Testimonials

The trunk (toy box) arrived today in fine condition. It is exactly what I wanted and will be used in my living room with some Jim Shore' Noah's Ark figurines on top. Thank you for an excellent addition to my home.

Our son puts his cowboy hat on and just rides! The quality is just amazing. My grown son sat on it and it never even "groaned" with the unintended weight. This is a piece of art that will hopefully become an heirloom that will be used by generations. Thank you so much!

The Cherry Toy Boxes arrived today and they are beautiful.

Expensive but well worth it. Thank the Carpenter/Furniture Maker.

I have to say that in the last year I threw out a bed and a crib that came from screw together kits. They were a waste of wood. I have also thrown out several plastic toy boxes that broke as soon as my boys stood on them. The quality of these chests shines, and they are now the best pieces of furniture in our house. They are a lesson, to my 3 and 9 year old sons, on quality and craftsmanship.
Excellent, work (which honors the wood).

We received the cushion today…it is just beautiful!  Thank you so so very much.  From start to finish, you have provided excellent service.    I really appreciated your assistance throughout the process of the having the hall tree built to getting the cushion for it.  Everything is just beautiful. Thank you again.

Hi Ed, The heart bench for wedding guests to sign arrived in great shape!  We are very pleased!

Dear Ed...   Just a short note to tell you how pleased we our with my wife's jewelry box and my valet. The materials and construction are top notch and the design is exactly what we were looking for. Please pass on my comments to the builder!
Edward, I've been meaning to email you to say thank you so much. The chest is simply even more beautiful in person and larger than I was imagining and I'm so pleased! I won't hesitate to refer friends to your business. Thank you again!
 
Dear Bedford Family,  I just wanted you to know that the doll high chair arrived safely a couple of days ago! Swaddled very securely in bubble wrap, and packed in a large box, it suffered no damage. The high chair is so well made and pretty ... very sweet doll furniture! Truly an heirloom piece. We will see our little granddaughter this week, and we know that she will love the high chair and waste no time in "feeding" her dolls!
 
Hi, Ed.. you were right.. this bread box is beautiful! I love it, Jan loves it and said it was worth the wait. Thank you!
 
Dear Ed and Kathy, just wanted to thank you for the beautiful work you did on our SUNBURST OAK BABY HIGH CHAIR. It was everything we thought it would be. BEAUTIFUL!! Our new grand babies are going to enjoy using it. This will be an item of value we can pass down to our children!! Hope you have a blessed new year. Thanks for your hard work!!

Hi Ed..Thank you for all your help [with the hobby horse]. I know it has not been easy, but the great Grandmother has been on my case since Christmas. She thinks it is beautiful and seems to be a lot nicer than the last one we got for another Great grand child.

Ed.. I just wanted to send you a follow up note and Thank you for all the beautiful furniture that you have blessed us with. I am so excited to receive my new Dining room set's. Here is our Minnesota address again for your convenience. I will be sure to take photo's and send them to you, along with the kitchen knobs we had you make.

Dear Mr. Beford,
I picked up Owen's toy chest tonight from the FedEx location near my home. It arrived in perfect condition and I am thrilled with it. This toy chest is absolutely beautiful, and far exceeded my expectations. This is heirloom quality craftmanship and the toy chest will surely be around for generations to come. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

My candy dispensers were delivered this morning (Friday) in ample time for giving at Christmas. They are beautiful as I knew they would be. Thank you for my shopping experience from placing the order to its delivery. It was a pleasure to do business with you and your family.
Merry Christmas in Christ.
 
Ed, the bookcase is great! Do you make a bookcase with 3 or 4 shelves? Also.. do you make library carts with the top shelf slanted?
Hi, Ed!  .. Just wanted you to know I picked up my rocker at Dayton Freight not too far from me on Wednesday after they called me. I figured it would be easier for me to do that and it was. It looks incredible. The wood grain and the stain is just beautiful. I'm very happy with it and the great service you provided. Thank you once again!

My wife and I wanted to let you know we received the rocking horse today! You did a wonderful job, on the horse and packing it to be shipped... We also wanted to thank-you for your time
and effort to get it to us before Christmas. It'll really make our granddaughter very happy. I was really starting to sweat, thinking I was going to attempt to make one from scrap, I'm not much of a carpenter, but I would've tried.
Again, Thank-You


My desk arrived this morning in good shape. It is beautiful! Thank you so much for your trouble... Sincerely.  
 
The Men's Valet was delivered on Tuesday October 16th about 3:00 pm .Thank you, it looks very nice.

I got my hamper today, thank you so much, it is gorgeous. You do really    great work. :)
 
Ed, FedX just delivered the quilt rack. Nicely packed, no damage. Looks great. Worth the wait. Will return the color samples shortly. Thanks for your help. Hope your day goes well.
 
