The bar stools arrived in perfect shape and look just grand. My husband put them together while I was at work and had them all set up when I got home. He didn't have any trouble figuring out what to do! We love them and the stain color matches our cabinets perfect. Thanks so much, Camille

8-8-00 Littleton, Colorado Santa Fe Dresser/mirror

Been meaning to write you for awhile. Wanted to tell you that the dresser and mirror are just perfect. The dresser matches the bed perfectly and the workmanship is spectacular. The drawers just glide in and out so nice. I've never had a nicer dresser. And the mirror is a one of a kind work of art. We have been getting so many compliments. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Debbie and Carl

12-21-00 North Carolina Log Bar Stools

The bar stools arrived this afternoon! Just in time for Christmas and they are just as beautiful as we figured they would be. I was out Christmas shopping and CJ put them together before I even got home. So my first glimpse of them was the complete package sititng next to our bar. Your husband is an artist and you are a wonderful contact person....a great team! I'm sure glad I found your web site. Don't be surprised if down the line you get some more orders from our neck of the woods as your secret will be out and visible here. Hope you don't mind us spreading your praise! CJ and Cami Back

Dear Mr. Bice,

I love my new adirondack writing desk. Thank you for making it for my 6th birthday present. It is beautiful and I will use it forever.

4-15-00 Carved twin beds, night stands

The grandchildren love the beds you designed and made for them, with their own names carved in them, and their birth dates. The longhorn cow was a great surprise. The night stands are fabulous with their cute cowboy boot feet! Truly, they turned out better than I could ever have imagined, having ordered them from so far away, and doing all the planning through e mails! You are a true artisan. Thank you also for your careful delivery of them to my home in Texas! Sincerely, Name witheld on request

VINTAGE WAGON WHEEL FURNITURE 11-30-00

We made it home ok. We love the furniture and it fits our western decor great. Lisa's mother came to see it and remembered how their old furniture looked just like it except the back of the couch had a saddle on it that was colored in. Some people might think we are crazy, but to each their own. We're glad you made it home safely, also. Be sure to look us up if you ever come this way again. Clint and Lisa

08-08-99 BURL BOTTOM DINING TABLE WITH 2 LEAVES

Fabulous - we love it. It fits our decor perfectly and is better than we could ever have imagined. Where could we have found a more perfect table. Now, we will save up and have you make us a love seat to match! Greg and Bonnie

February 14, 2001

E Mail: You guys - we love our wagon wheel beds and the buckboard coffee table. So glad we found you on the "net". Everything arrived just fine and we will buy more from you in the future. We still need a beat up wagon wheel couch set, to recover in leather, though! Don't forget! Thanks again. Skyseller

02-22-01

Hi there Maril and Tom,

Cami from Annapolis here. We sure are loving our bar stools. Everyone compliments us on them and we sing your praises over and over. Here is a picture of them in our basement next to our bar!

Hope you are having a wonderful new year. Believe it or not, it's snowing here on the 22nd day of February. Take care, Cami and CJ Back

03-05-01

Dear Tom and Maril --- The horse shoe hardware arrived today - and is just what I have been looking for! Terrific. We will fix a dowel for the toilet paper holder, and the towel holder is just perfect. Now let's see, where can I use some more of this? It is very snowy and cold here today. Thank you again. Kristine

03-08-01

Maril and Tom, Imagine, 24 pieces of branded glassware arrived clear across the country to Rhode Island, in this weather, because of your perfect packing! I thank you for that! And I am sure that I will be buying more from your web page in the near future. I hope you get some more chandeliers!

Brian P

Dear Maril, The Beacon blanket arrived and it is everything you said it was and more. Thank you so much for your accurate portrayl and best regards, Randy

03-21-01

Dear Maril and Tom, We made it home safely and hope you did, too. I'm sure you could tell that Wade was pleased with his couch and chair set, but you have no idea just how pleased! He's been wanting a wagon wheel set for a long time now and to find one in perfect condition is a dream come true! He just kept going on about how happy he is with it.

