Because you want your bedroom to be a place you can relax and go to for repose, you want furniture that reflects security and peace. Amish furniture, well made, can give you just that. True Amish furniture is made by hand and employs the best traditional furniture making techniques, passed down through generations. Fathers train their sons as they work side by side to build furniture that's going to be around for generations. Woods for this furniture are chosen because they are high quality and have a beautiful grain. Every genuine piece of Amish furniture is made of solid wood and has no veneers or particleboard included.
Amish furniture can be a big investment, true, but its returns are unsurpassed. When you choose Amish furniture, look for construction materials and techniques that are of the highest quality. The pieces you choose should be made of solid wood, including having solid backs on pieces of furniture in their upright, such as dressers. The choices of wood should usually include pine, hickory, maple, cherry, oak or quartersawn oak. Hardwoods of the highest quality are kiln-dried so that they have proper moisture content. This helps prevent the woods from splitting and cracking as the piece ages.

Whether you choose a single piece or entire bedroom set, take a careful look at the construction. The Amish are renowned for their handcrafted furniture and employ traditional techniques to build solid and lasting furniture. Pieces of furniture such as chifferobes, armoires, chests of drawers, dressers and nightstands should hold up under rigorous daily use. The furniture should have dovetail joints holding the fronts and backs of the drawer boxes together very tightly. English dovetail joints give you more storage capacity than French dovetail joints do. Take a look at the drawer slides, too, because they should smoothly slide in both directions.
The bed is the centerpiece of any bedroom set, and it should be made with solid wood side rails and slats. This eliminates the need to have metal mattress frames. Cross slats should be made by either tongue and groove or should be doweled into side rails. This will make the bed extremely sturdy and strong and will eliminate any swaying. Headboards and footboards should be made with full mortise and tenon joinery, which further provides unsurpassed strength. Beds are usually made in the Traditional, Sleigh, Shaker, or Mission styles. You can also custom order Amish furniture for your own needs.
One final point to make is that when you select an heirloom quality piece of Amish bedroom furniture, take a look at the finish. Find craftsmen sand down the wood in several steps so that they are sure to have a smooth surface both inside and out. Some shops finish each piece of furniture using a five-step process. They use a top grade finish strong enough to stand up to nail polish remover. Every surface everywhere, from top sides to undersides, has been sealed and finished so that your lovely piece will be protected for years to come.
