Amish in TN

Tennessee is home to one of the most sizable Amish populations in the South.  The community at Ethridge, lying about a 90-minute journey south of Nashville, is home to approximately 1,500 Amish.  The Ethridge Amish are quite conservative, using limited technology and living well down the Plain spectrum in terms of material conveniences and dress.

However, limited technical resources have not prevented a woodworking industry to develop in this corner of Tennessee, with numerous Amish furniture shops tucked away on the country lanes snaking across the region outside the 500-person village of Ethridge.

Amish cabinet shops, furniture craftsmen, hickory rocker makers, and more can be found among the community’s numerous Amish-operated businesses.  Some Amish woodworkers create custom made-to-order furniture in addition to standard pieces.  Furniture making is an important entrepreneurial segment, which in tandem with agriculture has allowed this plain Amish community to survive and grow since their founding here in the 1940s.

Beyond Ethridge, around a half-dozen other Amish communities can be found in the Volunteer State, including in Carroll County.  Most are much smaller than the Ethridge community, consisting of a few dozen households at most.  Read more on Tennessee Amish.

Quality home furnishings

Amish furniture has attracted buyers across Tennessee and elsewhere thanks to, among other aspects, its reputation for high quality.  Amish furniture is typically produced in family-run shops, often located on the  home property of an Amish craftsman.  With furniture typically produced in small batches, Amish woodworkers have a reputation for attention to detail and quality workmanship.

Perusing websites and literature for Amish furniture sellers, frequent mention is made of the use of high-quality solid hardwoods (as opposed to veneer or pressed wood construction).  Woods popular with Amish include cherry, walnut, oak, hickory, elm, poplar, maple, quartersawn oak, and more.  Amish also construct pieces using softwoods such as pine and cedar.

Tennessee residents can find Amish -made outdoor furniture and structures such as sheds, gazebos, and storage barns at in-state dealers

Amish craftsmen are also versatile enough to create furnishings for every room of the home, including the bedroom, kitchen, children’s room, office, dining and living rooms, and bathroom.  Amish woodworkers produce custom pieces such as cabinets and islands for kitchens.  Styles include Queen Anne, Traditional, Shaker, Contemporary, Prairie, Mission, and more.  Amish are also not limited to the interior, producing many kinds of outdoor pieces, including gliders, rockers, gazebos, sheds, poly furniture, lawn ornaments, and more.

For these and other reasons Amish-made furniture compares favorably with that made in mass-production-oriented factories and as a result has found a strong following among furniture buyers in Tennessee.

Where to buy Amish furniture in Tennessee

Volunteer State Amish furniture shoppers have a range of choices.  As a state with a sizeable Amish population, visiting an Amish furniture craftsman in person is not out of the question.  The Ethridge Amish community remains the best choice in terms of number of craftsmen, though other Tennessee Amish settlements remain possibilities.  For those wishing to shop for Amish furniture in the comfort of a retail outlet, there are a number of conveniently located Amish furniture dealers across Tennessee, within range of major cities like Memphis, Knoxville and Nashville (with the Nashville area having the highest concentration).  Finally, Amish furniture shoppers can of course order Amish woodcraft online, with a number of internet-based Amish furniture sellers working in tandem with Amish woodworkers to sell and deliver home furnishings to addresses across the state of Tennessee.
