Gary, ... 

The chairs have such a silky and sensual texture and finish ... Everyone that sees and sits in them agrees.  We’ve sat in them now for at least 7 hours. So very comfortable as well as beautiful.

Your carpentry work is excellent and needs to have extended reach into the internet.  

My best regards,
E...

Gary,

What a nice message! …,  I will tell you that we LOVE the chairs!  They are both beautiful and comfortable.  Delivery couldn't have gone any smoother…

Best, A

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.

Hello Gary, Austin, and all of the furniture makers,

The chairs are fabulous. We could not be more pleased.
We also so much appreciate your expertise and the time you spend with us while we ... are making up our minds.

We (and M.) will see you at the next pick-up.

Many thanks,
B. and P.

Austin, Just wanted to let you know the breakfast table and chairs were delivered yesterday and everything was perfect. The table and chairs are beautiful and we are very pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of this furniture; it’s every bit as good as the T.Moser dining room set we own. Please let your entire team know that they did an outstanding job. Thank you again.

Hi Austin,
The chairs are literally the favorite things in my house right now. They turned out so well. The finish on the wood is impeccable and they are so comfortable to sit on.

Thanks,N

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.

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.

To all of you at Gary Weeks & Co.:

We continue to enjoy the kitchen table and chairs as well as the rocker that you made for us nearly 10 years ago.

We wish you continued success!

H. and K. M.

By the way, I’ve started using one of our armchairs for my daily meditation—it’s perfect for the task.
S.S.

I absolutely love my art you can sit on!

100% perfect.

M.B.

Austin,

We recently received the dining set. It is more beautiful than I even expected and I have high standards. As a hobby woodcrafter, I was impressed with your joinery and overall quality of your product. The furniture lines are simple and yet elegant. The chairs have good lumbar support. There are no brackets holding things together, instead, you rely on good craftsmanship and beautiful joinery.

Thank you,
E.

I do have to tell you a story about our dining room chairs. We have them in the dining room and are using them every day. A friend of ours came over to use our wifi since her house was seriously damaged during the big freeze in February... So, she came in and sat at the dining table on the chairs. After about 2-3 hours she told me that she was really worried when she came in and saw where we had set her up in the house. She thought she wouldn't be able to sit in the chairs for any length of time. However, she said she actually felt comfortable and sat there for another 2-3 hours. Your designs strike again!

Take care,
T.

Gary! We absolutely love the table and chairs.

N. and M.

Hello Gary,

Everything looked terrific after getting them unpacked. We are enjoying the rocker! It has already become a popular seat at the puzzle table in the living room. The arm chairs are a big hit with my husband.

You and your family stay healthy!

Thank you again for designing and making these beautiful pieces.

J.

The chairs we have from you are a constant source of pleasure for us and our guests.

E. S.

Hi Gary,
The writing desk, chairs and bar stools arrived this morning in good condition. You're right, the desk is particularly nice, but I think the arm chair might be my new favorite. All are beautiful and I thank you...for your fine craftsmanship and I am truly happy to have these new additions in my home.

Hi Autumn,

The chairs were delivered yesterday - and my wife called me upon delivery and was totally delighted! I saw them last night, and we are both very pleased with our decision to work with you. The chairs are just spectacular, and we can't wait to show them off this holiday season (along with our amazing rocker!).

Thank you and everyone at Gary Weeks & Company for your craftsmanship and diligence. Every step of the process from ordering to delivery was handled perfectly, and your products - they are truly special pieces of art - and great furniture! You should all be proud of your work, and of the way your company does business.

Thank you and best regards,
G. N.

The table, chairs and bench are beautiful and perfect in the space. We are truly pleased and admire them daily. I think A. got tired of just looking and encouraged me one night- “Come on, Mom! Let’s break this new table in!” We’ve been using it since for eating, homework and all sorts of other things. Please thank everyone there for us.

Be the way, your delivery folks showed utmost care and courtesy.

Best wishes to all, J. S.

Gary,
Yes we received the furniture and have three words for you: We. Love. It.

It's beautiful and fits really well in our home. We hope to enjoy it for a long time.

BTW, I have a business trip upcoming to Austin, on 9/23 and 9/24, and if you're around would try to come by to see your office.

Thanks again,W.

Yes, they did. Everything is good. The walnut was the perfect choice. It was all we were hoping for.

P.B.

Gary,

The table and chairs came today. Beautiful!! We are very pleased and excited!!

