We received the maple rocker on Friday. It is both a museum piece and a perfectly functional piece of furniture. Thanks! One note. While this rocker was not harmed (a slight roughness on the bottom of one rocker in a short stretch), the bubble wrap had worn through at the very bottom of the chair and the wood of the rocker had been rubbing on the cardboard. No problem for us, but I wanted you to know. The outside of the box was perfect. Thanks again.

Hi Gary,

YES! We have received the rocking chair! We love it! As promised, it is the most comfortable rocker we've ever sat in. And besides that, it's beautiful!

We have no idea how you can make a rocking chair with measurements to please everyone — but you have — and we are grateful!

I am sitting in the rocking chair as I write this message! We are very excited about the baby arriving in a few weeks — the baby already seems to like the chair. As soon as E. gets up from rocking, the baby starts bumping around.

Thank you!
N. and E.

P.S. There was some lovely artwork on the box. We enjoyed the pink castle and ? battle ? — there seemed to be a bow and arrow involved. Do all shipments come with complimentary artwork? :)

Gary,

The chair arrived yesterday in perfect condition. I have been sitting in it as often as possible since that time. It is everything I thought it would be.

In December of last year, I injured my back caring for my 91 year old mother. I have been trying to rehabilitate my back since returning home in late January. Sitting in your chair feels so good to my back. Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, We received the chair and stool yesterday after a bit of tag with the delivery guy. It is in great shape. I would have responded sooner, but my wife is back in Texas this week and I felt obligated to break it in for both of us and didn't wake up til' just now. :)

Thanks again,

Dear Gary,

Thank you! Your chairs were delivered yesterday to my parents (with great care, I'm told), and as you can see in the picture, they were very well received. :) As my Mom's subject implies, these chairs have found a permanent home. :)

My parents insist that despite their being made for outdoor use, that these chairs are simply too beautiful to consider having outside. Both of my parents are amazed at both the design and the comfort.

We'll be joining them in Ohio over the weekend, and look forward to seeing these up close (and perhaps even stealing a few minutes in one). :)

Thanks again for everything . . . all of your correspondence and help with the purchase, and of course, the quality of your product!

With gratitude,

Gary,

The chair arrived yesterday. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! And COMFORTABLE!

The delivery guy was very nice and the box was in good condition. The box also came with a beautiful art work on the outside cover. Please thank Bela for us. I enclosed a photo of the art below.

We are very pleased, Thank you.

The furniture arrived on Thursday as they promised.

That was a hefty packaging job on your part. The chair looks beautiful (as do the stool and table, too). I've sat in it the past two days and find myself sighing as I relax. And even my dog loves sitting on my lap when I'm in the chair (although he loves sitting on my lap wherever I'm sitting).

Thanks for your craftsmanship and attention.

The rocking chair and footstool arrived this afternoon just as I was making a cup of tea, so naturally I unpacked the chair (yielding me enough bubble wrap to last the rest of my life!) and enjoyed my tea while I sat in it.

I am 5'10" tall, and the chair fits perfectly, just as your website said it would. The only smoother finish I have ever felt is a new baby's bottom . . . I am looking forward to many years of reading, resting and rocking in the chair, and I thank you for the craftsmanship that it encompasses. It was worth the wait and all the saving up for this treat! . . .

With thanks and best wishes —

Gary,

I've had your beautiful furniture for nearly two months now, and it just keeps getting better!

My friends A. and J., Air Force friends for 40 years, who live up front in the Big House, come by most mornings for coffee and a peaceful rock and some entertainment from the birds and squirrels just outside our screened deck. It is glorious!

I dwelled long and hard on this purchase, and checked out a bunch of rocker-makers. None of them were really within my budget, but I couldn't be happier with my little extravagance. I've already forgot about the expense. I'm particularly happy that I wound up choosing your firm. Though your chairs are a little less "swoopy than many of the Maloof Replicas, I usually follow my Mom's dictum, "Simple and Elegant". Your furniture is indeed that, in spades.

Your short video online helped me make up my mind. It is very informative and I could readily see how much thought you have given to development of the rockers. Your easy style, and manner is very charming.

A word on comfort: I try to spend a little time about sunrise out on the deck reading I always am amazed that I never get figgidy or uncomfortable in any way, though sitting on a piece of hard wood! The sculpture of the seat is perfect for my old frame. If I were to change anything, it would be to lower the arms, perhaps an inch, but that's really nit-picking, and may say more about my proportions. Last evening Jim, who had been outside rocking for awhile, said, "Do you ever fall asleep in that chair?" I think one of your beauties will be on the Christmas List for my friends!

I haven't had the time to enjoy the comfort and rocking serenity that I'd like lately. I've been re-building the old bridge you see in the attached photo. It's a pretty big job for this old novice, but I'm enjoying the process. The bridge is front and center in my otherwise lovely view from my rocker, and it will soon be seriously enhanced.

Thank you again for the personal time and communication during my evaluation process and waiting time. It is most appreciated, and rather uncommon these days.
