Where do you get your furniture from? Don’t answer that the answer is most likely Ikea, Facebook marketplace or the most reliable place you can think of…. on the side of the road. We all like a good bargain even more so we all like free. But how often has free needed to be replaced or the Facebook marketplace purchase just wasn’t what you thought it would turn out to be.

That outlet would be Amish Furniture. You’re probably thinking like what, why would I buy Amish furniture? Outside of what you may think Amish furniture is, your thoughts wouldn’t...
