Brandenberry Announces Occasional Tables with Built-In Security Feature

Leave a comment


Amish Custom Perry Occasional Table Collection

The gun vault is one of the security package options of the Perry Occasional Table Collection.

With hidden drawers, locked safes and other safety features, the Perry Occasional Table Collection gives homeowners the opportunity to store precious items in plain sight.


SHIPSHEWANA, Ind. (PRWEB)

What are the chances that a thief who breaks into a home would rip apart the living room tables in search for precious items like jewelry, rare coins or money? Such a likelihood is very low. And that’s the point of the security package available with the Perry Occasional Table Collection from Brandenberry Amish Furniture of Shipshewana, Indiana.

The security package is an optional feature of the Perry Occasional Table Collection. And it can be included in any of the tables. Amish cabinetmakers custom-build the drawers with 100-lb. ball bearing slides for hefty storage. Also, the drawers are built with dovetail joints, which are unrivaled in strength and durability.

Several secure storage options are available. They include a platform pullout. Plus an electronic safe and a trigger lock. This unique storage system frees one up to store valuables or a handgun safely – and in a place intruders would not ordinarily look for them.

“With hidden drawers, locked safes and other safety features, the Perry Occasional Table Collection gives homeowners the opportunity to store precious items in plain sight,” says Floyd Eash, furniture consultant at Brandenberry Amish Furniture.

The drawer fronts occupy the full width of space between the legs on the end of the table. So they blend seamlessly into the table design. And if no hardware is added, the drawers remain incognito.

Of course, the Perry Occasional Table Collection can be ordered without the security package. In this case, customers may wish to order the standard drawers with hardware. And there are numerous hardware options to choose from.

Security package aside, the Perry Occasional Table Collection makes a statement of elegance and sophistication. It features gently bowed legs, graceful arches and simple lines. So the collection is ideally suited for any upscale living room or family room. The collection includes a coffee table and sofa table, plus a tall and short end table and a tall and short nightstand. This gives furniture buyers real flexibility in choosing the tables that fit their needs and desires.

Skilled Amish cabinetmakers custom-build the Perry Occasional Table Collection. The Amish men use quality hardwoods such as oak, cherry and maple. The collection is incredibly sturdy, durable and a future family heirloom. The tables can be ordered online or by visiting Brandenberry Amish Furniture’s physical store in Shipshewana, Indiana. Homeowners can customize the Perry Living Room Collection. Custom preferences include the wood specie, finish and hardware.

About Brandenberry Amish Furniture:

Brandenberry Amish Furniture is located at 1045 N. State Road 5 in Shipshewana, at the intersection of State Road 5 and US 20, near the Indiana Toll Road. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment.

Brandenberry Furniture opened its doors in 2008. The Brandenberry Furniture concept allows customers to design the furniture of their dreams…to explore the rich woods and stains that only nature can offer. Nothing matches the feel, the smell and the weight of hickory, oak, cherry, maple…real woods that come to life in an Amish handcrafted piece. They are meant to last a lifetime and beyond.

Whether a customer’s favorite style is Mission, Traditional, Modern or something in between, if Brandenberry Furniture doesn’t carry it, their craftsmen will build it to specification.

Brandenberry Furniture offers everything from bedroom and dining collections to home accessories, patio and exclusive furniture pieces. Browse Brandenberry Amish Furniture’s easy-to-use website with detailed photographs and information, and you’ll find furniture categorized by room (including family room, dining room, bedroom, office, children’s) as well as by wood species (including oak, hickory, cherry, elm, maple, pine and cedar) and style.

Leave a comment


The Residential Assisted Living National Association is partnering with Redirect Health to provide an affordable alternative to traditional health care

Membership with Redirect Health saves time and money with the convenience of referral and care navigation through a 24/7 concierge service, getting patients to the right physicians faster.


PHOENIX (PRWEB)

Direct Primary Care – The healthcare industry in the U.S. has become a bloated behemoth, with Americans paying more money each year while receiving less care. A recent analysis from federal government records indicates that American healthcare cost in 2018 was $3.65 trillion. For a little perspective, that is greater than the entire GDP of Canada and Brazil combined.

Healthcare costs are still on the rise and patients are becoming even more disillusioned with long wait times, additional costs, and more red tape. For most people, the current healthcare system in the U.S. just isn’t working, and both consumers and care providers are taking notice. Healthcare trends are shifting and the focus is moving toward better consumer-influenced solutions for health.

The sensible answer to this problem is direct primary care. By taking out insurance company middlemen and creating the clearest path between patient and physician, this is primary care with one goal…to keep patients healthy.

