DutchCrafters brings its wide range of handcrafted, Amish-made furniture to Alpharetta
When you think of e-commerce, Amish-made furniture is likely not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, you probably picture online furnishings as inexpensive knock-offs made of particle board rather than envisioning the handmade, solid-wood craftsmanship that the Pennsylvania artisans are famous for.

Since then, they’ve created timeless, no-fuss pieces of furniture for nearly every room in a house from bedrooms to offices.
