What Makes Amish Bookcases Unique?
Amish bookcases stand out due to their rich history and tradition of Amish craftsmanship. Each wood type offers four or more stain colors. If our extensive range of stain options doesn't meet your taste or match your existing décor, we can customize our solid wood bookcases to complement your current furniture or a sample piece perfectly. This is an excellent option for customers looking to expand their existing furniture set, whether for the living room or bedroom.
The simple design of bookcases allows our skilled builders to make custom size adjustments based on your specifications. We can modify the length, height, depth, and shelf quantities within a few inches per design. Some of the solid wood bookcase styles we offer include:
- Two-piece full-shelf bookcases
- Two-piece half-shelf bookcases with doors
- Single executive bookcases with adjustable shelves
- Single solid wood bookcases with or without doors
- Various wall-mounted bookcases
- Swivel bookcases
- Bookcases with glass doors, drawers, and shelves
Our bookcases are crafted in styles such as Mission Heritage, Shaker, and a mix.
Specific Features of Amish Bookcases
Solid Hardwood Construction
At Amish Furniture Factory, our bookcases are crafted using only the finest solid hardwoods, ensuring both beauty and durability. The types of hardwoods used in our bookcases include oak, cherry, quarter-sawn white oak, maple, brown maple, rustic cherry, and rustic hickory. These woods are chosen not only for their strength but also for their unique grain patterns, which add character and warmth to each piece.
Durability and Longevity: Solid hardwood is known for its exceptional durability. Unlike particleboard or veneer-covered furniture, solid hardwood can withstand the rigors of daily use without showing significant wear. This durability means that our Amish bookcases are built to last, becoming treasured heirlooms that can be passed down through generations.
Aesthetic Appeal: Each type of hardwood offers a distinct visual appeal, from the deep, rich tones of cherry to the lighter, more subtle grains of maple. The natural beauty of these woods is further enhanced by our selection of stains, allowing you to customize the finish to perfectly match your existing décor.
Adjustable Shelf Options
Our Amish bookcases are designed with versatility in mind, featuring adjustable shelves that allow you to tailor the storage space to your specific needs.
Benefits of Adjustable Shelves: The adjustable shelves in our bookcases provide you with the flexibility to organize your books and decorative items exactly as you wish. Whether you need to accommodate tall books, display collectibles, or create a balanced arrangement, these shelves can be easily moved to suit your requirements.
Enhancing Customization: Adjustable shelves enhance the customization of your bookcase, making it a truly personalized piece of furniture. With the ability to change the shelf spacing, you can ensure that your bookcase evolves with your needs, whether that means adjusting for a growing collection or rearranging for aesthetic purposes.
Range of Shelf Spacing Adjustments: Our bookcases offer a wide range of shelf spacing adjustments, allowing you to create the perfect configuration for your space. This feature is especially useful for those who want to maximize storage while maintaining a clean, organized look.

How to Choose the Right Amish Bookcase for Your Home
Finding the right measurements for your Amish bookcase ensures a perfect fit in your space, avoiding any issues with size or placement. Accurate measurements help you choose a piece that complements your room’s flow, while providing the storage and style you need.
| Measure Height Clearance | Measure Width | Measure Depth |
|---|---|---|
Measure from the floor to the ceiling where the bookcase will sit. Make sure there’s enough space for the bookcase to fit under any ceiling lights, molding, or fixtures.  |
Measure the space from one side of the designated area to the other. Ensure the bookcase fits without blocking any walkways or nearby furniture.  |
Measure how far out from the wall the bookcase will extend. Avoid placing it too far into the room, as this can block walkways or radiators.  |

From happy customers
Transform Your Space with the Stunning Boulder Creek Barrister Bookcase
This was my very first time ordering a piece of furniture from Amish Furniture Factory and I was a bit apprehensive since I hadn’t ordered from here before and never ordered furniture online ever either. However, I took a leap of faith and ordered a book case. And it turned out to be a great experience. The website and ordering process was easy, with some lovely customization options. I ordered my furniture in ‘Walnut’ wood which while may seem rare for US, it’s a wood that I’m very familiar with and I really love. The bookcase I received is an absolutely beautiful piece of craftsmanship, and I’m really happy to own a beautiful handmade Amish furniture in my house. My bookcase is just like the picture when I was ordering, and is even more beautiful than I imagined. Delivery of my bookcase was delayed a bit, but it was worth the wait. I loved it so much, that I ordered another one exactly like it. Thank You Amish Furniture Factory. I love my bookcase.

