Shipshewana, IN (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

Weaver Furniture Sales has always been proud of partnering with Amish Furniture craftsmen in the Midwest, but the hand of friendship now extends into the Blue Ridge Mountains to the unique furnishings of Charleston Forge. The shared love of quality, hand-crafted furniture with an emphasis on customization and the commitment to family and community made Weavers and Charleston Forge an ideal relationship.

“Weaver’s is excited for the opportunity to work with Charleston Forge in bringing furnishings from the Blue Ridge Mountains right into the heart of Amish country in the Midwest,” states Ida Weaver, owner.

Weavers traces its roots to 1989 when owner LeRoy Weaver converted the family dairy barn into a furniture showroom. 22 years later, Weavers has become a mainstay in the tiny Amish community of Shipshewana and has shipped regionally-crafted furniture across the country. Similarly, Charleston Forge traces its roots to a humble beginning in 1974 when Art and Susan Barber decided to risk it all to start a furniture shop. Today, their dynamic, innovative furniture designs have inspired furniture-lovers throughout the country.

A shared commitment to family and the community also makes Weavers and Charleston a great partnership. The Weavers and Barbers each have multiple generations of family working together to create a unique, quality experience for furniture-enthusiasts. In addition, both families work hand-in-hand with local craftsmen using indigenous hardwoods and materials to create furniture designs that are not only beautifully-crafted, but that capture the spirit of home.
