Amish Dining Tables

Your dining table is the gathering place for your household. Considering that, you need a piece of heirloom dining room furniture with craftsmanship you can rely on.

Why Invest in an Amish Dining Table

Gives a breath of fresh air

 

Invite a fresh appeal into your dining room with Amish made dining room tables. They are designed differently to help you achieve the dining room of your dreams.

Packed with unique features

 

The feature common to hardwood dining room tables is the large stained tabletop, shimmering with woodgrain. That is unless a painted surface is best for your style.

 

Other features common to these Amish dining tables include mortise and tenon joinery for maximum strength. Most of them have thick table tops, too. Unless otherwise noted, all of our table tops are a full inch thick.

Creates a statement

 

Each table has a table top shape unique to its design: square, oval, and boat-shaped are just a few.

 

Table top edges need not be simply squared off. Bevel, round over, and chamfer edges are among many options for outlining your table top and adding subtle dimensions. Table bases come in virtually every shape you can think of, including great sturdy trestles, sophisticated pedestals, and elegant legs.

Makes family dinners unforgettable

 

For entertaining, many of our Amish tables can receive up to four leaves, expanding up to ten feet long. Self-storing leaves stow conveniently inside the table.

 

For supporting extra weight and opening easily, solid wood table glides are designed to balance your needs. Ball-bearing slides offer smooth, easy gliding action and can expand tables enough to accommodate most households' needs. Also available are robust geared slides, and ultra-strong wooden slides.

Sets the mood for your dining area

Our wood, stain and paint types can result in hundreds of possible combinations. Call us, and you can even order custom finishes. Burnishing gives a table an antiqued look, while a two-tone finish can make your dining room look smart and intentional.

 

Whatever your home style, heirloom-quality Amish tables provides joy and function that you and your family will love for generations.

Is Your Table Suited For Amish Kitchen?

 

Amish made tables aren't flimsy pieces of furniture. They are strong anda handcrafted with passion and years of experience.

 

If you are planning on getting an Amish dining table, consider these details:

1. The material

 

Amish dining tables, like other pieces of Amish furniture, are generally made of sturdy, solid hardwood. The material can last for years, particularly if it's well taken care of.

2. The style

 

Amish like being simple. They avoid excessive decoration because it often translates to a frivolous lifestyle. They focus more on sturdiness and durability instead of attractiveness.

 

However, simplicity does not always mean boring. In fact, a lot of Amish made tables look beautiful. Whether you’re aiming for a classic, modern, or retro look, you won’t run out of options.

3. The quality

 

Every piece of furniture Amish woodcrafters make, whether it’s for the kitchen or living room, is a product of hard work. There's no such thing as mass-production when creating Amish made tables or chairs. Everything is handcrafted. This guarantees not just durability but quality, too.

4. The Craftsmanship

 

Amish woodworkers are known for their meticulous attention to detail, often opting for traditional joinery techniques like dovetails, rabbets, and mortise-and-tenon joints. These methods, reinforced with wood glue, can be even more durable than nailed joints, ensuring that your table remains sturdy and resilient over time.

Tabletop Edges

The edge of your dining table is more than just a border; it's a design element that can dramatically impact the overall aesthetic of your piece. Let's explore your options:

Bevel

 

Classic and elegant, the beveled edge offers a subtle angle that softens the table's appearance. Perfect for traditional or contemporary styles.

Mission

 

Bold and clean-lined, the Mission edge is a hallmark of simplicity. Its squared-off profile lends a modern, minimalist look to your dining space.

Chamfer

 

A versatile choice, the chamfered edge combines the best of both worlds: the clean lines of a square edge with the softness of a bevel.

Waterfall

 

Contemporary and eye-catching, the waterfall edge creates a seamless flow from tabletop to legs. Ideal for those who love a modern, sculptural look.

Roundover

 

For a warm, inviting feel, the roundover edge offers a gentle curve that’s comfortable to the touch. It's a popular choice for family-friendly dining areas.

Live Edge

 

Embrace nature's artistry with a live edge. This unique design showcases the wood's natural curves and character, creating a one-of-a-kind piece.

Ogee

 

Indulge in refined elegance with the ogee edge. Its graceful S-curve adds a touch of sophistication to any dining room.

 

Caring for Your Solid Wood Table

 

To ensure your Amish dining table lasts for generations, it's essential to take proper care of the solid wood:

 

• Control humidity: Maintain humidity levels between 40%–45%. Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier or air conditioner in summer.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Position your table out of direct sunlight, or adjust blinds to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can affect the wood.
• Use padding: Place padding under all sharp, hot, or cold objects to protect the wood surface.
• Embrace natural variations: All hardwood tables contain variations in color and grain. These natural characteristics give each piece of solid wood furniture its unique charm, ensuring that no two pieces are identical, even with an identical finishing process.
