Category: Rocking Chair - Heirloom Value

July 30, 2015

Hi Gary and All,

Just wanted to let you know everything arrived today in perfect condition. The table and chairs are beautiful, in their place, ready for us to use and enjoy them for many years to come. The rocker is so comfortable and gorgeous. It supports the whole body perfectly. And the Otwell tables are great. Light, easy to move around and elegant without fuss. We are thrilled with every piece you made for us.

Thanks!!!

After my wife's mesquite rocker did an unscheduled tour of the California desert, it finally arrived in La Jolla. It is well worth the price and wait! What a spectacular piece of craftsmanship and art. Until the baby arrives, I plan on monopolizing it. It is incredibly comfortable.

We sure are glad we found you. We expect this rocker to be a member of our family for many generations.

Thanks so much, mother and baby are both doing great. S. G. is really progressing well. I can't wait until they are home from the NICU and I can rock her. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful chair. I am sure we will enjoy it for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Gary,

Perhaps the best statement is a pic. It says it all — just got some pics tonight. (See photo below.)

The chair is beautiful and she is thrilled. Thank you so much — another heirloom piece with a story.

We have a couple of more rockers to go. One more daughter and one for me. We're redoing some rooms in the house and I have a spot reserved for a mesquite rocker. It will probably be a couple of months before we order it — waiting for other stuff to come in.

Please give our thanks to the team in the shop. They should be proud to be able to turn out such masterpieces.

All the best

Dear Gary,

Just wanted to thank you so much for the fabulous furniture. The furniture has been much admired by everyone who has seen it and we are so grateful to have these beautiful heirlooms in our lives. The chairs are so comfortable and elegant — I never tire of looking at them.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving . . .

Sincerely A.

p.s. the cats love the table too . . .

Hi Gary,

We opened the rocker yesterday. It is gorgeous. As nice as you describe it and better. Ginny is delighted and as she sat and settled in the first time just kept repeating "Oh wow, oh wow". It looks big on her but she is comfortable and that is what counts. Your chair is a work of art and we are proud to have it in our living room. I expect it is a lifetime purchase.

Dear Gary,

My name is M. and I am friends with L. I was lucky enough to be the recipient of the cherry rocker.

I want to let you know how much our families appreciate the work that you've done with each rocker. We thank you again for creating three works of art. We will cherish our rocker for many generations.

Best,
M.

Hi Gary,

I’m just writing to say thank you for the 3 Rockers that arrived safely yesterday. They are the most beautiful Rockers I have ever seen, and look like they have every chance of lasting for several lifetimes. As I had mentioned to you when I ordered the Rockers, they were to be cared for by 3 separate families who have been joined . . . I chose the Rocking chair because it represents the love between a mother and her child.

Please pass on our thanks to all who worked to make them and in particular to your Grandchildren and friends who designed the 3’s, they did a fabulous job and made the chairs extra special.

Many Thanks
I.

Gary,

The rocking chair and stool arrived in fine shape, and they are everything I hoped for and more. From the moment I sat down in it, my back said thank you. Its a beautiful piece of furniture which we will treasure and use for a long, long time. Thanks not only for the craftsmanship, but for the wonderfully solicitous service in getting it here.

All the best,
E.

Hi Gary,

The chair arrived last night. It is beautiful! And even more comfortable than promised! We are in love with it. The baby is due in just under 6 weeks. As we're setting up the nursery I am so happy to have this piece from our home state at the center.

Main Freight was great, they called when they were on the way and navigated our complicated building complex without complaining. The crate just fit through all of the doors and elevators. (In the photo you can see the crate arrived in great shape, and just fit inside our hall way! NYC apartments really put these things to the test!)

Thank you so much for this chair. We look forward to many rocking years.
Sincerely,
M.
