You may have heard of the Amish Store in Balderson for the fine, sturdy, and well built furniture they offer for sale. However, you may not know that they have started building kitchens. YES - KITCHENS! Their creations are absoluty divine! I was convinced to use their services simply by what they have on display. I thought we could buy what they were showing, bring it home and put it in, but then we talked to Debbie... OMG what an experience! She came to our house, measured the space, and asked us what features we wanted to put in our own kitchen, then drew it all out on paper. The price of the quote she was able to provide us was very comparable to what other companies are offering even though this kitchen is all hand made, but it was also soooo much more - begining with the fact that it was built out of solid wood instead of pressboard or melamine. Add to that the many features built into it, which puts this kitchen way over and above what anyone else is offering! This kitchen MAKES the house! Put it this way: where most kitchen design companies and box store cabinet providers charge for any improvements over the shape of your boxy cabinets, the Amish store will build cupboards that fit in your kitchen, and will include so called upgrades such as that little shelf below the sink to hold rubber gloves, sponges, and your jewellery while you wash dishes; a spice drawer with shelves in it; pot drawers; recycling containers; up and down slats to hold your bakeware; and a roll-out cutting board and anything else you can think of. If you are considering kitchen designs - whether to upgrade your current kitchen, or for a new home build - I strongly urge you to compare with what the Amish Store has to offer. And PS: If by chance you have NOT heard of them, I strongly suggest you make a trip out to see them - even if you're not looking for a kitchen or furniture! Balderson is an enjoyable drive out in the country. Why not make a day of it? Take in the cheese shop, grab a bite to eat in the cafe, or go to the local tea room. Shop for souvenirs across the street. And let us know what you think of it!! read more

I wish I could write something positive about this store because the merchandise is certainly amazing and high quality. Last spring, I sent an e-mail through the store's "contact us" with an inquiry and received no reply. So, in the summer, I drove to Balderson and spoke with a sales person who, at the time, was unable to give me a price on the table and chairs that I wished to order. She took my name and e-mail address in order to send the information to me. Well, I have never received an e-mail or telephone call. I am surprised by the lack of respect for a potential customer. I had planned to buy multiple rooms of furniture but given the lack of respect I have been shown, I won't be returning. I'll take my business to a store which shows some respect for its customers. read more

A total nightmare from beginning to end- still waiting for the end in fact. Last fall we purchased a mirror at the store. When we got it home we noticed in the light that the spot on the wood where the tag was attached on the front of the mirror was a different colour and marked. This was unacceptable for the price of the article. We phoned to tell them and further that we were going away for 2 months. They suggested we take it to the store when we got back so in March we returned the mirror. An hour later having waited while the sales man tried to repair it , he decided that the owner would be better able to fix it. So we left the mirror. We called repeatedly about it.They decided they couldn't fix it so ordered a new one. We were told they would order a new one and it would be in in 8 weeks. Well March passed and April passed and May passed. ( 9 or 10 weeks) Each times we called long distance there was a new reason why it wasn't there yet. All June we waited. They went down to pick up other stuff but it still wasn't ready. July is now here. They forgot to check with the finisher the other day when we phoned but when it was ready we could have ice cream on them. Yea right!!!!!The salesman ate ice cream and cookies while working on the piece in the middle of the store. Not very professional. So here we wait 17 weeks later. Never once has the owner of the store connected with us by email or phone to apologize, give us a progress report etc. Not once through this entire process had anyone from the store actually phoned from the store to give us an update or explanation of the delay. They just don't care at all. They don't care how long you have to wait while they fiddle around with your item etc. We had lunch several times there while waiting on different occasionsThey have . My daughter drove out of her way once to pick it up only to be told it wasn't ready. They have no customer respect for our time and energy as we live 4 hours from the shop.We will never shop there again . It is a neat shop but let me tell you it is not worth the drive off Highway 7. There are now lots of shops selling Amish furniture that are keen and eager to please their customers and appreciate their business. They have a much more professional and caring attitude. They do call back .We are thoroughly disgusted with the shoddy treatment we have received. read more
