It is beautiful and my husband loves it. I had to pry him out so that I could give it a try.

Thanks so much!

Hi Gary:

Thanks buddy, the art work arrived today in perfect shape. In fact, I'm sitting on your fantastic walnut side chair as I'm writing this. My ass feel great and Marilyn is able to recognize me by the "J" on the back of your chair, which by the way is tasteful and beautiful. You ARE da man!

I have been meaning to write today to let you all know — it has been one of those days in the markets.

We received the crate on Thursday and I was able to unpack it only on Friday (got home late Thursday). I had a half day off on Friday since I had to babysit my newborn daughter. So I unpacked it Friday afternoon.

The crate arrived safely, without any damage, and I slid the chair right out just as directed.

What a beauty. It really looks fabulous. The inlay is just what I had in mind — I really appreciate the work on it. And the wood and the construction is just solid and really beautiful.

And it was a treat to spend Friday afternoon with the chair unpacked and the ability to sit and rock in it. My daughter loves it — just to be held and rocked.

And I'd like Gary to know that my wife — who eyed it suspiciously when she first saw it — eventually sat in it and rocked and I think has come around to it (though it might take a couple of weeks for the admission to come out). I think she appreciated the fact that Italy appeared in front of Tennessee and Kentucky lest anyone wonder who's in charge here.

But we love it — it's a very welcome addition to our home and something that I hope we will have and cherish for many many years.

Thanks again for the wonderful craftsmanship, the beautiful materials and the attention to service. It has been a pleasure to work with you all.

I'll get a picture in the mail, and I hope to hear about Gary's Italy trip when he returns.

Ciao,
J.W.

Aubrey,

It did take a leap of faith, but when I first talked to you I was reassured! It also takes a leap of faith for you to make a chair for someone you don't know who may not take care of it.

The chair is beautiful. I smile each time I see it, sit in it, or rock. And it fits me, 5'3", and my husband, 6', just as you said it would. I have had to restrict his use of the chair to be sure it is always available for me. In fact, I have threatened to install a "rockometer" in order to monitor the number of rocks he has put on the chair. Do you have a "rockometer"?

I would love a tour of the factory, and I would like to meet you all.

Thank you,
S.M.

My chair arrived in perfect condition. It exceeds all expectations —beautiful in contour and in workmanship — a feast for my eyes and comfort for my back as well as a perfect fit for my bottom! Many thanks!!!!

Sorry to be so slow in getting back to you — we have been out of town. However, we were here when our chairs arrived promptly and in excellent condition. They sit even better than I remember and my husband, who was just a tad dubious about what I was doing, declared them to be "really comfortable" about five minutes after they arrived. And they are just as beautiful as they are comfortable. It is great that there are still artisans like you out there plying your craft. We know we will be sitting pretty for years to come.

Thanks,

Thank you for the note, Gary!

I have been meaning to write to let you know we received the chair in perfect condition on Tuesday, when my husband was home. It's a lovely creature!

Many thanks for your work!

Hi Gary & Aubrey –

The chair arrived as scheduled on Friday afternoon – it is absolutely beautiful! My husband really loves it. BTW, you do a great job with the packaging. Despite the fact that the carton was fairly beat up & part of the wood frame was broken, the chair was in perfect condition.

Best regards,
