Did you know...that the term bench originally referred backless, long wooden seating. It may have been moveable or fixed in place. Benches were the usual seating for "common folk," with chairs reserved for society's elite (hence the term "chairman"). Early benches were very simple, consisting of a plank supported by solid ends.
Benches evolved over time into what was called a "settle," with legs extending up past the seat to form sides and a back.
Whether supported by solid ends or individual legs, made with squared or splayed supports, square, chamfered, or turned legs, benches today come in limitless styles and designs.
Concentrated years of Amish design and craftsmanship have resulted in a re-creation of vintage styling. Look closely and you will notice the attention to detail offered in these beautifully handcrafted Amish chairs. Just like the original creations these pieces are built to last for generations.
