    Aaron,

    Thanks for your thoughts. I will be dealing directly with the Amish builder for my office furniture, not a middle man, retailer or online dealer. I will actually be
    driving out to his shop in rural lancaster county to look at his showroom, pick my wood choice, touch, feel and inspect his work and hopefully order custom
    sized computer flat top desk, matching hutch and 2 drawer lateral file cabinet. He also invited me to inspect his shop personally and show me around. Its
    himself and 4 other men.

    By the way, even through the vast majority of the Amish woodworking shops do NOT have websites, more and more of them are having online catalogs created
    by web designers they hire.

    I think the two larger Amish online dealers like Dutchcrafters and Amish Avenue are reputable, honest businesses. I, personally, would not buy from them, as I really
    need to be able to touch, feel and inspect the furniture and verify the build quality for such a large dollar purchase.
