Buying from American furniture stores is not just being patriotic, but makes
sense, particularly if you are buying home furniture online. Even if not,
furniture made in America from solid hardwoods such as maple, cherry, hickory
and Oak from firms such as Nichols & Stone, Cambridge Mills and Simply
Amish is of high quality wherever you buy it.
So why American, and why not import fine
English furniture or French classic designs for your home? Some will prefer
these of course, but it is hard to beat the solidity of American furniture made
using traditional carpentry techniques with traditional American woods. Take
quarter sawn oak, for example.
This comes from the same tree as ordinary oak,
but the plank is sawn radially into the annual rings. If you imagine a radius
drawn from the center of a cross-section of the trunk out to the bark, an
ordinary plank is cut across that radius while a quarter sawn oak plank is cut
down the radius. It is more expensive because you get fewer planks that way,
but the grain is even and the resultant plank of wood less liable to warp.
Many American furniture manufacturers and
cabinet makers employ quarter sawn oak for their furniture. Another
particularly American wood is the American black walnut. This is a true walnut,
unlike the African walnut which is a species of mahogany. So buying American
furniture means that you are also buying sustainable American woods, which is
good for the environment.
Quality of Craftsmanship
When you buy from American furniture firms
such as Cambridge Mills, Nichols & Stone, American Craftsman or Simply
Amish, you are buying experience and craftsmanship. Their products are crafted
using proper joints, not just glued and screwed together like too much of
today's home furniture.
Yes, glue and screws might come up with a
solid structure initially, but how long will it last? Nor just that, but if
they cut corners with basic construction where else are they cutting corners?
Is their wood properly cured and seasoned, or will it start warping in a few
months? Has the seating on your sofa been properly upholstered, with well-tied
springs and strong webbing, or will it start falling to pieces after a couple
of years? Or is it actually just foam!
The quality of craftsmanship that you get from
many American furniture stores
can be second to none - or it can be the worst. It is up to you to select your
furniture from recognized American furniture stores that are renowned for their
quality and standard of craftsmanship. Stores like those mentioned above, or Southwood,
Stickley, Sherrill and The Custom Shoppe - all American and all highly
regarded.
Buying Home Furniture
Online
Many of America's best furniture manufacturers
specialize in their work. It figures that craftsmen who can produce beautiful
tables and chairs might not be so good at armoires or beds. Master upholsterers
can make a sofa the most comfortable thing you have sat on, but would not know
how to produce high quality functional home office furniture.
When buying home furniture, you may not just
want to buy furniture for one room - perhaps you want a variety of pieces,
which might involve a trip to several furniture stores or even several shopping
malls. That is very time-consuming, and we don't all have unlimited spare time
on our hands.
This is where buying home furniture online
makes perfect sense. Many online home furniture stores offer the products of a
number of different American furniture firms. You can select your furniture
from a variety of styles and also choose the firm that specializes in the type
of furniture you are seeking. For example, you can purchase a beautiful sleigh
bed from Simply Amish and the mattress from Jamison, both marketed on the same
online furniture website.
You could also use one of the customization
services. Many online home furniture firms offer online room planners. The
Custom Shoppe is a perfect example. You enter the dimensions of your room, no
matter how irregular, and the empty room plan comes up on your screen. You can
then add scale representations of various furniture pieces, so you can find out
exactly how and where each piece would fit.
You can choose your sectionals online to suit
your room shape. The problem with sectionals is choosing the components most
suited to your needs. By combining a room planner with the firm's range of
sectional products, you can buy home furniture online that makes best use of
the space available to you - including corners. Buying home furniture online
from American furniture stores makes sense, and there are many online
that you can use.
