An Amish Dining Room Table
Adds Simple Beauty
An Amish dining room table retains its beauty for many years, mostly due to the attention to detail given each piece and the heirloom-quality construction techniques.
These solid-wood tables are handcrafted by highly skilled Amish artisans and their work ethic is reflected in the simple beauty.
The table is the heart of a dining room for sharing meals with family and friends and calls for a table in an enduring style. These tables are sturdy, durable and in a classic style that one never really gets tired of, resulting in a high demand for Amish-made furniture.
With a pride in the old world craftsmanship using techniques that have been used for generations each table can be made to order in a choice of woods, size, stain, legs and with an extension to suit your specific needs.
Look for the following when shopping for your dining room table:
Be sure the tables are constructed using the mortise and tenon technique assuring strength and durability.
For the most part these dining tables are large but can be made to a smaller size and if you do a lot of entertaining, can be made with leaves.
The woods used for your dining

will be hand selected, fine hardwoods such as red oak, cherry, maple, or hickory and sanded smooth with the top aesthetically arranged in a pleasing manner.
The tops are thick, generally made of one inch solid wood and the leaves are cut precisely from the same piece so that when the leaves are in, the top is virtually seamless.
And many table designs provide convenient self storage.
Each piece of the table should be stained in a stain of your choosing and done individually so that each component will be assured of complete coverage that will only enhance the beauty of your table.
The beauty of these tables extends to the minimal maintenance required. If you are in a humid area, a humidifier is a good idea otherwise, clean with lemon oil monthly and your furniture will last to be passed down to the next generation.