We enjoyed so much doing business with people as kind, friendly and honest as the two of you! When we got in the truck Wade said that it was a lot of fun visiting with you. Thank you so much for the dinner and the box of candy. When we go through Colorado we will stop and visit with you again. Wade and Shelley

4-01-01 CONGRATULATIONS ON OUR BEST OF DENVER AWARD

I'd say congratulations are in order for your recognition "Best of Denver 2001". I'm not surprised though, since you really do a marvelous job of marketing and keeping up your website --- best I've ever seen! Plus you are terrific to deal with!

P Sizer in Minnesota - A great customer to whom we have sold furniture from our web page! (Thank you for your kind words, Pat. Maril and Tom

4-6-01 LEATHER MIRROR W LONGHORNS

Hello: We are glad that you were written up in the paper. They really should have said, "The BEST in Leather Mirrors."

WOW! What a mirror. You really can't see how beautiful this mirror is from a picture. We are very impressed and pleased. We had to see it hanging right away. Luckily we have a sturdy bolt in our white brick fireplace and hung it up for a few minutes. Now I am heading to the local hardware store and getting proprer mounting hardware for the wall. A knowledgeable couple owns the store and they have everything.

The packing was first class also! I have a Dewalt 14 volt portable drill and pulled the 40 plus drywall screws from the plywood in about 15-20 minutes. There was foam packing on the sides of the plywood box and the mirror. The box is big! Two strong men would have a rough time moving it. I wasn't here for the delivery so the delivery guy slid it on our floor mat and a towel. Now that it's empty I'll have an easier time moving it. Craters and Freighters knows how to pack an expensive mirror. Very impressed with them and worth every penny. The shipping company was ABS and they were OK.

We know that the mirror was a special gift to you and you can bet that we will take care of it.

Best regards, Bob and Charla Estrada

04-14-01 Delivery of wagon wheel set to Texas

Oh gosh, you guys, it's perfect. Just like you described, and I love how you put the matching naugahyde on the back of the couch. Thank you for the personal delivery to our ranch here in Texas! Christine and Freddy

04-14-01 - Boy, this is something - personal delivery right to our front door - The tables are perfect - just like the pictures and your descriptions. Thank you. It completes our wagon wheel living room ensemble now! Bobby

6-2001: Here are pictures of the wonderful Molesworth style arm chairs you made to go with the trestle table we got from you. Turned out just like we planned. Thank you for your expertise, and craftsmanship, Tom! Louan

(take a look at the picture on our Molesworth page)

7-01 Texas

Thank you for the great hand painted cactus shade. I love it and it fits the lamp perfectly and my decorating scheme. So happy to have a Joan LaGoy lampshade of my own. Have seen them in a shop in Santa Fe but never the right size. So thank you for having this lampshade page on your web site so people can order just what they need. Terri

8-01-2001 Long Beach, California

Hey Maril - Love the wagon wheel furniture. As I thought they might, the rocker and sofa go great with our rancho style home! (Burgundy couch, yellow rocker) Friends are really going to enjoy the new area. I can't thank you enough for all your hard work in finding the items I wanted and getting them into presentable shape for me. If there was ever a time one could say "Ye Ha" in a southern California home, today is the day. Please tell Tom that the ottoman that he created for the rocker looks greatand I'm sure it will be even better when I get it naugahyded.

I can't thank the two of you enough for all your help in bringing my home a little closer to what Cliff May might have agreed upon. Take care, Frank

7-31-2001 Washington

The cowgirl shade arrived in fine shape and I LOVE IT! Tell Joanie that she did a great job. I have sent a picture of it. Thank you for having a lampshade page for that great artist!

8-3-2001 WALT DISNEY WORLD

Hello, and thank you for the darling hand painted little cowboy lampshades for the room we are doing in 1950's little cowboy style in honor of Walt Disney's 100th birthday. I wish you could see the room! Joanie did a great job of painting them! They are great, and thank you.

