Hello!
The table, chairs, and rocking chair just arrived. They are absolutely beautiful! I¹m almost speechless. You¹ve exceeded my expectations, which were already pretty high given what I¹d seen on your website.Thank you so very much.
Best,

Gary,
I was planning on contacting you today. I am so pleased with my new table and chairs! They are just as beautiful and well made as my rocker. The delivery men were here by 7:30 a.m. and couldn't have been more courteous and professional. It is so reassuring to know there are still people who care about quality workmanship and customer service. I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for all you have done to make this senior citizen happy!
Best wishes to you and yours,
B.Miamisburg, OH
We are loving our dining chairs! Everyone who visits and sits in them remarks on how comfortable, and how beautiful, they are. We are doing what we can to spread your excellent reputation.

LOVE OUR NEW TABLE AND CHAIRS
Thanks so much! Will take a pic when we get it together — guys delivered early and haven¹t had time to clean the new hardwood floor — gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Blessings,

Gary, just wanted you to know that the table and chairs arrived without any problems this morning just like you said it would. Deb says it a real work of art. Although I haven't been home to see it yet the one thing that Deb commented on was that the color seemed awfully "light." I assume it will become darker and richer in color over time, right?
Respectfully,
K.Burke, VA
Hi Gary and All,
Just wanted to let you know everything arrived today in perfect condition. The table and chairs are beautiful, in their place, ready for us to use and enjoy them for many years to come. The rocker is so comfortable and gorgeous. It supports the whole body perfectly. And the Otwell tables are great. Light, easy to move around and elegant without fuss. We are thrilled with every piece you made for us.Thanks!!!

Gary,
I appreciate the follow up. Yes, we did receive them on Monday. They look great and we really like them! You definitely make a quality product and we'll refer others to you. I have a question. I know cherry darkens when exposed to UV light. The area in our kitchen is fairly protected from sunlight. Would you recommend us placing them in an area with more sunlight for a few days to darken them a bit faster?
Thanks,
S.Beaver Creek, Ohio
Our chairs arrived last week. They are everything and more that you said they would be. When we are finished with our home remolding, later this winter, will send pictures.

Dear Gary,
I wanted to put a review on to your site, but this will have to act as a testimonial, because I am really pleased with everything we purchased from you.
I originally bought the rocking chair because I wanted a comfortable chair that had no upholstery, since I had two cats (enough said there). The chair was so comfortable that I purchased the dining room chairs as well. Also very comfortable. The design is a perfect fit to the human body. Now I have grand children and needed a stool to help them step up to the sink and such, but also for me to sit at their level without struggling up and down from the floor. Once again . . . the stool is perfect. Just the right height and sturdy, well balanced, so no tipping when a child stands on it, and very comfortable to sit on and rise from. The price is also half that of a similar piece I was considering from a local furniture maker. I am very pleased.
Regards,,
K.Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Gary, Leslie et al,
Came across this interesting piece of information with a "wooden" theme.
Want to pass it on to you along with our good wishes.
It's been almost 5 years now since we acquired our wonderful Phillips table, Wilson chairs, Cherry rockers + footstools.
We are so grateful that we made the decision to invest in your furniture.
The quality of our daily lives has been immeasurably enhanced through our connection with you.
Think of you often and wish you well.
Sincerely,
M. E. and K.Prescott, Arizona
Gary,
The table and chairs all arrived about an hour ago. Delivery process was excellent (3 hours early)!.
After all the plotting and scheming and design work, you can see that the table and all 6 chairs fit into the corner of our kitchen perfectly. We're going to have a great time enjoying them down the years.
Thank you again for your beautiful work, and willingness to carefully plan our unique solution.
S.Mountain View, California
Gary —
Once again you've successfully made a splendid modification to your existing collection of collectible useables. One chair in particular has what seems to be a warm flame grain, especially when the sun hits it just right.
Thx from us,
M.Santa Monica, California
Hi Gary,
The furniture has arrived, and I will send you a picture soon.
It is as beautiful as we anticipated. And the chairs force you into a comfortable position!
Thanks,
S.Stonington, Connecticut
Gary,
We are enjoying our chairs and had a pleasant visit with your son.
. . . Thanks so much for the wonderful experience with your chairs, colleagues and family business.
L.Dripping Springs, Texas
Yes, I received the two chairs on Fri, so I was going to e-mail you this morning, but you are one step ahead of me. The chairs are awesome and in perfect condition. I enjoy working with wood myself, but you are an artist, and I am a novice. I am going to have a hard time letting people sit in them, they are that beautiful. I am also thankful that you will be making the table and chairs for me. I will be showing them off to my guests, and rest assured, they will know who made them. Thank you ever so much, you have mastered the art, and I am proud to display it.

