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.

My husband who is very critical was very pleased with the pieces as well. I will be putting in another order soon, as I know these pieces won't last and I want to get going with another order as soon as I can. I do know that it will be a 3-6 month wait per your recent letter but gosh, after seeing your wonderful pieces it will now be even harder to wait for them to arrive!!!!

The tool tray is one of my favorites. Well....That's hard to say, cause the table isn't together yet, and I really love the bench too. I can't wait to take pictures of them. I'm going to use the table to take pics of the plates and the tool tray too. I'm going to use the pics on my website. I think these pieces are going to look fabulous in my tradeshow booths, I really do."

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."

The bed arrived and it is wonderful. We are so very pleased at the craftsmanship. Many furniture sellers tried to discourage me from purchasing a "pine" bed, telling me it would not last or would break. All our friends are asking where we purchased this bed; and we are gladly telling them. This bed is fantastic, and so solid.
From: Matthew Grimmer 2005-05-17, Austin, Texas

You have been so helpful. I really appreciate it and am looking forward to the beds. Thanks so much!
From: Julie H. 2005-05-17, San Jose, CA

I received the plate rack yesterday! It's beautiful and so so big. I had no idea how big it was going to be. Duh - guess that's why it's called a "6" plate rack. Now I can finally drag out my plates which are still packaged in the original Styrofoam packaging... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
From: Suzanne L. 2005-05-17, Houston, TX
