Hi Barb, All my goodies were just delivered!! I LOVE THEM!!! We are hoping to stay home and put the counter top on this weekend. What kind of sealer do I need after I cut my sink hole? Can I get it at Home Depot or Lowes? I’ll send photos when its done!!

Barb/Jane,

I just wanted to write and let you know how very pleased we are with our new table and chairs. They arrived in perfect condition.
They are even more beautiful than we expected! I can't believe how solid they are. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is evident in every piece. We look forward to recommending your custom work to everyone we know. Thank you!

Regards, G. Harmon, Florida, Summer 2012
Thank you Barb.
FYI, over the last 8 months during our major home renovation, I've done business with dozens of companies. Now that the end is near, I must say Lake and Mountain Home ranks up there in my top 3 for customer service. I'm sure when we see the table, we will be equally pleased with the quality and workmanship that used to be identified in the phrase "MADE IN AMERICA"!
I'll provide you with additional feedback after table is delivered. I am hoping to bring this message, our home and your table to the attention of the folks at Southern Living!

Many thanks, Cheryl, Louisiana, Spring 2012
Barb- The table arrived on schedule and it is beautiful. A terrific

It’s About A Vision
May 2012

It’s the hub of our family. It’s where we meet at least three times a day. New ideas are discussed and old ones rehashed. It’s covered with homeschool books, math manipulatives, science projects, and greasy finger prints. It’s our dining table.

So what’s the big deal about a dining table? Well, nothing unless the family has out grown it. We started with an antique game table. It was 3’ by 3’ with two 1’ breadboard extensions and four massively thick table legs that were always in the way when we tried to use the six chairs. So with our growing family, we needed a bigger table. We knew more about what we didn’t want than what we did.

Then there was my vision. I grew up with a holiday table overflowing with at least four generations of relatives. Most of those people are gone now, and the family has dwindled. Alan’s side of the family is also scant. To complicate things, we live far away from the rest of our families. When we started our family, I had a vision of a huge holiday table overflowing with our children, their spouses, and their children. Our family table wasn’t big enough for our everyday use, much less my vision.

So began the search. After much looking through stores and on the internet, we finally came to the conclusion that we’d have to have a table custom made. We wanted it to be rustic enough for everyday use and yet nice enough to be dressed up; just the right size for meals and homeschooling, with extensions for years down the line when we welcome sons- and daughters-in-laws. The table legs could not be in the way, and the chairs had to be comfortable so people would want to linger and talk or play games in front of the fireplace.

Finally we found the perfect source for our table and chairs. We talked with Jane from Lake & Mountain home, a company out of Massachusetts. Jane listened to our needs and concerns and talked with us about our ideas. She patiently made suggestions and then waited for us to make decisions. We selected a trestle table made from thick slabs of reclaimed oak barn wood, and we specified the degree of smoothness and a brown cherry finish. We asked that it be 7’ long and 42” wide with two 18” breadboard extensions. We added 12 fan-back chairs in a matching finish. Then we settled in to wait while Jane and her staff went to work. Two and a half months later the crate arrived. After days of rearranging furniture, unpacking boxes, and everyone helping put the table together, it was finally in place and it’s perfect! Part of a vision fulfilled. Just in time for our first holiday meal…Easter! A celebration of new beginnings. Some of our family use the chairs, others require booster seats, and still others are in highchairs, or, my favorite, Daddy’s lap. One day the vision will be complete; the extensions will be on and all the chairs will be filled. Who knows, we may still need that antique game table for an overflow table. It’s a table on which we can make new traditions and celebrate old ones. A table to grow on and with.

Dear Jane, my sincere apologies for sending this about a year & 1/2 later than I should have. But - I didn't forget. Im loving our table. Thank you for your beautiful work.

Hi Jane,
Hooray! We hired someone with a drill to put the screws in yesterday. Table looks great. We did find all the A's and the B's and they were mixed up but all is well now. Thank you so much for all you did to make this work out! You have been wonderful and kind and gracious.

And now....that we have the table and the finish is perfect I found your email of October 2010 (see below and attached photo). Are the chairs still available? Are they unfinished so that they could be finished to match the table?

If the chairs are available could you send me the dimensions of both the arm chair and the side chair including height, width, depth, seat height and height of the arm (on the arm chair)? And also the cost of each?

We would be interested in 12 chairs I think.

Hope you are staying warm and enjoying the last days of January.

Best,
Martha, Villanova, Pa.
We have now had a dining room table and four stools constructed by you and are so pleased that we thought we would ask about a third piece of furniture. My husband and I found something on line that is virtually perfect for the space and purpose we need it for. We would love to hear whether or not you could make something similar – not exact – and if we gave you a better idea of exactly what we wanted, how much it would cost. We would much prefer to buy it from you. The link to the piece is below.

