Yoder’s Amish Handcrafted Furniture

Real Amish Furniture! Most furniture is made to order. There is a small show room to display the products and I assume you can buy those pieces but your best bet is to custom design your own.
Great experience! I’ll be back to order cabinets when I finally buy a house (Kenny hires a driver to bring up a big 5^th wheel truck and trailer with the cabinetry and Amish Craftsman in it to install in your house!)
The contact info is wrong. Here is the corrected stuff:

Delivery to Chicago is available. $ 200 – 300. But even with that delivery charge the price Kenny gave me was well below a similar product I almost purchased at Crate and Barrel.
I say a similar product for a reason: Crate and Barrel offered a solid Mango wood table in two finishes that was roughly the dimension and type for my apartment, but at Yoder’s I created a one off piece that I will have for years!
Here is the break down of my table: 42“x42″ Solid Oak (I had the option of four different woods: Cherry, Maple (hard and soft), and Oak). The design of the table I picked out from a catalog that he had at the store. After I chose the general design, I elected to customize it by asking it to be counter height (36″) vice the pictured bar height (42″). Then I selected the wood of my preference. Only the Hard Maple was slightly more. Then I moved on to the bevel on the edge. There were about ten options for this; I went simple with just a ¼″ round. Now we went back to our catalogs and chose chairs. There were so many options! Some of the chairs are ordered from the Amish in the Ohio Valley, but the material and craftsmen ship is just as good. Once the material construction specs were set it was time for a finish! I chose (from about a 100 or more different options) a fruit-​wood top and black lower (he had some of that finish on the showroom and it looked sleek.
Then once that was all set. I asked if he could do a bench for me in the same exact style as the stools I chose for the table (to fit right under a window in the kitchen area in my city apartment). I gave him dimensions and said make it like one of the stools and that was it!
Construction and delivery will take 6 – 8 weeks but well worth it.
All that with delivery was a hundred dollars less than the Crate and Barrel table and chairs I was going with.
Here is the price break down: table was 575, stools 121, bench 242, + delivery and tax. They take credit card as well so don’t think you need to take a bunch of cash down there. Payment is half down at the time of order and half upon satisfactory delivery.
Hope this helps you guys who were looking for some good furniture and are fed up with high prices and junk wood that only lasts a couple years.