Hi Ed, the chair was delivered today and it is beautiful!!  It is a gift to my husband who is now undergoing chemotherapy and has not moved from it all day. He says it is extremely comfortable and he loves it. Just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with our purchase and thank you for your help and patience. It was a delight to do business with you.
God bless..

Hi! We received the hope chest on Friday afternoon. Its is lovely! I am very happy. Can't wait to fill it with stuff!
 
Hello, Ed!  We just wanted to emphasize that we really appreciated the craftsmanship on the barstools we received. The stools are both aesthetically pleasing and really comfortable!
 
I received the toy chest and love it!! I know our little Miles will too! Thanks so much for your promptness in processing our order. 
God Bless.....

Ed, I received the chest this morning and I have to say it was worth the wait. I think it is absolutely beautiful. Now I have something beautiful to put my daughters things in. Thank you so much.

Drawer fit and looks perfect. Really appreciate doing business with you, and will definitely recommend your company. Thank you, Ed!

Thank you. The items were received today and opened and look great. (Four swivel hickory saddle stools in natural finish). 

I received the cherry bed steps on Saturday. They are beautiful, just what I was looking for! Thanks so much.
 
Dear Ed,  We received our rocking chair a few days ago and want to convey our surprise and pleasure with the product. It is a great rocking chair that shows excellent workmanship in every aspect! It is a real work of art. We appreciate the the care and attention to detail that the artisan exhibited while completing this order. The packing and shipping was equally well done. Thank you.
 
The toy boxes are absolutely beautiful and are used everyday by my children. They were given to them as gifts by their grandfather, and I am certain that they will remain in our family for our grandchildren and perhaps their children as well.
 
Hi Ed,  The table arrived today, and is beautiful and just what I wanted!
 
I received the hope chest for my daughters high school graduation gift. We both got tears in our eyes as how beautifully your workmanship is! Thank you very much! Jordan and I are so happy and will recommend you to others! Thanks,

Hi Ed.  The cabinet arrived as scheduled last Thursday and it is really nice – very happy with it. The movers are coming on 21/22nd May, so it was very timely. Thanks for your intervention to get it to me and I will take it back to UK – pretty unique I am sure.
 
We love the chairs, they look great on my patio! Thanks for such a quality product! I'm saving up for the ottomans next. :)
 
Ed --  Meant to tell you that the swing arrived on Thursday (!). My wife opened it today; everything was in good condition, and she loves the color and construction. We plan to assemble tomorrow.  Thanks again for your responsiveness and the quick turnaround!
 
Hi, Ed!  I could not be MORE PLEASED with the desk. The Amish know how to build furniture that will last many, many lifetimes. It's sad because this country used to build furniture and many other items as the Amish build their furniture. Now our choices are the Amish or JUNK, usually built in 3rd world countries to save on labor costs. Most of that "junk" won't last one lifetime, from what I can see. I don't know why or how we got where we are, but thank God for the Amish and thank you for providing an easy access avenue to their products. This has been a very pleasing experience all the way around. Your business name is very fitting, by the way. I am sure that you will have future orders from us and I will be spreading the word to all that I can. Thank you again very much!
 
We recieved the chest today. 
It's beautiful!!  Thank you!!!
 
Ed.. The Toy Box arrived today. It is beautiful. I love the Noah's Ark carving. Thanks so much.  Best wishes..
 
The table just arrived in perfect condition, and it is beautiful! Please thank the craftsmen for me.
 
Good Afternoon: I received my table today - thank you very much.
I must say that when I first ordered it, I was very apprehensive as I knew nothing about your company and your location is quite a distance from Southern California. However, after your emails acknowledging my order, my credit card charge and the shipping information I was much more at ease. Your professionalism and customer service are very obvious and is greatly appreciated.......The table is absolutely beautiful and goes well in our office. We will definitely be ordering more from your company in the near future. As a matter of fact, is it possible to get a couple samples of oak wood stains. We would like to see light, medium and possibly a red oak stain?We are looking to purchase a couple of end tables and a magazine rack for our formal living room and are not sure what color to order. I will gladly pay you for the samples/shipping.  Again... thank you so much!
 
Thank you all for the beautiful rocking horse. What an amazing job. It turned out exactly as we had wanted for our grandson, Sam. It will always be a very special gift for generations to come.

Hi, Ed! Our two beautiful magazine tables arrived in excellent shape yesterday. Thank you so very much!!
Hello We received the Jewelry Box and Plaque! Thank you for the exquisite quality and beautiful design,

Our lighthouse arrived about a week ago. It was just what we wanted. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.Thank you so much.

I just wanted to drop you a short note to say my daughter and my grandson really loved the rocking horse. Everything arrived in great shape and I want to say thank you.

Hi Ed, We got the chest (Butterfly toy chest) today...looks great..

