How Much Does Amish Furniture Cost?

Amish furniture cost is the question everybody has and almost nobody gets answered, because most sites make you add things to a cart to find out. This page gives you the figures. What a chair costs, what a table costs, what a whole room comes to, and which decisions actually move the number.

What Does Each Piece Cost?

A dining chair starts at $310 and a dining table at $994. A bed starts at $1,211, a dresser at $1,791, a bookcase at $678. The middle column below is where most of each range actually sits, and it is the more useful number of the three.
Starting prices get quoted everywhere and mislead almost everyone, because the cheapest piece in a category is rarely the one anybody buys. The typical figure is the midpoint of what we actually stock.

Dining bench $562 $986

Every one of those prices is for solid hardwood, built after you order, in the wood and stain you choose. None of it is a base price that climbs once you pick the options.

What Are You Pricing?

Three rooms account for most of the questions we get about cost, and they sit at very different levels. Dining is the one people price first and the one where the arithmetic surprises them, because chairs are bought six at a time.

Bedroom carries the highest prices of the three. Living has the lowest entry point of the three, starting under $150.

What Does a Whole Room Come To?

A dining table with six chairs lands around $5,200. A bedroom with a bed, a dresser and two nightstands comes to roughly $8,700. An office with a desk, a chair and two bookcases is about $7,200.

Those are built from the typical figures in the table above rather than from a package we sell, so treat them as a realistic middle rather than a quote. Your own number moves with size and species more than with anything else.

Why the Dining Number Jumps

Chairs are the line people forget to multiply. One at $469 reads as reasonable and six at $469 is $2,814, which is more than the table under them in plenty of cases.

Benches change that arithmetic. A bench at $986 covers three chairs that would cost $1,407, which is the reason so many dining rooms end up with one. 

The limit is comfort. A bench is the right call on the wall side and the wrong call where people sit longest, so it saves money in one place and not everywhere.

Why the Bedroom Number Is Higher Than People Expect

Bedroom pieces are large cases with drawers in them, and drawers are the most labor-intensive thing in a house full of furniture.

A dresser at $3,048 contains six or seven dovetailed boxes on full-extension glides. That is six or seven small pieces of cabinetwork inside one piece of furniture.

The limit is that you cannot engineer around it. Fewer drawers costs less and stores less, which is a real trade rather than a saving.

What Are You Comparing It Against?

The answer to "why does it cost that" depends entirely on what is sitting in the other browser tab.Four things get compared to solid hardwood, and only two of them are a fair fight.

Work out which one you are weighing us against, because the honest answer changes in each case.

Flat Pack and Particleboard

A particleboard case with a printed finish costs a fraction of this and does the job for a few years.

If the piece is for a first apartment, a child who will outgrow it or a room you expect to change, that is a sensible purchase and we are the wrong shop. Nothing here is designed to compete at that price.

The limit is the second purchase. The comparison stops being favorable the moment you buy the same thing twice, which is the usual pattern rather than the exception.

Mid-Market Veneered Furniture

This is the closest comparison and the one worth looking at properly. A veneered piece from a well-known retailer can cost nearly as much as a solid one from us.

The difference is a thin layer of real wood over a composite core. It photographs identically, it holds up reasonably, and it cannot be sanded back if something goes wrong on the top.

The limit is that you have to look to tell. Check the edge of a tabletop and whether the grain continues around it, because that is where the two part company.

Other Made-to-Order Furniture

Plenty of workshops build solid wood to order, and prices across that market sit broadly where ours do.

What varies is what is bundled. Our wood, size and stain choices carry no surcharge, delivery is a flat $239 with in-home setup, and samples are credited back. All three are frequently priced separately elsewhere.

The limit is that like-for-like takes work. Compare the delivered total with the options you actually want, not the headline price of a base configuration.

Secondhand and Antique

Good solid wood furniture already exists and some of it is cheaper than ours.

If you have the patience to look and the flexibility to take what you find, it is a genuinely good route and we would say so to your face in the showroom.

