Amish Style Wooden High Chair
Summary: If you want an heirloom quality high chair for your new baby, consider purchasing an Amish style chair in light oak, or a darker lacquer to go with your dining room furniture.  Amish crafted furnishings are all hand made and are in demand all over the USA, Canada and beyond.  The artisans who create these beautiful pieces are so dedicated to their craft and their ethics, they won’t let a defective piece be sold.

You can probably walk into a high end department store’s baby section and walk out with a serviceable high chair for less than you will pay for an Amish chair.  However it won’t be comparable to an Amish mission style or other Amish hand crafted pieces and you can be pretty certain that your great grandchildren will be using it for their kids.

Beautiful Amish high chairs have at least two coats of varnish or lacquer which means you can wash up the tray and dry it with a soft cloth.  You can order a specific piece from an artisan or from an agent authorized to sell their pieces.  For instance you may want to order a wood highchair to match your Amish table and dining chairs.  However since these things are hand crafted and stained it may not be a 100% match.  If you purchase your new items from the artisan who made your dining room furniture, you may get a closer match than you might otherwise have.

There are a few websites that offer Amish furniture but be cautious, try to verify that what they offer is authentic Amish and not just Amish style.

If you would like to actually visit an Amish craftsman, there are sizeable Amish communities in Pennsylvania, Ohio and upstate New York and smaller groups in a few other places.

The acorn high chair is finished with a three stage lacquering process which help to insure that the high chair will keep its shine for generations to come.  Amish furniture is not limited to tables and chairs.  You can get cradles, dressers, armoires, cribs, benches, chests and toy boxes.

If you get the chance, visit an Amish community and see the many craftsmen in their shops, look at their wares.  There is a lot of mission style furniture made by the Amish.  Many people love the simplicity of clean lines of this style.

Need a bookcase, rocker or curio cabinet?  You can find an Amish made one that meets your needs.  A friend of mine had a roll top desk made for her husband’s new law office.

Have you always dreamed of a sleigh bed or and old fashioned four poster?  You can have one made by an Amish craftsman.  You may want to get a nightstand or two at the same time, with an old fashioned Amish quilt your bedroom will be beautiful.

The Amish use no power tools to create their wonderful hand made pieces and yet what they make lasts for generations.  That is how skilled and attentive to details they are.  Their emphasis is on quality, as opposed to speed.

You will never regret buying an Amish wooden high chair.