Thanks so much!! We love our swing.
* We thought we'd share this heartwarming letter - Feb 11, 2012:
Thank you for taking time to explain about the Amish. My parents were from Pennsylvania and my father's family were Quaker. I too have special needs children. My forty-seven year old son is autistic. When he was young, there was no understanding of his problem. One of my daughter's lacked oxygen at birth and it left her low functioning. Both of these individuals have grown up to be functional adults. My daughter is an excellent housekeeper and can cook fairly well. My son works for Goodwill and in the 30 years he has only missed one day of work. I am now raising two grandchildren, one that was born at the U of FL. with a fatal birth defect. They saved her life but it left her mentally challenged too. I like to tell parents with children that are handicapped not to baby them but to teach them and they will grow up to be a blessing to everyone around them. Sincerely yours...

Hello!  We received the toy box today It is very nice and we are sure our grandson will enjoy it for many years.

Mr Bedford, I just wanted to let you know my new jewelry box is beautiful. It is everything I was looking for. Thank you again. Sincerely..

My fruitwood kitchen trash container has arrived. It is just what I wanted and it is very beautiful. Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THE HIGH CHAIR, IT LOOKS GREAT AND THE GREAT GRAND CHILD WOLFGANG LOVES IT. GREAT GRAND MA IS HAPPY- AND IF GREAT GRAND MA IS HAPPY WE ALL ARE HAPPY. THANK YOU AND EVERYONE FOR DOING A GOOD JOB JUST AS YOU STATED YOU FOLKS WOULD. YOU DID A GOOD JOB. THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE OAK CHAIR DID A GOOD JOB. AND THE SHIPPING COMPANY DID A GOOD JOB. THANKS

  Hi, Ed.. Thank you so much for the TV stand. You did such a beautiful job with it. I love it!

Ed, I came home to the cradle on my front porch. It is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy with it and am very glad I stuck with my order. Thank you again for all of your help!!

Ed, ..We have received our jewelry chest, and it is beautiful. We are quite impressed with the high quality of workmanship and finish. The quarter sawn oak and the stain perfectly match our bedroom suite...My wife is thrilled, as we have been searching for a chest for her for quite some time. We feel we got the very best bang for our buck. I will definitely recommend you to friends. Thanks for a job well done.

Hi Ed - Happy New Year! I just wanted to let you know that I received the rocking horse on 12/24. It's beautiful.....thanks so much.

>Thank you for the beautiful toy box. It was the perfect present for our grandson. The craftmanship was superb and we appreiciated that it was here for Christmas day.

 

 Ed.. I just left you a voicemail message to confirm that I received the stain samples you sent me. The two samples are very close to each other, but the one that I have chosen is #113, Micheal's. Thanks for sending out the samples.

>Hi, Ed.. Just wanted to let you know we got the doll high chairs today... They look great and I'm sure the grand daughters will love them!!!! Thanx alot!!

Hello, Ed. I received the TRAYS by Fedex yesterday. They arrived in good condition. They were well packaged. I appreciate the promptness of your followup and support. Sincerely..

The rocking horse has arrived and it is even more beautiful than we thought!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! Can I please have your address? I would like to send you a Christmas card so you can see a picture of our daughter, Claire. You can put a face with all the hard work you did for us!! Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas!

YOU ARE AMAZING! I just got a call that the chairs will be delivered tomorrow. Just so you know, I tried to have my grandfather's rockers restored for my parents for Christmas and ran into many many problems. I was not told until last week that they could not be repaired. I want you to know how very much this means to us. The children and I now have a beautiful pair of rockers for mom and dad because of you, and they will have them for Christmas Eve. May your family have a blessed holiday as you have truly blessed ours!

Love the table, looks great. Please give my compliments to the craftsmen. thank you Ed. Thanks again for the great table and chairs! Merry Christmas.

Got my order today! Thank you so much for sending to me before Christmas. Am sure my niece will love it. The rocking horse is beautiful! 

Dear Bedford family, Thank you for the lovely quilt hanger. We appreciate your very fine workmanship. Happy Holidays!

Mr.Bedford, Just want to let you know that the rocking horse arrived safely at my son's house this morning. My daughter-n-law was very impressed and was well pleased. Then this afternoon we got the gumball container, it is a very neat item, my grandchilden will love it!! Thanks so much!! I can say one thing, that you go out of your way to please your customers, and it will be remembered, thanks again!!

Hello Ed: The high chair came today. It's beautiful! The slide tray was definitely best for us. Thank you so much for all your help. You're the best!

The swing arrived on Saturday and it is lovely! Just as it was pictured!

Just a note to let you know we received our toy chest today and it is beautiful. Well worth waiting for. Thank you.

 

Hi Ed, just a quick note to let you know I managed to get TV tray tables back home to Hawaii last week. And am very happy with purchase. Solid and well-built they will last the rest of my life -- please pass my thanks and compliments along to the person who made them (if you know them).... Thanks again for working with me on this!  I will be happy to recommend you to anyone. Best regards...

