DutchCrafters Named an America’s Best Trending Online Shop 2021 by Newsweek

DutchCrafters, the largest online retailer of Amish furniture and home décor at www.dutchcrafters.com and daughter company of JMX Brands, has been named to America’s Best Trending Online Shops 2021 by Newsweek.

This list released at the end of June ranked the top 1,000 online shops based on the evaluation of sales, traffic, and website technical details. DutchCrafters was named to this list along with other well-known furniture retailers including Ethan Allen, Joss and Main, Rooms to Go, and World Market.

DutchCrafters Amish Furniture was founded by Jim and Linse Miller in 2003 after their difficulty to find quality, solid wood furniture for their home. In 2016, the company opened the doors to its first brick-and-mortar location in Sarasota, Fla. and later an outlet store in LaGrange, Ind. in 2020. Today, DutchCrafters has the largest collection of Amish furniture online sourced directly from woodshops in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.

To create the list of America’s Best Trending Online Shops 2021, Newsweek partnered with global data firm Statista, as well as online databases, directories, and price comparison websites to identify the most relevant online shops that qualify. Part of the criteria included having at least one million annual website visits in the U.S., growth in both traffic and revenue, and more than half of the retailer’s sales coming from the U.S. The online shops with the highest scores were named to the list, which guides consumers on which ecommerce retailers are trending in the market and demonstrate high levels of service and trust.

DutchCrafters CEO Jim Miller said being named to this list is a testament to the energy and focus being poured into customer experience. “Our new vision was launched at the beginning of 2020, which focuses on delivering exceptional customer experience,” said Miller. “Being named by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Trending Shops Online of 2021 is the culmination of that vision being brought to life. We are very proud of this recognition and it propels us forward to continue focusing on our customers through providing excellent quality furniture.”
