About Us
Who are we?
Located in the small town of Wytheville in southwest Virginia, Dutch Boy Furniture was established in 2001 by Vernon Gingerich who continues to be the owner and manager of the business, and also the father of 9 children and grandfather of two. Our furniture is hand-made by Amish and Mennonite craftsmen in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. In both the manufacturing and finishing, they try to bring forth the character of the wood. The beauty of hardwood is an expression of nature. It is not engineered, nor is it synthetic; its beauty is not only skin deep. Just as every tree in nature is a little different from the next, every product is one of a kind. Solid hardwood furniture is beautiful and functional throughout an entire lifetime and beyond. Enduring designs and quality construction allow these masterpieces to hold its value decade after decade.
Why “Dutch Boy”?
As for the name “Dutch Boy Furniture”, the owner and his family speak a German Dialect in the home called “Pennsylvania Dutch” as a second language. As a boy, this was the first language or dialect that the owner and his family would have learned until they went to school and learned the English language. This is also true about the Amish Craftsmen who make most of the furniture sold at “Dutch Boy”.
