American Furnishings

When Ethan Allen just isn’t quite the Americana vibe you’re looking for, the aptly named American Furnishings can get you squared away. Their rustic, industrial (and pre-industrial) craftsmanship is evident in pieces like a cement table stamped “Cincinnati Lithograph Co.” or a steel bar cabinet that, 60 years ago, may have been part of the assembly line at General Motors. Owners Dennis and Denise Blankemeyer proudly declare their furniture to be “Made in Middle America,” with ten workshops set up all over Ohio (the main store is located in Columbus). So, if you’re tired of Gothic Cabinet ripping you off for a piece of knotty pine in the shape of an armoire, sink some money into genuine American craftsmanship. It’s what Grandpa would have wanted.
