“Great piece of furniture, easy enough to assemble and looks great. Exactly like the picture. It's solid as well. I elected to put a coat of varnish on the wood which took about an hour. “

"This was my first time to order something like this online without really seeing it first. The bed arrived earlier then expected which was exciting. The bed was pretty easy to set up and was much prettier in person. There were 2 boards that go under the box spring that were too short but it was an easy fix. Overall I'm very satisfied with the product"

"I bought two bunk beds from Midwest Log Furniture and they are absolutely gorgeous.  When we received the beds, the ladder for the top bunk was on the right side of the bunks and we needed them to be on the left side to fit in the space of the bedroom where they were both going.  It was probably my fault for not indicating what side I needed the ladder to be on.  I contacted Midwest and they immediately responded and they were very helpful and accommodating.  They sent out new posts within a few days.  Their customer service is outstanding and the quality of their product is excellent.  I would recommend them to everyone that is thinking of purchasing log furniture.  I researched log bunk beds for a number of months and their price is very competitive and after receiving and assembling the bunks, the bunks themselves are really beautiful.

The method of mortise & tenon has been used by woodworkers for thousands of years.  There are many variations of this method but the basic principle is inserting a tenon ”tongue” into a mortise ”hole and fastening the joint with some kind of fastener such as a nail, screw or bolt.  The result is a simple yet strong connection of two woods.  This method can be seen in the framework of many old buildings and barns.  In these structures the mortise and tenon joint generally follows the shape of the two pieces of wood being joined such as square, rectangular or wedge shaped.  In a similar way,

Midwest Log Furniture uses round mortise and tenon joints to connect each log of a log bed.  These joints are then held in place with a hidden screw to make a solid, long lasting bed frame.

There are many techniques to joining wood.  Over the years, some techniques such as the dovetail joint have developed a reputation for quality and durability.  The dovetail joint is often used where strength is needed to join to pieces of wood coming together at a 90 degree angle such as a drawer, cabinet or box.  This joint provides an finger like overlapping of the two pieces of wood creating a strong esthetically pleasing wood joint. 

Midwest Log Furniture uses dovetail joints on its drawers to create a strong drawer that will last.
