You are looking for quality handcrafted, high-quality, real\u00a0solid timber\u00a0dining room furniture at affordable prices?<\/span>\u00a0These are my tips and tricks to help you make shopping enjoyable and successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/span>\u00a0Dining furniture that is made in the U.S.A.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The majority of “American Made” wood furniture that is sold in the USA comes from overseas.<\/span>\u00a0It isn’t as good as handcrafted solid wood dining room furniture.<\/span>\u00a0Many major furniture manufacturers in America have relocated their operations abroad to save money, and the quality of their products has declined.<\/span>\u00a0Local furniture makers that use responsibly harvested hardwoods will provide authentic craftsmanship and a lifetime guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>\u00a0Choose the style that you want<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may be looking for modern wood dining furniture made with simple\u00a0Shaker\u00a0lines or rustic “distressed”,\u00a0traditional\u00a0colonial, or other styles.<\/span>\u00a0Most furniture makers specialize in one style.<\/span>\u00a0If you buy from a craftsperson who is skilled in the style you are looking for, you will get the best quality and the lowest price.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>\u00a0Choose the type of wood that you prefer<\/span><\/h2>\n

solid cherry\u00a0is our most popular dining wood, but you can also find other durable and beautiful woods such as\u00a0maple\u00a0and\u00a0walnut.<\/span>\u00a0The prices of these premium woods are generally the same, with the exception that walnut is priced at around 20% more.<\/span>\u00a0Every wood is different in its color, grain and hardness. Some woods, such as cherry, can even change their color over time.<\/span>\u00a0Ask your furniture maker what woods they use.<\/span>\u00a0Many furniture builders will have several options.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span>\u00a0Ask about the construction methods that were used to build your dining room furniture<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Traditional construction is preferred. Pay particular attention to joinery techniques used for corners and legs.<\/span>\u00a0Dovetail joinery is a hallmark of high quality drawers. Table aprons attach to table legs with mortise-and-tenon joints.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/span>\u00a0Take into account lead time for furniture crafting and shipping.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Handcrafted dining furniture is a time-consuming process.<\/span>\u00a0The typical lead time for crafting is 6-12 weeks, but the pandemic can add months.<\/span>\u00a0You may need to allow an additional 1-9 weeks for your furniture when it is being shipped.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/span>\u00a0Get\u00a0White Glove\u00a0shipping & delivery<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shipping and delivery is the number one complaint of furniture buyers.<\/span>\u00a0Find out how your furniture will arrive before you buy.<\/span>\u00a0For furniture that is being shipped long distance, you should hire a professional delivery crew who will transport it to your home, set it up, and inspect it for damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

7.<\/span>\u00a0Get a lifetime guarantee<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most custom furniture manufacturers will gladly offer a\u00a0lifetime guarantee.<\/span>\u00a0Ask why yours isn’t comfortable with this.<\/span>\u00a0If there is no way to negotiate the guarantee, you may be able to transfer to another workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

8.<\/span>\u00a0The best time to purchase dining room furniture<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s usually on sale!<\/span>\u00a0Autumn is traditionally when dining furniture is most in demand.<\/span>\u00a0Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and other holidays will see your family gather around the dining room table.<\/span>\u00a0The Fall is a great time to start shopping for furniture.<\/span>\u00a0Soon your dream dining room set can be a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

* You can have your dining room furniture delivered for the holidays by contacting your craftsperson.<\/span>\u00a0We recommend ordering dining furniture in the Fall to ensure a delivery before Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
