SOLID WOOD FURNITURE IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA
SHOP SOLID WOOD FURNITURE AT THE FACTORY
The Factory Lighting & Furniture offers solid wood furniture and select Amish-made furniture at our Wilkes-Barre and Dickson City showrooms. Customers can compare wood species, finishes, construction details, comfort, scale, and available customization options in person before deciding what fits their home.
Solid wood furniture can vary significantly in construction, finish, design, and available options. Seeing a piece in person lets you feel the difference, inspect drawers and joints, compare wood grain and stain colors, sit in chairs, and ask questions about the specific furniture you are considering.
WHY DOES AMISH FURNITURE COST MORE?
Amish-made furniture can cost more because the value often comes from the materials, construction, craftsmanship, and customization involved in the piece. On applicable furniture at The Factory, customers can compare solid hardwoods such as oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and elm, along with the details that affect how the furniture looks, feels, and functions.
The difference can be easier to understand in person. When you can touch the wood, sit in a chair, open a drawer, compare finishes, and inspect the construction, you can make a more informed comparison than you can from a product photo alone.

WHAT TO COMPARE IN SOLID WOOD FURNITURE
Solid wood furniture can look similar in photos while differing significantly in materials, construction, finish, comfort, and available options. These are four areas worth comparing before you choose a piece.
WOOD SPECIES & GRAIN
Solid wood species differ in grain, natural color, hardness, and visual character. Depending on the piece, shoppers may be able to compare woods such as oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and elm.
CUSTOMIZATION
Available options vary by product and manufacturer. Depending on the piece, options may include wood species, stain, finish, size, upholstery, configuration, or other details that affect fit and comfort.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Furniture construction affects how a piece is assembled and functions. Look at drawer construction, joints, hardware, case construction, and how doors and drawers operate.
FINISH & COLOR
Wood species can look very different after stain and finish are applied. Comparing finished samples in person helps you evaluate tone, grain visibility, sheen, and how a finish may work with your room.

WHY SHOP SOLID WOOD FURNITURE IN PERSON?
Photos can show style and color, but they do not always show the details that help explain how a piece is built or how it will feel in your home.
At The Factory’s Wilkes-Barre and Dickson City showrooms, you can sit in chairs, open drawers, compare wood grain and finishes, inspect construction details, and see how different pieces look at full scale before making a decision.
For furniture with available customization, the showroom also gives you a place to compare options and ask what may be available for the specific piece or manufacturer you are considering.
