Well I appreciate the effort to provide help but the barn furniture 3 drawer amish night stand - similar to a Stickley model - is actually a a couple hundred more expensive as are all the similar nightstands. Not sure if its because my zip is OH and Barn Furniture is California or what but that was a bit shocking. Barn Furniture more expensive than Stickely:)

I don't know about the price of it but Harden carries a line of mission furniture; it might be worth checking out.

Mary, Have you looked at shelllakefurniture.com? They make mission furniture, they are in Wisconsin and the quality is very good, prices are reasonable. Don't know if they have the right type of nightstand, though.

Since you are in Ohio... you probably have MANY options for locally made Amish furniture.

I do (have the Amish option) here in PA... and found the quality to be excellent!

I can see why you like the Stickley. What sells me on Stickley is that the drawer fronts are made from one piece of wood--i couldn't find this in any Amish line. It looks better/cleaner/classier. I also really liked the wood side glides plus wood center glide they use-- 3 points of support, although the drawer is not supposed to touch the bottom. It was "fun" to open and close the drawers, felt really balanced and permanent. Every drawer I opened after that, even Henkel Harris, was a let down. The sales lady at the Stickley store actually pulled out the bottom drawer of a dresser about 18 inches and stood on it, did a few little jumps right in the drawer, does it every day, with no breakage. I haven't seen that in any other store either. The thing I didn't like about Stickley was that when you pull a drawer out, you can see that the case piece is not entirely stained! I mean, right on the front where the drawer sits--why would they do that???. A salesman who no longer sells Stickley told me that they made some changes (downgrades) a few years ago that they thought the customer would not notice, this being one of them. If you read the arts and crafts forums, all the craftsmen there hate modern Stickley and wouldn't have it in their house. They are disgusted with the "downgrades". They recommend Warren Hile and Voorhees furniture (both made in CA and way pricier than Stickley sale price.

Here is what else I found in my search:

Simply Amish: Nice, but pricier than Stickley, and I don't see it having the same resale value

Borkholder (Amish) I found it to be pricier than Stickley, but they have the wood side glides that Stickley uses (but no middle glide underneath the drawer as Stickley has).

These next ones are steps down from Stickley (imo) but the prices are also much better:

Durham Furniture--Mallard Creek and Artisan Oak lines (the finish is icky on this one) The master dresser was $2000 less than the Stickley master dresser on sale.

Chatham Furniture--Kittery Point line ($1000 less)

www.missionliving.com-- looks like the Barnyard Furniture type store listed above, with several lines offered, including Warren Hile, but you get FREE SHIPPING and the website is much easier to navigate as far as comparing what they have (sorry, leontuberman!). This is not a personal recommendation as I haven't ordered anything from them but it is worth looking at.

In the end I agree with the above poster--if you live in Ohio, no need to order anything sight unseen, online! You must have nightstands all around you!

Thanks for the tips. I was excited to see Durham, I had forgotten about them.
Bad news when I googled them though. They are in financial trouble and closing a plant and restructuring. Really too bad.
Voorhees - whoa! Delicious stuff, way pricey. Working my way through some of the others.
As for Amish in Ohio - yes, but not right around here. There is one retailer not too far from me, not too big, nothing there really lit me up.

Oh no!

Thank you for finding that...Durham is recommended so much on this board I hope people do a search to find this...

I found another fun site:

I've dealt with them in the past & have access to many builders down Ohio way & others. Prices are very reasonable compared to other outlets that carry the same lines.

we've purchased numerous pieces from our local Amish Furniture Shoppe (link below) and loved them. the quality and finish isn't quite as nice as our stickley dining table and chairs, but it's pretty close, and at about a third of the price.

i've also purchased a number of small side tables and taboret-type tables from small craftsman on ebay that i've been extremely happy with. one guy, in particular, who's in michigan. i can't remember his name right off the top of my head, but there are some talented people making some beautiful stickley-grade furniture and selling it for way less money than stickley charges.

whoops, forgot to attach the link

On the news here in Dayton an Amish furniture place downtown shut its doors abruptly, quit answering calls and went into foreclosure/bankruptcy.
