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 Simply 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.”
Standard Features
All furniture is not created equal. At Simply Amish, we pride ourselves on the use of premium-quality hardware, construction techniques, and joinery in the production of all our furniture.
Blum SmartSlides
Exceptional drawers require exceptional hardware. That’s why our drawers feature heavy-duty slides that allow the drawer to fully extend. The slides are fully enclosed and mounted from below, creating an unobstructed view of our solid dovetail construction. SmartSlides also feature an advanced mechanism that prevents slamming by soft-closing each drawer when it reaches a few inches from the cabinet.
Soft-Close Hinges
Like our SmartSlides, our titanium finish, soft-close hinges provide a smooth, silent close... no matter how hard the door is closed. Our concealed, soft-close hinges now come standard on all cabinet doors.
Quality Drawer Boxes
Drawers take a lot of abuse as you open and close them almost daily. All of our drawer boxes are constructed of 5/8" thick solid hardwood. Our drawer boxes are dovetailed front and back and the drawer bottom is inserted into a groove to form a captive bottom after all 5 pieces are glued and compressed together. Each drawer is then sanded smooth and finished with our varnish to preserve its natural beauty and ensure a lifetime of worry-free operation.
1-Piece Drawer Fronts
Our drawer fronts are one piece with no glue lines up to 8½" (Excludes character woods). We also finish, and then seal the front prior to attaching it to the drawer box.
Luxurious Finish
Six Northern Hardwoods and many great color selections, afford you over 100 possible wood and stain combinations to choose from, as well as the vastOCS and Benjamin Moore selections.
Our dining table tops get three coats of post-catalyzed varnish, making them resistant to water, alcohol, and nail polish. The undersides of our dining tables are finished to prevent snags on clothing and to seal the wood to prevent warping and cracking.
Sealed Edge Grain
We seal the end grain with a special sealant to eliminate moisture transfer and help prevent warping.
Joinery
Dado – For a stronger, long-lasting structure.
Dowel – To ensure structural integrity for the life of your product, we use engineered dowels in our casegood frames that absorb glue better.
Mortise & Tenon – Some of our pieces employ mortise and tenon joinery. Screws are used only as secondary support.
Your Furniture. Your Way.
When we say “custom-built” we mean it. At Simply Amish, you choose the wood, the stain and every other element that goes into making your selection unique. We don’t start construction until we receive your order. From that point forward, your furniture is tracked by your name, so that each craftsman knows the person they’re building for. And in the rare event that your furniture needs warranty work, all you have to do is get the item back to one of our authorized dealers and we will take it from there to make sure the issue is resolved.
Bring out the natural grain by adding depth and color
Giving your home a perfect color palette goes beyond paint. From a deep rich Mocha Nut to a bright golden Autumn Haze, with over 170 wood/stain combinations, Simply Amish has the look you desire.
Premium Stains
The majority of our colors are standard wiping stains and are included in the price of the item. A few of our colors are premium, multi-step colors and require a 5% to 10% up charge. And, although we prefer to use our own specially formulated stains, we also work with the OCS approved line of stains. Charges may apply, depending on the color.
Stain Matching Option
Stain matching is not an easy thing to do. The wood itself will vary in color and even change color over time making stain matching more difficult and time consuming on a new piece of wood. Stain matching requires a custom quote.

Paint Matching Option
We match Benjamin Moore paints. We match their colors using our varnish so you still get the same great Simply Amish finish.

2-Tone Option
We offer 2-tone options on most of our product. In most cases, it will be the “removable” portion of the item that can be made a different color — chair seats, table tops, case tops, doors, or door fronts. Mixing two different woods is also available as an option for most of our product. See our price list for availability.
Post-Catalyzed Varnish
It’s a lot more work to use a post-catalyzed varnish, but it’s worth the extra effort. Post-catalyzed varnish has a lot of advantages over lacquer. It has a much higher solid content, and is thicker, more durable, and more flexible than lacquer. It won’t crack or shatter as the solid wood expands and contracts, which is a natural occurrence with solid wood.
Lower Sheen Option
Unless otherwise specified, our furniture is finished with our standard 35° sheen varnish. We also offer two lower sheens.

Bedroom
All furniture is not created equal. At Simply Amish, we pride ourselves on the use of premium-quality hardware, construction techniques, and joinery in the production of all our furniture.
High-Quality Hardware
Our wooden bed frames connect with non-glued dowels and a heavy steel bolt anchored by an engineered nut. We supply a wrench for tightening the bolts should they loosen. Angle Iron runs the length of the rails to strengthen the rail and support the slats.
Five Slats
Each of our beds come with five wooden slats to support your mattress foundation. On queen beds three of the slats will have additional support feet. On king and California king beds all 5 slats have additional support feet. These slats are supported on the side rails by the angle iron.
Wood Frame Option
No Footboard, No Problem. For those of you who like to hang your feet off the bed we have a solution for you. Most of our beds can be ordered with a wood frame which will eliminate the footboard giving you ample room to stretch out.

Under-Bed Storage Option
Due to the popular nature of under-bed storage, we have carefully designed ours so it can be added to almost any of our beds. Please check specific beds for information on which beds can accept our under-bed storage.
Under-bed storage is sold separately from the headboard and footboard. The desired bed must be purchased as well.
Rolled Slats Option
Looking to lower the height of your mattress? Order our rolled slats option and you will receive everything you need to put your mattress directly onto any of our beds, eliminating the need for traditional box springs. When selecting this option, you may consider altering the height of your headboard. Side rails on standard Simply Amish beds have an 8" clearance. With slats installed, your foundation will be just 9" off the floor with 2" gaps between the wooden slats.

The Island Tables feature an 18" wide leaf.
Lifting Butterfly Leaf
The lifting butterfly leaf allows for more tables to accommodate butterfly leaves without spoiling the beautiful design of the table. This butterfly leaf will be found in single pedestal tables. Lifting butterfly leaves may not have aprons or leaf locks due to space restrictions in the tables using this leaf. A magnetic leaf option is available. The lifting butterfly leaves featured in our single pedestal tables are 18" wide.
End of Table Butterfly Leaf
This option requires the end of the table to be mostly square so the leaf lines up without large gaps and also have limited edge profile options. The end of table butterfly leaf utilizes a new heavy duty table slide that transfers the stored leaf out from under the end of the table and then supports the weight of the extended leaf. End of table butterfly leaves are 18"wide. Tables with this leaf will feature one on each end, adding 36" total to your dining surface.
