When he tries to sit at a table, his knees are always to high and he ends up sitting on the side by himself. My Mom, who has dementia, needs help getting in and out of chairs, so it\u2019s always a battle with her caregivers when a chair seat is too low.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But she had a plan, and was doing her research, when she stumbled on our website\u2026and found an ally. After reading about Forever Redwood, Lydia <em>\u201cdecided to take a chance on a company that was not only dedicated to keeping our environment intact, but also produced extremely beautiful, well made custom furniture.\u201d<\/em> The \u201ccustom\u201d part was essential to Lydia and her son, Hunter. They needed a table for the whole family to gather around and nothing store bought could meet their specific requirements:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>So, with the help of Forever Redwood\u2019s website and a little guidance from Raul, my son and I began to design a Patio set that would meet both my Dad&#8217;s and Mom&#8217;s needs:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreverredwood.com\/wooden-patio-furniture\/chairs.html\">Vera&#8217;s Armchairs <\/a>with the swivel at a 23&#8243; seat height for my Mom<\/li>\n<li>A 4-1\/2 foot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreverredwood.com\/square-wood-patio-table.html\">Square Patio Table <\/a>at a 36&#8243; height for my Dad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With these specs clearly defined by the Tripletts, our staff got to work to bring their vision to life, and delivered the table and patio chairs that solved their problems. Lydia\u2019s final words say it all:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The happiness a simple set design could bring to a family able to eat dinner together. I am truly grateful for the hard work your team does to make a lifetime of memories for so many people.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We thank the Tripletts for the love and for sharing their touching and inspiring story.
