It's here!

Looks very handsome. We are happy. We are even talking about a cherry chair, but I'll have to come back to you on that.

Thanks — it's beautifully crafted and of course comfortable.

Best,

Gary,

The rocking chair was delivered this afternoon as scheduled. Within 10 minutes of unwrapping it, my grandson was asleep in my arms (see attached)!

It’s a lovely chair and is in perfect condition.

Thank you,

Gary,

The rocking chair I recently purchased from you has exceeded my expectations.

I purposely waited until I had the chair a couple of months to see if the novelty of the rocker would wear off . . . but it hasn't. I've always wanted a good rocking chair to sit in to read or chat with others and now I have it. I never tire of sitting in the chair; it's a great fit for my body and back. I find myself sliding my fingers up and down the arms, the wood is so smooth and appealing. And of course, what I've always liked about your chair, every inch of the entire chair is just as smooth as the arms. I enjoy a good rock, and your chair has given me just that

I wrote at the beginning of my note that the chair has exceeded my expectations. I'm amazed how well the walnut wood with its natural finish fits in with the light oak that I have throughout the majority of my house. This chair, like all of the other chairs I've seen that you've crafted, is a work of art, especially with the magnificent grain and the way you've used the grain to bring out the beauty of the chair. Such a seemingly simple design, yet the chair stands out as a thing of beauty over all the other furniture in our living area.

I see you've delivered approximately 23 more chairs since I acquired #1767 in May. If these most recent purchasers were looking for a beautiful chair to rock to their heart's content, I'm sure you have 23 more delighted customers. Come on, West Virginia!!

My thanks to you, Austin, and the rest of your team for your passion for excellence. I observe it and feel it every day!!

Mr. Weeks,

The rocking chair arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was great. Thanks for a beautiful rocking chair that I'll pass down to my children.

Hello Gary and Aubrey:

The rocker and table are great. The color is nice, the wood is well matched, and it's so comfortable that we're finding excuses to sit down.

Only problem was the delivery service. They did not come in their time window, then came at the end of their second time window.

Can you tell me more about this mahogany? Is it Honduran?

Thanks again, and thanks for this follow up note.

Gary,

The chair is beautiful, she was surprised, and she loves it. Thanks for helping me make such a memorable birthday for my wife and for providing us with a piece of furniture that will become a family heirloom.

Sincerely,

Hi Gary!

Yes, S. got the rocker on Monday!! I've been out of town since then, and just got home to the good news. She LOVES it, as does the grandmother (my sister), the new dad, and everyone else that's rocked in it. I can't wait to visit and see the new baby as well as the new rocker. Thank you and your team so very much for getting it out so quickly. The baby had been home only 2 days before it arrived. And please don't forget to let me know if you ever get any pecan wood.

Thank you again,
S.K.
