Comments from our Patrons

We did get it and we love it! We spent the evening acting like kids attempting to share a new toy — "it's MY turn . . ." It's more comfortable than I even imagined, and I'm really glad we got the footstool too. I just entered my third trimester, and kicking my feet up is a good thing right now! The delivery guy was on time and very courteous, so that worked out well too. I imagine you'll be hearing from us at some point when we decide we need a "his" to go with this "hers" chair. Thanks for everything. It was a pleasure working with you.

Hi Gary,

It is nice to hear from you! Thank you for the good wishes. We do feel blessed that we have a healthy daughter. These first few weeks have been full of discovery!

I'm glad you had a chance to look at the photos. I forgot that you had never "seen" me before. I think I saw a photo on your website of you and your family awhile back, which is always nice to connect a face to a person. The rocker is just gorgeous in the room, if I may say so myself! Everytime I see it I'm taken away with how beautiful it is, and just want to drop what I'm doing to go sit in it. M. seems to really enjoy it as well.

Best wishes to you and your family. Do keep in touch and take care.

Sincerely Yours,
C., C., and M. W.

Just wanted to let you know that E. (6 days old today!), is thoroughly enjoying his new rocking chair.

Thank you for making us such a beautiful piece of art.

Best,

Thanks Gary

The baby arrived safe and sound on Tuesday and the rocker is great. Beautiful grain design on the headrest. Very comfy. Thanks very much.

Hi Gary,

I received the chair yesterday. My wife is ecstatic. The chair is exquisite, a work of art. The confidence and pride you have in your work is truly apparent. Excellence is obviously the only acceptable outcome.

My 85 year old grandmother spent five months knitting a beautiful blanket for her soon to be born great grandchild. When I placed the chair in the baby's nursery, my wife hung the blanket over the back of the chair. The craftsmanship in the blanket and the craftsmanship in the chair seem to compliment each other.

Regards,

Gary,

The chair arrived without problems. It is absolutely beautiful . . . as advertised. Everybody is taken with it. I would like to place my order for one made of mesquite, as we discussed. R. and I got to rock in it together for the first time today. She seemed to like it a lot . . . but she will not be able to tell you for a few years.

Thanks, Again for the great chair.

Got the chair. Mom, dad and baby all love it. It is so substantial and beautiful and I love the feel of the wood. Looking forward to seeing how it ages. The best part: major reduction I was getting from nursing, the lower back support is key!
Thanks a lot.
Nice doing business with you.
Have a great summer.

Gary,

. . . The chair is very beautiful and Ellen (who is due in just a couple of weeks!) spends a lot of time rocking happily in it. And just to see how true to life your advertising is, we had our own 6'4" friend come by and sit in the chair — he was every bit as comfortable in it as Ellen is.

Thanks again,
D.M.

Hi, Gary.

Your timing was perfect! The rocker arrived on Friday, April 23, and H. made her appearance two days later (a week early). I am sending you a photo of K. and H. in the rocker. Both K. and her husband M. (who does his share of rocking and singing to the baby) pronounce the rocker incredibly comfortable, as well as beautiful. They are really thrilled with it, as am I. (Yep, I did some rockin' too!)

Thanks so much for all that you and your fellow chairmakers did to create this special piece.

Kind regards,
K.B.

Thanks very much Gary I appreciate it.

As for the rocking, my wife has been using the chair periodically to get comfortable in the late stages of the pregnancy. She still has 2-3 weeks to go.

Thanks again for such a lovely product, this type of craftsmanship seems to be lost in today's society.