The Residential Assisted Living National Association is partnering with Redirect Health to provide an affordable alternative to traditional health care, making it easier for patients to access the care they need and reducing the hassle encountered with most healthcare plans.

Membership with Redirect Health saves time and money with the convenience of referral and care navigation through a 24/7 concierge service, getting patients to the right physicians faster. No network required.

Redirect Health employs telemedicine, direct referrals, care planning, and prescription support all without deductibles and copays, eliminating costly waste and bringing down out-of-pocket expenses.

Redirect Health is also available for employers, with savings of 30% to 60% in monthly premiums compared to traditional health insurance plans. Providing better healthcare options insurers that employers can recruit more experienced and stable employees than their competitors. This is healthcare that is committed to helping members live their best life. This is the future of medicine. https://www.ralna.org/2020/01/affordable-personal-business-healthcare-made-easy/

Mighty Paw Launches A New Unique Safety Belt for Dogs

Leave a comment


News Image

Traveling with your dog has never been easier!


ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Traveling with a dog can be the most rewarding experience, but keeping pups safe in the car is a concern many pet owners share. That’s why Mighty Paw designed their brand new Head Rest Seatbelt. It takes the stress out of traveling, making driving with pets, safe and distraction free.

The universal design of the seat belt’s adjustable headrest loop fits in any vehicle, resulting in a versatile fit no matter whose car you’re taking. It has undergone comprehensive force testing to exceed 850+ pounds of force, and is made with a rock climber’s carabiner clip and all-metal hardware. This seat belt is designed for maximum safety and a guaranteed worry free travel experience.

“I know from experience that dogs are injured terribly in car accidents,” said Anderson Moorer, a former paramedic who is also a dog owner. “Sometimes the injuries sustained by seat-belt-wearing humans are minor, while their dog – ejected from being unrestrained – is critically injured.”

Traveling is stressful enough, so Mighty Paw designed its headrest seat belt to fit in all vehicles. It is also adjustable in length to fit both large and small dogs, for the safety of all sized pups.

With so many causes for distraction, drivers already have enough to focus on. They do not need the added risk of a loose dog in the car. A dog jumping from seat to seat or bumping into the driver could cause a dangerous situation and be unsafe for both drivers and their four-legged family members.

As most pet owners know, a trip or adventure with their dog can be a very exciting experience! Upon reaching the destination, some dogs will attempt to bolt from the vehicle with the anticipation of hitting the trails. Mighty Paw’s headrest seat belt will keep a dog safely restrained until the dog’s owners are ready to leash up their dog and head out on that hike. During a walk or visit to the park, the seat belt also doubles as a short leash or tie out for the dog owner’s convenience.

Mighty Paw just released the new headrest seat belt on Amazon.com and at their online store at http://www.mightypaw.com. To celebrate, the company is giving away 10% off Amazon discount codes for those interested in trying the new seatbelt. To get one now, redeem this limited time coupon here. Discount codes are limited, so be sure to get one today before they run out!

What Is New Car Replacement Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Having a brand new car totaled can be really frustrating. Car owners are advised to purchase new car replacement insurance. It will give them financial security and peace of mind”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

A new car is usually really valuable. It’s value decreases over time, but in the first month after purchase, it still holds a significant portion of the original value. Damaging a car in the first days after the purchase is really an unpleasant event and will leave the owner financially exposed. Luckily, car owners can purchase new car replacement insurance. Find out more and get free car insurance quotes from http://compare-autoinsurance.org.


  • New car replacement is a special coverage option. It is offered by some carriers and supplements the existing coverage. This policy will pay the full value of a new car of the same model, minus the deductible value.

  • Custom equipment is not included. If the totaled car also had some custom equipment or aftermarket parts, they will not be covered by this policy. Aftermarket parts and custom equipment are covered by different policies and must be declared before the accident.

  • There are certain requirements for buying this coverage. The insurance companies that offer this policy will require the policyholders to purchase collision and comprehensive coverage. There may be additional terms and exclusions related to this coverage. Carefully check the contract before agreeing.

  • It applies only to new models. Insurance companies provide this policy only to vehicles that are 2 years old or newer. Furthermore, some companies impose maximum mileage. For example, companies will not insure a vehicle that has more than 24.000 miles on board, even if he is 2 years or newer.

  • Different plan variations. Some companies offer something called “better car replacement”, which will provide a newer car model for the policyholder. Other companies will transform the policy into GAP insurance when the vehicle becomes 2 years older.
