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,

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.

Thanks for your note. Yes, it did arrive safely. D. used it last night when she was nursing and said this morning that she loved it — it was so comfortable compared to the chair she had been using.

Good job!!!

Thanks so much for your good works.

Got it Friday (before the baby). It is beautiful and as comfortable as you promised and then some, we just love it.

Thank-you!

Hi Gary,

I was in SC for Thanksgiving and got to see the rocker in person. It is perfect and I couldn't be happier with it. Thank you and your artisans for such fine craftsmanship.

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first child in May and I know the wee one will spend many hours being rocked to sleep in the cherry rocker.

I hope to make it to your shop in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again and I hope your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving,

Hello Gary,

Happy holidays to you and yours in Wimberley. Our new cherry rocker is doing very well, it is well-used and well loved by both the new baby and the new mom. In fact, I rocked the baby to sleep in the chair just yesterday.

I'm writing primarily to make a suggestion about your website that might help sell a few more rockers. I bought our rocker after finding the web site through Google and spending many hours reading the entire site and looking at all of the pictures multiple times. It would have helped me to make the decision if I could have seen even larger versions of the great photos you have on the site.
[C., I hope we get to it. Thank you. Gary]

Hi Gary,

It is so nice to finally write you after silently getting to know you via your e-mails to Chris. I often feel it is difficult to get to know someone thorough writing, but we both feel that, through this huge venture, we have gained a friend. Your genuine spirit could be felt with every e-mail written and now that we have your beautiful rocking chair here, we will miss the frequent correspondence we've so looked forward to. Hopefully it doesn't have to end and we can continue writing every so often.

Gary, I knew that your rocking chairs were made with precision, hand-made care, and were beautiful just by reading your well organized website. But when opening the huge box to slide the chair out, my mouth completely dropped. Your work is phenomenal and I was speechless. The design, color, documentation, signature inscription, incredibly, smooth finish, etc. were more than I expected. The tender loving care that you and your company gave to making and shipping this chair was/is felt the minute one goes to touch it, let alone sit in it. I know that this heirloom will be much enjoyed for the years to come by the three of us (we just found out that we are pregnant!). Thank you, Gary, for your superior work. You are certainly an artist and we are lucky to have found you.

Hi Gary,

Now it's C. writing, what can I say that C. didn't already perfectly express? The chair is just gorgeous! We had no problems with the shipping, everything went very smoothly, and the chair arrived in perfect condition, safely and securely crated. It is clearly a work of art and I know it will fit very nicely into our home. What surprised me most was when I touched the chair and first sat in it. The finish is amazing! I did not believe wood could be worked to such a fine finish. And it is also very comfortable! Both C. and I have had only limited time up till now to enjoy it, but every time we sit in it we are surprised at how comfortable it is without having to use any cushions. I noticed in particular that if I sit up straight with my rear against the back of the chair then it gives me a wonderful even support of my entire back that feels very nice. I believe I can easily fall asleep in your rocker!

Thank you Gary! We will keep in touch!

Your Friends,

C. & C.
