Comments from our Patrons

Gary,

I received the chair. I was taking a risk ordering it online without seeing the chair, but this risk was worth taking. Both my girlfriend and I like the chair and footstool very much. I can clearly see the craftsmanship — the lines are sharp and straight where needed and smooth and soft on the chair seat and arms. The wood is warm and very nice to touch.

Had I have more time, I would prefer a chair in walnut, but cherry looks very good. My only comment for you would be to try minimizing the number of visible black knots. My chair have three sizeable very black knots on the arms and the back that I would prefer not to have.

All my friends are very impressed with your work, so you might have more orders coming from DC area.

Thanks again,
M.

Hi Gary,

Everyone who sits in our chairs loves them. You make a beautiful piece of furniture. My husband is a beginning woodworker and is wondering how you get such a smooth finish on your furniture. Do you use mineral oil and sand, sand, sand and do you use an electric sander or is it all by hand? He is so impressed and would love to know how he can get that kind of finish. I am sure you are very particular about your wood too. Is that part of the secret?

Gary,

Your beautiful chairs are holding up well and are a sensation to all visitors. It's uncanny how comfortable that hard wood is for any size or shaped person who has sat in them.

Thanks again for your guidance and all. Your incredible quality has taken away however any notion of me getting into advanced woodworking! ...

Most Respectfully,
J.

Dear Gary and Austin,

We've just received the rocker and the stool. They are just so beautiful and so comfortable (oh, well.. You probably hear this so often...).

Dear Gary and Austin,

My Harris stool arrived yesterday in pristine condition. Another exquisite piece of furniture from your shop and a wonderful addition to my chair. Beautiful figure in the cherry and outstanding craftsmanship.

I simply can't tell you what a pleasure it is to do business with you. Your products embody the perfect blending of art, craftsmanship, beauty, and value. Clearly a great deal of thought has gone into your designs and the results are nothing short of flawless, functional, and beautiful furniture. Well done, gentlemen!

Hopefully, if I'm a very good boy, Santa will treat me to a side table for Christmas this year!

Warmest Regards,
J.

Thank you Gary. Although I was unable to be there when the gift [rocking chair for retirement] was presented, I heard it went over very, very well.

Bonjour Gary,

Quelques mots en français pour vous dire combien nous sommes heureux de nous balancer dans votre rocking chair.

Il est arrivé en parfait état et il est magnifique. Tout le monde se bat pour s'y assoir et je crois qu'en final c'est un cadeau pour tout la famille!

Merci encore et bravo pour ce magnifique travail.

P. et toute la famille

Gary,

My wife is a professor of Industrial Design, and I find it hard to please her keen eye and taste. The chairs were a win though, and they are comfortable as promised. We are happy customers. Thank you.

Thanks for the professional and easy experience as well throughout the process.

Sincerely,
I.

Hi Gary,

The stools arrived yesterday in the middle of a 2 day move in, so I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to write yet. We just got the internet working. They are perfect – perfect color for our kitchen, perfect height, and very comfortable, especially when taking a break from directing movers. I'm very glad we got the wider ones, and I'm glad we stuck with just 4, which allows plenty of room to the sides to hop on and off. Thanks for that advice. The delivery guy could have come straight out of a Coen brothers movie, but everything was totally in tact.

As we watched all our belongings getting moved in, K. remarked that our dining chairs were the best looking of all our things for our new house. None of our kid and pet-battered stuff seems worthy of our pretty new place, except for your furniture . . .

Our cherry rocker has a nice spot for now in our bedroom, looking at a little redwood glade. It's a nice place for it. So our Weeks family of furniture is happy in its new home . . .

Thanks again,
N.

Hi Gary,

My chair arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, I only had time to uncrate it and dash off to work before really getting a chance to test drive it. I will give you a more detailed critique once I get some "seat time" but on initial inspection, your chair is stunningly beautiful. The craftsmanship is superb.

Warmest Regards,
J.
