ABOUT
Each piece of our Amish furniture is individually handcrafted (hand planed, sanded, stained, and varathaned)- and, more often than not, specifically built to order for each customer.
Each piece of our Amish furniture is also built of solid wood- because of the nature of real wood, no two pieces are alike, with varying grains, markings, stain absorption, varathane settling, etc.). Due to these factors, the overall appearance of a finished product is beyond our control.
If you're looking for a factory finished product, our furniture will, unfortunately, not meet your needs. That said, if you are looking for furniture that is truly one of a kind, has a unique personality, and is imperfectly perfect, you have some to the right place!
When cleaning solid wood furniture never use chemicals or cleaners as this can cause damage to the wood and finish. Only use warm water with a lint free cloth when cleaning.
FAQ
Do you build custom furniture?
We offer some modifications to our Amish furniture! Call at 519-277-0407 to schedule an appointment to discuss modifications.
When is your next sale?
Sales are more so a spur of the moment decision than anything- therefore we're never quite sure when the mood will strike us to host our next! Keep an eye out on our Facebook page to learn of upcoming ones!
What is your return policy?
All furniture is final sale. All other items are by exchange only.
Can my order be canceled once an order is placed?
Once an order is placed, the order cannot be canceled, nor deposit refunded. Please be sure you are 100% committed to ordering as it will not be cancelled once the order is complete, and a deposit is applied to the order. Once we receive orders with payment they are immediately entered into our system, sent to our builders and with every piece being handcrafted to each customer's order they cannot be canceled nor changed.
Do you offer delivery?
We do offer a drop off service for a fee which means that we bring the items to the main door or garage only. We don't carry the items inside the home or set-up furniture. But the vast majority of furniture is able to fit in a minivan or SUV with all passengers' seats folded down! Unsure about your vehicle? We do include the dimensions of each product on our website, so you are able to easily measure your vehicle storage!
If I order a piece (or buy it off the floor), how long am I am able to store it?
When notified that your piece is available for pick-up, we do require the furniture to be picked up within seven days (7). If your furniture is not picked up in a within the indicated time frame, you will forfeit your non-refundable deposit.
Do you charge tax?
Yes, we must.
Do I have to pay for the whole invoice at time of order?
If placing an order in store, we require half down deposit at time of ordering. The hardcopy invoice with balance owing must be brought for pickup- without said invoice the furniture will not be released to customers. If placing an order over the phone or online full payment is required at time of order (Half down is not an option when placing these orders). If placing an order during a sale full payment is required at time of order or purchase.
Can I get a deal if I purchase multiple pieces of furniture?
Unfortunately, not. We try to keep our prices as low as humanly possible, making it affordable for everyone- thus we have an extremely small profit margin, which doesn't lend for "dealing"!
What methods of payment do you accept?
Cash, etransfers, debit cards and credit cards (with the exception of American Express)!
Do you build your furniture yourselves?
No! While we do design all of our pine furniture, we work with 1 amazing Amish family who builds all the stunning pieces.
If I order pieces of furniture at different times, will they match exactly?
No- the pieces of furniture will vary slightly as this is the nature of solid real wood. No two pieces will be alike and will vary in grains, marking, stain absorption, varthane and setting. Therefore, when purchasing at separate times the pieces of solid wood furniture may not match exactly.
Once an order is placed, can the colour be changed?
No unfortunately the finish colour cannot be changed in any way, shape or form once an order is placed. All pieces are handcrafted to each customer's order based on their colour selection. Please be sure that you are 100% positive with your colour selection before making an order as this cannot be changed once ordered.
Will you hold my order until my new house is built?
Unfortunately, we are not able to hold orders longer then 7 days after ordering/arriving in store as we don't have storage room. All items will need to be picked up within the week once they arrive and most orders arrive in 3-7 weeks of order date, We suggest that you wait until closer to your move in date or just after your move in date to order your items. All orders that are held past the 7 days after arrival will be charged a storage fee. Storage fee is $20 a day after the 7 days hold policy.
Are all the handcrafted pieces the exact same as photos on website and in store?
No all the pieces will vary slightly in style and design. All of our furniture is handmade by multiple Amish builders which in turn may change the style and design slightly between each piece. Example: Benches may have different supports depending on which builder built your items. Benches may have different legs depending on which builder built your items.
Do you charge a storage fee for items held past the 7-day hold policy?
Yes! We will all items for 7 days maximum. If the storage exceeds 7 days, the customers will be charged $20 a day until the item is picked up. The order will be released once the storage fees are paid with cash, debit or credit card.
Can I store my pieces while I build my home, move, etc?
Of course, you can! However, you need to ensure proper storage measures are in place. All solid wood needs to be stored in a climate-controlled area to ensure the pieces do become too humid or dry. All plastic wrap needs to be removed when storing as the plastic wrap is only to be used for transportation purposes and may cause damage to pieces. If storing a table, the table needs to be assembled to provide the proper support and help stop warping. No tabletop should ever be stored on its side or on the ground (without base attached).
Does your staff load our items or are the customers responsible for loading?
Customers are responsible to load their items and ensure they are fully secured in their vehicles. Staff will help assist bringing the items to the loading area where from there the customers will load their order. Please ensure you have brought enough people to help with assisting in loading your vehicle.
Does my house need climate control for wood furniture?
Yes! Improper climate control in a home can cause massive damage to a wood piece of furniture including cracking or swelling. It is recommended that all homes with solid wood furniture have a moisture level reader to ensure proper moisture levels are present for the solid wood furniture. Moisture levels should be between 45% to 55% to ensure wood furniture stays in the best possible shape. At times depending on seasons/environment the home may require a humidifier or dehumidifier. Please note that we are not responsible for cracks, swelling, etc of furniture.
Can you notice screw or nail heads on the Amish Line of furniture?
Yes, you will be able to notice grey screw nail heads on all the Amish line of furniture and will be more visible on certain finishes such as clear coat and cream paint. Some of the screw/ nail heads may not be completely flush with the piece of furniture. The screw/nail heads add a rustic characteristic which is what the Amish line was design for.
Is the pricing online the same as in store?
No, the pieces of Amish handcrafted furniture are $10- $30 more in store than prices on website, but ready to take home same day. If you would like to place an order online or instore and wait 6-12 weeks you will save $10- $30 (order prices can be seen online at www.lucanarchitectural.com)
