About Schanz Furniture & Refinishing
Schanz Furniture & Refinishing has operated in South Amana, Iowa, since 1965, when Norman and Joanna Schanz began crafting furniture in their basement. The family-owned workshop remains in the hands of the second generation, Mike and Michelle Schanz, and is situated in the historic Amana Colonies. The shop produces custom solid-hardwood furniture — primarily cherry, oak, and walnut — along with furniture repair, refinishing, and traditional chair caning and seat weaving. Every piece is built start-to-finish by a single craftsman using traditional joinery and a proprietary formaldehyde-free conversion varnish applied in multiple hand-sanded coats. Repairs and refinishing are performed only in the shop; small gift items such as cutting boards and cheese slicers ship nationwide, while furniture is available for pickup or scheduled delivery. Customers include homeowners commissioning one-of-a-kind dining suites or restoring heirloom pieces, tourists visiting the Amana Colonies, and gift buyers ordering small goods online. The business also serves clients seeking traditional seat-weaving patterns such as hole caning, pressed cane, rush, and splint. The company emphasizes that its furniture is built to outlast trends and mass-produced alternatives, citing a commitment to transparency — visitors can watch the craft process — and a refusal to use particle board, MDF, or painted finishes.
