Austin,

I have not a shred of doubt that your furniture will stay with us for life and will serve us just as the rocker has for the past 13 years (by the way, it looks better with time). And the way we got here, you and us, was a rewarding experience. It is not just a table and four chairs one can buy somewhere off the shelf; it’s a member of the household now.

On a lighter note, thanks for the circles around the screws on the crating. They made the unpacking much easier. And it is a pity that you could not see those who passed by when I was undoing the crating: obviously, I had to do it in the street as there was no way of carrying the wooden box up a flight of stairs that separates the street from our door. Nobody asked the question but I could unmistakably read it in their faces: what on earth can possibly be inside?

Sure, do use any of my quotations although your furniture needs no advertising.

Austin, it was a real pleasure. Please do extend my regards to your father and our thanks to everyone who worked on those items.

Best wishes,

Austin,

I am sitting at the table and on one of the chairs that were delivered this morning. When I saw the crating, I understood why you were somewhat dismissive of insurance. Great job.

I can hardly thank you enough for superb craftsmanship and excellent logistics. I know it was challenging. Who would ever thought that a Gary Weeks and Company trademark would be found right under a renaissance castle somewhere in the middle of Europe?

Thank you, Austin. It was a real pleasure to get back in touch.

Best wishes,
M.

Hi Gary

The rocker arrived in great shape, it’s absolutely perfect. The craftsmanship is outstanding. I’m so glad that I selected the American Walnut but I’m sure in any wood it would have been beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Hi Gary,

...Everything with the delivery went well, and the table looks beautiful in our living/dining room..

You really broke the mold with that shipping box! It had a little damage on the feet of the box, but that was minor and due to the lifting and moving I’d guess. In the end, it served its purpose, and now you have another one of your beautiful pieces sitting on an island here in the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you so much. Regards to the whole team.

Dear Gary,
…It was so wonderful seeing your shop…
Every piece you lovingly create has touched the earth in a profound way. The wood has been caressed by the wind, washed with the rain, traveled on by insects, supported nests, sung to by birds and crickets and smiled on by God. It traveled a lifetime to be enjoyed by you to become a part of countless memories in people’s homes. Parents rocking their newborns, seniors reminiscing their life while rocking and families gathered together at mealtime sharing life.
WOW! I truly love what you do!God bless you, your family and your business.

Hi, I just wanted you folks to know again how much V. and I really like this rocker. It is a beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you very much. The other thing again is the shipping box. That's an amazing piece of corrugated engineering.

Hi, Gary,
...We still play with our shipping boxes. At Thanksgiving, the grandkids made them into a "store," and one is still in our garage as a "cave." Grandkids make everything fun.

Hey,

The rocker arrived Monday in great shape. Your very impressive crating protected it very well. We enjoyed getting to meet you all in the showroom. The rocker y'all built is an absolute pleasure. Some of the nicest money I've spent.

Dear “All who make this possible”
We just received our second shipment of dining room chairs, the first shipment being about a year ago. They are wonderful, along with the maple rocker we purchased last year.
My thanks and appreciation are directed at all involved in making such consistently beautiful creations. I speak as a retired farmer who knows the challenges of running a business as well as a beginning woodworker who know the challenges making something that I a proud to have in my house that has no screws holding it together!
Here is a list of my thanks, please let all the ones who had a part in the process know of my love for the excellence of their work.
Design beauty, flowing lines strength functionality
Wood storage all the difficulty involved
Wood selection and cutting for best appearance
The Shop, machines buildings maintained, and safety dust control
Consistency in parts matching
Skills at band saw, courage at table saw
Joinery amazing shoulder and dowel work
Gluing never a crack
Finish sanding and coats of finish, spotless
Care in handling, a ding at the end ruins a lot of work, as I know!
Culture of excellence requires skilled management and dedicated employees
Family continuity a tribute to family dynamics
Packaging
Great office correspondence
I feel love in your work.
I know I have missed someone, I apologize for that.
How we do what we do really does matter.
Yours,
L. B.

Gary,

We are so glad to hear from you.

J. delivered their first baby on the 19th of December. Your Weeks rockers are the most beautiful and comfortable rockers anywhere! One of the best touches we have had is to meet the gal who actually made the rocking chair and delivered the chair! Autumn delivered the chair on the way to her Thanksgiving holiday with family. I was surprised at how young she is and how accomplished she is in woodworking. She delivered a top quality rocker...

You have grown the business so much, I practically don't recognize you. Ken and I bought our rocker several years earlier when your website was a little older and a lot fuzzier in appearance. The website is so professional compared to back then. I first found you by searching the web for rocking chairs that fit both short and tall people. Our family has people from 5 feet to 6'3”...

I love the Weeks rocking chair and frequently have people sit in it just for the experience, because it is such a lovely experience. The balance of the rocker makes for a soothing rock instead of a store bought clunky rock that requires more force to keep it going and "jumps" halfway through the rock because it isn't balanced properly. (think the white porch rockers that are sold everywhere or the more expensive rockers in a furniture store--there is simply no comparison)

Again, your craftsmanship is superb!
Merry Christmas to your family and family of Gary Weeks & Company!
Blessings,C.