Gary,
We arrived home early this afternoon . . . and it was such a treat to see the dining room furniture. It is just perfect and looks wonderful in our new house. Thank you again.
J.Ivins, Utah
Gary —
The table and chairs are absolutely beautiful! We look forward to having wonderful family togetherness around this table. I have a new set of white porcelain dishes befitting such fine furniture. We'll send a picture of your work in place in the new home when it is finished. Thanks for your patience and understanding about delivery time. We saw your work in Winedale many years ago and now we can look at it every day! Thanks.

We are delighted with the table and chairs. The quality and craftsmanship is simply stunning.
It is wonderful ! We are very happy!
R. and M.Austin, Texas
Gary,
I just wanted you to know that my family, friends and I have derived great pleasure and satisfaction from the beauty and fine craftsmanship of the table and chairs that you made for us. Dealing with you was an enjoyable and memorable experience. I proudly refer people who ask about your work to my friend in Texas who made them for me.
S.Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Gary & Company
We can't thank you enough for the fine dining set. It is beautiful and fits the room a lot better than our old set.
I can remember about ten years ago stopping by your place to see your rocking chairs. They were nice looking and comfortable but I have sat in a lot of comfortable rocking chairs, I guess because they adjust to just the right angle by rocking them. What has stuck in my mind all these years is sitting in one of your dining chairs. I think they are one of the most beautiful chairs ever created and absolutely the most comfortable. No matter how we tried to get it out of our minds it kept coming back and we would find ourselves looking at your catalog again or sneaking a peek at your website.
I hope everyone there goes home each day with a great deal of pride in the work they have done. I know we will be enjoying this dining set for the rest of our lives and truly appreciate the talented hands that made it.
Thank you very much,
D. and D.San Angelo, Texas
Gary -— The chairs arrived yesterday. They look and sit great.
Thanks!

