I will say, on this particular website, the furniture was literally artwork - By that I mean, it was clearly made by artists with great mastery of their craft. For example there were mirrors which were cut and framed in very unusual shapes. There upholstered pieces with atypical material/construction. So yes, amish people probably make more functional stuff, but this stuff was showcasing the skill of the builder, which is what brings the price. That said I don't care if you brought me and end table made out of moon rock, I aint payin' 70 grand for it, lmfao
