Since quality is this business’ top priority, Swiss Valley Furniture in Sugarcreek used to pride itself on the quality and craftsmanship of its furniture, handcrafted by local Amish builders. Now, the locally owned and family operated business can pride itself on something even better; the company now makes most of all its furniture on site and the furniture is built to last a lifetime. “We now build most of our furniture ourselves in our own shop,” said co-owner Kendrick Mullet. “The advantage of having our own shop is, the customers can walk in and if they want a custom item, instead of being the middle man, we can now draw it up and build it ourselves. It’s really been working well for us.” Mullet co-owns Swiss Valley Furniture with his father, Dennis, and brother, Keshawn. The two brothers grew up building custom kitchens with their father and grandfather. Dennis has spent more than 30 years designing and building custom kitchens, so he has the expertise and experience to help customers create any custom item they may want. “Our biggest advantage of building our own furniture comes when our customers want something custom, the salesperson who helps design the custom item will often be the one who builds the item as well,” Mullet said. Since the business opened in 1995, Swiss Valley has been satisfying many customers and specializes in the perfect hardwood furniture piece for every room of the home. It has always been a company goal to eventually build its own furniture on site and now that that goal has been reached, Mullet is happy about that and the store itself has been doing really well with the transition. “In 2004, I left my grandpa’s cabinet shop, and began building occasional tables and bedroom sets in my garage, with the goal of eventually building all of our own furniture,” Mullet said. “In 2009, we achieved part of this goal by expanding to a much larger manufacturing facility, where we now build most of our own furniture.  We still supplement our showroom with other locally made items. Developing our own line sets us apart and gives our customers unique handmade items they can’t find anywhere else.” Swiss Valley Furniture offers one of the largest showrooms in the area, with over 24,000-square-feet, customers are able to see the different styles of furniture and different woods the store offers. The store carries a wide array of beautiful dining room and kitchen furniture, as well as bedroom suites and office furniture, including television stands and computer desks. In line for a new bed?
