One aspect of Shaker culture had to do with hanging furniture on the wall, and removing other pieces from spaces at the end of the day.  To facilitate this effort, hangers and wheels were often used.  The reproduction offered  here is a Shaker dining table on wheels.

Shaker Furniture has become legendary around the world for its simple beauty. Shaker furniture takes its roots from the 19th century religious sect, the Shakers. The Shakers were an offshoot from the Quakers, an English religious group with their roots dating back to the 18th century. During the 1800's the Shakers grew to several thousand converts living in Shaker communities throughout the United States from Kentucky to Maine.

The Shakers became famous for their unique style of furniture. It is simple, unique and durable. The pieces were normally produced in mass production using the appropriate tools and mechanisms to do so. This was performed in order to provide the same furniture throughout the settlement.

With communities throughout the American South, Midwest and Northeast, their master wood workmanship lives on today in this beautiful reproduction. This dining table is a perfect representation of the elegant simplicity it which Shaker furniture embodies. Its design was taken from such tables of the Ohio vernacular tradition.