R. W.

Gary,

This is so interesting. I was thinking that I should email you and say thanks to you and your team for getting us our beautiful chairs. They are beautiful and we love them. They take away a little of the sting of losing all the dining room furniture and will allow us to start a brand new set of memories once the house is livable. Things continue to progress, but it's still not complete. Now we're just hoping for June.

We just got back from our annual ski trip to Switzerland and got to visit the stool we had you make for our friends. They still use it every day and it has mellowed to a beautiful color. It made us smile and think of you guys.

Best wishes,

T.F.

Good morning Gary,

Thank you for the kind words!

This may sound silly, but your furniture helps me relax (not something I am very proficient at!).

I dislike clutter and the beautiful lines of your pieces are just aesthetically perfect for me. The dining chairs are the most comfortable computer chairs I've ever owned (I can sit comfortably for hours in these chairs!).

I find the footstools for my rockers to be great seating -- and my cats love the curve of those and appropriate them when I rock. I never get to put my feet up -- those now belong to the purr-babies :)

I thought long and hard about investing in the small table and stools for my lanai -- but your furniture is worth every penny.

I really love having useful art :)

C.S.

Gary, we are very pleased with the new chair and footstool...My artistic wife said, “tell him the chair is beautiful..., a work of sculpture in wood”. And we are using the footstool with a $3000 Eames lounge chair. As for the 6+ year old rocker, this summer we loaded it into the back of our Audi, drove into Michigan to the house of a young nephew who just had his first child, a very large baby boy named H. He and his wife needed a rocker and they just loved this chair. We later heard they were inviting family members over to see the rocker, let alone the new baby!

Thanks from the whole family.

J.S.

We continue to enjoy the custom walnut dining table and chairs your firm created and delivered two years ago. Over last week's Thanksgiving holiday weekend the table extended from square to long to medium and back to its usual square configuration. The most significant compliment to the set, even more important than its beautiful wood, is that friends and family lingered at the table talking after meals instead of heading immediately to the sofas and recliners. Truly comfortable chairs!

Thanks,
L.L.M.

Dear Gary and all,

Yes the chairs arrived in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. They are beautiful. B is so happy to have them. The entire family marveled at the beauty of your workmanship, the gorgeous deep color of the walnut and the comfortable seat and arms. Another triumph! Thank you and keep up the good work!

E.M.

Hi Gary and team,

Just writing to say thank you for the stunningly gorgeous table and chairs! They are absolutely perfect.

It was worth the wait living on Ikea furniture and hand-me-downs for many years until we could finally acquire our first real "adult" dining room furniture.

I had a friend come over to receive the delivery with me, and she could not get over the incredible lumbar support in the chairs. (I was of course already accustomed to it from my parents' furniture!)

Thank you for your wonderful craftsmanship and your attentiveness throughout the process! We will of course highly recommend your work to anyone we know who wants the highest quality wood furniture!

-M.M. & A.M.

Dear Gary, Austin, and Autumn,

The three pieces arrived today, carefully carried into the space by Plycon’s delivery folk. No damage of any sort, just a little tape residue here and there which comes off with a microfiber cloth.

And the pieces are beautiful. The photos on the web site made me confident, as did the explanations of how the designs came to be and were executed, but pictures just can’t capture what you have made for us. We’re particularly struck by the quiet elegance, the subtle detail, the way that all the furniture somehow combines a sort of humility and practicality with sheer beauty. And of course the craftsmanship is superb.

We’ve looked at lots of rockers over the years (Portland is that kind of town), but never found anything that seemed right, shaped to the body, friendly to the eye, confident in its own place in the world but not trying to make a statement. And the desk and accompanying chair are worthy kin.

We feel very lucky to have found your work, and are grateful to all who have put their hands to this project.

Best wishes,

R.K.

Hi Gary,

The chairs arrived and they are beautiful. The darker eastern walnut compliments the lighter western walnut of our dining table. The chairs are beautifully made and are gorgeous to the touch. Thank you.

B.S.

Hi Gary,

My enthusiasm is borrowed from my dad, who owns two of your rockers and is a little obsessed. :) My parents have a kitchen table and chairs from you too. He's been singing your praises for years, and I'm glad we can finally lay claim to our own Gary Weeks furniture!

Thank you!

M.M.

Gary et al.

The table and chairs were delivered today in perfect condition. And they're even nicer than I expected. Thanks so much for your fine workmanship.

Best wishes,

L.H.

Good afternoon! Am in receipt of two more gorgeous chairs. Thank you so very much for such sensationally sweet furniture. Will send pictures once all is done, hopefully next week.

