As a millenial, I'm fairly used to garbage particle board furniture from IKEA and other places. But after so many years replacing crappy cheap furniture, I've decided to start investing in real timeless, solid wood pieces. As I've been replacing all my furniture, a bookcase was a piece I was particularly picky about. I knew I wanted solid wood but I wanted something affordable too. Several weeks searching online and throughout different retail stores just didn't turn up anything quality. Or the quality pieces are highly priced because they're name brand, like Stickley, Ethan Allen, etc. After searching, this beautiful Amish bookcase in the Mission style popped up. I was immediately in love and knew I had to have it! I called them, they were super helpful and friendly. I was initially disappointed to hear of a 7-8 month long wait, but that's normal now because of the impacts the pandemic has had on labor and materials. I decided to wait. They custom build the piece for you and you choose the wood and stain. It was worth the very long wait. And Amish Outlet offers their pieces at 25-30% reduction compared to other Amish crafters who offer the same pieces but at higher cost. Same wait times. I'm so glad I waited and decided to get this timeless, American made piece that will last me to the end of my life!
