Gary,

The rocker arrived yesterday, unharmed from its long journey from Texas. Even the box it was shipped in looked good: Some child, either at your end or en route, decorated the box with crayon drawings of a butterfly and a ladder!

The rocker looks great in our 1850 schoolhouse home, and the pleasure I get from sitting in it is almost embarrassing. The wood is so sensuous to touch, and I sit transfixed by the little "flaws" in the grain, which stare back at me like little eyes. For me, sitting in it is both relaxing and energizing. I can lean my head against the back and hold a cup of coffee in my lap, the chair arms beveled perfectly for that restful position, but soon I find that I'm rocking slightly, and that gets me to thinking . . . and then to a sense of "OK, there's work to be done." Even a little rocking energizes my legs.

We're going to have a bunch of visitors today, and I can't wait to have them "have a sit."

You've created a beautiful piece of work that I am grateful to own.

Gary,

Rocker arrived safely this morning. I love it, absolutely beautiful! It fits me perfectly. The whole process from order to actually sitting in my chair has exceeded my expectations.

Thanks so much,

Hi Gary,

YES! We have received the rocking chair! We love it! As promised, it is the most comfortable rocker we've ever sat in. And besides that, it's beautiful!

We have no idea how you can make a rocking chair with measurements to please everyone — but you have — and we are grateful!

I am sitting in the rocking chair as I write this message! We are very excited about the baby arriving in a few weeks — the baby already seems to like the chair. As soon as E. gets up from rocking, the baby starts bumping around.

Thank you!
N. and E.

P.S. There was some lovely artwork on the box. We enjoyed the pink castle and ? battle ? — there seemed to be a bow and arrow involved. Do all shipments come with complimentary artwork? :)

Gary,

The chair arrived yesterday in perfect condition. I have been sitting in it as often as possible since that time. It is everything I thought it would be.

In December of last year, I injured my back caring for my 91 year old mother. I have been trying to rehabilitate my back since returning home in late January. Sitting in your chair feels so good to my back. Thank you.

Gary,

The chair arrived yesterday. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! And COMFORTABLE!

The delivery guy was very nice and the box was in good condition. The box also came with a beautiful art work on the outside cover. Please thank Bela for us. I enclosed a photo of the art below.

We are very pleased, Thank you.

Gary,

I've had your beautiful furniture for nearly two months now, and it just keeps getting better!

My friends A. and J., Air Force friends for 40 years, who live up front in the Big House, come by most mornings for coffee and a peaceful rock and some entertainment from the birds and squirrels just outside our screened deck. It is glorious!

I dwelled long and hard on this purchase, and checked out a bunch of rocker-makers. None of them were really within my budget, but I couldn't be happier with my little extravagance. I've already forgot about the expense. I'm particularly happy that I wound up choosing your firm. Though your chairs are a little less "swoopy than many of the Maloof Replicas, I usually follow my Mom's dictum, "Simple and Elegant". Your furniture is indeed that, in spades.

Your short video online helped me make up my mind. It is very informative and I could readily see how much thought you have given to development of the rockers. Your easy style, and manner is very charming.

A word on comfort: I try to spend a little time about sunrise out on the deck reading I always am amazed that I never get figgidy or uncomfortable in any way, though sitting on a piece of hard wood! The sculpture of the seat is perfect for my old frame. If I were to change anything, it would be to lower the arms, perhaps an inch, but that's really nit-picking, and may say more about my proportions. Last evening Jim, who had been outside rocking for awhile, said, "Do you ever fall asleep in that chair?" I think one of your beauties will be on the Christmas List for my friends!

I haven't had the time to enjoy the comfort and rocking serenity that I'd like lately. I've been re-building the old bridge you see in the attached photo. It's a pretty big job for this old novice, but I'm enjoying the process. The bridge is front and center in my otherwise lovely view from my rocker, and it will soon be seriously enhanced.

Thank you again for the personal time and communication during my evaluation process and waiting time. It is most appreciated, and rather uncommon these days.
