My Story
Welcome to Maple & Oak Amish Furniture! My name is Patrick Taha. I grew up in the Midwest, living in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. During my time living in the Midwest, I developed a strong appreciation for the quality and craftsmanship found in solid wood furniture.
More than 25 years ago, my career as a geoscientist in the oil industry brought me to the South, first to Houston, and later to New Orleans. As my interest in American-made hardwood furniture grew, I became especially drawn to the work of Amish craftsmen back in the Midwest. I founded this store with the intention of bringing that level of craftsmanship and quality to the Gulf South.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide our customers with high-quality, solid wood furniture, crafted by Amish woodworkers for beauty and durability. We strive to offer our customers with the same attention to detail that these craftsmen provide by creating a trustworthy, welcoming space to find furniture that can last a lifetime.
Vision & Values
Our vision is to help families create warm, inviting spaces where memories can be made for generations to come.
Our store values are rooted in the same guiding principles of the Amish craftsmen we work with:
Honesty – to show respect to all.
Hard Work – to put our all into every interaction and venture.
Integrity – to maintain our principles and strive to do the right thing.
Our Furniture
Our furniture is designed and crafted with care. The craftsmen we work with draw on generations of woodworking traditions and have adapted their skills to reproduce and interpret a wide range of American furniture styles. Each piece in the showroom is made in the United States, crafted from real hardwood, and selected for its durability, design, and workmanship. Currently, all of the pieces on the floor are sourced from Simply Amish, which is located in Illinois. As we grow, we will add pieces from Amish builders located in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. You can find our furniture through Simply Amish and Amish Collective.
