Manchester Wood: American Made Furniture Jelly Cabinets
When searching storage options for the kitchen, as well as for the home office, dining room, or study room, look no further than the solid wood furniture made in the USA by Manchester Wood. Our well-crafted cabinetry with Americana country favored styling is one of the more popular, yet often overlooked, options in Shaker furniture style.
ABC World News with Diane Sawyer’s Made in America series featured our Tall Double Jelly Cabinet on a ‘Made in USA Home Makeover’ edition last season. Among other options of our solid wood cabinets are the Double Jelly Cabinet, Tall Jelly Cabinet, and Side Table.
The term ‘Jelly Cabinet’ dates back to early America and it was used — as one might expect — for holding “the jams and jellies through canning from seasonal gardens. Jelly was important when fresh fruit was lacking from the diet due to the [area’s colder, non-harvesting seasons.] The cabinets protected produce (and occasionally baked goods) from rodents in days before refrigerators were widely used and homes lacked built-in cabinets. The cabinets were constructed of materials such as wood with iron strap hinges. They were mainly used in the kitchen, but as they became popular to place in other rooms of the house (and to store more than jelly), the wood and finish used became more refined.” *read more: What Is a Jelly Cabinet? | eHow.com http://bit.ly/14nw5TF

End tables can be underrated pieces of furniture, perhaps due to their diminutive stature or peripheral nature. Whatever the case may be, we believe that a nice wooden end table can be an integral aspect of almost any room, offering extra surface space and storage as well as contributing aesthetically.
End tables are great places for small lamps, family pictures or just the book you are currently reading. They are usually placed beside sofas and armchairs and are often paired with a coffee table in the living room. Like most furniture, end tables are made using a wide variety of standards and materials. Cheaper options, like particle board or veneer pieces seldom last and can look a bit tacky, so the top end tables are made with solid wood. One risk of end tables is that they tend to accumulate clutter, and while they may be convenient places to put things, those things can distract from the beauty of a well made, solid wood end table.
Our Slate Top End Table
At Manchester Wood, we offer a wide selection of end tables. Some popular options include our Shaker and Traditional end tables. These pieces have a reserved aesthetic and go great with other more traditional furniture.
For homeowners with a more contemporary decorating sensibility, we have options like our 22” Round and Square Cherry End Tables, which both feature beautifully contoured legs and a shelf for extra storage.
Speaking of storage, we also offer many end tables with drawers, shelves and other spaces to put things. A longtime customer favorite is our Chairside Storage Table, which has a hidden compartment that is great for keeping things out of the way. Another good option is our Chairside Drawer Table, which (as the name might imply) offers a spacious drawer that can be opened from either side. This feature is great for open spaces.
So whether you are looking for that last piece of furniture to tie your living room together, or you just need a little bit of extra organization and storage, be sure to consider our collection of end tables and don’t forget that all of our products are made in the USA!
As we begin 2013, we at Manchester Wood would like to offer this 
month’s giveaway not as a raffle for a lucky winner but to everyone who orders during this month of January!
Order from ManchesterWood.com from Jan. 1st-31st and enter FREE in the coupon code box at checkout to receive a limited edition cutting board branded with our logo (see photo) free with every web purchase.

What makes solid cherry furniture so special? Why offer a whole collection of cherry furniture? The answer lies in the unique qualities this wood has to offer.
Most of our solid wooden furniture is made out of ash, which has a nice, straight grain and is relatively easy to work for being a hardwood. Plus, ash takes stain very well because of its natural light color.
22″ Round Cherry End Table with Heritage Cherry Finish.
Cherry makes good furniture for other reasons. For example, cherry has a characteristic warm, reddish hue that pleases the eye and is accentuated by the wood’s rich and complex grain. We use two different kinds of finish (natural cherry and heritage cherry) on our solid cherry furniture to help make the gain and color of the wood really pop.
All of our solid cherry furniture is made using only sustainably harvested North American Black Cherry. This ensures a high quality, eco-friendly product.
If you are interested in finding out more, check out our Solid Cherry Collection. This collection showcases a number of quality pieces, including many cherry coffee tables and end tables. For example, our Round Cherry Coffee Table looks great in any living room, and offers a nice broad surface for magazines, remotes, books and more. It also offers a bottom shelf for out of the way storage.
Another great piece of solid cherry furniture is our 22” Round Cherry End Table. Designed to sit next to a couch or chair, this handsome cherry table is great for flowers or family photos. It also sports a lower shelf for extra space.
At Manchester Wood, all of our furniture is built to the highest standards, and our solid cherry furniture is no exception. The combination of quality materials and premium American workmanship results in a premium final product. Accordingly, we back all of our solid wooden furniture with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Manchester Wood’s #GiftGiving2012 Collection Spotlight
Earlier this year Manchester Wood started a specialty collection entitled $64 Gifts for U.S. Jobs featuring some of our American made furniture at a flat rate of $64 dollars with FREE SHIPPING. It was added on to bring a deeper awareness of quality furniture made in the USA at a reasonable price. Why $64? We chose this amount based on a study conducted by ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, which found that if each person in the country spent $64 dollars on American made items it would create 200,000 new American jobs. In light of this study, Manchester Wood offered this collection of affordable hardwood furniture at just $64. Since our creation, Manchester Wood has understood the value of quality American craftsmanship and believes in the American worker who produces products made in the USA that last longer and perform better.
It’s a perfect collection to shop for gifts this holiday season! And for your item to arrive on time for Christmas please place all of your orders by Friday December 14th.
Support Made in USA Furniture, the American Worker, and give your loved ones a quality gift that will last a lifetime! And it’s only $64!

