There are a lot of third party sellers like some high end furniture stores I have Daniels Amish furniture brand in my house . There is a pretty big mark up if you buy from stores that carry it. You can buy straight from the Amish community for a huge discount a lot of the time the furniture is unfinished but you save 70% compared to the furniture store . For example I bought my parents a queen four post bed frame made from solid red oak for $330 . I had it finished for another $300 from a guy I found online and I bought the metal side runner rails for $150. So I spent $780 in total and a frame similar goes for over $2k .
