Meet the Maker
Meet the Maker
Our network of Amish workshops across Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are more than our makers, they've in many cases become friends. We admire their dedication to their craft and are honored to have them building heirloom quality furniture for us. Their tradition of craftsmanship means they enjoy creating beautiful furniture for your family to enjoy, create memories around, and pass on to future generations of your family.
Build and Delivery Time Frames
Build and Delivery Time Frames
Please allow 8-10 weeks for building and an additional 1-2 weeks for shipping, for a total of 10-12 weeks. If your time constraint is a bit shorter, check out any item titled Express Ship for items in our most popular styles and finishes, stocked and ready to leave on the next truck from Amish country. Express items can usually be delivered in 4-6 weeks, depending on trucking schedules.
Materials and Construction
Materials and Construction
All of our wood furniture is made with timeless woodworking techniques passed down over generations. All solid North American hardwoods are used, harvested from sustainably managed forests and kiln-dried before building. We send your order into a friendly office, where it is printed out on paper with your name on it and delivered to the family workshop that specializes in that particular piece. The craftsman takes the order with all of its information and builds it to your specifications. From there it heads to the finishing shop, where it is double-checked for quality, and stained if needed. Our post-catalyzed lacquer is then added in a triple-sanded process for a buttery smooth finish.
Sample Information
Sample Information
Monitor settings can vary, and colors look different in your home than on your screen. Check out our collection of wood samples here. Order as many as you like, shipping is always free on samples and you can return them anytime for a refund or credit toward your purchase. For items with fabric, check out our selection of fabrics here.
Warranty
Warranty
Amish furniture is built to last, period. We warrant that your furniture will be free from defects for your lifetime. If your furniture isn't exactly what you ordered, we'll make it right. If it develops a split or crack, we'll have it rebuilt. If a drawer slide fails 15 years from now, we'll replace it. Just keep in mind that wood is a natural material that has intrinsic variations and will age and patina over time, which we believe adds to its beauty and is not considered a defect. Keep in mind, solid wood is always breathing. We do recommend that you keep humidity in your home around 35-40% to prevent any warping or shrinking.
Build and Delivery Time Frames
Build and Delivery Time Frames
12-16 Weeks. 8 weeks to build, shipping is the wildcard. We usually get a truck every month. Due to challenges created by Covid-19, we are unable to guarantee any time frame. The above estimate is based on the last completed delivery, and conversations with our vendor. Feel free to reach out with questions on current lead times or specifics on any item.
Warranty
Warranty
Our Amish craftsmen are proud of their work, and will always stand behind it. We offer a lifetime warranty on all of our Amish made solid wood furniture against any defects in the item for the lifetime of the buyer.
Shipping and Returns
Shipping and Returns
Shipping Policy:
In-stock items:
UPS Ground or USPS regular shipping is free on all orders over $250, except furniture. Shipping of orders under $250 is a flat $9.99. Shipping of samples is always free.
Unfortunately we cannot offer express shipping, due to the handcrafted nature of our items.
We are a small staff but we try very hard to ship out all in-stock items within a maximum of two days of receiving your order. We will email you with tracking information as soon as your item(s) are shipped.
Made-to-order items:
Time frames vary widely by item, depending on degree of customization and item type. Please refer to individual product pages for specific lead time information on a particular item. If you order any made-to-order item, once we have submitted your order to our maker and have you in the queue, we will reach out to you with an estimated ship date for your order.
Free Pickup:
If you live in (or would like to visit!) the Denver metro area, you’re always welcome to pick up online orders at our store during store hours at no charge. We'd love to meet you!
Furniture orders are available for pickup at our shared warehouse space, where our friendly staff can help you load your vehicle.
Furniture Delivery Rates:
We offer flat rate shipping regardless of the size of order or number of items.
For Denver orders (within 60 miles of our shop), our white glove delivery service includes bringing your items safely inside the home, situating them in place and setting them up properly for $99. Removal of existing furniture is not included, but we are happy to set it up for you with advance notice for a fee.
Deliveries outside of our local radius are handled by our network of trucking partners and include doorstep delivery for a flat rate of $99 regardless of order size. Since these routes are typically served by a single driver, we cannot include inside setup. You will have to arrange to bring your furniture to your room of choice and set up as needed. We are happy to help guide you through the setup and are working on videos to make it simple! (only dining tables, cribs, beds and some desks require setup).
When your furniture ships, we will call you to collect any remaining payments due and hand off your order information to our trucking partner, who will contact you to arrange a delivery time and let you know what to expect. So please be sure that the contact information on your order will be correct at the time you expect your furniture to be ready, or give us a call to update it if needed.
Return Policy:
We are a small company who prides ourselves on lifelong relationships with our customers. We always strive for complete satisfaction, but we must stay in business in order to keep serving our customers. Therefore, we had to develop certain policies.
We maintain a 30-day return policy on any stock or express ship furniture. Return shipping and delivery fees will be deducted from your refund.
For any customized item: Should you discover a manufacturing defect or damage upon delivery, please notify us with 48 hours of delivery and we will arrange a repair or replacement. Items may be picked up or repaired on site, free of charge.
Please Note: Customized merchandise cannot be returned. The beauty of natural materials is the variations of color and grain. Variations in color and grain do not constitute a defect. A 50% deposit is required at the time of purchase; Final balance is collected before delivery.
Please Note: Discontinued and Clearance items cannot be returned or exchanged. Before finalizing your purchase, please verify clearance measurements of doors, stairways, elevators and hallways. Purchases are not refundable should your ordered items not fit through these areas.
Storage: If you are unable to take delivery of your items when they are ready, no problem! We'll be happy to store them for you for a fee, calculated based on the size of the items and the time needed. If you have any questions contact us at info@modernbungalow.com

Hear From Our Satisfied Shoppers
The framed tile of the Nutcracker is absolutely wonderful. I had bought one from you a couple of years ago for my brother for Christmas and ever since then I wanted one for myself. You have the most beautiful items in your store, and I throughly enjoy visiting your website frequently!
I'll tell you what, if you're looking for reasonably prices, authentic Amish-made furniture this is the place to go. Everything they have in their showroom is gorgeous! The owner Matt is a great guy and won't steer you wrong. Check out their virtual tour on Google to get a good idea of the style of furniture they sell. Highly recommend!
We were absolutely thrilled with our new lamps. Delivery was extremely quick. The packaging was superb and both lamps arrived in perfect condition, which, given the nature of glass shades, was of concern to us. My wife and I were extremely impressed with Modern Bungalow’s customer service in regard to our order and will not only be sure to consult their offerings as we progress in the renovation of our home, but will strongly encourage our friends to do so as well.
Thank you very much for a very pleasant online buying experience.
Love this place. Their pottery artists are so good and varied in style and just the feeling you get walking around the store makes you want to kick back and chill. We bought a mirror and pottery and a lamp, and oh! it was so much fun!! Staff was fantastic.
I want to thank all of the team at Modern Bungalow. I purchased a rug and bed frame from them. The reactions from family and friends is a total thumbs up!!! I’m so happy to have discovered this store. Best wishes to all at Modern Bungalow!!!
The gingko sage rug is even more beautiful than we imagined. Soft, well-made and we are sure it will last a lifetime! It is perfect for our 1930's bungalow! Thank you for your helpful service and speedy delivery!
