Gary,

Inspector Closeau went to Colusa and found the table and chair in perfect condition.

Very beautiful wood and much appreciated.

Gary,

Its all here safe and sound. It looks like it has been there forever. The table top is remarkable. The time taken to lay out the boards in a way that balances the figures is obvious, and very much appreciated. I looked at all of the seats, they are all very nicely matched too. I'll send some pictures with comments in a few days. I’m amazed at the correspondence between the figures on the seats and human sitting anatomy.

The fellows who delivered the furniture did a really great job getting it in. They did finally take off the top but only after sizing up the door situation themselves. It was a 1/2 inch socket and well as you would expect, that was the only one missing from my set. A quick trip to the hardware store solved that.

Thanks so much
Merry Christmas to you and yours

Hi Gary,

I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving. You may recall that when we first spoke I inquired as to how a wooden chair could be comfortable for dining. You responded by sending me one. We now own 24 of your chairs. I wish to report that 15 of them were occupied for our holiday meal. That's the maximum we can get around our table. We sat for 4 hours in perfect comfort. I call that the acid test.

All the best,

Dear Gary,

I first saw your furniture advertisement in the New Yorker magazine in 1998. I marvelled then at the beauty of your designs especially your dining room chairs and tables. And, I could not believe the claim of a wood chair being comfortable for long periods of conversation or extended reading. Ten years of wishing for a beautiful dining room table and chairs has now become a reality. My 6 maple Wilson dining room chairs and Paschall table are not only exquisitely crafted but extraordinarily comfortable for dining, conversation, and reading — a reader's favorite chair.

The Gary Weeks Rocker: Mesquite
Glass is yet to compare to it’s smoothness.
Exquisite elegance that can go from a log cabin to the White House, from "Maw’s" porch to the Smithsonian and never be out of place.
Truly an antique in the future that will be a prized treasure.
Beauty that delights the eye and blessed for the body to behold!

The Dining Chair. Walnut
An unmatched masterpiece. I have never owned nor had the pleasure of dining in a chair with such character. The lumbar support while eating and the support of the thighs is unparralled in the dining experience.
Buy the Best First and you’ll never regret it!
Gary Weeks is an artist that quickly becomes a friend~!

Gary,

Thanks for writing. I should have written you by now.

The chairs arrived on schedule and are beautiful as well as extremely comfortable. They are in our kitchen around a table that L.’s dad refinished 30 years ago and had featured prominently in her childhood. The chairs work very well with the table esthetically, too. I suspect we will end up ordering 6 more for the dining room eventually.

The mahogany sample was clearly marked and has been set aside for a rendezvous with our furniture painter.

Best to all, and thanks for the info about Marshall.

Regards,
J.S.

Hi Gary — I show off my dining chairs at every chance. They are stunning. Prized possessions.

Thank you!

Gary,

I ate dinner in the Wilson. I have never dined in a chair that forced me into an ergonomically correct position. It's a totally different experience than slouching and squirming through a meal. Now that I see (or rather, feel) what you can do with comfort, I am not going to let you get away with anything less on the low-back chair. [ I sent E. a prototype of a low-back dining chair. As she says: I don't have it right yet. — GW ] In fact, I am sitting in my home office IN THE WILSON typing this — yes, I absconded with it after dinner, and my schoolhouse desk chair has been exiled to the hallway.

I'm truly glad to be helpful, Gary. If I had it my way, we would only cut our precious trees to produce furniture of uncompromising quality.
