“I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.”
Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."

Needed to add a new grandchild
Have needed to replace an arrow wo times as additional grandchildren came along. In both cases it was very easy and the replacements were exactly what we expected. Easy to order, proper item, and reasonable delivery--5 star all the way.

Signpost replacement
Recently had to replace one of the signs due to a relationship change. Glad that the original company was still in business.

Great Fun!
Our first signs were a Christmas gift from our 4 daughters. They gave use the family directional milage sign and individual signs to mark the walking and utving trails on our property. We loved them so much that we purchased 2 more to mark more trails, including one that memorializes a pet dogs favorite trail. Wonderful idea and great product!

This is an additional sign. The original had a rectangle or the top, no arrow. Is it possible to have another rectangle only sign made, no arrow? My step mother moved and this sign will be added to what she has and we would prefer no arrow. I understand price may change. Thank you. If not possible, then we don't want the mileage on the new one.

Hi there! The top sign is not sold separately. You can email our team at [email protected] with your initial order information so we can reach out to the artist for options.

Hello! I purchased your sign post last Christmas as a gift for my mother-in-law. She loves it!!! Now we have moved out of state. I would like to replace the blue arrow (pointing towards left) to include our new mileage distance will this be possible please?

Hello, I noticed one of your customers were able to place the signs on the pole in different directions. I would like to do the same, how would that be accomplished? Do I buy the signs and pole separately?
Verified reply from Norma
When you place your order you can decide what direction you would like your sign to face. When you purchase your Directional Sign you can decide how many signs you would need.

Want to purchase the top sign (not arrow) Is that possible
Verified reply from Melody
Thanks for your question! The signpost only comes in the arrow shape.

Can I pick the font for the sign I choose? I need a 2-1/2" sign to fit on my existing signpost but do not like the font on the original sign (2nd sign - fern green).
Verified reply from Valerie
The font and the color go together, so if you want a different font you'd have to select a different color. Coral and purple are also 2.5" but have different fonts.

This is what I am looking for how can I ensure that I will order the correct sign that corresponds with the 5th sign on the actual family sign post? Would it be based on color? Thanks
Verified reply from Valerie
Sign height is dependent on the color chosen. If you'd like to purchase a sign as a replacement sign for the signpost (https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/personalized-family-member-signpost), you must chose the same color to make sure the holes on the signpost align correctly with the sign.

When choosing the right or left arrow, would this be based on my perspective when facing the sign, or from the perspective of the sign.
Verified reply from Valerie
Think of this as north/south or east/west and position the arrows accordingly. You'll want the arrow to point in the approximate direction of the location you're representing based on where you will place the sign in your yard.

Can you do one of these signs without the arrow, as on the top of the signpost signs?
Verified reply from Jen
Unfortunately, this item cannot be customized in this way.
- Andy
Would you be willing or able to do a double arrow so that I could have you personalize the sign as a no parking sign?
Verified reply from Marisa
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, that's not possible with this item. You could, however, purchase the sign and instead of a name, put "No Parking" as the customization you want then choose the direction you'd like the sign to go.
