This is Why We Do It
Spurred by our own frustration with traditional furniture
shopping options, the owners of Woodbine Furniture Company have established a
unique alternative for the furniture shopper in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex.
Below you will find customer testament to what we have achieved at Woodbine
Furniture.

Greg, I cannot begin to thank you enough for the new bedroom suite that I got this month. I have been buying items from your store for about the last 10 years, but this was the first really big purchase. The quality of this furniture is so good. this is the best furniture that I have ever owned. All four pieces fit in my bedroom and I still have room to walk around.
The guys Dennis and Taylor that delivered the furniture were so good. They took such good care of each and every piece of furniture when setting up in my bedroom. My old bedroom suite had to be carried out and put in the garage, which they did for me. Both of them were so thoughtful and kind.
Again, thank you so very much for the very good service that I have received from your store.
Regards,
|

Our bedroom just isn't
furniture-friendly. With one wall full of windows and one full of doors,
switches, and knobs, that only leaves two usable walls for furniture. Our quest
for new bedroom furniture was always met with disappointment. An artist friend
suggested we look at Woodbine. Amish-made furniture, sounds really well-made,
but it would probably look best in a farmhouse, not our suburban home with its
contemporary furnishings, right? Oh my goodness have you seen the catalog?!!
Woodbine carries a multitude of styles of solid, beautifully-made furniture, and
each style is available for every conceivable spot throughout your home. That
means that once you determine the style you like best, you are not limited to
the four or five pieces most manufacturers might make, for instance, to furnish
a bedroom. For us, that meant coordinating a fantastic, storage-providing TV
stand with an elegant bed and various chests that perfectly balance the room.
The choices of sizes and custom options met our every need. Shopping at Woodbine
was a great experience! |

My sister introduced me to Woodbine and
your fine Amish furniture when I moved from California to Texas a few months
ago. She took me to the Keller store so I could order a hutch, and a wonderfully
knowledgeable salesperson taught me about such things as quarter sawn oak, the
durability of the various woods and finishes, and so on. After ordering the
hutch, I was disappointed to learn that it would be 8-10 weeks before delivery.
But it was worth the wait! The beauty and quality are outstanding. People who
see the hutch think it's an heirloom, and it may as well be, because I'm sure it
will be handed down through many generations. Needing other furniture, I checked
out other stores in the area, but everthing I saw looked so cookie-cutter and
mediocre compared to Woodbine. So now I eat my delicious Amish blueberry jam and
apple butter sitting on my beautiful Amish kitchen chairs. Then I go into the
living room where reside 2 unique end tables and a coffee table, select a book I
take from my stunning double bookcase, and settle into the most comfortable
rocker I have ever sat in - all thanks to Woodbine. I even have a cleverly
designed Amish wastebasket. Anyone looking for beautiful, quality furniture
that's a joy to own, to touch and to constantly admire need look no farther than
Woodbine! |

My husband and I bought our first two
pieces of Simply Amish furniture while we were living in Champaign, Illinois. We
loved visiting the small Illinois towns were the Amish lived, seeing their
simple life which seemed so much less chaotic than ours, and buying furniture
that was made in a slower-paced environment with attention to detailed quality.
We moved back to the North Texas area last December and needed some
furniture pieces for our new home. This was when we found Woodbine selling
Simply Amish furniture. Since then, we have purchased a new bed for our master
bedroom and a dresser for our first child’s nursery. Our wish list is still full
of other pieces that we hope to add over the years. We are thrilled to know that
as we buy these Amish pieces, we are investing in quality furniture that will be
family heirlooms for future generations! |

We are so impressed by the friendly
service and help of the Woodbine Keller staff.
The surface of our
beautiful dining table was badly damaged.
Entertaining 18 visitors,
called for a tablecloth, under cloth and thick paper plates. We served scorching
hot lasagne which left white circular marks at each place setting. Had we used
china plates,which usually have a raised ring underneath to help distribute the
heat, this would not have happened.
We contacted the production manager
at Woodbine ,who readily offered some suggestions to remove the marks.
We tried these but were unsuccessful.
Another call to
Woodbine,who quickly collected the table, sent it to the original woodshop and
returned it beautifully refinished. All in one month! Just in time for our next
party.... this time all cold food!!
Our grateful thanks for efficient
and very courtesy service. |

