Dear Gary and Team,

The rocker came today and is truly a thing of beauty.

Oddly, I though I had ordered the walnut. That is what I intended to order. But I love the maple, and am warming to it so much that I’m now glad I made the mistake.

Thank you for your craftsmanship and commitment to excellence and quality. The rocker and table are works of art. Plus it is VERY comfortable to sit in!

Best,
C.

I'm fixing up my shady acre Ozark tree house.

…

But the rocking chair is the 💣 bomb!

That's. Where. I. Sit. Period. End. Of. Story.

I'll send photos.

It's mellowing so good I can hardly stand it!

With great respect and admiration,

Hi Gary,

Just wanted to let you know we received the rocking chair last night. It is absolutely stunning and at first rock I could tell that it is something special and so comfortable. I’m (trying) to wait until Christmas to surprise my husband. Ps the bumblebee art was such lovely addition as well... thanks Bela 💛 and thanks for making such high quality rocking chairs!

Hi Gary,

yes, it made it here safe and sound! and you are right, it is a bit unnerving to order something unseen. Frankly, we were slightly surprised by how large it is. However, it does not feel big when you sit in it — and it is so comfortable it is difficult to tell that it is made of hard wood! I love how comfortable it is, the nice craftsmanship, and knowing it is well built and will last many years (or generations…) to come.

Thank you again, and best to you all!

Let me say that in addition to the great comfort and good construction, I am truly impressed by the attention to detail, such as the centering of grain pattern on the seat and back, and matching grain lines to neighboring wood pieces. Know that it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!

I love the chair, its great comfort, its beauty, and its fine craftsmanship. I hope to enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you to you and the team.

Best wishes,

The footstool arrived this afternoon! T. was stunned, and so very happy to have it! He put it into immediate use as he was already sitting in the rocker. So comfortable!! It also looks absolutely wonderful with the rocker. We are both thrilled! So very grateful that you were able to fill my order in such a timely manner and managed to have the new footstool delivered in time for his birthday.

With appreciation,

Hi Gary,
I'm so grateful for the hard work you and the team put into this chair- I can really feel it! I'm very happy to have a chair like the one my parents have back in Texas, it's like carrying a little piece of Texas with me here on the East Coast, which is wonderful. Wishing you and yours the best!

Hi Gary,

I wanted to email you to let you know how much I love the chair- it is so beautiful, it really took my breath away! The colors and grain of the mesquite are phenomenal. It's so comfortable to sit in, and I'm going to have such a great time reading in it. It almost glows in the light. I love my new chair!

Gratefully yours,
G.

Howdy Gary,

Hoping all is well. Here’s my take on the rocker.

My solid cherry rocking chair arrived recently. Virtus Propter Se - Excellence or virtue for it’s own sake ! This is an art object of stunning beauty. Transcendental hand craft. Seemingly impossible? Except: there it is.

I’m a retired master carpenter living in a cabin in central Alaska. A custom rocker has been a long time desire. I’m a minimalist so I had to think carefully if this was the material possession to add to my small cabin. I’ve had a lifelong pursuit of high skill levels in a number of areas : virtuoso classical piano studies, degrees in classical piano and philosophy, 40 years of carpentry and woodworking, serious reading, long distance paddling, skiing, and backpacking, subsistence hunting and fishing, building a homestead, etc. I say all that to say - I’m a bit of a fanatic when it comes to skill and excellence! It takes a great deal to turn my head. My head has been turned. I’ve carefully scrutinized the rocker. It’s as close to perfection as any piece I’ve seen. Kind of spooky actually. The closest I’ve seen is a master wooden boat builder I knew when I lived in the Alaskan coastal village of Haines.

Gary,family and the entire group are extremely easy to work with. And lastly, although not cheap, the chair is very reasonably priced. Frankly, I don’t know how a product of this quality can be made for the price?

I’m already thinking I might need a straight chair at some point!
