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,

An update on the chair . . . . . . . exquisite! I've been rocking this morning and it is incredibly comfortable. I particularly enjoy how the chair arms and back cradle the human form. A wonderfully well executed design. I also notice that when lighted at an oblique angle (I have it next to a large picture window), the fairness and detail of the lines really stand out. Gary, your chair belongs in the Smithsonian!

Thanks once again and I'll look forward to a great stool to go with it.

Cheers!

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.

Hi Gary,

The rocker and footstool were delivered last Thursday and were uncrated on Saturday. Both of them are just beautiful. I've, more or less, had to stand in line to try it out. I've heard it is very comfortable.

. . . I had tried out a few locally but they were either very uncomfortable, ugly, too low or all of the above.

Thanks again,
R.

K. and M. love the rocker. They just think there might be a hint of a grandchild in the works. Which may be true . . .

Gary, I did a web search for hand crafted rocking chairs to find you. I am pleased with the quality and workmanship. Thank you!

Gary,

Yes, the chair arrived yesterday. Thanks for inquiring. My wife and I both love it. I am sitting in it right now and find it quite comfortable. The cherry wood is gorgeous and the finish is silky smooth. We really appreciate fine American craftsmanship.

Best regards,
J.

P.S. My son said, "I have never sat in a wooden chair that is this comfortable. It's a really nice chair!" I agree. A perfect chair for desk work and reading.

Hello Gary,

The rocking chair with foot stool and side table arrived yesterday in good order. Your craftsmen have created a beautiful furniture set that is a pleasure to view and touch and will be enjoyed for years to come.

Thank you,

Yes, it came yesterday afternoon, and I've been enjoying it thoroughly ever since then! We took careful note of the packaging when it arrived, as it'll be going with us on all our various postings around the world and we want to make sure we treat it right (and make sure the movers do as well) — is there anything non-obvious we should know to be careful about when shipping it every few years?

We learned about you through a web search. I'm from Seattle, where opportunities to come across a beautiful piece of handmade furniture made out of gorgeous wood are, as it turns out, a whole lot more abundant than they are in the DC area. However, I'd always dreamed of getting one, plus I wasn't about to have an infant around with no chair to rock it in. As it happens, my husband and I both came across your information in separate bouts of searching — I think mine was something like "artisan hardwood rocking chair" or something like that. There are several beautiful options out there, but many of the others were either prohibitively expensive or we (who don't own a car) would have had to get ourselves to another state somehow to see/order/pick up a chair. Seems like we made the right choice!
Another friend who is expecting has already asked where we got it . . .

Thanks again,
M.