Nantucket , Ma, Spring 2012
Jane, the entire kitchen and especially the workstation was a hit! I predict at least 1 of my sisters is going to be calling on you in the near future. And, I think also she is planning on a new addition with larger kitchen/dining room too! And, when my other sis n law sees it; she too will do the same. Although, she has a new kitchen. She is gonna want a custom made piece. I appreciate your product, professionalism and concern for my need. Sincerely,

Shannon Lurkins, Chicago, Il, Spring, 2012
Hi Jane and Barb,

We got the table home and in the dining room and we love it! Jane, you were right – seeing it in the light at home made a huge difference.

Massachusetts, Spring 2012
Hi Jane,

Thanks for the great table! We would like to order another one – same size with trestle base but this time not rustic (golden brown color). How much would that cost us?

Best,
Heather, Western Ma., Spring, 2012
Jane,
I was totally speechless when the table was delivered!!!! It is everything I wanted and more. Thank you for all your help. I've never seen such a beautiful piece of furniture!!

~Michelle, Pennsylvania, Spring, 2012
The tables and chairs arrived today (2/10/11) and they are fantastic!!! Can't say enough about the trestle table. It's just what my wife and I wanted... It has been a pleasure dealing with you, and I will try to emulate your service at my own business.
I want to briefly mention a minor hiccup with the installation. The gentlemen sent to deliver and assemble the table mistakenly used one of the 2 1/2" screws (for trestle mount) to attach the support base to the tabletop and in doing so screwed up and through the tabletop driving a hole through and very small fragment/splinter from the table face. I recognized it and the gentlemen backed the screw out and replaced it with the correct 1 3/4" screw from your installation plans. I actually think it adds to the story behind this table and in no way diminishes from the charm of this "rustic farm table" I have not contacted John as I am overall very happy your product and service; but mention this so that the different sized screws for installation may be clearly separated for their individual purpose at installation (if they're not already....).
I want to thank you again for everything and I will certainly keep you in mind with my future decorating plans....

Chris and I want you to know that the table exceeds our expectations. We are so pleased. When I used that exact quote of exceeding my expectations to my mother she said "Megan nothing ever exceeds your expectations." So that should tell you how much we love it.
The movers were fantastic, thank you for recommending them.
I will send picture separately, but it's hard to see with the sun in the background.
Thank you again we could not be happier.

Take care,
Megan, Hopkinton, Ma.
Jane thanks we received the chair today, unfortunately it arrived at my office and not the clients residence oh well. My guess is that the shipping aspect of the business is a pain in the neck. Pleased as punch with the chair and the quality of your work.

Merry Christmas, Nora, Mississippi
We love the table! We certainly "feel" the history of the wood. All of the effort you and your team put into creating such a beautiful piece is certainly worth it!
Love, love, love the table. it is so perfect. your
delivery guys were wonderful and we tipped them in homemade cookies. I think it took them by surprise. thank you so much. don't be surprised if you hear from our neighbor, he LOVED the table, too. thank you so much.

Hi Chris, Just wanted to let you know that we found your place easily; we picked up the bench, locked up and put the key back on the window sill. I love the bench and it looks even better in my entry that I had thought it would. Thanks so much! -
Melanie
Dear Chris, It's here! And I love it. It's color is the perfect match for my Syrian antique chest and ALL the elements you helped me resolve: oak vs pine, wide plansk, breadboard ends, especially the legs, just have it fit in that space like it's
meant to be. The extensions are so beautifully executed...the craftsmanship of all of it are beautifully detailed. Who'd have thought I'd have found my table on line. Without your help it wouldn't have happened.

Dear Chris, I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how beautiful the table and chairs are! The table is gorgeous, and is the perfect size for the
kitchen. The chairs came out beautifully as well. Jim, Jamie and I are all delighted. We're thinking that, at some point, we might want to order a couple of extra side chairs. Do you keep the information on file about the rub through color, so we could order those in, say, a year?
Thanks again! You all did a great job, and I am very pleased. Best,

Kathy, Weston Ma - Kathryn Spier

The table is absolutely stunning. John keeps saying"I am marveling at the transformation". We had a lovely dinner for two last night,have the Brady Bunch on Thursday, and now we have ABC News film makers coming for dinner next Friday. The timingcouldn't be better and we are so pleased.
Pictures forthcoming :)

The table is even more beautiful than in the photos you sent. The wood top (2") was the right depth, the wood pieces and finish are incredible.
It fits perfectly! And everyone who sees it raves over it. Thank you again for all your advice and guidance. We are already looking forward to our first meal on it.

It's gorgeous. Love it! Check out the pic. Delivery was a nightmare though. Took the shipping company FOUR attempts to get it to me. Worth
it though! I'll be in touch when I get around to the dining room. :)
Thanks for all your help!