08-16-01 Cowgirl lamp shade

We received our cowgirl lampshade from Joanie LaGoy, and we absolutely love it. Couldn't be happier! Thankyou, Cowboy Classics, for having a lampshade page for this artist, so we can find her and get one of her hand painted shades!

Diane from Minnesota

Sept 1, 2001 Great log office furniture - the upholstery we chose really sets it off with the blue carpet and white walls. And it is very comfortable. This area, Canon City, Colorado, is very southwestern in "flavor", so the people who come to our office will be very pleased with our new decor! Thank you Tom, for a job well done! Let's put your business card right here on the log coffee table and see how many people ask and want furniture like you make! Again, our thanks for a wonderful new look in the waiting room!

Stan Hanks, MD

Oct 2001 - Tom, your work and craftsmanship is fantastic. These two Moleworth style burled arm chairs are just a dream come true for us. And now we want to order two more! And a love seat, also! Walt and Marylou

Oct 2001 Love our wagon wheel couch and chair set that you had delivered to us - in just like new condition. We are going to tell everyone that asks about our cowboy western furniture, about you and your web site! That's where we found this - looked everywhere in shops and only found junk, or nothing. When you say "like new" condition, you mean it! Thanks for all you do for the cowboy world! Anne R

11-2001 Hi Cowboy Classics, The A. Brandt Ranch Oak mirror with the Texas longhorn carving on it arrived in Arizona today, just fine. It is a great addition to our winter home. Thank you for your loving care in packing it so well. We will keep watching your web site for more western items we can use! Norma

12-20-2001 The Shetland Isles, Scotland

Hi Maril and Tom, just a quick note to say that the swivel saddle bar stools arrived a couple of days ago. They look fantastic with those cowboy saddles you picked out for us, on them. We are very pleased with every aspect of them. I will give you a call sometime and send a photo of them with our new bar! Ivor Johnson

March 2002: Our burled love seat is just fabulous. Now we want you to make 4 arm chairs to match it! The hand woven chimayos really are wonderful and definitely make the upholstery outstanding! Walt and Mary Lou in Wyoming

April 2002: You are the greatest, Maril --- you can always find the best cowboy vintage fabrics for use in our furniture we make and people just love the old look! Keep on searching for me! Thank you, Polly

May 2002: The wagon wheel couch and chair set you delivered to my house in Austin, Texas is just awesome. Better in person than from pictures, that's for sure. Thank you for the smooth delivery! Bryan

May 2002: Tom, those carved headboards are just absolutely fabulous - one of a kind and only you could do such a wonderful job. They will go beautifully with the other headboards and night stands for my grandsons. The kids just love their special Roy Rogers bedroom here at my home! (Readers, you can take a look on our web site under NewwestLodge Furn, and click on to the "Hand carved furniture" page.) Myr in Wharton, Tx

May 2002: I just love my wagon wheel set - When you say it is fabulous, Maril, you know what you are saying, huh? And you got it here to my apartment just when you said you would! I hope I can buy more from you soon! Debbie

May 2002: Thank you for delivering the big log arm chair to my parent's home so I could pick it up there. When I get the cushions made I will take pictures of it and send them to you --- you did a great job of building this log chair, Tom! Cathy

The saddle bar stools arrived and are BEAUTIFUL! My saddles look great on them. Thanks for all your help and I know we are going to enjoy these! Lisa

June 20, 2002 --- Tom, the swivel saddle bar stools arrived and they are Great!!! I have sold 2 more for you to make for a friend! Bart in Georgia

June 27, 2002

Tom - The Molesworth chair you created for me arrived Saturday at our ranch in wine country, California - and it absolutely fits right in to the room - it looks like it has been there forever, and it is absolutely incredible. You did a fabulous job on it and the upholstery is super! Love the fringe on the arms! Thank you for a great long distance working relationship! You are a true craftsman! LOUANN (Check out picture of this burled Molesworth style arm chair on our web page - Newwest/Lodge - and scroll down to the bottom and click on "Molesworth Furniture" - it is the green chair with the great chimayo design)

