Hi Gary,

I did receive the rocking chair, just when you said it would come. And the delivery person was very pleasant and helpful. I rock in it almost every evening. It is my "let it be" chair.

It seems each time I sit in it I find something else to like about it. Just the other night I discovered if I turn a little and hang one leg over the arm I can use the edge of the back support slats and the rocking motion to massage my back. Aaah. I don't have any problems with my tailbone resting on the seat, which is a nice surprise. I especially like that the slats in the back leave a spot for my spine right in the middle, that there's room for me to tuck my feet underneath, and that it rocks pretty far without ever feeling unstable. And it's absolutely beautiful.

I almost hate to give any non-positive feedback, because it might make you think I enjoy my chair less or expect you to do anything about this stuff. But you seem like you might appreciate it... So this is just for your information; no need to respond.

- The bottom of the shipping box was very dirty - that black greasy dirt that sticks to things. If I had carpet instead of hardwood floors I would probably have had to clean the carpet afterwards.

- I find that resting my arms on the arm rests isn't all that comfortable. I'm not sure why. They feel a little too high and far away from my body. I am about average height for a woman (5'-7") but I think I have long arms for my height. And I'm on the slender side. In fact it's more comfortable for me to tuck my elbows through the back of the chair and put my hands on the seat next to my behind.

Last night my good friend M. came over and spent some time in the rocking chair. She's had a difficult few weeks and she really seemed to find the rocking chair soothing. She also thought it was beautiful.

Thank you for building such a functional and beautiful piece! It is a joy to have it in my life.

Thanks,

I received my cherry rocking chair in perfect condition on July 24. It’s safely situated in my home and I absolutely love the chair. You have created a truly beautiful chair, elegant in its simplicity and quite graceful in appearance. I am delighted to have this hand-crafted rocker in my home. It is remarkably comfortable, and I look forward to many years of pleasurable use. So happy with it!

By the way, the packaging was amazing, perfect for making sure the rocker was not damaged.

Please give my thanks to the artisans who so lovingly created my lifetime chair.

Gary,
The chair is now sitting in our den, and let tell you, it is the most gorgeous piece of furniture I have ever seen.

Thanks so much. Yes it is both a pleasure to view and comfort to sit. The chair is really beautiful. The workmanship is perfection. And I love the engraved Celtic cross.

I actually ordered this within a week of discovering I had an uncommon blood cancer, and was dealing with painful compression fractures in my spine. As a physician I knew I could expect some time following treatments when I would be especially uncomfortable. Rocking chairs have always been soothing and comforting for me, so I sought the best one I could find.

I found it on your website.

I am confident this beautiful walnut rocker will be a source of peace for me. I thank you for all the skill and attention that went into its creation.

Hi Gary!

I have been meaning to write to you since the chair arrived on Tuesday. My daughter-in-law texted me that it had arrived, and according to her text, she said "It's stunning! We love it and can't wait to use it!". My son also called and said "It's gorgeous! We love it soo much! I can't wait to test drive it with the little one when she arrives! Now all we need is the baby! And we love the "M" as well. It's a nice touch." Then he sent me a picture of it and it really is gorgeous. Thank you for all you did to make such a wonderful keepsake for my son and daughter-in-law. I still use the rocker my mother gave me when he was born 30 years ago, and it was factory-made and wasn't even as nice as the one you made! I know it will be a treasured heirloom for them. I will be sure to spread the word!

Hi Gary

Your wonderful chairs did arrive on Tuesday. We are very happy with them. We can sit and rock and look at the picture of us rocking at Big Cedar in your chairs.

Have a blessed Easter Celebration and thank you for choosing to use your gift of craftsmanship and art.

Hi Gary,

We are so happy with our chairs, they are comfortable and beautiful!

Sorry we missed you, but had a nice visit with Austin.

Next time we re down in Wimberley we’ll have to make time it to see you.

Thank you for the lovely and very comfortable piece of art! I can’t seem to spend as much time rocking as I’d like to, but when I can’t stop and sit I can still admire it. I am a very happy customer!

Good morning Gary,

Thank you for the kind words!

This may sound silly, but your furniture helps me relax (not something I am very proficient at!).

I dislike clutter and the beautiful lines of your pieces are just aesthetically perfect for me. The dining chairs are the most comfortable computer chairs I've ever owned (I can sit comfortably for hours in these chairs!).

I find the footstools for my rockers to be great seating -- and my cats love the curve of those and appropriate them when I rock. I never get to put my feet up -- those now belong to the purr-babies :)

I thought long and hard about investing in the small table and stools for my lanai -- but your furniture is worth every penny.

I really love having useful art :)
