is attached to a metal base frame that sits on the floor. The metal frame has been found to quite a bit more durable when it comes to moving it around.

Change to our furniture delivery

Author: Jason, October 10, 2008

Our regular driver recently had surgery. His recovery isn’t going well. Yesterday he called me and said that he couldn’t make it because he isn’t even off of crutches yet. After a lot of calls and scrambling around we managed to find someone else to bring the furniture up on the 15th instead. This is tentative but we should be back on our original schedule.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Duane and I we really hope things get better soon.

Update to out October delivery schedule to our store

Author: Jason, September 30, 2008

Initially our delivery truck from indiana was scheduled to arrive on the 15th. This has now been changed to the tuesday the 14th. More than likely it will arrive early in the day so we should have time to inspect everything and start calling people to pick up their fruniture or schedule you home deliveries.
