Even your child’s room can take on the charm of a mountain retreat with either a hickory bunk bed or trundle bed with matching nightstands, dressers and mirrors.

Speaking of complementary pieces, your bedroom décor can be as rustic as you’d like it to be. In addition to canopied, four poster and old hickory match frames for beds, you can accessorize with handsome three, four and five drawer high boys, dressers, mule chests and bachelor chests in matching styles. There are even mirrors and lighting for a comprehensive lodge look.

What should you look for when creating your home lodge? First, look for a reputable name in hickory bedroom furniture. Of course, the Old Hickory Furniture Company is one of the most well known names today, but there are others as well. You want to make sure that the furniture will not only stand up to the rigors of daily life, but the test of time as well.

Keep in mind that each piece will be different. Each twig and piece of lumber used in construction is hand selected. So there will be variations in the bark, textures and grain. A well-made piece of hickory furniture will also show signs of handcrafting, since much of the woodworking is still done by hand.

Most of the wood used in hickory bedroom furniture comes from plantations these days, which is a very “green” method, since it is a renewable resource and leaves natural growths alone.
