Dear Gary,

The chair. It looks, feels and IS wonderful. Thank you — it’s quite like owning our very own piece of America; and, you can quote me. The chair is beautifully realized and finished; sitting in it elevates the spirit.

Strangely enough, sitting in it makes one want to get up and DO things. That’s good.

Well done, and thanks for all your care throughout the process.

Good luck.

Yours,
R.R.

Hi Gary,

I've received the rocker in perfect shape. It suits me just fine and my wife will try it out shortly. Thanks for your workmanship, effort, and diligence in providing my family this wonderful rocker. I've never sat in anything so comfortable.

Gary and Family:

Don't know if I've gotten back to you or not. I've been on overload to say the least. The chair is wonderful. Maybe I told you already, but my boys made fun of me getting a rocker. Now they sit in it a lot. Anyway, I like it very much.

It is the most beautiful piece in our nursery, by far and has already been praised as a "family heirloom" . . . I do look forward to rocking my baby come June.

Thank you.

Gary,

I'm sorry I did not let you know sooner that we received the chair and I appreciate your attention through the delivery process (although after seeing the chair, detail is not to be wondered at). I've had this e-mail percolating in my head since we got the rocker and just haven't had the time to send it.

This will probably be the 1938th letter of its kind, but this being our chair, we are absolutely in love with it. Upon pulling it out of the crate, I couldn't believe how smooth the finish felt. It was a different feeling from a varnished piece of furniture where your hand sticks and slides. Here I could feel the wood glide underneath my hand. Since I am not accustomed to encountering this in furniture (this being my first purchase of quality furniture), it delighted me to no end, and that is where my first impression lay. As far as the sitting and rocking, it fits like a glove. It is such a natural feel.

Of course, I only get a few opportunities at it as my wife, S., has taken it over as hers (as I suppose it was intended), and I assume from her long occupations of it, that she is quite pleased with it as well. S. is a yoga teacher, and now, she does all of her class planning and reading in the rocker, and she also likes to listen to music and read to our unborn son while rocking away, getting him acclimated to the motion. Finding her there gives me great joy and visions of my wife and baby together and visions of a happy family to come.

Last I just want to say it is a beautiful rocker, and what seems obvious, becomes delightful as I notice the details of the chair. Upon receiving it, I challenged myself to look at it and discover the whys of it, as far as being a superior piece of furniture. The fine symmetry of the piece and the off beat notes that pop-up balance the eye and gives cheer to investigation. I noticed in the legs, the figure of the wood (a term I learned through your explanation on your website) are symmetrical in the front and the back in both direction and placement. The lines turn and peak at exactly opposite points and I wonder at the challenge of its making. And peering at the glimmer of the surface, you get the sense of depth that exists beyond what you can touch. And I get the sense, that like still water, it will become clearer as the years settle upon it. I am looking forward to appreciating its beauty as time and many rockings make their marks.

All this effort of expression is my attempt to say thank you for making such a lovely rocking chair. It is exactly what we hoped it would be, an companion to our growing family.

Sincerely,
G.S.
