When shopping for wood furniture, six things, write them down. Number one, dovetail drawers right here, not staples. Number two, mortise and tenon joints, not screws, they fit together.
Number three, kiln drying hardwood, not softwood. They kiln dry the wood, get the moisture out, it doesn't warp. Number four, real hardware, like this wonderful iron hardware here, not plastic.
Number five, a finish that has real depth in it, like this wonderful, this white oak finish here, the depth goes forever on this Stickley piece. And of course, if you ask where the provenance is, where was the furniture made? It was made in Amish, Ohio, Amish, Indiana. It was made in Stickley at their factory in New York.
