I am the daughter of the business owner here at Amish Country Furnishings and although this may make me seemingly bias, it also makes me extremely well informed of the ins and outs of the business. My dad does not know I’m writing this, but I feel as though it needs to be said.
This store was my parents first born child (I am their third). Having grown up with this company my entire life, I have watched my dad (and mom, who cofounded the company but unfortunately passed away a few months ago) put 24 hours of nonstop effort into this place. Even at family dinners, we would always somehow find a way to route the conversation back to the new catalogs, updates on the website, reconsidering hours to fit everyone’s needs, etc.. My dad absolutely has way more pictures of the furniture pieces on his phone than photos that contain him.
Going to the grocery store, I was always prepared to stop and be introduced to someone he’s done business with. My dad takes care in remembering not only his customers names, but their lifestyles, preferences, family situations, and anything else he is able to learn from personal interactions. Although I used to get somewhat sick of it as a kid, I know find it extremely admirable and have grown so much respect for how much he genuinely cares about everyone who sets foot in the store. As a child, I thought most businesses were run like my parents- with a loving store dog, a small but tight knit staff team, and personal connection and honesty with customers. I will be graduating from college in two months and upon looking more into the workforce and engaging in consumerism myself, I have come to the stark realization that this is not at all the case- but it should be! Wouldn’t that be something?
I am so honored to have been a witness to all the behind the scenes work that my parents have put into this business over the last 22 years and would be lying through my teeth (or keyboard, here) to say that they shouldn’t be proud of what they have created. On the contrary, my dad always remains humble and hardworking, no matter what other hefty hurdles life...
Read moreOver at least 20 years I have gone to Rod at Geity’s Amish Country for furniture. I feel bad for not going more. But see it is his own fault. They sell “forever” furniture. You only need to buy so many beds, dressers, desks,mantles, wall units, and our last purchase was a beautiful dining set (3 years ago). We did buy a end table on line, about a year ago, to match the furniture we got for our new condo 12-13 years ago. Rod insisted coming out to our home to check stain, and other small intricacies to make sure the new creation would match. This was not a $1000 purchase for this small end table. To buy furniture for the same room 10 years apart and match perfectly is a huge advantage. You want your end tables, wall units to match. Both in wood grain, color, and style. That is what we got. Also the custom sizing to fit that perfect area is another great reason to shop GACF. The quality of the workmanship is unmatched. In my business I traveled through Pa. and All over Ohio. Right here in Columbus you can get that custom solid Amish furniture, and exactly what you want. (Modern or Traditional) When I purchased our dining set they had the perfect set on the floor at a great price. Unfortunately it was too big for our area and we had to have another, only smaller built. Rod extended the same percentage sale price to us! I am a plus size guy and most chairs I need the arms to help boost me up as I have leg issues. Rod made a design that bolted and re-enforced the arms. By appearance you would never know but in the case of tornado these are the chairs to sit in. (LOL) My brother not being a real Wood lover like us, has his entire patio in their Poly Furniture. A glider, rocker, table , 2 chairs and 2 chaise lounges. They are beautiful and again forever. I am not related, not sure they would even remember me, but I came across this web site and felt this was 15-20 years late in...
Read moreMy wife and I bought our solid cherry bedroom furniture (dresser, armoire, and 2 bedside tables) from Amish Country Furnishings 30 years ago. We worked directly with the owner, Rod Geitgy, and were immediately impressed with the quality, value as well as customized choices (style, type of wood and stain color). The furniture looks just as great today as it did when we bought it 30 years ago.
When we started to build a new home last fall, we furnished the entire home from Amish Country Furnishings, including upholstered pieces from top furniture makers like Harden. Rod Geitgy and his staff worked closely with us to custom design every room to according to our vision. Even though we searched many other furniture stores in the beginning of our building process, Amish Country Furnishings could not be beat for the value, quality and customized choices.
We love our new home and everyone wants to know who our designer is and where we got our furniture.
If you want to get great value for your money and high quality furniture that will last for decades, you owe it to yourself to check out Amish Country...
