This photo was taken in February in northern Indiana. Â Can you tell what’s in the back there, under the plastic?
The reader who shares this writes that it’s from “a company called Lambright Comfort Chairs. They make the Amish version of the LazyBoy recliner. They have small versions that they sell to the RV market.”  Another example of Amish seating.
Closer-up:
I know there have to better titles for this photo than my La-Z-Boy-inspired attempt.

There have been quite a few interesting submissions on the question request post. Today’s topic comes from an old batch but we hope to get to some of your newer questions soon. A reader asks: Do they have books or normal furniture? Given the generality of that question I simply asked John to comment on the types of books and furniture seen in Amish homes….
The photos below are of a model log cabin home previously on display at Eash Sales in Shipshewana, IN. Â This cabin has since been sold and replaced by a two-story model. The company that makes these is called Hoosier Rustic Cabins, and has recently changed owners. Â Looks like a cozy little spot. UPDATE: Here’s the price sheet and cabin layout….
I must say Pennsylvania Dutch tickles my ears. Â Listening to the language is like hearing two tongues spliced together–one I understand, one I most surely do not. You’ll catch a good bit of that even in the first five minutes of this video tour of Schrock’s of Walnut Creek. Numerous English words trickle out from amongst the Deitsch as Schrock’s Marvin Miller takes you through…
Popped open a copy of USA Today in between flights yesterday, and what should I find but another full-page ad for the ‘Amish miracle heater’. I was hoping to avoid the heater issue as it’s been covered enough elsewhere, but looks like there is a lot of fresh reporting just out. Good Amish heater analysis at consumeraffairs.com as well as a Philly Fox News report…
A writer for the Washington Post visits the New Wilmington, PA Amish community in this article.  It’s a pretty straightforward Travel section piece.  One paragraph did jump out at me: Craftsmen and seamstresses advertise their wares with simple hand-lettered signs painted on scraps of wood — Furniture. Quilts. Jams & Jellies. Harness Maker — leaving you to discover the true quality of what’s for sale…
A few months ago I started to notice search traffic coming to this site for a curious term. “Amish wood milk” is not something I’d ever heard of. But quite a few people were looking for it, with even dozens a day landing here for “Amish wood milk”-related searches. How where they arriving at Amish America, since–to my knowledge–I’d never written anything about this mystery liquid…

I bet that chair is so comfortable. I want one of those hickory rockers I keep seeing everywhere. I sat in one and didn’t want to get up – but they made me. 🙂 Have a great week!
I want a hickory bent rocking chair, too! I saw one at a local furniture store and it was on sale for $500 (marked down from $700). I went to a nearby Amish home and they had one for sale for $175.00. I asked her if one of the men in their district made it and she said it was made in her former community. I know where I’ll be buying it!
How ’bout, “lean back and set a spell”? It’s longer than La-Z-Boy, but it describes its purpose, I think. 😉

Chair name
How about Recline-a-chair? Sounds comfortable to me!
hickory/oak bent rockers
Mark has a number of these rockers. He uses them in his living room, bedroom, and out on his porch. Actually, he has a hickory and oak dining room set. The table and chairs are in the same style. He said that he can get them locally for around $150 either at Yoder’s Furniture Store or the Country Variety Store.
Seating arrangements
“Plain and simple sitting” as my mother used to say.
[no really, me mum, when we asked “what are you doing, Mom?”
would reply “plain and simple sitting” or alternately “plain
and facy sitting”]
Fantastic Recliners!
My family has been in the RV furniture business for over 30 years and several years ago we discovered Lambright Comfort Chairs. I have purchased these recliners as gifts for family members. Not only do they make a great product, but they are also great people. The chair that I purchased, which I believe is the one in your photo, is referred to as the Lazy Relax-R. Love these chairs! So Comfortable!