July 1, 2002 Westcliff, Colorado

Wow, the wagon wheel couch set that we bought sight unseen off of your web page is incredible. It is better than best --- and fits right in to our A frame cabin. Your personal delivery of the set is appreciated, also. Nice to meet you! Glad you had this on your web site, and that you specialize in this type of western furniture from the 1950's and are so knowledgeable about it - Thanks for being so honest and friendly - an internet sale that just went RIGHT! Nat

August 5, 2002 Nashville, Tn

Hi Maril, the couch set arrived here Friday afternoon, and we got it home safely after work. When we unpacked it, the friend who helped me move it in thought it was a new set because it looked so good. Craters and Freighters did an excellent job of packing it and I absolutely love the set. The red looks great in my living room - I will send some pictures when I get the room done - I'm definitely glad that I found your web site and was able to purchase a set that I liked from a reputable source. Before I found you I was just resigned to finding whatever came up on eBay and probably would have ended up with a color scheme no where near as cool. I will definitely keep visiting your site. I will need a lamp or a lampshade to go with, sometime in the future. Thank you again, B. Mills

8-7-02 Telephone call from Texas

Maril and Tom, I just wanted to let you know that the Ranch Oak table I purchased from your web site, that was in Utah, arrived today by UPS. It is absolutely wonderful - mint condition. Whoever owned this furniture the last 50 years or so took really special care of it - It is perfect in my home with my large Ranch Oak collection of furniture and I will treasure it. I'm so glad I found it and you on the internet. Also, we have met at a show you were doing in Abilene, Texas, The Western Heritage Show, and we talked and I just loved all your inventory then. That was probably six years or so ago! Such fun! Thanks again, Carla

Oct 2, 2002

Hello Maril, The wagon wheel end tables arrived today and are fantastic! Georgia did a SUPER job of packing them. They arrived in one big box and she really wrapped them with care. Thanks so much for the sale - Keith, a satisfied customer once again. In New Mexico

(Keith also bought a turquoise wagon wheel chair from us a couple of years ago sight unseen!)

Oct 1, 2002

Hi Maril, the saddle bar stools arrived! Haven't gotten the saddles on yet - gotta clean them first! They came last Monday and they are great! I started cleaning out my tack room and may need a couple more-ha ha! Thank you, Michelle (In California)

10-5-02 from Pam in California:

The bar stool arrived and is just what we wanted - so we are ordering another one, same color and finish! Thank you so much! Love it!

10-10-02 Tim in California

The (vintage) cowboy toy box arrived today and is just what we wanted! Thank you for having it on your web site! Tim

10-11--02

Bamco branded glassware is something we have collected for years and we are so glad we found you on line and could order more to replace broken glasses, and to buy some of the newest glassware in the Bamco line. It's great! You've got a wonderful web site!

Tiki

November 2002

Mother just loved the Ranch Oak horse lamp you sent her for us. Thank you for having it so we could surprise her with something she has wanted for such a long time. Sue B.

Dec 2002

Great talking to you - I love to talk to nice and positive people. Was so glad to see the article about your business, Cowboy Classics, in the January 2003 issue of Cowboy and Indians Magazine, featuring the Bamco glassware, that I just had to call immediately and order those glasses! Thank you so much! Jodi, at Flat Head Lake Lodge, Montana

January 30, 2003 California

Tom, the trestle table arrived last week and is now fully set up. The kids are thrilled with it and are extremely impressed. They all now can sit down for dinner together once a week since they all fit comfortably. Thanks for such a gret job and I hope to work with you again sometime! Curly

January 12, 2003

We love our wagon wheel set and those wonderful burled lamps we bought from you - and it was fun meeting you in Barstow, California on the delivery. We are ordering more things from you, Tom. We would like the leather topped Molesworth style bench and a burled gnarly hall tree, and perhaps a table with a gnarly fir base. We really admire your expertise and are so glad we met you, so we can have some of this fun western rustic furniture! George and Molly, who live near Yosemite National Park

Feb 5, 2003 California

Hi Maril, I want to let you know how nice it has been working with you. The wagon wheel coffee table I received from GM arrived safe and sound; she did an excellent job of packing it. Now that I know ahout your web site (I didn't before) I will be checking it periodically to see if you have anything I just can't live without!

