Gary,

Today our son turned 6 months and we've had our beautiful rocker for just one week longer than that. Upon opening the crate I knew immediately that my wife and I really had our first work of art for our home. It compliments our nursery perfectly and would compliment the style of any room in our home that we might later choose for it. Your chair rocks like a champ and certainly served its purpose rocking our son to sleep for those first testing weeks. One thing I did not expect was for the chair to be so soft and touchable. I have never before experienced such incredible smoothness in a sanding job; nor have I seen any craftsmanship glow the way this chair does!

Now that your rocker has been officially crowned a family heirloom, I had to send you our sincerest thanks. Your special care in sizing and cutting our chair back inscription is priceless, and I recommend it to anyone looking to make their chair truly unique. You really do offer an incredible piece at truly a bargain price. You should continue to be proud of the work you and your shop turns out. I look forward to purchasing a dining room set from you in a few years when we are more capable. Thank you again!

Gary:

We love the rocker! The craftsmanship is remarkable; the design inspired. It is seemingly molded to one's body without a pressure point to be found! You absolutely do not need a cushion. We had some friends over last weekend and they loved it as well. I wouldn't be surprised if you receive some additional orders as a result, but I suspect that's how you get most of your business.

It is reassuring to know that there is still someone out there that understands quality and takes pride in their work.

Regards,

Hello Gary,

Thank you very much for following up with us. I have been meaning to contact you. The chair is wonderful. I must admit I was a little skeptical about some of the claims, but it fits me (5'11"), my father (6'5"), and my mother (5'1") perfectly. The craftsmanship is top notch, the delivery process was great, and the chair looks like it will be a wonderful addition to our lives. Thank you very much.

Cheers,

Hello Gary.

We are already enjoying our beautiful chair. What an example of form and function. I have never experienced such smooth wood and we are amazed at its velvety touch even on the cross-grain ends. We are so appreciative of your art and craftsmanship in every detail of this family heirloom.

As an occupational therapist (retired), this chair is not only artful, but should be in every physical rehabilitation center, and, at least in every home. The vestibular (sometimes called the "sixth" sense) input from rocking forward and backward stimulates this important neurological system, which serves to balance and regulate output of the body's neuro-muscular centers. Putting it in behavioral terms, last night, I noticed, after rocking for several minutes a lingering feeling of well-being and relaxation. I felt that I had just arrived back from a brisk walk around the neighborhood or maybe even a massage! Just running your hands over the soft curves of this chair charges another sensory system — tactile input. Visual senses are awakened just walking into the living room . . . . . this chair just lures you to sit down!

So far, R. and I have not argued once about who gets to sit in our rocking chair, but we are definitely aware that most likely it will happen one day. We are thrilled, Gary, with your chair and impressed with your professional services surrounding the shipping, delivery, and customer satisfaction. We seldom see this kind of craft and art anymore and are so pleased that we have been a part of it. Thanks to you and to your family for your dedication and vision. It is poetry.

Sincerely,
L.S.

Dear Gary:

The rocker arrived in perfect condition and it is beautiful — everything I expected. My husband says it's a work of art. My son — who is 20 — first said, "How come you got that?" Then last evening (as he sat in it), he said, "I know I wondered why you bought this rocker, but I find myself sitting in it every time I come into the room." He was there again this morning! (My answer to him was that I bought it because it looked beautiful and I think rocking is soothing and relaxing for all of us.)

Thank you so much!

Gary — it arrived yesterday (Tuesday) and I couldn't be happier. It is a very beautiful piece of craftsmanship and without a doubt one of the nicest things I own.

Thank you.

Gary,

The chair arrived last Thursday without incident and we couldn't be happier. The wood and craftsmanship are superb. Anne's been sitting in the chair every free moment she gets and even dozed off in it the other night.

Thanks for a great transaction and for such a great chair. We're happy we found you, and we expect the chair to become a treasured family heirloom future generations will fight over.

Thanks again.

Gary and Leslie —

The chair arrived, as promised, in perfect condition. It is beautifully made, beyond our expectations, and we're delighted with it. Many thanks.

My chair is parked in my living room. Along with the foot stool. Apparently UPS called me yesterday, while I was away from work. Anyway, they delivered the chair and stool around 10 o'clock. Both are in excellent shape and true works of art. I am very pleased with the walnut wood. And very happy I decided on walnut.

I was only able to sit in it for a brief time, since I had to come back here to work. Anyway, it was a rather cold sit. The chair had not warmed up yet. The weather here has taken a drastic turn back toward winter, and I doubt if the UPS truck sat in a heated garage last night.

Next to my chair (here) are some selected reading assignments that will be going home with me. After I get a fire started in the stove, I will plant myself in the most comfortable chair in the universe.

Thank you very much.