We came to know the Woodbine Furniture
Co. about a year and half ago. After looking everywhere for a long-lasting
quality made all wood dining room table and chairs, we were told about
Amish-made furniture at Woodbine. I checked out the website and requested a
catalog. The catalog was at our house in about 3 days and I was elated and
admittedly overwhelmed by the amount of selection and custom ability Woodbine
provided. I had never seen anything like it. Once we finally made it into the
store, I felt much more at ease. Dennis was very helpful in assisting us in
picking out our custom made dining room table and chairs. We orderedand received
our first Amish-made table in 2007.
About six months later, we went back
to Woodbine to order our hutch that we also custom made to our needs and at the
end ofOctober 2008 we will look forward to receiving our third purchase of high
quality, all wood custom made bedroom furniture from Woodbine Furniture Co.

Five years ago my husband and I shopped
extensively for dining room furniture without agreement or availability of the
style, size or quality that we wanted. My husband wanted solid natural wood and
I wanted a dining room table that would seat all of our family and friends
together for dinner parties since I love to cook and entertain. We converted our
living room into the dining room in order to accommodate large gatherings, so I
wanted furniture that was durable, multipurpose, comfortable, inviting, and
beautiful.
We came upon Woodbine Furniture store in Keller by accident.
My husband and I knew we were in the right place the minute we walked into the
store. The smell and color of natural wood was very beautiful. The selection and
service was excellent. The manager, Greg, at Woodbine came to our home and
measured our room and custom designed our server, hutch and table to fit our
room. The absolute best feature that sold us on Amish furniture was a dining
table that expands to seat 22 people and can be reduced in size to seat only
four. I was also able to provide my own fabric for the chair covers to
coordinate the color with the rest of my house. We have had many wonderful
memories in our dining room with large dinner gatherings only to reduce the size
of the table and later have a dance party for the young and not so young. Our
dining table has been an excellent study room and board game for a house full of
teenagers.
My husband and I were so satisfied with the quality,
delivery, setup, and service of our dining room that we ordered custom designed
furniture for my husband’s office which included bookshelves, cabinets, desk,
and filing cabinets. We have received many compliments on our furniture and as a
result of seeing our gorgeous dining room and office furniture several of our
friends have made similar purchases for their homes. |

We ordered a custom bed and
Tempur-Pedic® Sleep System from your store. After waiting many weeks, it was
finally delivered the afternoon before we were leaving to visit my mother in
Illinois. The gentlemen set up the bed and we were very pleased with how it
turned out. During our stay in southern IL, we decided to take a trip to Arcola,
IL. We very much enjoyed the Amish country and stopped in many shops. We asked
around until we finally found who had actually made our bed. We went to his shop
in Arthur, IL. Steve Kauffman was gracious enough to show us his shop, Douglas
County Wood Products, and allowed us to watch him and his workers, mostly his 10
children, craft their fine furniture. Steve mentioned that the owner/buyer of
Woodbine happened to be in town for a meeting. He gave us directions to the
community center and lucky for us, we got to meet him too. (I'm sorry I've
forgotten the name.) All the way from Texas, we meet in Illinois! Not only did
we get a bed we love, we have great memories of our little side trip!!

I always enjoyed getting to visit the
Woodbine store located on Davis Blvd.
The furniture that I have bought
from them has always been what I needed at that time. I have been buy two walnut
tables that are so beautiful, one is setting in my bedroom with a live plant,
and the other one is in the living room. Both are perfect for each room.
Then I also have a Birdseye maple Shaker box that I love and I plan to
buy some more from them.
Every time I visit this store, I am always made
to feel welcome and I love to just look around.
I have not bought any of
the large pieces, but have looked at the bedroom suites and was impressed by the
way that the pieces were constructed. I look at the construction of the drawers
and the way they open and this is not seen in furniture that is purchased from a
(typical) furniture store. |

