"Thank you SO much for having Zachary Kirk fax the pencil post bed instruction sheet to me last evening. I have just now put aside my socket wrench, pushed this lovely bed into place, have plopped the spring/mattress on top, and wanted to tell you asap that it is absolutely stunning in the room. You will have to put a notation somewhere that one person is able to put the bed together without helpers! I haven't slept on it yet, but how can it be anything but a perfect night's sleep! Once again, thank you for this handsome piece of beautifully made furniture, and for going the extra distance on my behalf."

Shane,
I hope this finds you and your wife well. It's been almost a year since my bed arrived and I just wanted you to know that I love it as much if not more than when I first put it together...
Seriously, it is so beautiful and stunning and envied by all my friends. I travel a lot now and so hate sleeping anywhere else but on my bed. You are a true craftsman and should be very proud of the work you do. Have you gotten to work with Tiger Maple again?
Keep in touch and have a wonderful holiday season.
Take care, Tate

"Thought you might appreciate an update; we continue to love our bed. We just completed a cross country move and our bed is in perfect shape, easy to disassemble and reassemble and remains very sturdy. Five years and counting and the pine wood has proven to be very durable. Thank you for the excellent piece of furniture."
