The Shakers are known for making simple, durable furniture that has become an American classic. We love some of the timeless pieces that we found in the Shaker Workshops Catalog:
Shaker Style
With their simple elegance and classic materials, a lot of the Shaker Furniture reminds us of more modern designs like the classic Nakashima Straight backed Chair. The Shakers have a great reputation for quality and good business practice, investing in Shaker designs is a solid decision. Although the Shaker Workshops company isn't run by Shakers, they seek to "live up to that high standard. We brand our furniture with pride and we guarantee it without hesitation."

I found a beautiful shaker tray and boy at Goodwill recently! I agree they have a very modern look.