Well Wishes,
M.M.

Austin,

Here are the chairs at HOME. Will enjoy these guys the rest of my life. Thank you and your staff for doing an excellent job.

L.S.

Hello Autumn,
I just wanted to let you know that our chairs arrived safe and sound yesterday. We just love them! Thanks so much. We'll always treasure them!

N.K & M.K..

Gary,

They arrived in perfect shape and now we have cleaned our office/library and they are at the small desk you made for me for the same room. They look great. I'm looking forward to them using them also around the dining table this Thanksgiving when we will need more that the current 8 chairs. I'm very happy that we have had that table from essentially the time my two boys were born and knowing that it will follow with one of them some day.

C.C.

Received our table and chairs today, and just wanted to say thanks, they are everything we wanted and look wonderful in our home.

Again many thanks

J.H.

Hi Gary –

I've had my set of chairs for a few months now, and I've been meaning to get back to you, and this is as good a time as any.

The chairs are fabulous. The design, construction and finish are flawless. They are just what I was looking for. I only have a few friends who can tell a good chair from a bad chair, but the ones who can have picked them out right away. I'm proud to have them at our table.

We've had a bunch of dinners with friends and family around our big table since we got the chairs. Good company, good food and good conversation are the centerpiece of our home, and sitting in your chairs while I watch a pleasant evening unfold has made many evenings even more pleasant.

You do good work. Thank you.

A.G.

Dear Gary,

We have enjoyed your chairs for a few years now and have not found any others that come close for beauty and comfort. We now have another home in Hawaii (Honolulu) and are interested in purchasing about 8 chairs for our home there. Same type of chairs we ordered previously: 2 arm chairs, 4 side chairs . . .

Sincerely,
G. L.

Hi Gary,

Beautiful! We're very happy with the table. It matches the chairs perfectly and looks so nice in our dining room. I've attached a couple of snapshots.

All the best,
S. W.

I just wanted to send you an extra email to tell you how much I enjoy the table and chairs. When I sit in them, the word that comes to mind is "hug". I just feel cradled in these chairs. I have a very large friend and she loved her chair as well, the one WITH the arms! W. said completely out of the blue as we were sitting one day, "This is a FANTASTIC table" as he smoothed his hand over it. And I love telling the story about how I found you again after so many years!

Just wanted you to know :-) Feel free to use whatever you want in what I say as a testimonial.

All the best in the meantime,
M. M.

Hey Gary,

You were on my list to email today, and you got me first. We LOVE the chairs, they are beautiful pieces of craftsmanship. Thank You so much!!

B. & K.

Hey Gary —

They delivered the chairs Thursday evening. They are perfect. My wife is as happy as I am, which matters a lot. They arrived in flawless shape.

If I were to scratch one at some point I'm wondering how to mend that. Does that info exist on your web site? I assume sand it smooth and put some sort of oil on it?

Thanks again — we love your work.

Al

Gary,

Thanks for arranging for us pick up the chairs during your vacation. Will was extremely helpful and very easy to work with. The pickup could not have gone smoother.

We are very pleased with the chairs and will tell everyone where we got them.

Regards
S.Z.

The van just left and our house now looks like a home with a real dining table and chairs and the rocker in the living room. No more card table and garden chair. We will send some photos soon. Many thanks again for your beautiful craftsmanship.

J. and D.

Hi Gary,

I have been meaning to write to you for several days . . .

The table and chairs were delivered as promised without incident. All packing appeared to be intact from your preparation.

We just love the table and chairs. They are so beautiful. Your blending of fine craftsmanship and elegance stand out. The chairs compliment your rocking chair that is nearby.

Thank you for caring to create such fine furniture.

C.

Gary,

It did! The pieces are beautiful, and we couldn't be happier.

We very much appreciate all of the care taken to craft and deliver the furniture. We will certainly be recommending the work most highly. Thank you!

best,
P.

Gary —

I've been meaning to drop you a note. They are, in a word, perfect. My wife and I are now very attached to what is our breakfast nook. I cannot tell you how much we enjoy the furniture you make, and beyond that, the customer service you provide. Fans forever!

All the best,
E.

Dear Gary,

Thanks for your kind note.

Yes, I was sorry not to be able to tag along for the pickup. My work schedule and a vehicular breakdown required me to stay in Austin.

As to the chairs, they are a delight. I'm sitting in one of the new ones right now. And as I mentioned, I've parked my tush in many different chairs over my writing career and your arm chair is simply the best.

Warm regards,
R.