Dear Bedford Family, I just wanted you to know that the stools arrived and they are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for the good deal. Please thank the Amish craftsman for me. As I said before, I live in a little house so everything I get needs to have purpose but also should be special. As an artist I really appreciate the work and artistry that went into these stools. They really are fantastic. .... Cheers!

I just wanted to let you know, that I received my hall tree today and it is so beautiful. It is exactly what I wanted. I was wondering if you could look on your files and tell me what color of stain was used on it. I forgot and I wanted to order another item and wanted it to match. I also wanted to know how far in advance would be needed to order for Christmas. There is a bench I am interested in for a Christmas gift and a basket. Thank you again



Ed and Family, ... I received the steps today and they are gorgeous! I love stain color. Thanks for all your help. I will be bookmarking your website for future purchases!

Ed, I finally got to surprise my wife with the hope chest and she absolutely loved it. It literally took her breath away, as you can see from the attached photo. Please extend my thanks to the craftsman who made such a work of art.

Dear Ed,  Thank you so much for the beautiful toy chest! It is absolutely perfect! The workmanship is amazing and I love the color of the stain! It is simply spectacular! I brought it over to Jackson tonight and he LOVED it!! He is only two, but his older brother has a nice toy box and he was very excited to have his own. 
.....   As the years go by, this toy box will mean more and more to Jackson and I know it will last for so many years to come. It will be a way for him to remember how much his grandma loved him and someday he can pass it down to one of his children.  Thank you so much! You do BEAUTIFUL work!

Hi Ed...   I just wanted to let you know I received the chest last week, it is beautiful, thank you for all you hard work and loving care that goes into this wonderful work! It brought tears but it is beautiful!

The tables have arrived. They look great, and we are very happy with them. Thank You. Take Care....

 Hi, Ed!  We received the hope chest yesterday and the craftsmanship is absolutely amazing. I can't thank you enough for helping to commemorate our 25th anniversary in such a special way. Let me know if there is any place on the web for me to post our feedback on the wonderful work that you do.     Regards....
 

Dear Arts In Heaven,
 The Toy Box was opened at our grandson's first birthday, and it was simply beautiful! My son and daughter in law got all choked-up. They were thrilled with the black paint because you could see the grain of the wood right through it. Its more than beautifully hand-made. Our own VERSE underneath the lid made it so personal.  It was more than I had ever hoped for. The toy box was perfect after its trip down South, and that alone was a Blessing. YOU WERE SO HELPFUL with the whole process and still got the toy box here on time. We will be ordering more Amish furniture from you in the near future. Please thank all others on your team for us also.  Sincerely....



Got it! It's beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks! - (Three arm oak towel holder).    


Thank you for getting the Amish toys and gifts here on time. Everything looks great. There will be alot of smiling faces this Christmas. Thanks Again and keep up the good work



Beautiful piece of work  Thanks for all of your updates. - (Sports Toy Box)



I received the washers and nuts for the Names of God table and it is now assembled.  We are so happy with it and it looks great in our entrance hall. I also received a candy dispenser that is so cute.  Did you mean to send that to me?? If so, thank you.  I will look forward to  working with you again when we need more furniture.



Ed: Absolutely beautiful (Hope Chest). Thanks for keeping me informed every step of the way. If only more Christian businesses operated the way you do. We would win the world. Be blessed.


I have received the beautiful "Love Chapter" plaque that I ordered from you less than a week ago here in Texas!! I was really amazed at the personal attention to my order and that we got it so soon.

I just received my towel holder. Thank you sooooo much! Many Blessings!

Again, thanks for sending out the artwork so quickly. It really is of a wonderful quality, and my mom loves it. 

Thank you. 

Our order has arrived and my daughter is very pleased. God bless you. S...:-)

Thank you sooooo much for supplying the beautiful pen and pencil set. It far exceeds my expectations and the service was superb. Again, thank you!



The cherry child's rocker arrived in perfect condition and more quickly than we expected. Many thanks for the great service!

 

We are amazed at the large variety of handmade items on your store. The Amish in particular seem quite gifted to produce such wonderful items. 

Thank you for the prompt shipment, and the reply to my email. I pray that you and your family have a Merry & Blessed Christmas. You Bedfords sure seem to have a very nice clientele! 

Dear Ed, I recently received the custom made doorkeep that I had ordered and was VERY pleased with the way it had turned out. It looks great! Thank you.


Ed, Last month I ordered the Amazing Grace Hymn plaque by P. Graham Dunn. I Love it!

Our best to the Bedfords! We are absolutely thrilled with the dining room furniture that was delivered to our home early this morning.  Our room has been transformed with the addition of the beautiful oak table, chairs and cabinets.  The tabletop is simply a masterpiece.  The quality and craftsmanship are evident in every detail of each of the pieces. We were hesitant to place such a large order over the Internet, but the testimonials from your previous customers convinced us that your service was second to none.  We have not been disappointed in that regard.  Our heartfelt thanks for your attention to detail, your patience in explaining all of our options, and your willingness to go the extra mile to insure our complete satisfaction.  The process could not have gone more smoothly.We will send pictures after we have added the finishing touches to the room.  We look forward to our August trip to Ohio and hope to meet you in person!  May God richly bless you and your family.

