Hello, Judy and Mike,
Well, the tables made it a day early and they are even more breathtaking than I imagined! The tabouret is a peach, if the other one is still available, I want it. You can wait to send it with the end table if that's okay. I can send you the money for it now or we could settle up all at once when the end table is ready.
Thanks again!

Hi Judy,
I unpacked part of the bed last night (still waiting for the mattress) and it looks beautiful. The work you all do is truly art!

Judy,
YES! Everything is great. Picked up the table this weekend and it's very nice. But I already knew it was nice from the photos so thank you for those.
I have a friend who wants to buy a day bed from you and I will tell him it was a very positive experience. Thanks again!

Hello Mike
I was out of town a few days, just received the table and it is beautiful. We are very pleased with it. If you would be so kind as to take a look at these photos of my chair, and possibly advise me on improving the finish.
It looks like it has lightened over the years, especially next to my new table. Thanks for the fine table and any advice you can give me. I have attached two photos

Judy and Mike,
The table arrived safely on Monday afternoon, and no one can accuse you all of not packing well. The table is absolutely beautiful, there really aren't words to describe how much I like it. I'm in awe of your ability, and look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks.

I am sorry I am just now emailing you all but my email has been down and I have been going crazy - finally it is back up!
Thank you so much for the crib - it is absolutely beautiful - I am almost scared to put Alexandra in it - it is a piece of art!
We appreciate so much that you all did this for us - when our grandchildren are sleeping in the crib we will be telling the story of how wonderful you all are. Please know that one little girl is going to be having sweet dreams in the most beautiful and sturdy crib.
Thank you again!

Hi Judy -
We picked it up on Saturday. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm going to take a picture of Cassidy in it and email it to you. She loves it. Feels like such a big girl! Thank you so much. My family will enjoy it for many years to come. You do amazing work and I hope to order more pieces in the future.

Hello,
I thought you would like to know that the table arrived Friday. Finally, after working at if for two days (you do pack very, very well!), I did manage to get it unpacked this afternoon and it is gorgeous and absolutely perfect for the room it is in.
Many thanks,

Thank you so much. You have made my wife and I happy campers. I absolutely love your furniture. You can tell the attention to detail that you have and the furniture looks exquisite. We have just bought a new house and these will just add to the excitement of the remodeling we have done. I mainly have mission furniture in the home but these will probably be our favorite pieces.
I will get on Paypal right now and get everything paid for. I will also put my shipping address on that form. Again, thanks so much and have a great holiday.

Mike,
That is acceptable. Could you also build me two sofa tables to match?? If so just send me an invoice on paypal if that is alright and I will take care of payment on half of all three tables. I much appreciate your efforts. I just absolutely LOVE your workmanship and don't want any other tables in my home. You guys are the best and I truly think your furniture is more art than furniture. Take care and I hope you get that virus under control.

Hello,
The table arrived today and is really great - we'll be proud to display it. And our Siamese cat already enjoys sitting in the bottom shelf! - so it has passed "the test." (Plus it was so well packaged that we could hardly open it!)
Thanks again and we may decide to buy another table soon (although we'll be looking for a different style Craftsman table, not a matching one).

Hello...
So after a hectic holiday with relatives in town for three weeks and my traveling for work throughout January, I am finally sitting down to thank you for the wonderful, beautiful, well-crafted, and forever-to-be-loved table that my husband and I bought from you. We love it and it will be part of our family for many years to come!
Thank you and when we buy that house (whenever that will be, living in way too expensive San Diego) we will buy our Mission reproductions from you. The surface and finish is exquisite!
Thank you again!

Judy,
Received the table on Friday (fast! - and so well packed) and we are exceedingly happy with it! It is beautiful - the top is actually beyond very attractive, it is worthy of display as a piece of fine art. The epitome of fine woodworking. Thank you.
Sincerely,
John & Sandra Kornuc

We received the highchair and it is absolutely beautiful!! It is everything that we could have imagined. Even my very picky husband is very impressed.
We hope to commission a mission vanity chair from you soon. We recently bought a lovely antique mission vanity (kind of a rare find) and don't have a suitable chair to go with it. We will be talking to you soon. Thanks again for all of your help...your work is amazing.