Best regards, Beckie

2-14-03 New Jersey

Sara's desk arrived today -- Craters and Freighters did a great job of crating it. The crate was a work of art - but nothing to compare with what was inside. It's a desk Molesworth would be proud to call his own. Sara loves it! She could not wait to do her homework on it! And I can't wait for her custom carpet and the chair for the desk to arrive. I am learning that if you want something custom made you have got to be patient --Hopefully everything will turn out as fantastic as the desk. I will send pictures as soon as the carpet is installed. Bob

Addendum to above: 2-15-03

It's 7:20 am, I was just checking my e mails when Sara (who is six years old) came downstairs to hand me a thank you note for her desk. The only recognizable words on her note are "love, Sara". But what else matters? Have a great weekend, Bob

3-5-03 Texas

Hi, I just received my lime green Wagon Wheel chair. I LOVE IT! It looks great and almost completes my living room! (Still need an end table!) Craters and Freighters did a great job! The packing was excellent. Thank you so much. Dealing with ya'll was a breeze!

Casey T, Ft. Worth (Be on the lookout for an end table)

March 26, 2003

Dear Maril and Tom, I went home today, early, which I never do, and there was this huge box by the front door --- which you just shipped yesterday! Well, inside was the wonderful Annie Oakly chair to go with the Annie Oakley desk, and it is even better to see in person than from the e mailed pictures. Sara is going to love it - and I hope this Annie Oakley desk and chair will keep her studying hard all of her student life! I am so glad I chose you to custom make these two pieces for her, for her sixth birthday. Bob S, New Jersey

April 30, 2003 Prescott, Arizona

Hey, it was great meeting you when you personally delivered my wonderful wagon wheel couch set I bought from your web site. I am gonna love it in my new home! So glad I found you last Friday night! I will keep your site bookmarked and I know I will find more to buy. I trust your judgement! Rose W

May 3, 2003, Desert Hot Springs, Ca

It was worth dragging that big old horse trailer up the hill to Prescott to pick up our wagon wheel set, which we just love! Thanks for having it for sale on your web site! R and S

5-22-03 Raymond, Ca

The bench you made for us, Tom, we really like. Looks good in that spot, and will work so well for putting on and taking off our boots. Right now I'm liking it without upholstery, but may put a cowhide or leather on the top eventually. Thanks for sending it and doing such a great job on it! Molly and George

5-9-03 Pasadena, Ca

The Ranch Oak table and chairs arrived just fine - The packaging was amazing, incredibly secure and safe - by Craters and Freighters. The set fits just fine into our kitchen area and looks great -- just what we wanted! We need more - Penny

5-29-03 Washington, DC

GOT THE BAR! And yes, it is magnificent! Thank you and Tom for the wonderful custom work! Craters and Freighters did a great job of packing, I am e mailing her next! Wish we could buy more of your furniture, Tom! Maybe someday! Denise

7-30-03 The final payment for the swivel saddle bar stool is enclosed and I want to thank you in advance for the pleasure I'll derive from its use! Buck T

8-16-03 Maril, the southwestern print curtains arrived today and they are fabulous. Thank you for putting them on eBay so I could "win" them! Audrey

10-03 Dear Maril --- I just love the matched wagon wheel chairs and they arrived at my ranch beautifully packed. Can't wait to get them into the newly remodeled room, but room isn't finished yet! Thank you for having hard to find matched 1950's cowboy chairs! Lori

10-23-03 (From a customer that we sold a couch set for in cyber space consignment) You've been fabulous. I appreciate all you've done to sell my couch and rocker. The check got here today, can't believe how fast that was. And just minutes later the shipping company, (Craters and Freighters in Shreveport, Louisiana) called and will be picking it up tomorrow to ship to the buyer. He will be pleased to get it so fast. I will recommend you to everyone I know! Great Job! Cassie in Tyler, Texas

The buyer in Washington State was ecstatic over this gorgeous red cowboy western couch set. He raved over the packing done by Craters and Freighters, also.