The origins of television in this country can be traced back to almost a century ago. The first TV station license was issued in 1928, but the rise of the amazing new technology was sharply curtailed as a result of the Great Depression. During this time, televisions were far too expensive for the average consumer: only about 200 TV sets existed in the whole country by 1936! It wouldn’t be until the boom of 1950s and the proliferation of consumer appliances that TV because widely available to the middle class. Throughout this period, televisions continued to stand by themselves, unreliant on other devices and often even furniture, as many TV sets actually supported themselves at a comfortable viewing level.
The introduction of Betamax and VHS during the mid to late 1970s would have a profound effect on how Americans watched TV. Aside from letting them record movies and begin to control their own viewing habits, the video player became another electronic device commonly found in American living rooms. Video players were not supposed to be stored on the floor, as they would suffer abuse from feet and and dust, so many people had to start using a different piece of furniture to keep their VCRs off the ground. TV manufacturers came up with a workaround to this problem by creating combination TV/VCRs. It wasn’t long however, until companies like Nintendo and Sega started to make video game consoles, creating yet another electronic gadget for the American living room. Soon, wooden TV stands became a popular way of organizing electronics in the living room.
Built with great care and attention to quality out of solid wood, the Contemporary Media Stand can support flat screen televisions up to 50 inches in size.
Obviously, the trend in television has been toward multiple, specialized devices. Today, TVs, cable and satellite boxes, gaming consoles, DVD players and even computers work in concert to give us multimedia entertainment in our living rooms. Having so many different components means that organizing our home entertainment systems is more important than ever. We have a number of excellent solid wood TV standsthat blend the classic appeal of hardwood furniture with modern day functionality.
Some of our highlights include the Hanover Media Stand, which can hold over 500 pounds and features ample shelving and cabinet space, all with an open back for easy wiring. Another wooden TV stand option is our Contemporary Media Stand. It features a distinctive, minimalistic design that does not sacrifice practicality. With its broad, open shelves, it has plenty of space for all of your needs.
There is no reason why your 21st century home entertainment system should be held back by a 20th century piece of furniture. Our solid wood TV stands will keep your living room looking organized and stylish, all while maximizing your viewing experience.

All of the solid wood furniture that Manchester Wood produces is made entirely in the USA.
When describing our furniture, there are two terms that we are particularly fond of: “American Made” and “Solid Wood”. These phrases don’t just sound good; they actually have specific definitions that we adhere to rigorously when making our furniture. What does it really mean to produce solid wood furniture that is made in the USA?
Because of the enduring stellar reputation surrounding American craftsmanship, the phrases “American Made” and “Made in the USA” have come to symbolize that a product exhibits quality workmanship and materials. Unfortunately, some disingenuous businesses try to mislead their customers about the origins of their products. Accordingly, the Federal Trade Commission issues guidelines as to which products can be called American Made and which cannot. If a company flaunts these rules, the FTC has the authority to prosecute. Consumers should be careful to differentiate between the labels “Made in the USA” and “Assembled in the USA”, which is a lesser distinction that means that the components of the product in question are from foreign countries and they were merely put together in this one.
When we say our furniture is solid wood, we mean that it is made out of plain lumber, not plywood or particle board. These types of processed building materials are known as engineered wood. Solid wood is the much more durable of the two, to say nothing of its aesthetic superiority. These advantages make solid wood the clear choice for quality furniture.
Although it may be cheaper to produce furniture overseas using engineered wood, we know that no such product can hope to compete with our American made solid wood furniture. We endeavor to make the best product possible, and this means using the best materials and the best workers we can find, both of which are right here in America, as our satisfied customers can attest to. We hope everyone will continue to buy American, thereby supporting our domestic economy and American manufacturing.
