Gary,
They received the chair and are enjoying it more than they expected. I had the pleasure of seeing it on Saturday and have to admit that the craftsmanship is superb!! The chair will complement the back porch of their soon to be built home quite perfectly. After completion of the house, a second rocker may be in order . . . I'll keep you posted. Again, thank you for such a unique and extraordinary piece of art.

Good Friday morning, Gary!
Given to me as a birthday present by my husband, your (now MINE!) rocking chair is the most beautiful, most comfortable piece of furniture we have every seen! It is obvious that it has been expertly crafted by caring hands from extraordinary selections of wood. It is quite perfect! It is the only chair that my oddly crooked tailbone has ever felt comfortably resting in!
Delivery went without a hitch, as the delivery man helped me unscrew, cut, tear and uncover this work of art that will be treasured for generations!
In fact, we are so impressed, we are considering purchasing some of your dining room furniture. Would you be able to send us a sample of the "hand-planed" surface? Or, if not possible, could you email a photo of this option to us?
Fine job on your website, as well! It is chock full of useful information!
Many thanks and best wishes!

Dear Gary
Apologies for the delayed feedback I have been away from an email facility for a few days.
The chair arrived in perfect condition and is now hidden in the garage awaiting Christmas Day. Our children know and are very excited as well. Like you I have no doubt that J. will love it !
Thank you once again to your and your team. The service is faultless and so is the product. I hope that you all prosper and continue to enjoy what you do so well.
Should you ever have any inquiries from England, please feel free to pass on my contact details so that I can give you a reference!
Have a happy Christmas and a great New Year !

Gary, the chair has arrived, and made it through both customs and quarantine during the week. Bet you are glad to know there is no woodworm! It is sitting in our spare room, still in bubble wrap, with the door guarded by a "do not enter" sign made by my 13 year old daughter. It is fantastic to have received it by Christmas, I am sure T. will be surprised and delighted when he receives it on Christmas morning.
Many thanks.
Hope you and your family have a Happy Christmas

Just wanted to let you know that we received our chair yesterday via UPS Freight. It arrived in excellent condition and is presently sitting in our living room. My wife loves it. I know we will cherish this chair for years and pass it on to our children.
Thanks for making this Christmas special.

The rocker has arrived (in a snowstorm!) and it is in perfect condition.
What a wonderful piece of furniture, I know that K. will be very pleased with it when she comes next week with my daughter and grandson.
Many thanks

Dear Gary –
Just to let you know our two daughters are absolutely thrilled with their rockers.
So were we when the girls broke open the packages and we all saw what beautiful items they are. The workmanship is exquisite.
Fortunately we shipped them over unopened in your excellent packing cases: . . .
Thank you for our family heirlooms-to-be.

Gary,
K. LOVES her rocker. I can't say she has been off her rocker since it got here. This has been the best birthday present I have ever gotten her. OK, she did pick it out and I just ordered it, but WOW, she is happy.
I have to tell you, the picture in the New Yorker doesn't do your work justice. You and your team are truly artists. The chair is beautiful.
By the way, your packaging was ingenious. We especially liked how you only used the foam packaging in the minimum spots you needed since that stuff doesn't recycle well.
Not only did I enjoy talking with you on the phone when I ordered, the whole process start to finish with your wonderful chair up to and including your email below has been great.
Thank you so much. We will gladly be a reference.

T. and S. received the rocker yesterday. It arrived in great shape and they absolutely love it. I can't wait to see it myself. Thanks for the great service. I'm sure the family will enjoy the rocker for years to come.

Gary,
It arrived without a blemish. M. and K. were absolutely thrilled! The baby is due any day now and M.'s Mom is packed with a plane ticket in her purse. Thanks for the great design and workmanship. The plaque was also a surprise and they immediately realized they had a family heirloom, and a most useful one at that. The rocker will be put to a most valuable service very soon. I will be in Phoenix for Christmas and will get to see it and put it to use with the new grandson. What a thrill!
Thanks for the great job you and all your craftsmen and caring employees are doing. They clearly enjoy their work. It shows.
Regards,
A.G.Houston, Texas
