Dear Renée,

I wanted to tell you how very much we love our new vaisselier - It is absolutely perfect! You certainly have an eye for beautiful furniture. We could not be happier with the piece and with your excellent service. I was so impressed by your knowledge of French antiques, your responsiveness to my many questions, and your flexibility to add things to the piece that I wanted. The photos on your website were amazingly clear allowing me to be confident in my long distance purchase. I have more things on my wish list, so I hope to work with you again soon!

Bon voyage on your upcoming trip - I can't wait to see what treasures you find!

Thanks Again,

Dear Renée,

I had to write to let you know how happy we are with everything. The enfilade is beautiful!! It fits perfectly. And the other items are wonderful and better than I expected. We were also very pleased with Craters and Freighters.

I'm sure I'll be in touch. I'm still thinking about the mirror.

Have a great day.

Thank you so much,

I received the bronze bell with noblewoman and she is beautiful, very unique. She is the perfect size and accent to my kitchen island shelf décor. The ring has a pleasant tone. Thank you for all your help in the transaction. I am a very satisfied customer!

...how fabulous the chairs are!!! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and patience with me while deciding on them. They are wonderful and Robert and I are both pleased. I am attaching a picture from yesterday. We had both parents over for Mother's Day lunch and it was such a special day for Robert and me to be able to seat everyone around the same table in our great new chairs! Everyone just loved them and believed we couldn't have chosen a better match. Thank you, thank you!! Hope you are all doing great and I will check the website...as you can see from the picture, we are still in need of some more pieces to complete these rooms. Hope your weekend was a special one.

Hi Renée, 

I received the chairs last night. They are beautiful! They go with my kitchen perfectly. I love how the finish shows reddish and a darker brown - a great contrast to my cabinets and floor. They are very comfortable too. I am so glad I found your website and will be watching it regularly. Thank you for the terrific service. 

Enjoy your spring and I hope to be contacting you again soon. 

Best Regards,

Renée, 

The chairs arrived in great condition and the packaging exceeded exectations. The finished product and the upholstery work was exactly what we were hoping for and the set of chairs looks fantastic in our dining room. Most important, my wife was and is thrilled in spite of her skepticism about an internet purchase. 

Thanks for all of your help and good service. We look forward to working with you again. 

Best Regards,

Hi Renée! 

Thanks for checking up on the arrival of my panetiere. It arrived safely and is even more beautiful than the photos. I absolutely love it, love it, love it. You didn't mention that the door was lined in a beautiful Provincial fabric! Thanks.

Hello Renée, 

I wanted to let you know we received the desk yesterday. It is beautiful and arrived in great condition and it fits the room beautifully. As you know I was hesitant to purchase such an expensive item without actually seeing it, but it completely lived up to my expectations and your description of it. I will definitely keep my eyes on your web site, as we have several more items we are still searching for. 

Thanks,

Hi Renée: 

The antique paintings and bench I purchased online from your store arrived and are beautiful. Your wonderful advice and additional pictures and descriptions were so helpful. It's such a treat to find a great source for French antiques and friendly and helpful service too! 

I look forward to frequently checking out your website.

Hi Renée, 

The chairs arrived last week, expertly crated and in beautiful condition. The fabric color is even more perfect than I imagined. Thanks again for your professional & friendly service. 

My best to you & your family,

Renée, 

The easel, secretary, bench and jardinière all arrived today. They are all absolutely stunning. They are all more beautiful than the pictures on the web. Your descriptions and and sizes were accurate so they all have perfect fits in our home. Your professionalism, responsiveness and business integrity are appreciated. I was really uncertain about ordering furniture from a website that I found online, but I am really glad I took the chance. 

If you ever need a reference, I'll be glad to serve as one. When do you leave for France? I would like to email a wish list to you. 

Thanks again,

Hello Renée! 

I meant to email you before now, but haven't, sorry! I LOVE the walnut enfilade I bought from you! The pictures didn't even do it justice! Mom absolutely loves it and she mentioned to me about us maybe going out there someday to see your shop! If we do, I'll find out first if you're going to be there, so we don't miss you. 

Thanks again for the beautiful piece!