When my frugal husband and I were first
married in 1982, we had a lot of "old lady" furniture. So we used one of those
ugly 6 foot brown church tables for our kitchen table. Then after 10
years,another old ladygave us her maple table and 5 scratched chairs. For our
25th wedding anniversary I wanted an Amish kitchen table and chairs. We looked
around and found an ad for a great sale atWoodbine in theKeller, Texas store. We
walked in and saw the beautiful Farmhouse table on display, sat down and looked
it over, and felt the wonderful smoothness and admired the finish even on the
underside. There was a beautiful Lazy Susan on the table which matched the red
oakfinish on the table. We were able to look at all styles of chairs to go with
our table and we chose 6. The saleslady was fun, not pushy, and when my husband
and I finally agreed we wanted the table, I asked her if she would throw in the
Lazy Susan and she very kindly agreed! We love our table and look forward to
having grandchildren around it and making many happy memories in the future.
Thank you Woodbine! Patience has its merits! |

Three years ago, as a newly married
couple in our early 20’s, we decided to start saving for our first bedroom set.
We agreed to buy quality heirloom furniture even if it meant we couldn’t buy it
all at once. Woodbine Furniture was the perfect fit for our needs: simple
timeless pieces designed with choice of wood type, stain color, and style. We
even had the option of purchasing a piece today and then 6 or 9 months later
buying an additional matching piece without wondering if it would still be
available. After moving into our first home last spring, we discovered Woodbine
blends into any home’s existing décor whether it’s contemporary, casual country,
European classic, or American formal. The furniture is finely constructed, and
the craftsmanship superior. We’re hoping to start a family soon, and we envision
an Amish nursery in our future! |

My house in Southlake had burned down
during a summer lighting storm, when I was away on a weekend vacation. I was in
the process of rebuilding and refurnishing my home. Among my losses included a
beautiful solid teak desk and cupboard that had followed me through several
cities in Asia and Texas, until I chose to make Southlake my home.
I was
thinking of getting solid wood shelves and a desk. I walked into Woodbine and
they offered to place orders for the custom bookshelves with the Mennonites
south of Waco.
They came to my home while it was still under
construction, to take measurements for the bookshelves. They looked at the
custom cabinetwork of the kitchen and entertainment center. They suggested that
I could save time and money by ordering solid (100%) ply wood cabinets with the
same custom cabinetmaker.
I took their suggestion and placed the order
for bookshelves with my home custom cabinetmaker. This enabled me to save a
third of the cost on the bookshelves, enabling me to be able to afford the much
nicer desk, which I wanted. Not only that but also the bookshelves were ready at
the same time my house was ready. And the fixed bookshelves, which would convey
with the house if I ever moved again, were not as large an investment as the
solid wood desk, which can follow me if and when I move again!
They
(Woodbine employees) were really looking out for the best value long term
solution for me, the customer, more than their revenue or profits.
Thank
you Woodbine! |

I had been searching for a dining room
table and chairs when I couldn't find anything of any kind of quality at any
store. Then I found your store. From the moment I walked in your store, I knew I
had come to the right place. All of the furniture was beautiful and of heirloom
quality. I especially liked the clean lines. Whenever I look at my table, I
smile because I know I have the best possible I could buy. I also liked that I
could customize my table and chairs with different legs, wood types, and many
different stains.
I wanted a piece of furniture that I could hand-down
to my children that would look good for many years to come. Woodbine has
provided me with just that and I will definitely purchase my next piece from
you. Thank you for your one-on-one customer service and attention to detail!
This is lacking out in the retail world these days. |

Our home is a living testimonial to
Woodbine’s quality Amish hand-made furniture. We have 19 large pieces, including
living room, dining room, bedroom, office, and kitchen. We also have numerous
shaker boxes and toys. The larger pieces were custom built with our choice of
hardwood, i.e. oak, cherry, maple, and hickory. We chose the stain from the
large variety of stains offered at Woodbine. The larger pieces were delivered by
very capable Woodbine employees. Who exercised the greatest care while setting
up the furniture. We have felt very lucky that Woodbine has provided excellent
customer service when needed.
Our relationship with Woodbine Furniture
Company began several years ago when we received a brochure in the mail
advertising a NEW furniture store opening on Davis Boulevard (in Keller TX). The
brochure featured a large roll-top desk. We had been looking for just the right
one for a very long time. Don went to see if this particular desk might be what
we wanted, and so began our wish list. The desk and office chair were first.
Then we ordered a dining room table and chairs. We ordered an end table with a
special drawer for multiple remote controls. That particular drawer style has
even become the standard. As we ordered furniture for the bedroom, the custom
option allowed us to fit every corner. Only one room is left to be “furnished by
Woodbine.” I wonder how long that will take…… |

