Personal Attention
Plain and Simple Amish Furniture provides a comfortable and generally relaxed atmosphere for you to browse, lounge, and shop for heirloom quality, solid hardwood furniture produced in the Midwest. Three of the store’s owners work closely with the operations of the store, assuring you of knowledgeable and flexible staff with which to fill your furniture needs. Our owners and sales staff are available to you in the store and by phone, email, and home visits as needed to consult with you and determine how your desires can best be fulfilled.
Customizing and Design development
Do you see a piece of furniture that you want but it just will not quite fit in that space in your home you are shopping for? Have you seen a piece of furniture somewhere else that you can’t find now or is no longer available? Do you have an idea for a piece of furniture that is unique in size or function?
Our staff can assist you with each of these problems. Many catalogue pieces can be custom modified by the original producers. If not, we have other producers who specialize in custom and one of a kind furniture.
One of our staff members will sit down with and discuss your particular needs and desires. If it is to modify a standard piece, often our sales persons can write up the changes in design and confirm with a producer if the changes can be easily made.
For custom pieces, built-in units, and complex designs, Ronn will meet with you, discuss your ideas, and draw up computer-aided drawings for you to review and approve. Once approved, we can get a price quote from a producer for you so you can make your decision.
Delivery
Plain and Simple Amish Furniture can arrange for delivery of all your purchases from the store showroom and from the producers. Standard delivery includes delivery to the final placement of the furniture in your home. For locations in Cook, DuPage, and Lake Counties, the delivery fee is 5% of the purchase price, $45 minimum. For locations in McHenry, Kane, and Will Counties and beyond, additional charges may be required.
Curbside delivery is also possible for a reduced fee.
Some pieces of furniture, such as beds and tables, require assembly. An assembly charge of $20.00 is added for such pieces.
Limited shipping options are also available. Ask one of the Managing Owners about these options.
Working closely with you the customer, Ronn Frantz on the Plain and Simple staff does custom design work for home and office items like kitchen and wall cabinets, built-in desk and office complexes, and much more.
Installation
Plain and Simple Amish Furniture can arrange for installation of custom furniture, cabinets, mirrors, and other accessories. Installation of custom furniture and cabinetry often involves precise measurement of existing conditions prior to the production of the furniture pieces. Ronn will come to your home to discuss your plans and arrange for precise measurements of your space, delivery of your items to your home, and for the installation of the pieces in your particular space. Before you place your order, Plain and Simple Amish Furniture will prepare a proposal for you with detailed specifications letting you know just what will be done and what the cost will be.
