Features of East Earl Hutches
The hutches in our East Earl Collection masterfully handcrafted in solid oak, cherry, or maple wood and beautifully finished with a Gemini Stain for magnificent appeal.
Unless otherwise noted, the hutches in this collection feature hidden hinges for an elegant appeal that emphasizes clean lines and the beauty of the solid wood.
This hutch comes with a standard solid wood tongue and grove hutch-top back. If a mirror back is selected, then solid wood plywood is used instead.
The hutch also features beautifully crafted mouldings and decorative engraved insets.
The drawers on this hutch are dovetailed drawers with high quality full extension drawer slides, giving you ease of motion and complete and easy access to all of the drawer contents.
Additional features of this hutch include handsome hardware and tempered glass panes for easy viewing of the contents.
Options include tempered glass shelves with hardwood trim, touch-lighting for easy on and off, and mirror backs for maximum elegance.
The hutch is finished using a two part catalyzed finish that features stains and varnishes from Gemini. A rich, penetrating stain, Gemini is available in several wood tone colors and can be used to enhance any bare or stripped wood surface. It penetrates deep into the pores to seal and protect the wood and is ideal for staining furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding and hardwood floors.
The hutch top is delivered with blocks (that are stained with the hutch) on the bottom of each side to protect it during shipping. Take slight pressure to them with a screwdriver to pop them off before setting the hutch top on the buffet.

Amish Furniture Craftsmanship
Amish Craftsmanship
Amish furniture is well-known for its high quality, traditional designs and authentic craftsmanship. The Amish make furniture using handheld tools run by generators, usually working out of small woodshops beside their rural homes. They are a unique cultural group that avoids computers, cell phones, cars and electricity - even in this high tech age. Amish outdoor furniture is painstakingly made by hand, one piece at a time. Each piece is individually crafted and inspected.
While many American furniture makers lose way to foreign imports, the Amish are thriving in the furniture business in places like Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Holmes County, Ohio; and Shipshewana, Indiana. They’ve earned a well-deserved reputation for quality and value, practicing their craft in many places where American furniture has been made for generations and helping to support those local economies.
While the Amish in general have earned this reputation for high quality, quality can still vary from one Amish furniture maker to another. We carefully select furniture makers whose commitment to quality furniture matches our customers’ expectations.
In general, the Amish are an inward focused people that reflect many generations of isolation from the rest of the world. For that reason, they tend to focus on building furniture rather than selling it. With any high quality product, this is where the focus should be!
We trust that you will enjoy owning your Amish furniture as much as the Amish enjoy making it and we enjoy bringing it to you. Our high quality furniture is a treasure that you can pass along to the next generation.

Queen Anne Furniture
The Queen Anne style of furniture, named after Queen Anne of England who reigned from 1702-1714, has set the standard for period formal furniture since the early 1700's. Known for its gentle, fluid lines, Queen Anne furniture's best known characteristic is the cabriole leg terminating in a pad or drake foot. Other Queen Anne furniture features are the fiddle-back chair backs, bat wing shaped drawer pulls, and ample proportions. Elegant and stylish, Queen Anne furniture creates a sense of occasion in any room and is a perfect style to show off the skilled craftsmanship of Amish woodworkers.

Amish Furniture Corner Hutches
Amish Made Hutches
Amish made furniture is in high demand, and rightfully so. The integrity and hard work that the Amish are known for permeates the products they make. This furniture is painstakingly crafted by hand, one piece at a time. Our hutches are a good example of how Amish made furniture is individually built and inspected.
Our hutches are made of solid wood. The back of the hutch top is made of strips of solid wood linked together in a tongue and groove design. The buffet backs and drawer bottoms are made of all wood plywood to protect them from the contraction and expansion of natural solid wood. The drawers on our Amish made hutches are dovetailed, except for corner hutch drawers because their shape does not allow for dovetailing. All shelves have plate grooves.
Along with their solid design and heirloom quality manufacturing, our Amish made hutches are available in many designs and sizes to match any lifestyle. We have elegant Queen Anne, sleek Mission and simple Shaker hutches, among many other styles. Our corner hutches are perfect for those with tight spaces. We offer two, three or four door width hutches for any storage need that someone may have. Our woodworkers also build our hutches with a variety of options that allow you to personalize your hutch to your own taste. Choose between wood or glass shelves, add lights or mirror backs, or change the door design, depending on the hutch you’re purchasing.
Most of our woodworkers finish their hutches in the stain of your choice with a catalyzed lacquer or varnish. It is chosen to withstand years of wear. Our Cottage Collection hutches are finished with a paint and wax finish to fit the cottage primitive style. We offer a wide variety of stain and paint options to closely match existing furniture or fit the décor preferences of the customer. We will gladly send out samples to help you in your finish selection.
An Amish made hutch will be the centerpiece of your dining room. Its beauty, durability and function will make it a central piece of furniture that you’ll use and love for years to come.
