Unfortunately, when I subsequently contacted the owners to arrange for shipping, they told me that Ruidoso was a "small town" and finding a delivery service was unlikely. With that, we went back to pick it up ourselves. (A six-hour round trip.) The owner did help my husband load it into our Jeep, and told him that the screws which held the two pieces together were in one of the drawers. (We couldn't check ourselves because they had wrapped the pieces in plastic for transport.) Upon returning home, we discovered the screws were not there. (We ended up buying replacements from the hardware store.) The piece is beautiful, but the owners were less than careful in making sure the transaction was a success! I was sad, disappointed and very sorry for the situation, especially since I WAS such a frequent customer. I believe that merchants should take care of their customers, because the customers take care of them!

So get in there and check out the goods and find yourself a unique souvenir from a place that probably no one else that you know has ever been. And don't forget to visit the petroglyph site down the way behind the place. Take a minute and do it. How often do you get to see a petroglyph? Ancient, historic graffiti that tells the tales of way back when....yes...go and see that. Worth it. Take some pics. Don't touch the petroglyphs. Anyway, this is exactly the kind of place that you hope to stumble upon when you take off into the middle of nowhere and so if you're here, you've stumbled upon it. Congratulations. Now go inside and check it out. You'll be glad that you did.