My Husband & I looked at the Royal
Mission sofa table on Sunday September 9, 2001 and considered purchasing it
along with the coffee table and two end tables. We were married in September of
2000 and wanted to use some our wedding money on quality furniture. After
September 11, 2001 we decided to wait while things around our nation calmed
down. We were so impressed with the Amish as airplanes were grounded, people
were stranded and a lot of businesses came to a screeching halt, yet they
continued on without interruption. We placed our order on Sunday September 23,
2001, our one-year wedding anniversary. We also inquired about getting each
piece fitted with glass to protect the top.
The tables with glass tops
arrived within the time period promised and were absolutely gorgeous. The cherry
wood with natural finish did get darker and richer as time has passed just as
the folks at Woodbine stated when we placed our order. We’re very pleased with
our Amish furniture. We’ve gone back to Woodbine to purchase smaller items and
are always impressed with their customer focus. |

We loved the table we purchased from you
when we lived in Texas, and appreciate the extra time and effort you’ve spent on
this order, allowing us to purchase the matching hutch (while we live in
California). We will enjoy these pieces for many years, as will our children and
grandchildren. Thank you, again, for all you’ve done. |

Should you be looking for solid wood
custom furniture, look no further than Woodbine Furniture Company, in Keller,
Texas. The Woodbine employees are knowledgeable and friendly and have a
no-pressure attitude. From bedroom and dining room furniture to pie safes and
rocking horses, each and every piece of Amish furniture is an individual work of
art, and a timeless heirloom. Woodbines’ Amish furniture can be ordered to your
specifications to include choice of wood and choice of stain. Furniture such as
dining room chairs, may be added at a later date, with full assurance that the
pieces will match. |

A couple of years ago my wife and I were
looking for new bedroom furniture. We had made a number of visits to various
stores that sold furniture, and had located some pieces we felt would work in
our home.
A friend from our church mentioned that before we made a
decision we should visit the Woodbine Furniture showroom. She told us that after
her first visit she had decided any furniture she purchased in the future would
come from Woodbine Furniture.
During our first visit to the Woodbine
Furniture showroom we were also impressed. We were impressed with the genuine
friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, and quality, beauty and uniqueness of
the furniture. We did not make a decision to purchase furniture during that
visit but during that following week we knew we had found the furniture we were
seeking.
We returned to Woodbine a few weeks later and purchased a
beautiful bedroom set. After its construction the delivery of the furniture
continued to show the quality that Woodbine Furniture puts into all of its
business activities. The furniture was delivered in flawless condition (no
scratches, dings or dents).
We could not have asked for a better buying
experience, and we also now know that our future furniture purchases will be
made with Woodbine Furniture Company. |

My wife and I had been searching for a
unique narrow table for our entrance way. We had visited several furniture
stores and frankly had become frustrated.
When we visited Woodbine
Furniture we were amazed! The good folks at Woodbine were patient, and truly
listened to what we were looking for. They demonstrated quickly a table was
available in the size we needed. Woodbine personnel also took the time to
describe the types of wood available, and what to expect with various wood/stain
combinations.
When are table arrived it exceeded are expectations. The
craftsmanship was apparent and the table will be passed on to our children. More
importantly it was a perfect fit for the entrance way. |