We at Amish Furniture Factory see to it that we offer as many options as possible to satisfy the customer and to give them their money’s worth. We are so happy with the bookshelf and the island stools! The quality of your furniture is unsurpassed, not to mention that the options seem limitless.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Amish Furniture factory!
New Home for My Books
I have a large collection of books of various sizes. They had been housed for over 40 years on beautiful built-in shelves in my study. Then we retired, we sold our home along with my study and the problem was what to do with my books. Even after weeks of culling to decrease the sheer number, there were still some 20 boxes of books of all sizes and weights. We were moving to a much smaller condo, and I was planning to make one of the bedrooms into a study. I needed very well-built, sturdy, and adjustable bookshelves. So I began a fairly extensive search both in person and online. Most of the shelves that I found were either not fully adjustable or would not hold the weight of my books. I finally “stumbled” onto the Amish Furniture Factory website. After multiple phone calls and emails, it became evident that these bookshelves would work for me.
The representatives that I communicated with were extremely helpful with design, color samples, and arranging for delivery that would be convenient (although VERY expensive). My books now have a new home on my Amish bookshelves. Just as advertised, they are completely adjustable, easily hold the weight and look GREAT!! I could not be happier and would enthusiastically recommend these bookshelves.
The Amish Experience!
We ordered this awesome bookshelf online from Amish Furniture Factory.
We couldn’t find anything we liked from the stores in our area, but AFF had so many great options.
They even sent us samples ahead of time so we could see the different wood and stain options. They communicated with us regularly so we knew exactly what was going on and when we would get it.
They delivered it and set it up right where we wanted.
I highly recommend Amish Furniture Factory.
2 Solid Wood Bookcases House a Beautiful Collection of Books
We are pleased to receive Jeffrey’s note about his new bookcases: I was completely satisfied with the bookshelves, in placing the order and receiving the product. Extremely well-made furniture.
Jeffrey has just bought two glorious oak bookcases built to support his respectable book collection. At 48” wide by 66” high, the Royal Mission 4865 Bookcase provides ample storage. Its styling features diamond inlays, corbels outside the top corners and slatted paneling down the sides. Jeffrey chose a warm Acres stain to frame his colorful books in a breezy reading room.
How New Furniture Helps Douglas Display His Antiques
“I was most pleased by the entire process and the bookcases were absolutely beautiful and the construction and woodworking a bit beyond my very high expectations. Several neighbors have also been simply amazed by the quality.
“Lastly, the delivery fellas were terrific, bent over backwards to make sure the last step of the delivery process was perfect, even in the winter wonderland of Lake Tahoe at the time.
Cheers
Boulder Creek 6′ Bookshelf
Before choosing on what to buy, think about how big you want this piece of furniture to be and how much space you have. There are numerous Amish-made bookcases available; choose the look you prefer while keeping quality in mind.
We looked at numerous manufacturers and furniture stores to find a unit to fit a particular space in our home. Nothing seemed to meet our vision so we began looking at “custom” furniture makers and found the Amish Furniture Factory online. We found a style that we liked and after studying the options, selected the “Boulder Creek 6′ Bookshelf.” The unit comes with 10 shelves and we added glass front doors, custom decorative inlays, and custom stain. The time to build was lengthy but in line with all the custom manufacturers we contacted.
The quality of the unit we received was simply outstanding. It has all the aspects of a showpiece that would be welcomed in any home. I doubt we would ever find a more perfect solution for our purpose and the turnkey price for the basic unit, customizations, (on-time) delivery, and in-home setup made us very pleased with our selection. We would highly recommend the Amish Furniture Factory to anyone seeking a high-quality furniture piece for their home.
Why the Perfect Sound Station Is a Made-To-Measure Bookcase
“My shopping experience with the Amish Furniture Factory was extremely favorable. Shopping on the internet can be stressful, but when shopping on the internet for an expensive piece of furniture… that can be extremely stressful. However, Laura at the Amish Furniture Factory made it so much less stressful. She made it a very pleasant experience.
“We made this purchase online because we could not find, readymade, the measurement we needed to house our electronics. We saw a solid wood bookcase we were interested in on the Amish website. We called to inquire about the measurements and were told we could have the unit custom made to meet our needs. There was extra pricing for this but it was not very much more.
“Laura always called back or emailed responses to any of our concerns immediately.
“We took a few pictures and sent them in just to make sure we all understood one another. We placed the order and received exactly the high quality furniture we were looking for. The bookcase was actually ready for delivery earlier than quoted. We have had many complements in the short time we have had the unit and we are very pleased as well.
“I highly recommend this company and will order again.