Dear Renée, 

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer questions and show me around your shop. Yours is a unique store, and quality was evident in every corner. I enjoyed spending time with you and Terry.

Renée, 

Hello! I visited your shop this last Saturday, and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it! It was so nice to meet you and visit with you--you and your family have created a beautiful place and it suits you well.

Dear Renée 

Carol and I are overjoyed with the antique base that you sold us and later shipped to us in NY. The experience was one of the the best we have had dealing with a business. Not only did you research and find just the base of a table. Not only was it in fantastic condition. Not only was it being shipped from France and then being shipped from Arkansas, but it arrived in perfect conditon. The use of Craters and Freighters was the right choice. It took me almost an hour to unpack it from the crate and unwrap all the protective wrap around the base. The pictures we saw of the base while it was in France did not do it justice. There is so much more detail in this piece. I made a temporary top of 3/4 oak ply and we put a short red table cloth on it for the holidays. We are looking for a 42" granite top that will be made and added to this beautiful piece of furniture. If anyone is doubtful about buying or shipping furniture from French Metro Antiques, just have them e-mail me. 

Thank you very much,

Renée,

I have just unpacked the pair of 19th Century artisan-made cherry benches I ordered from French Metro... I am absolutely thrilled! The color, workmanship and size are perfect. I greatly appreciate your commitment to quality service --- from a discerning and informative description to the careful shipping --- all exceptional. I look forward to shopping with French Metro again and will continue to check your website for more fabulous pieces.

Take care,

Good morning Renée

I just received my beautiful vineyard table and I love it even more than I thought I would. Thanks so much for all your help and I'll keep my eye on your website for more treasures. Best regards to you,

PS. I couldn't believe how well the table was packed for shipping. I will definitely use Craters and Freighters again if I have the chance. Thanks!

Hi Renée,

I received the chairs today and I was very pleased with their condition, looks, and the quality shipping by Craters and Freighters. I couldn't have asked for any of it to have been handled any better! It was a pleasure doing business with your wonderful store!

Dear Renée,

I am very pleased with my first purchase online! It was a pleasure to work with you, and I truly appreciate your integrity and prompt responses to my questions. My piece is exactly as you presented it, but even more lovely. I look forward to "shopping" again at French Metro Antiques.

Sincerely,

Dear Renée

It is so rewarding to meet someone new who embraces the arts and culture as important to all of life, and I can see that you and your family are totally committed to that. Your shop is an inspiration. There is a sense of calmness and beauty there that, as you said, people are hungry for, and it speaks to me as well.

Artistically,

Dear Renée:

I was very impressed with your quick responses to my questions and all the pictures you mailed. The Louis XV cherry bonnetiere we ordered from you arrived quickly and is even more beautiful in person than it is in pictures. Thank you for your kindness and patience. I'm looking forward to doing business with you again.

Just wanted to let you know that I have been extremely pleased with all of the items which I have purchased from you. Everything I have received has been excellent quality and even more lovely than the photos on your website. Your quick responses to questions and very prompt shipping is appreciated as well.

Dear Renée,

I would like to let you know what a delight it has been doing business with you. Each piece of furniture I have bought from you has made a huge impact to each of my rooms. I have been able to mix the lovely French antique pieces very well with contemporary pieces. I am extremely pleased with the appearance and theme of my home. Living in Dallas, TX, I have found your prices very competitive. I have also been very impressed with Terry's ability to finish the furniture. I would like to thank you for all your advice in making my home beautiful.

Thanks again,
Mia P.

Dear Renée & Terry,
It is always a joy to do business with you. A business owned by people who love what they do shows in all that they do. The fact that you have a deep appreciation for history and true craftsmanship is evidenced by the pieces you purchase to put in your shop. I share the same love for the history and artistry, and the pieces I have been fortunate enough to purchase from you have become our family treasures. As a client, I appreciate the fact that you take enough personal interest to recognize a piece that would fit in our home. It is obvious that French Metro is more than a business to you. Congratulations on your first anniversary!

Warmest regards,
Julie H.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have found your wonderful "French" shop upon my move to Rogers! Everything is lovely.
