Hello Gary and Leslie —
The rocker was delivered yesterday. The box was in reasonably good condition; the edge guards are brilliant. The delivery guy and I opened the box and removed the chair but did not unwrap it. Everything looked undamaged and I signed for it. I unwrapped it this morning and brought it inside. It is beautiful; an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. I sat on it and immediately smiled because it is exactly as described on your website. Every surface is perfect. It is so comfortable. I was mostly unsure about there being only 4 slats in back but my concerns were unwarranted. I am looking forward to a rainy day to sit there by my window and read a good book, not that I won't be enjoying it on nice days, too.
Thank you,

Hi Gary,
I have been meaning to write to you for several days . . .
The table and chairs were delivered as promised without incident. All packing appeared to be intact from your preparation.
We just love the table and chairs. They are so beautiful. Your blending of fine craftsmanship and elegance stand out. The chairs compliment your rocking chair that is nearby.
Thank you for caring to create such fine furniture.

Gary,
I hope you are well. A couple of folks around here think the bench is the most comfortable seating we've seen from your shop. That is saying quite a piece.
All the best,

Dear Gary,
They are perfect! Thank you so much — we could not be happier.
Also, what a treat to have them arrive in boxes decorated with the children's artwork on the top. How adorable!
Thank you again for our beautiful and so comfortable bar stools!Best,

Gary,
Yes, the rockers and accessories were delivered. We're soooo pleased; they're better than we imagined!
We've already decided to pass them on to our kids when they have children . . . then we'll purchase more. Please keep building!
Thank you,

Gary,
Yes, we received the box decorated by a grand daughter (I presume) containing a remarkable creation . . .
We had you ship the cherry rocker to us in KS, as we plan to carry it with us as we travel next week to NY for a family gathering with J and S (the recipient). This will afford us the luxury of watching their response to its arrival in their lives in person.
And, that will be a delight!! The decorated box will be opened to a marvelous creation. Well conceived, the execution was flawless with a reverence for the material. The idea of the many days of sun and rain and snow in the growing of a tree(s) to produce the wood that your capable hands crafted into an instrument (a thing of beauty in itself) that S. will slowly introduce another being into the rhythms of existence in . . . let the music ebb and flow . . .
So, though I took a week to acknowledge my reaction to your work in hopes of getting the words right, it boils down to a simple Thank You. My admiration and respect to you and your son and your crew for sharing beauty with us and those who follow us.
Till then . . . may the gods grace you all with health and well being

Dear Gary (and team)
I absolutely love the chair. Somehow my favorite little touch is the way my hands fit around the ends of the armrests, I know you sloped it there and I really like what you did. And everything else is fantastic. One of my best purchases ever.
Thanks!

Gary,
Yes the chair and foot rest stool arrived last Thursday. Everything looks great! I appreciate you figuring out a way to sand blast the "Z..." sign design onto the chair. The quality of your work is impressive.
Thank you.

Dear Gary,
My apologies for not writing sooner. Yes, they arrived and are beautiful!
They complement our new kitchen perfectly. I especially enjoy the offset footrests, my husband is 6'5" and uses the lower one, while I am 5'3" and use the higher one. Such a thoughtful design detail. Thank you for your excellent craftsmanship. A few action shots for you and your team . . . as you can see, they also work as cat beds.
Take care, and thanks again,
G.Lake Forest Park, WA