Hi Judy
Just wanted to let you know that the coffee table arrived Sunday and we picked it up at Newark on Monday. Wow! It is truly beautiful and the right color. Your craftsmanship is brilliant and collaborative effort to get us exactly what we needed is very much appreciated. We still need some other pieces e.g. end table, book case. When we are ready to buy furniture again, Jeff and I look forward to doing business with you!
Thanks so much!

The table has arrived in good shape, thanks to your excellent packing, and I am happy with it. It is in my living room with an Aurora Studio lamp on it and it looks great.

Dear Schmitt Family,
The beautiful furniture arrived and in perfect shape! We unpacked it yesterday and are enjoying the tables in our home...saving the fantastic headboard for the new inn. You really do beautiful work. The wood is satiny smooth and truly a delight!
Thank you again for the beautiful furniture. We will look forward to doing more business with you.
Sincerely, Liz and Ron

Hi, Received the table yesterday! It is a wonderful and well made labor of love. You should mark it so people know who made it...for the future generations. The shipping was fast and secure. I will be a return customer!

Hi Judy. We just received the table today and it is beautiful - really a fine piece. We will definitely be ordering more pieces from you once the house is done. Remember that the beds get shipped directly to the site, care of the builder who is on site every day. Thanks again and happy new year!

Please share our thanks with Mike. We will DEFINITELY be back for more.

Just wanted to send off a note to let you know my coffee table arrived and it's BEAUTIFUL! What a great birthday present. It looks terrific in our house. Looking forward to getting more of your pieces. We just have to figure out exactly what we want and we will let you know.
Thanks again,
Lisa Brault
Hiya Mike,
That fabulous table I bought from you arrived this morning. And I do mean fabulous. Wowzers, but that's a beaut.
I thought about bragging that it took me less than ten minutes to unpack the table (true), but think maybe I'll hold off since I have since managed to lug it up one of two flights of stairs.
Anyway, I want to thank you for making such a fine piece of furniture. No doubt, its antique quality and fine craftsmanship will cause our nieces to drop many a hint about the best person to inherit this beautiful coffee table.
All the best,
Esmaa

The end table was really well wrapped! It survived intact and is the one piece of furniture my husband loved as soon as he saw it. It is beautifully made and we will enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for all your help.

Mike and Judy,
all of our lovely furniture arrived last night, did you hear my screams of delight?>> Everything is beautiful and fits in perfectly in our home, we are so excited. The pieces are solid and will be around for us to hand down to our kids, its really amazing. Thank you for all of your hard work and craftsmanship! (and you certainly wrapped those pieces up so that nothing was going to happen to them, luckily today was trash day for us, I think we filled up the truck on our own :o) thanks again, I look forward to ordering more furniture after we replenish our bank account!
take care,

Thank you thank you. We couldn't be more delighted with the bed and nightstands. They are GORGEOUS, much more beautiful than we ever imagined. You did a lovely lovely job. So... (drumroll please) here they are "in situ" (the color is Ben Moore "Cognac". duvet from West End catalog. lamps from Sundance Catalog, rugs from Jax Rugs.) not a great photo, some weird polka dot things... but here's Dylan, who will spend many many hours on this bed and thanks you from the bottom of his scruffy little heart.

Hi Judy -- just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I like the coffee table (it arrived last week (a day early, even), but I've been flying around the country and so haven't had the time to do this properly). I don't know how to say more than that it just makes me very happy just to look at it -- it's simple solidity somehow strikes a happy resonance with me (sorry if that sounds corny), and it feels at home with my family's old Midwest oak furniture. So anyway, thanks for the trouble you guys took in getting the table to me under adverse conditions and for the care it must have taken to make something like this.
Happy holidays,
Norm Bartelt

Got it last night. Thanks Judy. It is beautiful -- huge (I worked up a sweat getting it out of all the packing) but heavy and solid. Best to Mike.