Thank you so much for the great customer service. I will keep it in mind when I recommend your website to my friends and family. Thank you also for the delicious red raspberry jam. We have found so far it is very good on toast and PB&J.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please tell Bill and your wife the site is so attractive, I really enjoyed looking at everything, the format is easy to find what you want.

Thanks so much for sending me the bread box. I really appreciate it, I just love it. Thanks! again.

The crib is great. Great work. Very low smell. I would not notice it if I did not know that it was new. 

We are just finishing up a remodeling of our kitchen and I look forward to displaying and using my beautiful oak bread box.

I want to tell you how much we like the bench. It is lovely and perfect for our needs. Thank you for your prompt shipment of our order.

I was a little nervous about ordering over $3,000 worth of furniture from a total stranger, but I am so happy that I did. We got our new curio cabinet, two bedside tables, and stereo cabinet delivered yesterday. Hooray! The craftsmanship is excellent. The furniture is beautiful! It arrived without any damage as it was expertly packaged for the trip. Care was taken in all phases of this project.Bottom line: Ed Bedford provided excellent customer service, answered all of my questions, customized my furniture to suit my needs, and responded to my every request in a timely manner. Since I got the furniture made for me and delivered to my door at a considerable discount over what I would have paid a broker to order it locally, I am very happy, indeed! To receive such quality furniture as well as personal, kind, and good service made this process a joyful one. There are still hard-working individuals out there in the world providing good quality merchandise and old fashioned customer service. 
   


Thank you Bedford Family! Our mission crib and dresser came in perfect time, right before baby E.'s arrival. The furniture is beautiful, very well made, and was exactly what we had envisioned - it will be in our family for generations! Working with you and your family was an absolute pleasure - the ongoing communication, customization options, and wonderful attitude was very much appreciated. I felt like I was dealing with family. Thanks again for everything - and please pass our gratitude on to everyone involved in this very special project!

It (The all hardwood oak Trash 13 gal) came on Friday and it is wonderful. It really turned out well, it was worth the wait.



Thanks for everything, it's been a real pleasure. I'll definitely think of you should we need any other furniture in the future, and will absolutely recommend you to everyone I know!



The locking jewelry chest arrived yesterday. It is beautiful!! Please thank the artist on my behalf for such great workmanship. And thank you again for helping me.

The toy box is spectacular!!!!! I was very impressed and happy to show it off to all of our family. I think half of the pictures that day were taken in front of it. My family was very excited to finally see what I had been talking about.
As a home builder, I know quality construction when I see it. With the finely milled wood and dovetail construction, etc., the Amish sure did a fine job. I would not hesitate to recommend your website to friends in the future. Thanks so much for your well-crafted box, excellent customer service, follow-up and an overall great experience.

Gorgeous Ed - The (Coat Rack Shelf) is a dead match of the beams. Bravo!



The large maple chest arrived safely via UPS this afternoon. It is absolutely beautiful! It fits nicely with my 'New England/Shaker' style maple bedroom furniture. I am totally pleased ...

I wanted to let you know that I received the table sometime last week and it is BEAUTIFUL!! I've been so busy that I hadn't had a chance to call you but wanted to let you know that it fits perfectly against the stairs, the drawer is great & a nice size, the levelers are a definite plus b/c the house is very old.  All in all I'm so glad I bought this table from you.  You provide excellent service, a great price and beautiful workmanship.  How could anyone go wrong! Thank you so much. (This table ships UNASSEMBLED to save freight charges!)

   

The custom-made waste container, just like the one in your picture, arrived recently and I just wanted to write to tell you how pleased I am with it. .

The trunk (toy box) arrived today in fine condition. It is exactly what I wanted and will be used in my living room with some Jim Shore' Noah's Ark figurines on top. Thank you for an excellent addition to my home.

Our son puts his cowboy hat on and just rides! The quality is just amazing. My grown son sat on it and it never even "groaned" with the unintended weight. This is a piece of art that will hopefully become an heirloom that will be used by generations. Thank you so much!

 GOD bless you and your family for the recent loss of your son. You are truly honoring his memory by continuing your passion or building beautiful items (by the Amish builders) for others to enjoy. I'm so happy to now become part of your furniture family. God bless!)

The Cherry Toy Boxes arrived today and they are beautiful.

Expensive but well worth it. Thank the Carpenter/Furniture Maker.

I have to say that in the last year I threw out a bed and a crib that came from screw together kits. They were a waste of wood. I have also thrown out several plastic toy boxes that broke as soon as my boys stood on them. The quality of these chests shines, and they are now the best pieces of furniture in our house. They are a lesson, to my 3 and 9 year old sons, on quality and craftsmanship.
Excellent, work (which honors the wood).