November 2003: Several feedback comments from internet retail buyers. 1. I absolutely love this Ralph Lauren fabric - fabulous. Wish I could get more, better than I even dreamed it would be! Thank you, thank you. 2. The Western cowboy plate in a frame arrived safely, and I've never seen anything like it. I was going to take it out of the frame to use, but like it so much, think I will just hang it on the wall, like it is supposed to be! Got any more?

12-4-03 The copper cowboy bathtub arrived in great shape and in a very timely manner. The crating was excellent. (By Craters and Freighters!) Thanks for a great memento! Elizabeth Ann

12-03 Our dining room table is just what we dreamed of, and Tom, you did a magnificent job. That burl for the base is something else! The benches are just fabulous, also. Can't wait for the six chairs to be completed! Thank you so much for taking the time before the holidays to personally deliver it and set it up for us! Matt

1-04 That silver parade saddle was even better seen in person. Glad I got it! Thank you!

2-25-04 Every time I buy something from you guys it makes me happy! Tom

3-2-05 This is the greatest wagon wheel set - I just love it and can't believe you guys brought it to me in Prescott! Thanks so much - I will keep looking at your web site to see if I can find more cowboy western stuff I can't live without. Cindy

4-04 Whee, this is the first time I've tried selling furniture on the internet and you did great for me! Can't believe the price you asked for and got and the ease of the pick up here for delivery there! I'm looking around for more furniture to sell now! Will stay in touch. Judith Brown

3-04 Tom, you did just what I had envisioned that I wanted for my living room and couldn't find ready made. The log end tables are wonderful, and are the perfect stain color to match my other pieces! (Her neighbor also wrote to tell us how great the tables turned out and how happy her neighbor was with them! Interesting!)

4-04 Tony was so happy with his 4 wagon wheel chairs we delivered to him on a mountain side in Tucson, Arizona - and we were happy with our fun trip down and back to take the furniture to him! He even bought more wagon wheel chairs from our web site! Another delivery coming up!

May and June 2004: All of our cyber space buying customers were pleased with our efficient arranging of the sales, and the delivery by Craters and Freighters. The sellers were more than enthusiastic as we had gotten them very fair prices for their pieces. We shipped from Florida to California, Longmont to Tucson (again) California to Wisconsin, and Northern California to Southern California! (Just trying to shorten up the feedback system)

July 2004: My Annie Oakley arm chair arrived and I absolutely love it - what a beautiful job you did, Tom. I plan to buy more from you as soon as I can, as I am a "wanna be" cowgirl! Martha in NY

July 2004: I cannot begin to tell you how delightful it was to work with you on selling my Ranch Oak furniture, Maril. Here I am in Santa Rosa, Ca., and you found a buyer from your web site, and now it all has a new home in Wisconsin! And I am so happy with the selling price! You definitely earned your commission! Gala

July 2004: Lloyd and I met in Kentucky, me coming from North Carolina, and he coming from Peoria, Illinois, and he picked up the Ranch Oak desk and chair. We had dinner together and chatted, and enjoyed our cyber space meeting arranged by you! Thank you for selling this desk for me! Bob K

July 2004: Terry and Jim came from Kingman, Az to pick up the California Monterey they purchased from us through our web site - thought it was great and were pleased with the price and condition. We will meet them in Laughlin, Nv in Sept and see their home in Kingman which is full of wagon wheel furniture, some purchased from us in January 2004, and Monterey! Looking forward to that!

Aug 2004: Maril, the Monterey chairs arrived just fine, and are perfect. I will keep checking your site for more Monterey in the future! Chris

Aug 2004: We are so happy we found you selling on line. The chairs were just languishing in my shop waiting for a buyer that wasn't walking through my doors! WOW! Thanks again and again!

