The Guide to Amish Farm Tables

The Guide to Amish Farm Tables

• The history of the Pennsylvania Dutch, or
  Mennonite and Amish communities is intricately
  linked with the history of the United States,
  where this group of devout people sought refuge
  during the eighteenth century and where they
  thrive and live to this day. One of the
  principles of Amish life is that they are not a
  frivolous society, nor are they a throw-away
  society, and many of the pieces of furniture made
  by Amish craftsmen are built to last several
  generations.

• Madison Leg Extension Table
• A traditional Amish Farm Table is more than just
  a dining table-- it is a table at which long
  conversations are held, meals are served, work of
  all sorts is done, prayer meetings are held, and
  where the community makes some of its most
  important decisions. When the weather is good,
  you can often find an Amish Farm Table outdoors,
  groaning under the weight of fresh produce and
  hosting everything from potlucks to weddings.
• Newbury Leg Extension Table
• Amish Farm Tables are not small tables for small
  groups, nor are they delicate, flimsy things. How
  do you know if the table you are considering
  buying is suited for Amish farm life?

• 1-- The Wood
• An Amish Farm Table will be made with the best
  possible quality of wood, preferably good, solid
  hardwood. Hardwoods last hundreds of years if
  they are well taken care of, and longevity is a
  prized quality among the Amish when it comes to
  their farm tables.
• 2-- Quality of manufacture
• Each table needs to be manufactured as well as
  possible because these tables are expected to do
  decades worth of hard work. They are hand-made,
  with every single piece of wood, every nail,
  bracket and dowel being carefully and accurately
  inserted by the maker. When making Amish Farm
  Tables, there is no mass-production.

• Traditional Leg Extension Table
• 3-- The Style
• The Amish refer to themselves as Plain folk,
  because excessive decoration is considered
  frivolous and unnecessary. That extends to their
  furniture, too. If the farm table you're looking
  at is heavily decorated, it's not Amish!
  Sturdiness is more important that fashion, and
  hard work more prized than attractiveness.
• 4-- The Manufacturer
• It may sound obvious, but you can really only be
  sure that your table is genuine Amish Farm Table
  if it is made by an Amish craftsman Furniture.

• West Lake Leg Extension Table
• 5-- The Size
• A small table that seats two to four people isn't
  a farm table. Of course, you can get Amish-made
  dining tables, work tables and many others that
  are smaller and suited for your space, but if
  it's a farm table, it needs to seat at least ten
  people, and preferably more.

Amish Farm Tables are not small tables for small
groups, nor are they delicate, flimsy things. How
do you know if the table you are considering

these tables are expected to do decades worth of
hard work, each table needs to be manufactured as
well as possible. There is no mass-production