We received the cushion today…it is just beautiful!  Thank you so so very much.  From start to finish, you have provided excellent service.    I really appreciated your assistance throughout the process of the having the hall tree built to getting the cushion for it.  Everything is just beautiful.Thank you again.

Hi Ed, The heart bench for wedding guests to sign arrived in great shape!  We are very pleased!

Dear Ed...   Just a short note to tell you how pleased we our with my wife's jewelry box and my valet. The materials and construction are top notch and the design is exactly what we were looking for. Please pass on my comments to the builder!
Edward, I've been meaning to email you to say thank you so much. The chest is simply even more beautiful in person and larger than I was imagining and I'm so pleased! I won't hesitate to refer friends to your business. Thank you again!
 
Dear Bedford Family,  I just wanted you to know that the doll high chair arrived safely a couple of days ago! Swaddled very securely in bubble wrap, and packed in a large box, it suffered no damage. The high chair is so well made and pretty ... very sweet doll furniture! Truly an heirloom piece. We will see our little granddaughter this week, and we know that she will love the high chair and waste no time in "feeding" her dolls!
 
Hi, Ed.. you were right.. this bread box is beautiful! I love it, Jan loves it and said it was worth the wait. Thank you!
 
Dear Ed and Kathy, just wanted to thank you for the beautiful work you did on our SUNBURST OAK BABY HIGH CHAIR. It was everything we thought it would be. BEAUTIFUL!! Our new grand babies are going to enjoy using it. This will be an item of value we can pass down to our children!! Hope you have a blessed new year. Thanks for your hard work!!

Hi Ed..Thank you for all your help [with the hobby horse]. I know it has not been easy, but the great Grandmother has been on my case since Christmas. She thinks it is beautiful and seems to be a lot nicer than the last one we got for another Great grand child.

Ed.. I just wanted to send you a follow up note and Thank you for all the beautiful furniture that you have blessed us with. I am so excited to receive my new Dining room set's. Here is our Minnesota address again for your convenience. I will be sure to take photo's and send them to you, along with the kitchen knobs we had you make.

Dear Mr. Beford,
I picked up Owen's toy chest tonight from the FedEx location near my home. It arrived in perfect condition and I am thrilled with it. This toy chest is absolutely beautiful, and far exceeded my expectations. This is heirloom quality craftmanship and the toy chest will surely be around for generations to come. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

My candy dispensers were delivered this morning (Friday) in ample time for giving at Christmas. They are beautiful as I knew they would be. Thank you for my shopping experience from placing the order to its delivery. It was a pleasure to do business with you and your family.
Merry Christmas in Christ.
 
Ed, the bookcase is great! Do you make a bookcase with 3 or 4 shelves? Also.. do you make library carts with the top shelf slanted?
Hi, Ed!  .. Just wanted you to know I picked up my rocker at Dayton Freight not too far from me on Wednesday after they called me. I figured it would be easier for me to do that and it was. It looks incredible. The wood grain and the stain is just beautiful. I'm very happy with it and the great service you provided. Thank you once again! 

My wife and I wanted to let you know we received the rocking horse today! You did a wonderful job, on the horse and packing it to be shipped... We also wanted to thank-you for your time and effort to get it to us before Christmas. It'll really make our granddaughter very happy. I was really starting to sweat, thinking I was going to attempt to make one from scrap, I'm not much of a carpenter, but I would've tried. 
Again, Thank-You

My desk arrived this morning in good shape. It is beautiful! Thank you so much for your trouble... Sincerely.  
 
The Men's Valet was delivered on Tuesday October 16th about 3:00 pm .Thank you, it looks very nice.

I got my hamper today, thank you so much, it is gorgeous. You do really    great work. :)
 
Ed, FedX just delivered the quilt rack. Nicely packed, no damage. Looks great. Worth the wait. Will return the color samples shortly. Thanks for your help. Hope your day goes well.
 
Hi Ed, the chair was delivered today and it is beautiful!!  It is a gift to my husband who is now undergoing chemotherapy and has not moved from it all day. He says it is extremely comfortable and he loves it. Just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with our purchase and thank you for your help and patience. It was a delight to do business with you.
God bless..

Hi! We received the hope chest on Friday afternoon. Its is lovely! I am very happy. Can't wait to fill it with stuff!
 
Hello, Ed!  We just wanted to emphasize that we really appreciated the craftsmanship on the barstools we received. The stools are both aesthetically pleasing and really comfortable!
 
I received the toy chest and love it!! I know our little Miles will too! Thanks so much for your promptness in processing our order.  
God Bless.....

Ed, I received the chest this morning and I have to say it was worth the wait. I think it is absolutely beautiful. Now I have something beautiful to put my daughters things in. Thank you so much.

Drawer fit and looks perfect. Really appreciate doing business with you, and will definitely recommend your company. Thank you, Ed!