Aug 2004: I can't believe you sold all my Monterey furniture that fast --- thanks --- and from the buyer: Great stuff - can't believe it was in a home in Colorado. We will love it!

Sept 2004 - Maril, I love, love love my Monterey arm chair and the little cart. Thanks so much, it arrived fine, also! Want more! Dorrie

Oct/Nov, 2004 - HugsfromAz loved the chili bowls with handles in their original box, and they arrived safely, and MidwestStud was tickled with his Fiesta pieces, and said they were packed great. Erich said he could use the grocery bags I had packed around his Fiesta turquoise utility tray and it arrived fine, and trprussia said her husband was just thrilled with his RS German green mark porcelain hand painted plate with orchids on it.

Nov. 2004 - We sent a silver parade saddle to Allan in New York City and it was a huge hit - said it was far better than even his wildest imagination could believe! It was a beauty - all decked out in silver.

12-9-04 From Texas --- Got the photo shade a few minutes ago and Fred tore into the box like a house on fire. Its a beaut and he's tickled pink. Standing 6'5" and 300 lbs, that's a lot of pink! Don't hesitate to let me know if you come across another as nice as this shade is! Bunny

1-2005 The check arrived in today's mail for the Ranch Oak bunk beds. That was all the Ranch Oak I had, and I've enjoyed working with you! I wanted the pieces to go to the folks who know what Ranch Oak is and who will appreciate it. I think that together we accomplished that. Thank you, Maril! (Bob was a fabulous client to work with, selling his cyber consigned furniture. He is in No Carolina, I'm in Colorado and most of his R O furn went to Texas!)

2-05 The swivel saddle bar stool arrived in top condition and it is beau-ti-ful! Worth the wait. I will be buying another saddle soon and will definitely order another one from you! Thanks, Lee R in California

2-05 Just got home from a business trip yesterday and the table had arrived, and I couldn't be happier! It's absolutely perfect, and thanks for the great packing job! I LOVE IT! We are moving in to our mountain cabin next week and now all I need is that mountain scene lampshade on your web site. Best, Tia in San Fran, Ca

2-05 The beautiful silver parade saddle is now displayed on that great swivel saddle bar stool you made specially for it! Great packing job and it arrived just fine. Thanks, Tom ----- Alan in NYC

3-05 Maril, the Ranch Oak furniture I bought through you and just picked up myself in Omaha is too good to be true -- I am so happy with it = keep on selling and selling for people so buyers like me can get pieces we want and can't find in our home area! Nancy M in Oklahoma

4-05 That was great that you sold our Wagon Wheel maple bedroom set from your web site -- Awesome! Appreciate the check you sent and the furniture left here by Craters and Freighters April 20, 2005! Fraser

4-05 The bunk beds arrived just fine from California - shipping somewhat expensive, but worth it! Will keep checking out your web site! Kevin

4-05 I love the 5 pieces of Coronado furniture that I got through you - Craters and Freighters did a great job of packing everything and it arrived just great and I'm in total love with it all! Bonnie

5-4-05 All of the Fiesta arrived in perfect condition today and we were very pleased. Thanks so much for including all those extra saucers - wow, we were so surprised! It made the whole day! We're Fiesta collectors so these will be a welcome addition. This had to have been one of the best eBay transactons we have ever had. You've sure made our day, and thank you very much, Cathie and Brad in Arizona

6-27-05 We are ordering those log chairs we talked about last year to go with our dining room set - the keyhole chairs sound great. I am not worried about the exact price because I know I get what I pay for and then some with y'all! So, our check is in the mail! Matt

Aug 05: Sorry not to e mail sooner but I did not like it ---- I LOVED IT! The Coronado dining room set is exactly what I thought it might be. I live in a 1920"s Spanish house and it fit right in. I love Monterey and Coronado furniture. Craters and Freighters did a great job of packing, and the delivery man was very helpful to me. Thanks again, Jerrylee

Aug 05: Maril and Tom, the fabulous Monterey furniture that I found on your web site and purchased, and then personally picked up in California is just too much!!!

