Valley View Oak offers 45 dining furniture collections, giving you an amazingly wide choice. The company was founded in 1989 in Millersburg, Ohio, and each piece is handcrafted from American hardwoods by Amish and Mennonite artisans. The secret of its high quality and the possibility of customizing your dining room furniture to suit you lies in the fact that each piece is handmade just for you.
Each of the 45 ‘collections’ is based on what has been done in the past for other clients. While you can select a collection as presented, you can also mix pieces from different collections to suit your needs. The collections cover a wide range of dining room furniture styles, ranging from the simplicity of Shaker and early American styles to the cyma legs of the French and heavy ornate Victorian furniture styles.
Valley View Oak Options
Each piece is made of hardwood with a total of 22 different finishes to choose from, so you’re sure to find something to match your existing decor. You have a choice of four table shapes, including an octagonal table, which is a great way to seat eight people at a dinner party. Add to that five table leg styles and a pedestal option, and you won’t leave Valley View Oak feeling like your options are limited!
You can choose the base of your chairs according to your preferences: you can choose the normal four-legged base, a swivel bar stool base or a 5-star caster base. Most opt for the regular four legs for their dining room, but select one of the options for their bar or den. Their tables can be fitted with concealed extension leaves or storage leaves along with a leaf storage cabinet for those larger dinner parties.
Construction of dining room furniture
The construction of each piece of furniture is carried out using the correct methods of joining the wood. Therefore:
• Mortise and tenon joints are used for rails.
• The four corners of each drawer are connected by dovetail joints.
• English dovetails are used for maximum strength.
• Cabinet backs mount flush and secure with screws instead of pins or staples.
• Raised panel doors are equipped with metal spacer balls to allow expansion and contraction to occur without the usual rattling and cracking of wood.
• Tables with legs instead of pedestals are equipped with screwed interlocking wooden corner pieces to reinforce the structure.
• Table edges are taped to prevent loosening.
• Clearcoats are cured using catalysts for maximum durability.
Sheds and Cabinets
A variety of armoires and wall cabinets are available, including a dining corner cabinet and a dining room server. It is also possible to have your own cabin or cabinet built to your personal specifications. Just give Valley View Oak a call and find out how to design and build each individual piece of your furniture for you.
There are 28 server, buffet and sideboard styles, ranging from the ornate Queen Anne cabriolet style to a simple Mission Shaker server. You can also choose from 69 cabins in the ‘standard’ range. 16 of these are corner sheds to make the most of that corner of your room that normally just collects dust. The other 53 offer you a wide variety of display cabinets and sideboards, some in the form of sideboards designed to be placed on top of sideboards and sideboards.