Thank you. The items were received today and opened and look great. (Four swivel hickory saddle stools in natural finish). 

I received the cherry bed steps on Saturday. They are beautiful, just what I was looking for! Thanks so much.
 
Dear Ed,  We received our rocking chair a few days ago and want to convey our surprise and pleasure with the product. It is a great rocking chair that shows excellent workmanship in every aspect! It is a real work of art. We appreciate the the care and attention to detail that the artisan exhibited while completing this order. The packing and shipping was equally well done. Thank you.
 
The toy boxes are absolutely beautiful and are used everyday by my children. They were given to them as gifts by their grandfather, and I am certain that they will remain in our family for our grandchildren and perhaps their children as well.
 
Hi Ed,  The table arrived today, and is beautiful and just what I wanted!
 
I received the hope chest for my daughters high school graduation gift. We both got tears in our eyes as how beautifully your workmanship is! Thank you very much! Jordan and I are so happy and will recommend you to others! Thanks,

Hi Ed.  The cabinet arrived as scheduled last Thursday and it is really nice – very happy with it. The movers are coming on 21/22nd May, so it was very timely. Thanks for your intervention to get it to me and I will take it back to UK – pretty unique I am sure.
 
I just wanted you to know that the stools arrived and they are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for the good deal. Please thank the Amish craftsman for me. As I said before, I live in a little house so everything I get needs to have purpose but also should be special. As an artist I really appreciate the work and artistry that went into these stools. They really are fantastic.
 
We love the chairs, they look great on my patio! Thanks for such a quality product! I'm saving up for the ottomans next. :)
 
Ed --  Meant to tell you that the swing arrived on Thursday (!). My wife opened it today; everything was in good condition, and she loves the color and construction. We plan to assemble tomorrow.  Thanks again for your responsiveness and the quick turnaround!
 
Hi, Ed!  I could not be MORE PLEASED with the desk. The Amish know how to build furniture that will last many, many lifetimes. It's sad because this country used to build furniture and many other items as the Amish build their furniture. Now our choices are the Amish or JUNK, usually built in 3rd world countries to save on labor costs. Most of that "junk" won't last one lifetime, from what I can see. I don't know why or how we got where we are, but thank God for the Amish and thank you for providing an easy access avenue to their products. This has been a very pleasing experience all the way around. Your business name is very fitting, by the way. I am sure that you will have future orders from us and I will be spreading the word to all that I can. Thank you again very much!
 
We recieved the chest today. 
It's beautiful!!  Thank you!!!
 
Ed.. The Toy Box arrived today. It is beautiful. I love the Noah's Ark carving. Thanks so much.  Best wishes..
 
The table just arrived in perfect condition, and it is beautiful! Please thank the craftsmen for me.
 
Good Afternoon: I received my table today - thank you very much.
I must say that when I first ordered it, I was very apprehensive as I knew nothing about your company and your location is quite a distance from Southern California. However, after your emails acknowledging my order, my credit card charge and the shipping information I was much more at ease. Your professionalism and customer service are very obvious and is greatly appreciated.......The table is absolutely beautiful and goes well in our office. We will definitely be ordering more from your company in the near future. As a matter of fact, is it possible to get a couple samples of oak wood stains. We would like to see light, medium and possibly a red oak stain?We are looking to purchase a couple of end tables and a magazine rack for our formal living room and are not sure what color to order. I will gladly pay you for the samples/shipping.  Again... thank you so much!
 
Thank you all for the beautiful rocking horse. What an amazing job. It turned out exactly as we had wanted for our grandson, Sam. It will always be a very special gift for generations to come.

Hi, Ed! Our two beautiful magazine tables arrived in excellent shape yesterday. Thank you so very much!!
Hello We received the Jewelry Box and Plaque! Thank you for the exquisite quality and beautiful design,

Our lighthouse arrived about a week ago. It was just what we wanted. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.Thank you so much.

I just wanted to drop you a short note to say my daughter and my grandson really loved the rocking horse. Everything arrived in great shape and I want to say thank you.

Hi Ed, We got the chest (Butterfly toy chest) today...looks great..

Thanks so much!! We love our swing.
* We thought we'd share this heartwarming letter - Feb 11, 2012:
Thank you for taking time to explain about the Amish. My parents were from Pennsylvania and my father's family were Quaker. I too have special needs children. My forty-seven year old son is autistic. When he was young, there was no understanding of his problem. One of my daughter's lacked oxygen at birth and it left her low functioning. Both of these individuals have grown up to be functional adults. My daughter is an excellent housekeeper and can cook fairly well. My son works for Goodwill and in the 30 years he has only missed one day of work. I am now raising two grandchildren, one that was born at the U of FL. with a fatal birth defect. They saved her life but it left her mentally challenged too. I like to tell parents with children that are handicapped not to baby them but to teach them and they will grow up to be a blessing to everyone around them. Sincerely yours...