I will absolutely share my wonderful experience with all looking for Monterey furniture. You were such a pleasure to do business with and I look forward to next time! Chad, California

Nov 05: Yup, the Ranch Oak dining room set got here Friday and was unloaded into our garage. Looked it over briefly, it arrived fine, and just as advertized. Then Terry and I carefully manhandled it into the house with our furniture dolly and the hand cart. We are really pleased with it, and I believe it would last a hundred generations if taken care of. Thanks again for your help! Terry and Terry, Boise, Idaho

Dec 05: Hi - we just wanted to let you know how much we love our table. It's such a nice work of art that we are able to use! We are so glad that we found you and were able to do business with you. If you ever need a recommendation, please let us know, you are good people! We will be in touch soon to talk about some chairs! Dave and Maureen

Dec 05: I just wanted to let you know that the personal delivery of the sofa bed to George went off with no problems. In fact, he also bought the three lamps we had. You have been very helpful and I am very happy to have done business with you. You provided a valuable outlet to help with selling some cherished Ranch Oak furniture that my family and I have great memories of, growing up in my mom's house (which is now sold!) I wish you continued success with your website and business in the coming New Year. Good luck and Happy Holidays, John

Dec 05: The barstool was delivered before Christmas and it is absolutely beautiful. Pictures just don't do it justice. My mom was so happy, I wish you could have seen her. The barstool was truly the talk of the evening. Thanks so much for making it all possible and thank your husband for all his hard work. You can really tell he really puts so much time and love into his pieces. I hope you both are feeling better. Happy holidays! Thanks for making mine so wonderful. I will definitely spread the word about Cowboy Classics - you're great! Thanks again, Kendra in California. (A swivel saddle bar stool)

1-06: Just want to let you know that the four bar stools arrived today and I cannot thank you and Tom enough for what you have done. Tom did an excellent job on the stools. I cannot thank him enough for the superb job that he did. I am extremely pleased with the stools. Thank you both again so very much. I will get back with you about building a bar. It has been truly a pleasure working with you and Tom over this short period of time. Thank you for the ease of making this project happen for me. I'm sure to have many memorable moments in the weeks and years ahead! Kevin in Ohio

1-06: I went to see the barstool that Tom had made. It was neat! You were right, they are worth every penny and the wait! I sent the check to you today for shipping on both stools. I looked at the pictures of the ones you made for Kevin and they looked good, also. I may have more business for you. I can't wait to get them both up to my house and get my saddles on them. Will send you pictures if you are interested! Thanks again. Brindi in Iowa

Dec 2006: WOW, what a magnificent piece of work, Tom. The bar and mirror arrived yesterday. Words cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with the work you have done for me. And the mirror --- you totally outdid yourself, Tom. The mirror is nothing less than spectacular!It is so so totally awesome. I just love it - how did you and Maril know? I got very little sleep last night, it will be weeks before I can peel back my smile somewhat to fit more normally between my ears, but for now I am just going to enjoy the moment.

My hat is off to Joel and Rinehart, two wonderful people at Craters and Freighters. Joel was a pleasure to talk to and tole me that the bar was really wonderful. The packing of the bar and mirror was superb! The bar was packed better than any new piece of furniture that I have ever seen. Many many thanks for all you have done for me. Kevin in Ohio

Dec. 2006: Hi, the swivel saddle bar stool arrived in time for Christmas and looks great. My husband was very surprised. I ended up getting a beautiful brand new saddle off eBay for $99. I would have liked a used one with character, but this one looks great. Thank you, Tom! Jonna in Iowa

WOW, I haven't updated lately. Well, everyone we sent furniture to loved it - the fabulous desk went to California, and about 11 swivel saddle bar stools went all over the USA and everyone was in love with them. No one was disappointed in their vintage furniture that they purchased through us, either, and the packing and shipping companies that we used were just awesome.

12-07 My Christmas present is unbelievable -- the green wagon wheel couch set that came all the way to Colorado from Florida is so much better than I was expecting.