Mike,
I got the delivery yesterday. The tables are beautiful. I am very proud of your work. Here are a coupla shots of the two together. These will be a pleasure to live with for me and my kids after me, on down the line. Thank you very much.
As long as you have these shots, the wall stuff is: the large painting and ink drawing are the work of my old bass player and pretty famous artist Larry Hofmann. One of my closest friends. He's in Minneapolis. The other piece you can almost see is an etching by Ronnie Wood (Stones/Faces) of Eric Clapton, done soon after the loss of Connor.
Anyhoo, this is where the tables will be for a while. The wait was sweet. Again, thank you and y'alls. I'm very pleased with everything.

Hello everyone at Dryad;
The end table arrived yesterday, and we're very happy with it! Thanks so much! It's a lovely, graceful design, and your woodwork and staining are all top notch. Plus you're the world champion packers, the boxing work was superlative.
We look forward to the custom table/pedestal project, Mike!
All the best to everyone there,

Hi Judy and Mike,
The bed arrived on Wednesday, Lee and I were both pleased and impressed. The bed is simply gorgeous. Hope that your and your family had a lovely thanksgiving. We look forward to purchasing a few more pieces in the future.
Thanks again,

This table is more beautiful than I expected. I love it, love it, love it. It took me 2 hours to get to it and my living room is a total disaster but that table is perfect!!! Thank You!!!

Hi Judy
It's here & it looks great!!! Beautiful craftsmanship!! WOW!
You packed it very well & it was clearly necessary, they beat the crap out of that box but it survived unscathed! I was a little worried when I first saw it.
Thanks again!! It was DEFINITELY worth the wait! Hmmm…. Maybe some matching side tables down the road..

Hi Judy,
We love the headboard and are thinking of a coffee table and probably some side tables/tabouret. We definitely will not buy the Chinese junk – (we were able to find a Stickley brothers library desk and have since been addicted to the real thing) we are still planning to go to Arkansas and maybe have a look at your studios.
Our neighbor helped us take the bed inside when it was shipped and saw your invoice/receipt. She told us you made her daughter's high chair. It's beautiful!
We'll be back for more,

Hello again,
Thank you for your attention to our crib order. We received it and set it up yesterday – just in time since our delivery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I thought you might like to see how it looked in the baby's room. It was the last piece we needed. You really made a great piece of furniture – it is vastly better than any of the other retail cribs out there.
We were thinking it might be a good idea to start the ordering process on a Mission High Chair. I'm sure it takes a few months to create. While we have a little time before we need it, it probably doesn't hurt to start on it early. I think we'll want to look at the wood samples again since the high chair will be in a different part of the house. Please let us know. Thanks again.

Hi, I was so happy with your table I'm back. I was just wondering if you can build me a headboard for a King (California) bed. It would have to be special made because I have a size that I don't want to block windows on both ends. Let me know and I can get you the measurements.

WOW - The bed is beautiful beyond belief! It arrived just fine with some help from the driver and an unlucky new neighbor who happened by... for 2 hours of unpacking.
The packing was also beyond description. Impervious to box cutters, and being fearful of taking the Stihl to it, we gnawed our way through the layers.
But like many cocoons, something beautiful emerged! Remind me to sharpen my teeth before the next order!
One scene you may appreciate... trying to dispose of the cardboard chrysalis, I finally gave up and took a skill saw and bow saw to it and it eventually yielded.
Hope the storms pass you by and all are well. Arkansas has had WAY more than its share this year.
We think your product is just fantastic, and ( all humor or attempts there at aside) is well deserving of the protection of the cartons.
Thanks! Gary and Sue
The bed is a work of fine art. Beautiful and inspiring corbels and cutouts. Ironclad, even obsessive-compulsive, packaging. I wish all my dealings were as successful and personal and kind. I count myself lucky to have made the acquaintance of the Schmitt family and their gentle, mountaintop life. Expect me to be back in touch.
Excellent item and transaction. Many thanks
