Many Styles. One Standard.
 Amish isn't a style. It's a standard of excellence—desired by many and practiced by a very rare few. It's in the fine details of solid wood drawers, hand-finished, inside and out. It's in the skill of genuine Amish craftsmen, passed down from one generation to the next.

But most of all, it's in the beauty of America's richest hardwoods, hand-finished in a thousand different styles—from country pie safes that are the hallmark of Americana to contemporary designs that say, "Move over Herman Miller, the Amish are in the house."

Amish in the City.
The Simply Amish story begins in the 1970s, an era when bellbottoms and short shorts could be spotted just about everywhere. Except in good Amish homes where, ironically, the children were finally thanking their parents for not letting them dress like everybody else. Across the nation, a new age of convenience had arrived. Microwave ovens were becoming commonplace. And fashion-forward housewives were ordering the latest kitchen appliances in a wide range of deceptively tasteful sounding colors, like Avocado Green and Harvest Gold. But in a time of amazing change and progress, no one in the city could pick up a beautiful piece of Amish furniture without a long trip to the country. Until a couple of guys from the country came up with a novel idea.

Kevin Kauffman and his uncle, John Mast, were both raised Amish. They knew the quality of the furniture produced by their local community. But more importantly, they knew the men behind it. In 1979, Kevin joined his father in starting a small furniture shop on their family farm, and the foundations were laid for a company that would soon unite many exceptional artists in a whole far greater than the sum of its parts. Together, Kevin and John linked an entire network of traditional Amish woodshops with a modern distribution system. And furniture lovers everywhere rejoiced. Joined by John's brother, Butch, and a fourth partner, Kent Patterson, they soon found their stride, transforming an innovative furniture distribution system into a great American brand. And Simply Amish was born.

By handling orders and warehousing finished products, Simply Amish solved two problems. It gave the outside world instant access to the work of skilled Amish craftsmen, and it allowed the Amish to work undisturbed, making beautiful solid wood furniture. Built to order. And made to last.

The Tradition Continues.
Today, Simply Amish furniture is still made by authentic Amish craftsmen, working on more than 50 family farms scattered throughout the heartland of America. Most are small family shops with only four or five craftsmen, while some shops might employ as many as 30 skilled workers. But regardless of the size, tradition still dictates the construction of every design. Each piece of lumber is still cut, shaped, sanded and stained by seasoned hands, using a keen eye to eliminate any imperfections and bring out the natural beauty of rich maple, solid oak and other select hardwoods.

Almost a Little Too Perfect.
Six days a week, Simply Amish craftsmen make some of the most beautiful handmade furniture known to man. And seven days a week, they struggle to refrain from unseemly pride. Which isn't easy. Especially when you're constantly raising the bar. With beautiful works of art painstakingly shaped from select kiln-dried woods, gently finished in a three-step sanding process and carefully sealed with a varnish that's practically impervious to water, nail polish remover and alcohol. For the humble in spirit, perfection can be a curse as much as it is a blessing. But it's a burden we're prepared to live with. As long as our customers are happy.

The Hardest Part is Deciding.
If choice is not your thing, Simply Amish is not your brand. For instance, we don't just offer chairs. We offer nearly a 100 different styles. And almost every piece of furniture in our extensive collection can be custom-ordered to fit your taste with more than 75 combinations of rich woods and stains. Not to mention your choice of hardware in wood, porcelain and 11 different metals, ranging from Weathered Copper to Black Nickel.

Your Furniture. Your Way.
In most stores, the furniture on display is equivalent to the stuff you'll find under the heat lamps at the average fast food joint. You don't know who made it, or how long it's been there. But at Simply Amish, we don't start the construction process until we receive your order. And from that point forward, the job is tracked by your name, so that each craftsman knows the person they're building it for. You can either select from thousands of unique styles, or work with your furniture consultant to create a piece of furniture that's truly one of a kind. Either way, the final result will be an exceptional piece of hand-crafted furniture, built to beautifully withstand the test of time.

Quality First and Foremost.
You'll see it in the finish that's sanded and stained by hand. Or solid drawers with dovetail joints in both the front and back designed to keep their shape for generations.

With Simply Amish furniture, quality is first and foremost. And that attention to detail goes far beneath the surface. All of our tables are sealed on the bottom to prevent warping, and our hand-finished drawers run deep, mounted with smooth-running hardware that's guaranteed for life. In fact, we're so confident in the quality construction of our furniture that we offer a similar warranty across our entire product line.

The Personal Connection.
Unlike low-quality knock-offs, our furniture isn't cut and stamped by computers. It's custom crafted by a skilled craftsman who signs his work, just like any master artist. The work is personal. And the commitment runs deep. In fact, should your piece of Simply Amish furniture ever become damaged or need repairs, we'll return it to the very craftsman who made it. And he'll restore it to look just like it did on the day it left his shop.

Real Amish. Real Simple.
In an age that's increasingly complicated, the best ideas are amazingly simple. And we hold fast to that belief. At Simply Amish, we sell beautiful, hand-crafted furniture that's built to take the abuse of everyday life. And look great doing it.