The limit is specification. Secondhand gives you what somebody else chose in the size they needed, and the whole point of this catalog is that you pick instead.

How Do You Spend Less Without Regretting It?

Four levers actually work, and three of them cost you nothing you will miss. Size is the biggest and species is the easiest. The other two are leaving off options you will not use, and looking at what is already built.

The lever to avoid is buying the same thing in a lesser material, since that is the purchase this entire page is arguing against.

Size the Piece Honestly

Size moves the number more than anything else on the specification. Board feet and bench hours both scale with the dimensions, and nothing else on the page does.

Most people size for a Christmas that happens once rather than a Tuesday that happens weekly. A 72 inch table with two leaves costs less than an 84 inch table and seats the same people when it matters.

The limit is that undersizing is permanent. Going too small to save a few hundred dollars leaves you with a piece that does not work, which is the most expensive outcome on this page.

Let Species Do the Saving

Species is the cheapest lever because it changes the price without changing the piece at all.

Brown maple sits at the accessible end and takes stain evenly, which is exactly why so much of what we sell is built in it. A design in brown maple and the same design in a scarcer hardwood are different numbers for identical cabinetwork.

The limit is grain. If you want the figure of a particular wood, you want that wood, and no stain gets you there.
Browse samples

Skip Options You Will Not Use

Drawers, doors, lift mechanisms and swivels are hours rather than material, and each one is priced accordingly.

A plain case costs less than a fitted one. If the storage will not get used or the mechanism will not get touched, that is a straightforward saving rather than a compromise.

The limit is buying the wrong piece to save money. If the reason you wanted it was the storage, removing the storage removes the reason.

Look at Quick Ship

Quick Ship holds 261 pieces in fixed wood and size combinations, from $40 to $5,077, with a midpoint around $808.

Because the configurations are fixed, these are often the simpler versions of a design, and they arrive in weeks rather than months. For anyone flexible on specification it is a sensible place to look first.

The limit is choice. You are taking the wood and size somebody else settled on, which is a real trade even when the number suits you.

What Does It Cost to Own?

Purchase price is the number everyone compares and the wrong one to decide on. What matters is the cost per year you keep it, and on that measure solid hardwood is rarely the expensive option.

Four things decide that figure, and none of them show up on a product page.

How Often You Replace It

A table bought once and kept for thirty years costs a fraction per year of one bought three times in fifteen.

Run the arithmetic on whatever you are comparing us to. A $2,359 table kept for thirty years is under $80 a year, and that is before anybody inherits it.

The limit is that this only pays if you keep it. If your taste changes every five years, the long view is not an argument that applies to you.

Whether It Can Be Repaired

A solid top can be sanded back and refinished as many times as its thickness allows, which turns a water ring or a deep scratch into an afternoon rather than a replacement.

Veneer cannot. One thin layer of real wood over a core means sanding through it ends the piece, and that is the practical difference between the two constructions.

The limit is cost of labor. Refinishing is not free, it is simply far cheaper than buying again.

What It Is Worth Afterwards

Solid hardwood holds a resale value that composite furniture does not, because there is something left to sell.

More often it never gets sold at all. These are the pieces that move to a daughter's first house rather than to the curb, which is a return that does not appear in any calculation.

The limit is that nobody should buy furniture as an investment. Treat residual value as a cushion rather than a reason.

What the Warranty Covers

Indoor wood furniture carries a one year warranty against craftsmanship or workmanship defects. Outdoor poly carries a residential limited lifetime warranty on a defective product or part.

Both exclude normal wear, commercial use and lack of care. Every furniture warranty does, and it is worth reading yours at the point of ordering.

The limit is that a warranty covers faults, not regret. It protects you against a bad piece rather than a piece you chose badly, and the samples exist to handle the second one.

Where Do You Want to Start?

Starting prices by piece, so you can see which end of the catalog your budget lands in before you open anything. Every figure is the lowest live price in that collection.

Seating is where almost everyone starts, since a single chair is the least costly way to find out whether the quality is worth it to you.

Does the Wood You Pick Change the Price?

