The person who sold you the cabin gives you some local suggestions and you’re off to check out their inventory.

You’ve just bought a log cabin. You want to fill it with only log furniture. Unfortunately, you have no idea where to buy the furniture. The person who sold you the cabin gives you some local suggestions and you’re off to check out their inventory. When you get to your first stop, you realize that you don’t have the slightest idea what to buy.
The salesperson in the showroom asks you a few questions and then makes some general recommendations. The pieces he first suggests include:
Living Room Set
In order to be able to entertain or just watch television, at the very minimum you’ll need a white cedar log sofa. Add to that two white cedar lounge chairs, a coffee table and television stand and you’re set. On to the bedrooms we go.
Master Bedroom
It’s cheaper if you buy a bedroom set rather than each piece separately. Go with red cedar logs all around. Included is the queen-sized bed, a six-drawer dresser, four-drawer chest, one-drawer nightstand and log bench at the foot of the bed.
Other Two Bedrooms
Having spent a great deal on your master bedroom, you can save money by using two full-sized twin bunk beds in each bedroom. It will give you greater capacity for less cost. In addition, add a six-drawer dresser to each room for storage.
Dining Room
Here again it makes sense to buy a dining room set rather than each piece separately. Go with a 72” aspen log dining table, six log chairs and a china hutch. You’re ready to eat.
There you have it. You’ve bought all the log furniture needed to fill your log cabin and it cost you no more than $25,000. Considering your cabin cost $500,000, it’s a small price to pay for quality.
A good start in your search would be
