About Us

Welcome to GTXAPE – where we believe that simple, handcrafted objects can bring significant value to a busy life.

We are GTXAPE LLC, a small business driven by a big passion, based right here at 2301 Industrial Parkway West, Hayward, California. GTXAPE was founded and is led by Rosemarie Robart.

Our Core Products: More Than Just Games

GTXAPE focuses on creating products that encourage mindful engagement:

• Wooden Puzzles: Challenging, handcrafted pieces that require patience and observation.

• Wooden Brain Teasers / Logic Puzzles: Compact 3D logical challenges, perfect for sharpening the mind.

• Wooden Decorative Objects: When not in use, our pieces serve as sophisticated, warm accents for your coffee table, bookshelf, or office desk.

The Origin Story: Why Wood and Why Puzzles?

The motivation behind GTXAPE is simple and personal. Rosemarie noticed that in this fast-paced, digitally saturated era, people need a moment of stillness—a real “pause button.”

• A Personal Belief in Tangibility: Rosemarie was tired of mass-produced goods. She wanted to create something truly tangible. She loves the genuine feeling of wood and the unique satisfaction that comes from solving a problem with your hands and mind. This conviction is why she chose Wooden Puzzles—they symbolize slowness, patience, and true focus.

• Lasting Value: We believe in wood – a sustainable, beautiful material with inherent character. Our items are designed to endure, becoming cherished objects that can be enjoyed for years, unlike disposable goods.

Our Business Model: Direct-to-Consumer and Uncompromising Quality

Rosemarie made the conscious decision to sell directly on the GTXAPE website rather than relying solely on large marketplaces.

• Absolute Quality Control: Selling directly allows us to control the entire customer experience. We personally oversee the design, material sourcing, packaging, and service. This ensures every product is meticulously checked and reaches you in perfect condition.

• Preserving True Value: By bypassing high commissions and multiple middlemen, we can invest more heavily in sourcing premium materials while keeping our pricing fair. This model allows us to honor both the quality of our craft and our customers.

Our Operations: Quality Sourced and Made in the USA

Our commitment to quality starts at the very beginning:

• Trusted US Suppliers: To create these puzzles, we partner with reliable and reputable wood material suppliers, all of whom are based right here in the United States. While we keep their specific names confidential for business reasons, we guarantee that our raw materials are always traceable and meet high standards.

• California Oversight: All other steps, from final design review to careful packaging and shipping, are managed from our facility in Hayward, California.

Who Shops at GTXAPE?

We serve a specific kind of customer—one who values integrity and substance:

• They love quiet intellectual challenges and seek something real and tactile to disconnect and relax.

• They appreciate American quality and the natural, inherent beauty of wood.

• They support small, independent businesses striving to do things the right way.

GTXAPE 2025 is a journey of authenticity, focus, and quality. We hope our wooden puzzles bring moments of joy and mindful engagement into your life.
