When it comes to purchasing furniture, safety is a top priority for consumers. Many people look to buy furniture that is made using traditional methods or from eco-friendly materials. One source of such furniture is pieces made by the Amish community. Amish made furniture is known for its quality craftsmanship and natural materials, but consumers may wonder about its safety standards and regulations. While there aren't specific safety requirements for Amish-made furniture, there are factors to consider when making a purchase, such as the types of wood used and whether the furniture has been finished with non-toxic materials. Overall, understanding these details can help consumers make informed decisions about buying Amish-made furniture.

Dining & Kitchen Tables

Each table is tested to ensure the base or legs are leveled. Tables that are expandable are built using gear driven slides tested to support the weight of the table top. By ensuring the table top does not exceed the capacity of the glides helps prevent tipping issues.

Legs with wooden glides feature center support legs when they hit certain sizes. These center support legs help support sag in the middle of the table and protentional accidents due to the table top buckling under the weight in the middle. Center support legs should always be used in scenarios when needed to prevent any issues or accidents with the table.

Bed Frames

Queen and King bedframes include center support legs for the center support slats. This helps support the weight of the mattress and occupants. The headboard and footboard are secured through cast aluminum L-brackets. The side rails are bolted down with a ½" threaded bolt making the frame sturdy.