Woodbine's Furniture Beats Competitors'
in Quality
Walking into Woodbine Furniture for the first time, I could
immediately sense quality workmanship and furniture that would fit right in at
any home. I wasn't alone with those thoughts; another customer came in soon
after, looked around, and commented to the saleswoman and me that Woodbine had
the nicest furniture that she had ever seen.
For six years prior to that
afternoon last fall, I had been looking for a new sturdy oak table for my
kitchen. I needed to replace my parents' worn 1950s dinette that I had been
using since I was married 20 years ago.
I wanted an oak table with
turned legs, not a pedestal, with some kind of rounded chair back, and no
upholstery. It was going in the kitchen and I had children that it had to
withstand. I looked at Haverty's, Gabberts, Ware's, Oak Mill and many other
furniture stores for the perfect table, but I didn't find it.
I took
some interior design courses in college and knew about the different kinds of
joints used in furniture. That is what I use to judge manufacturers. If they
don't use dovetailed joints on their case pieces, then I don't buy from them.
Most tables I looked at for my kitchen did not meet my needs or quality
requirements. Too much furniture today is cheaply made and won't last. I want
furniture that will last.
As I said earlier, I spent 6 years looking for
the right table - never satisfied with what I saw - until I entered Woodbine
last fall. I knew the Amish had a reputation for quality workmanship and I could
see it immediately in Woodbine's furniture. I opened some drawers on several
chests and saw the dovetail joints. I ran my hand across the furniture, looked
at its finish, and felt its smoothness. This was the place to buy my table -
this store offered quality workmanship.
I spent the next hour looking at
tables, checking out chairs for style and comfort and looking at stain samples.
I liked the fact that I could pick my wood and stain color - practically
designing the piece. That is not an option at other fine furniture stores. I
bought my table that day and left feeling satisfied and excited. Woodbine had
exactly what I had been searching for.
I could not wait for my table to
arrive. When it finally did a few weeks before Christmas, it was gorgeous. But
the real test came at Christmas. My father-in-law was coming. He has built
furniture and cabinets for himself and others and is particular about
workmanship. I knew he would give his opinion. He didn't just say it was a nice
piece and go on about his business. Instead, throughout his visit he kept
looking it over, rubbing it, and raving about its workmanship. Then he commented
and showed it to other visiting family members and anyone else who came over. If
he thought it was good, then I knew it was good.
Woodbine's staff
offered good customer service during my visits, the sale and delivery. They
answered my questions and let me know when to expect my order. It actually came
in early. When they delivered it, they gently put it together, set it up and
gave it another coat of wax or polish right there. The delivery people also
taught me how to care for my table. Then the company sent a card thanking me for
my business.
I have been so excited about Woodbine and its furniture
that I told my brother and sister about the company and showed them the catalog.
Maybe in time they, too, will become Woodbine customers. |

I feel that our family has had one of
the most wonderful experiences possible, thanks to you.
Last Fall we
found out that we were expecting our first child and being 40 years old we knew
that our life was about to change forever. Our home is filled with beautiful
antiques and loving memorabilia from generations past. We immediately knew that
we wanted to add to our family home a heritage piece that we could pass down to
our child. Once we found your store we knew that we had found the source for our
new piece of furniture.
We immediately fell in love with the Amish
glider. This glider is such a wonderful piece that we were able to select the
finish that matched our little son's Italian cherry wood crib. During the day
when I am feeding him or in the night calming him down for a good nights rest,
the glider so soothingly sends him to sleep. Everyone that has come to our house
comments on the beautiful craftsmanship of the glider and they too "coo" with
delight when they get to rock in the glider.
We want to thank you for
your help in allowing us to select the finish and the style of glider that fits
perfectly into our home. I know that our son will cherish this glider, as will
generations to come. |

My experience with Woodbine Furniture,
and the employees has been exceptional. Almost six years ago my husband saw a
tiny ad in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, and we decided to check it out -
curiosity got the best of us!
We had been looking for a china cabinet
for a couple of months and had gone to numerous stores in our pursuit of the
perfect cabinet.
As we walked through the door, we immediately fell in
love with the quality of the furniture, and the friendly "no-pressure" demeanor
of Dennis. In less than 30 minutes, we had picked out the "perfect china
cabinet."
For Christmas last year, my husband purchased a beautiful
cedar chest from Woodbine, and it is the ultimate!
We are building a new
house, and one of our first stops was Woodbine - to purchase dining room
furniture, to go with our "perfect china cabinet," - which, by the way, still
looks like brand new! The people we talked with pulled the records (from 6 years
ago) to match the style and stain for the new dining room furniture. We
explained that our house would not be completed until the end of October, and
the employees immediately volunteered to order the furniture, and then warehouse
it for us until we are ready to have it delivered! This is true customer-service
- a quality that seems to have vanished from most retail establishments.
Every time we walk through the doors of Woodbine, the employees are
awesome! Dennis still remembers our name, and we never feel pressured to
purchase anything.
You guys have definitely made a customer and friend
for life. The quality of your furniture is far superior to anything we've seen,
and, when coupled with the integrity of the employees of Woodbine - why would
anyone shop anywhere else? |
