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,

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.

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.Ulster, Pennsylvania

Hello, everyone! Our cherry rocker arrived today with approximately $500 worth of cardboard, tape and foam. It is beautiful. It must have taken as long to wrap it as it did to make it! Thanks for taking such good care of us. We sing your praises.

The chair arrived safely. It's beautiful - and my wife and I took turns last night enjoying it!
Thanks so much for creating a beautiful piece for us, for the good customer service and supervised shipping experience. It was all just great.

I found Gary Weeks company on the internet. My sister lives in Houston and I wanted to see this chair so badly, I flew from Seattle to Houston and then we took a little weekend trip to Wimberley, TX. While I felt very comfortable that I could return the chair if I didn’t like it, a trip to see my sister seemed like a fun idea.
I’m so glad I went. I met Gary’s son Austin and a couple other members of their team. They were all very delightful and showed me their shop. They showed me the wood they use and how they put the chairs together. While eating at a restaurant in Wimberley, I saw a rocking chair and could tell it had been made in their shop. The chair in the restaurant was over 10 years old.
When you sit in the rocker, you just want to stroke the wood, it’s that soft. The chair is very comfortable. It fits both my husband and myself. I have a piece of functional art.
Also, the chair was shipped beautifully and I was apprised of when it would be delivered. The entire transaction was seamless from start to finish.
Don’t hesitate to purchase from this small, local company.”
Gary ...I hope [this] helps and I love my chair!!
