Original article appeared here.

Jill Herro’s Amish-made furniture seems out of place among the maze of gun vendors at this year’s Great American Outdoor Show — until she taps on the side of a sturdy maple nightstand on display at her corner booth.

“Nobody tells anybody what the furniture does,” she said, revealing a hidden compartment ideal for storing handguns. “They want to keep it a secret, so growing has been difficult.”

It’s the crux of the problem for Herro’s Secret Compartment Furniture in Akron, Ohio. She started the business eight years ago after an online search for beautiful, stylish furniture capable of hiding firearms turned up nothing.

“I decided that if I’m looking for it, then somebody else must be looking for it as well,” she said. “I get the whole gun safe thing, I understand that, but I have no children in the home and I want to be able to get at my firearm quickly and easily.”

So Herro got to work, designing “heirloom” pieces built to last generations, with seamless compartments and “normal” proportions that don’t give away the secret. She said she didn’t look far for a craftsman to bring her designs to life, either.

“An hour south from where I live is the largest Amish community in the world with 450 furniture makers,” she said. “So I figured I might as well leverage that resource.”

Herro said her most popular pieces include the nightstand and a six-foot-tall bookcase. Some 50 percent of her business is custom designs, too.

“It’s all solid wood, there’s no press board,” she said of all her products. “They’ll last forever.”

Herro’s inventory includes beds, nightstands, mirrors, bookcases, shelves, coffee tables and accent tables, with prices ranging from $269 to $2,695. The company also offers custom-designed cabinetry for kitchens and bathrooms. For more information, visit secretcompartmentfurniture.com.

Gear Review: Mother’s Day gift guide

"Who knew guns and home décor could meld so well? This shaker-style accent table is constructed of solid maple wood, Amish-made in Holmes County, Ohio. Held by powerful magnets, one removable side panel — not discernable from the other three side panels — conceals a 10x10x3-inch felt-lined secret compartment ideal for handguns and other items you’d like hidden yet always at the ready. Overall dimensions on this particular table in inches are 14Wx14Dx28.5H, though the company offers plenty of other styles, all with retail prices in the $299-599 range. That’s 100 percent made in the USA quality, but if that’s too steep a price, I’m sure the lady in your life would welcome a home-built version just as much."

One of our favorite takeaways from the Expo–this bookcase from Secret Comparment Furniture. The top opens first, releasing the sides, which in turn allow access to a final hidden compartment.

See some of the hottest items we found on the floor of the show.

“I searched online for furniture where I could store my gun and frankly found nothing I would want in my house,” Jill says. “There was nothing available that looked really nice. To me it all looked like garage projects.”

Jill had not been a gun person her whole life. Back in spring of 2009 she took a class, “on a lark” with some girlfriends, she says. “Some friends wanted to do it so I said OK. Prior to that class I had never touched a gun in my entire life. I was a complete newbie. I found out that I really enjoyed it and I found it to be very empowering.”

She ended up getting her own gun. And though she did not have children in the home, she still didn’t want the gun just laying around. And yet she wanted it to be accessible. Shortly after starting her fruitless search for nice-looking gun storage furniture, she got laid off.

“I thought, if I’m looking for furniture like this then other people are looking for it too,” she recalls. And since she lives in Ohio, she has access to a huge community of Amish furniture makers. “I thought, i can take advantage of that,” she says.

Jill designs each item and closely oversees its production. The website shows standard designs, but the Amish furniture makers can customize each and every detail of every item, from the wood to the stain to the size. “We are essentially a custom shop,” Jill says. “What you see on the site and what I take to the shows is the tip of the iceberg. Close to 50% of our furniture orders are custom requests.”

Amish furniture is known for being quality solid wood. These pieces have no pressboard, fiberboard or veneer. They are heirloom quality items that you would want to keep your gun in and so would your grandchild, or your great grandchild.

Jill designs her furniture to look “normal” on the outside, with functional drawers or panels. But on the sides, or in the back, is a secret compartment for gun storage. The compartments fit most standard firearms. Even if someone were to break into your home and open the drawer, they would not see the secret compartment with the firearm. “People would have a very difficult time figuring out that these are secret compartment pieces of furniture,” Jill says. “In the case of the side table with a drawer, there is a compartment is on both sides and the compartments are fully separate, with no connection to the drawer. Even if someone would yank that drawer out of there, which is hard, they wouldn’t see anything. You can put your gun on one side and your ammo on the other side, or a gun on each side, or a firearm on one side and Grandma’s Tiffany necklace on the other. Or be really radical and put the Snickers bars in there!” she says with a laugh.

The furniture does not come with locking compartments, but that can be added. All you have to do to open the secret compartment is know how to. People who purchase the furniture get instructions. “We all understand safety, but a gun safe doesn’t help me if there’s someone coming through the front door and I can’t get to it,” she says. “This allows you to keep a firearm easy to get at but still hidden away in plain sight.”

The company got off the ground in 2010. It’s been slow to grow, Jill says, because people keep their Secret Compartment Furniture, well, secret! “People buy a piece and then come back and buy another piece and I’ll ask them, ‘Have you told anybody?,’” she comments. “They say, ‘No, I haven’t even told my kids!” she says with a chuckle. I get no word of mouth because no one tells anyone what their furniture does.”

Jill’s Amish furniture makers can build a piece of furniture to any specification, and it doesn’t even have to have a secret compartment. She says they’ve taken orders for bathroom vanities and kitchens, because people see that her furniture is so well-made that they want other non-firearm furniture made in a similar way. “If it’s made out of wood we’ll build it,” she says.

That opens up a whole bunch of possibilities doesn’t it? Check out Jill’s secret compartment furniture.