Hello!  We received the toy box today It is very nice and we are sure our grandson will enjoy it for many years.

Mr Bedford, I just wanted to let you know my new jewelry box is beautiful. It is everything I was looking for. Thank you again. Sincerely..

My fruitwood kitchen trash container has arrived. It is just what I wanted and it is very beautiful. Thank you.

  Hi, Ed.. Thank you so much for the TV stand. You did such a beautiful job with it. I love it!

Ed, I came home to the cradle on my front porch. It is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy with it and am very glad I stuck with my order. Thank you again for all of your help!!

Ed, ..We have received our jewelry chest, and it is beautiful. We are quite impressed with the high quality of workmanship and finish. The quarter sawn oak and the stain perfectly match our bedroom suite...My wife is thrilled, as we have been searching for a chest for her for quite some time. We feel we got the very best bang for our buck. I will definitely recommend you to friends. Thanks for a job well done.

Hi Ed - Happy New Year! I just wanted to let you know that I received the rocking horse on 12/24. It's beautiful.....thanks so much.

>Thank you for the beautiful toy box. It was the perfect present for our grandson. The craftmanship was superb and we appreiciated that it was here for Christmas day.

 

 Ed.. I just left you a voicemail message to confirm that I received the stain samples you sent me. The two samples are very close to each other, but the one that I have chosen is #113, Micheal's. Thanks for sending out the samples.

>Hi, Ed.. Just wanted to let you know we got the doll high chairs today... They look great and I'm sure the grand daughters will love them!!!! Thanx alot!!

Hello, Ed. I received the TRAYS by Fedex yesterday. They arrived in good condition. They were well packaged. I appreciate the promptness of your followup and support. Sincerely..

The rocking horse has arrived and it is even more beautiful than we thought!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! Can I please have your address? I would like to send you a Christmas card so you can see a picture of our daughter, Claire. You can put a face with all the hard work you did for us!! Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas!

YOU ARE AMAZING! I just got a call that the chairs will be delivered tomorrow. Just so you know, I tried to have my grandfather's rockers restored for my parents for Christmas and ran into many many problems. I was not told until last week that they could not be repaired. I want you to know how very much this means to us. The children and I now have a beautiful pair of rockers for mom and dad because of you, and they will have them for Christmas Eve. May your family have a blessed holiday as you have truly blessed ours!

Love the table, looks great. Please give my compliments to the craftsmen. thank you Ed. Thanks again for the great table and chairs! Merry Christmas.

Got my order today! Thank you so much for sending to me before Christmas. Am sure my niece will love it. The rocking horse is beautiful! 

Dear Bedford family, Thank you for the lovely quilt hanger. We appreciate your very fine workmanship. Happy Holidays!

Mr.Bedford, Just want to let you know that the rocking horse arrived safely at my son's house this morning. My daughter-n-law was very impressed and was well pleased. Then this afternoon we got the gumball container, it is a very neat item, my grandchilden will love it!! Thanks so much!! I can say one thing, that you go out of your way to please your customers, and it will be remembered, thanks again!!

ABOUT OUR FAMILY 

Our son Eddie Bedford lived with Muscular Dystrophy for 13 years and went home to Jesus in 1980.

Our son Bill Bedford lived with Muscular Dystrophy for 43 years. He helped found this website. He went home to the Lord in 2013.

My wife Kathleen Ann Bedford - Married 56 years- went home to Jesus on 9/19/2022 and to our two sons Eddie and Bill after an Alzheimer's related illness. A friend said, "Heaven is rejoicing in her presence!"  Ed Bedford
 
A friend said:

Ed: I remember you and Kathy as you mourn her loss. You blessed her so beautifully as you worked so hard to keep her at home with you. She fought the good fight against Alzheimer’s and is at peace with her maker. You fought the good fight against Alzheimer’s with her and your halo may be waiting. But, you are still alive and given the gift of earthly life for perhaps several years yet. Enjoy them, celebrating the family you have loved so absolutely beautifully. 

 

One great reason that Eddie and Bill and Kathy had such full and productive lives was due to our daughter Sharon (Bedford) Douglas and her great help to us from her time as an infant. Her husband Dan Douglas stepped forward over 26 years ago since their engagement to add a level of comfort and wonderful activities for Bill and Kathy and me, Ed, first at their home in Michigan and later when they moved to Rocky River, Ohio! From almost the time they were infants our granddaughters, Zoe age 24, and Lucy age 16 were always there for Bill and Kathy, and me.


When Kathy went to the nursing home when I took ill, Sharon and Dan handled all the financial and bureaucratic details to get Kathy enrolled permanently at Ennis Court. They and Zoe and Lucy visited her there regularly with flowers and games and news of the family. Kathy was taken care of very well there and enjoyed the food and the staff and the fresh flowers inside and outside the home. She was happy there until her transfer to hospice, almost a year later.
