Dear Gary,

D. has had his 50th birthday rocking chair for almost a year now and I can tell you that if he is home and sitting down, it is likely that he is sitting in his rocker. He is so pleased to have it. The chair sits in our living room, near the wood stove, in front of the windows looking over our back yard. The chair is comfortable enough that he can sit for hours working (he's a computer scientist and sometimes works at home) and it is roomy enough that he and his laptop fit nicely. Thank you so much for working with me to give him something that he really enjoys and cherishes.

Best,
S.

P.S. He was delighted with the surreptitious carved lizard.

Gary: I've been meaning to send a note. Yes, it's here and arrived in perfect condition! I've rocked in it, napped in it and even played my ukelele in it. Comfortable and beautiful!! I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment. Thanks for your craftsmanship!

Wow do we love the chair and the table!! I was going to take them to my [office] but my fiance' sat in it and said no way.

Both are beautiful and comfortable and exquisitely crafted. Thank you — I look forward to ordering something else! Came packed in a crate that was like Fort Knox — we are using the box as a fort for the kids down the street (until the rain makes it unsuitable). Thanks again Gary.

With appreciation,

Gary —

The rocker arrived yesterday, and it is beautiful . . .

My wife is so pleased, she would now like a Harris stool to go with it in cherry. Would you place an order for us? . . .

Thanks,

Hi Gary,

We received the stools, and rocker last night.

Everything was perfect, and we are extremely impressed with your workmanship and design.

Thank you for all your attention, and follow up.

We hope to order again in the future.

Gary,

We received the walnut table and chairs in good condition from CDS, no damage I have seen.

It is beautiful! And it fits the space, just as planned. We look forward to many years of enjoyment, with the family gathering around the masterpiece of workmanship you folks have created.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
S. and M.

Gary,

I received the rocker in good condition about noon. It looks mighty fine! I hope it lasts as long as the last one (>30 years). One question, the felt on the rockers, how long will it last on a tile floor? When it wears out what should I do?

Thanks again,
R.

My entire family and several friends who have seen the furniture, so far, thoroughly agree that the chairs and table are awesome.

I am so glad that I ordered the furniture from you . . .

Hi Gary,

Yes, DB Schenker and I arranged for delivery today and it actually arrived about an hour ago. I noted a couple of punctures on the carton, but they were rather superficial and I was confident the furniture was not damaged. Actually the chair is in perfect condition. I noticed you left off the strips after all (if you recall my agonized e-mail about that). Since this chair will always be on a rug, I imagine it will be just fine.

Well, now as to what I'd really like to say: Even though I had such high expectations from my previous experience, I was just as excited to see our new rocking chair as I was the first time. The mesquite is gorgeous! My husband is thrilled with his birthday present and can now rock and read just as comfortably in New York as he can in San Francisco. Thanks again and again for such fine work.

Best regards,
L.
