Our builders include both traditional Amish families and families that have embraced technology to a higher degree. Several of our craftsmen ride bicycles to work and their families are transported by walking or driving horse and buggy. Amish builders are very conscious of the need and benefits of recycling and environmentally sensitive business practices, and they often heat their workshops with wood scraps and sawdust.
Amish builders are committed to producing the very best Amish college chairs imaginable. Everyone who is even slightly familiar with furniture is aware of the capability, quality, ability and legacy of Amish craftsmen in Ohio.

Affinity Miniature College Chairs
Exact Replicas for Awards & Donor Relations
We make Miniature Chairs for university advancement, development, alumni offices, and human resources. Universities engage us in search of college miniature chairs as gifts to honor principal donors. Because they may know donors and prospective donors whose contributions may not justify the expense of a full-size chair or the donors may prefer less expensive gifts, these offices have decided to present to donors small replica chairs that can be displayed on desks and shelves in homes and offices.
Our Miniature Chairs are popular with medical centers, universities, and other nonprofits for the purpose of rewarding and creating incentives for Principal Donors to these organizations. These tiny chairs are perfect for businesses, too. Our Miniature Chairs are excellent gifts and awards for retirees and other persons of distinction.
Also, many institutional donors prefer to receive a small replica chair rather than a full-size chair at the relatively higher expense to the organization which they support. Principal Donors often prefer that their favorite charity conserve donor funds and avoid premium items such as full-size chairs, preferring that their charity be a conservative steward of their funds.
We offer exact models of our Affinity Traditional Captain’s Chair and our Affinity Classic Alumni Chair in 4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch miniatures (below). Currently we offer standard chairs in black lacquer and an elegant, new material that appears as frosted glass (at additional cost). Other sizes and other attractive materials and finishes are available. We offer elegant bases in brown maple wood or cherry wood in dimensions of 5.25″, 6″, and 6.5″ square. Custom bases are also available in marble and granite with sophisticated metal nameplates. We can make these plaques, or you can rely on your favorite, local trophy vendor.
We make all of our Miniature Chairs and bases in Montrose, Colorado. For Miniature College Chair Price information.