Yes, and it is the only part of the specification that does. Size aside, species is the single decision on a product page that moves the total, because the stain, the dimensions and the configuration options are all included.

That makes it worth understanding rather than guessing at, since the same design can sit at two noticeably different prices depending on nothing but which boards go into it.

Why One Wood Costs More Than Another

Price follows what the timber costs to buy and what it costs to work.

Rarer species sit higher on the first count and denser ones on the second. Dense timber blunts tooling faster and takes longer to machine and sand, so the bench time climbs with the material.

The limit is that none of this makes the cheaper woods lesser. Brown maple is used constantly by the shops that build for us precisely because it works well and finishes beautifully.

When Paying More Is Worth It

Pay for species when you want the grain to be visible, because that is the one thing stain cannot imitate.

If the piece is going to be stained to a mid or dark tone, much of the difference between species disappears into the finish. If it is going light, or the figure is the point, the wood is the whole decision.

The limit is consistency across a set. Pieces are not all offered in every species, so a wood chosen for one item may not be available for the next.

See the Difference Before You Pay for It

Order chips in the two species you are torn between and set them side by side in the room.

At $12 to $15 each, and credited against your order, the comparison costs almost nothing and settles a question worth hundreds of dollars on a single piece.

The limit is that a chip is small. Grain reads differently across a large top than across a sample, so use the chips to compare species rather than to predict the finished piece exactly.

Pricing a Kitchen at the Same Time?

Fitted cabinetry is costed by the run and the design rather than by the piece, which makes it a different conversation entirely. Our sister company prices that work, in the same hardwoods.

What Gets Added at Checkout?

One thing: delivery, at a flat $239 with in-home setup, anywhere in the lower 48. Your wood, your size and your stain add nothing, and the stain samples come back off the order.

The reason to state that plainly is that it is unusual. Options that are quoted as extras almost everywhere else are part of the price here.

The Full List

Delivery and in-home setup Flat $239 across the lower 48, regardless of how many pieces are on the order
Wood, size and stain No surcharge
Stain samples $12 to $15 each, credited against your order
Quick-ship fee
 10% on some items, and only if you ask for a build to be pulled forward
Payment Half on ordering, the balance when delivery is scheduled
Financing
 Available at checkout on eligible orders

Order everything together where you can. Delivery is charged per order rather than per piece, so one delivery of six items costs the same $239 as one delivery of one.

Price the Room, Not the Piece

Work out every piece the room needs before you price any of them, because the chairs and the nightstands are what move a total rather than the table or the bed. Then settle the size honestly, let species carry the saving if you need one, and order the chips before anything else.

If you would rather not guess, call us at 615-819-2772 with the room and your budget, and we will tell you what that buys.

You can also work through the whole catalog at your own pace, or come and put your hands on it at our showroom on Nolensville Road. We are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm.

Frequently Asked Questions

A table with six chairs sits around $5,200 using mid-range pieces, and closer to $8,500 once a buffet joins it. The spread is wide, since tables run from $994 to $6,122 and chairs from $310 to $1,118.
No, it is a flat $239 added at checkout, covering the lower 48 including in-home setup. It is charged per order rather than per piece, so six pieces and one piece carry the same fee.
Yes. Species is the one specification choice that moves the number, since rarer timber costs more at the yard and denser timber takes longer at the bench. Brown maple sits at the accessible end of the range.
No. Stain and paint are included whichever you pick, across hundreds of finishes. The only thing a finish decision costs you is the price of the samples, and that comes back off your order.
Yes, there are financing options available at checkout on eligible orders. Most customers also split the payment, paying half up front and settling the rest once a delivery date is set.
Usually size, species or what is underneath. A longer top is more material, a harder wood is more labor, and a base with a leaf mechanism in it is more work than one without. The silhouette tells you none of that.
Quick Ship, where 261 pieces sit in fixed configurations from $40 upward with a midpoint around $808. After that, sizing honestly and letting brown maple carry the saving will do more than anything else.
Yes, within the $239. Delivery is white glove, so the team brings the piece into the room you want it in and sets it up rather than leaving boxes at the door.
