How to buy Amish furniture online


Shopping for Amish Furniture online can be frustrating

We're here to make it as simple as possible


If you don't do it right, shopping for Amish furniture online can be extremely frustrating and time consuming, with endless emails and phone calls exchanged if you are not dealing with the right store.

With Eden Hill Home we include shipping in all Amish furniture items, so you can know if you are within your furniture budget. With us there is never sticker shock from super high shipping charges.

Most online Amish stores require you to place your order with them first, then a few days later, after they check with a shipping company, you will get an email telling you how much you will be charged.

Then you have to make a decision on what type of delivery you want, whether the furniture is delivered to your curb, or if you want someone to bring it into your house and unpack it for you.

There are only a few online Amish stores that will do shipping calculation immediately and show it in your shopping cart. But there are almost none that will give you straight forward shipping with no guess work from you. They may also push shipping charges up in order to make more from the sale. Since we include shipping with our products, we might not profit as much.

The best benefit we offer is a payment plan. You only have to pay half of your order total up front, then we collect the other half when your furniture is complete and ready to ship.

Our system will make your shopping experience as easy and hassle and surprise free as possible.

Here's another tip.

Try to pick the online store that provides you with the capability to choose from as many options as possible. Try to comparison shop as much as possible. Some stores have flexible and Easy-to-Use drop down or multiple check box options that give you the power to custom design your Amish furniture. After all, this is handmade, custom furniture, so why not choose your wood and your stain and other options such as table feet, edges, beveled glass for cabinets etc. I have noticed some sites that carry the same items as us and have few to no customized choices. We have worked very hard to include all choices with our products. This way you can customize to your heart's content!

Some stores cannot even take your credit card online over a secure network. You have to fax, phone or email your number in, then who knows where it is going. At Eden Hill Home we have a secure network that even requires your 3 digit security code from the back of your card.

How do you go green with furniture? Easy! You buy furniture not meant to be thrown away after a few years. With Amish furniture found at www.edenhillhome.com furniture is work of art, meant to be cared for and appreciated for generations to come.

Amish craftsman carefully select hardwoods from American forests that are from the east central region. Much attention is paid to ensure that are forests are cared for and can be a sustainable natural resource, one that will not only provide beauty in our homes but in our backyards as well.


It takes years to grow the trees that are suitable for Amish furniture. For that reason they must make sure the forests are cared for in order for them to have job security. For that reason they use hardwood suppliers who ensure that forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible manner.

Nothing is wasted with the Amish. Small wood chips can be shared with neighbors, or used to make smaller items, such as mailboxes or birdhouses. Sawdust may be given to local farmers to use in livestock beds, and scraps are used for firewood.
