A comment from a New York City customer following our note to him regarding his concern about delivery in the face of an oncoming winter storm:
"----you are most considerate to take special care and to let me know. I am delighted with your service, but not surprised, since your actions are consistent with the quality of your product----"
Mr J of Arizona, after hearing from his son in Washington state regarding Mr J's gift to his grandchild of our No.731 Mahoghany Rocking Horse:
"Just heard from my son, with the highest praise for the appearance & quality of the rocking horse – and his 2-1/2 yr-old son loves it!!
"
Eva from California, before placing her order, on why she chose our standard unit building blocks:
"I suspect that my daughter will enjoy these as much as I enjoyed my set when I was growing up. I have to let you know that it was the picture of your perfect Gothic Arch on the website that sold me. I know that the main idea of the blocks is to directly discover/experience multiples and fractions, but what I remember from growing up was that luscious Gothic Arch!"
Eva from California after receiving her order for our No.403 111 piece Standard Unit Block set just yesterday, i.e., 9/13/2006:
"We received the blocks today, 9/13. They are terrific! Often when we get a
package delivered, all my daughter wants to do is play with the box; not this time! She dove right in and I can't tell you how satisfying it was to watch her build towers that stayed firmly put until SHE decided to knock them down. She's only two, so we only took about twenty-five blocks out for her; she played with them for at least 40 minutes, which is years in Toddler Time. And she came back to them twice today to build more towers."
Betty from upstate New York regarding her recent orders for several of our specialty block items, our Block & Castle standard unit building block set No.435 and Our No.812 27 piece ABC Block Set :
"Thank you for the delightful sets of unit blocks and castle blocks that we got for our 6 year old grandson in California this past Christmas. He has spent many happy hours arranging the blocks into forts and castles. The special feature blocks of windows, garage door, regular door, and storefront window have added much to the play value and creativity.
The alphabet block set we got for his twin baby brothers have elicited many favorable comments from all who have seen them. They are perfect for stacking and knocking down which is the favorite activity of the babies.
As the babies grow we plan to order rocking horses and probably even more blocks"
Michelle from California regarding our response to her delivery inquiry and her reaction to seeing her new purchase, a No.740 Clear Rocking Horse with maple rocker assembly:
"Dear George, Thanks for your reply. Coincidentally, we received our grandaughter's rocking horse about an hour after I got your reply. It's a beauty! Thanks for your thoughtful reply...."
Mr & Mrs C from Texas comment on their No.403, 111 piece standard unit building block set and a No.810, 78 piece ABC alphabet block set:
"Received the blocks yesterday. They are beautiful and will get many years of use by our twin girls. Thanks for a great product at a great price."
Mrs M from New Jersey after changing her mind about the first set she purchased and having received her second order - a No.403, 111 piece standard unit building block set:
"Thank you for your extra work in delivering my blocks. They are beautiful. I am always pleased by your product, and my family loves them!"
Mr T from upstate New York after receipt of his order for a No.812, 27 piece ABC alphabet block set:
"I received my order this morning and they look great. Thank you..."