Hi Gary,
We love the chairs. They arrived safe and sound and everyone admires them. Solid too which is great with a nine and an eleven year old.
Thanks
J.Montclaire, New Jersey
Gary,
Thanks for the note. The furniture arrived last Thursday. I met Joseph (he is an exceptional employee and speaks well for your company) and we put all the furniture in my house and I've been out of town since Thursday.
I'm pleased with your work and the outcome. I'm glad I happened upon your web site and chose to have you build this furniture.
I need to level my elliptical table (the floor is slightly uneven.) And, I'm missing four of the chair leg pads (the inset holes are there, but the pads are missing.)
I'll send photographs to you in a few days so you can show off your work. You can always use me as a reference Customer.
L.Birmingham, Alabama
Gary,
Your timing is excellent.
They contacted me Monday and delivered yesterday around 5 PM. The dispatch person was very courteous and professional. They gave me a small delivery window, 4–7 PM, and they arrived when they said.
The chairs are in perfect shape.
They are now around our dining room table. They look very nice.
We are very pleased. Thank you for the chairs. And thank you for the trouble-free experience buying them.
All the best to you and your team.
Your happy customer,
M.Redwood City, California
Gary,
A quick note to let you know we got the table and chairs and they are beautiful — the finest craftsmanship I have ever seen and we are delighted. There is much more I'd like to say in appreciation but for now just a big thank you and we'll be in touch.
S.New York, New York
Gary,
We received the table and chairs this morning and they are awesome. The wood looks a lot better than I thought it would. The attention to detail you and your guys did is amazing. I really appreciate what you have done for me. You were a real pleasure to work with.
The whole process to get to the finish project was something I will never forget and you were a big part of it. Most people will look at the table and chairs and think it is some real fine furniture. My daughter will look at it and know how much she means to me, and I will look at it and think of it as an amazing adventure.
Thanks for everything.
R.Conroe, Texas
Hello Gary, Austin and all:
Just wanted to let you know that the beautiful table and chairs just arrived in perfect condition. Here are a few pics to let you know where your work will be living. The light fixture is from Wimberley Glass, by the way. We were purchasing that when we first saw your studio. Our Weeks rocker is out on the patio (a little bright out there, now). We will check with you in the future to add a bar stool. Thanks again.
C. and D.Kerrville, Texas
Everything is beautiful and I'm already enjoying them. Thanks for your wonderful craftsmanship. I know I'll enjoy them for my life time.
M.Houston, Texas
Hi Gary,
We received the table, chairs and corner cabinet this afternoon — they are all beautiful! My wife now wants the buffet to be done . . . and the room repainted!
Cheers,
B.Glenmore, Pennsylvania
Yes, thank you. The table and chairs arrived ok and are very nice. Looking forward to the Cherry Wood darkening which your brochure said it would.
All in all, very happy.
Best Regards,
L.E.Fountain Hills, Arizona
Gary,
It certainly has been a real pleasure working with you as well. We are extremely pleased with our furniture. The figure on the table top is incredible, and the figure detail in the chair seats — wow!. It's only going to get better as the wood ages. These are true pieces of art and we could not be happier. When the set is all together we'll take some great pictures and send them to you.
Many thanks to you and your team!
D.H.Nashua, New Hampshire
Gary,
We received the walnut table and chairs in good condition from CDS, no damage I have seen.
It is beautiful! And it fits the space, just as planned. We look forward to many years of enjoyment, with the family gathering around the masterpiece of workmanship you folks have created.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
S. and M.Boerne, Texas
Gary,
I am remiss in contacting you about the arrival of our furniture. My apologies. With that said, I can assure you that we are tremendously pleased with all the pieces. They are just what we thought they would look like . . . and more!
It has been such a pleasure working with you. Photos will follow soon.
Best regards,
A.Boulder, Colorado
Gary and Team,
Congratulations. A great article about my favorite chairmaker. My rocking chairs (and dining chairs) are some of my prized possessions.
I'd like to THANK YOU one more time.
S.Sante Fe, New Mexico
Hi Gary, I thought you'd like to know that our beautiful chairs arrived this morning. Those delivery guys are real go-getters! They got themselves on the 5:45 AM ferry and were here and unloaded by 7:00. Good thing we're early risers. The chairs are perfect, and I know that they will be enjoyed, not only by us, but by the next generations. It was a real pleasure doing business with you, and to feel the personal connection that will enrich our ownership of the pieces as the years go by. Many thanks.
L. and T.Deer Harbor, Washington
Gary–
I just got home from work. I opened and fell in love with your carefully shipped Williams chair. Thank you. Wow! You and your artist-craftsmen are gifted and create beautiful furniture of impeccable quality.
I will get back with you shortly about returning the sample chair and, most likely, placing an order. I want others in my family to test sit in the chair before I place the order.
Thank you, again.
With regards,
M.Annapolis, Maryland
Hi Gary,
You may remember us; we bought a beautiful dining set and two rockers when we redid our Pocono home several years ago. They continue to look fabulous and just last night I was rocking in the cherry rocker before a beautiful fire and was feeling all was right with the world. Everybody who visits us comments on the beauty and comfort of these pieces.
J.Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Hi Gary,
Our dining chairs arrived recently, and I can't tell you how pleased we are.
They're comfortable and so beautiful, a source of pleasure all the way around. Ever since we completed our family's first-grandbaby-Weeks-rocking-chair program, my husband has longed to own a Weeks chair himself. Now he has six, and couldn't be happier.
Thank you for your craftsmanship.
L. and J.

Hi again Gary — those rocking chairs have been a source of pleasure for the mothers, the fathers, the grandparents, AND the babies. Now that they are getting big, the kids settle in with a book, although they all like sitting with a squishy grownup who will read to them. Those rockers rank up there with education as money well spent.
Thanks again.
L.Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
Hi Gary, just a quick note during my lunch hour about the table delivery. I received it yesterday morning, and my wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary at the table that evening. It arrived intact and perfect, and the delivery was on time and professional. That is a good company.
Thank you also for including felt dots for the chairs; I was almost out. I am especially happy with the hand-made character of the table top, and with the grain matching on the chairs.
From a design perspective, both of us find the arms on the arm chair to be on the high end of comfortable. Perhaps a little more bevel to smooth out the front edge of the armrest would alleviate this.
Thank you for the furniture, and for providing such excellent support,
P. and A.Oakland, California
The furniture arrived on Saturday and it is beautiful — we just love it.
Thanks you,
S.Odessa, Texas
Dear Gary,
Just to let you know the furniture arrived on Friday so we got to see it. It looks lovely.
Thanks,
L.Tallahassee, Florida
Dear Gary,
R. and I want you to know how much we like our new dining room chairs, and how much we appreciate your work. The chairs are so comfortable that we can now enjoy leisurely meals and conversation around the table without having to get up due to soreness from sitting too long. And they are beautiful! The chairs are identical and each one is different. They look and feel the same, but variations in the wood grain give each one an individual character. So in addition to having great seating for us and our guests at dinnertime, we find we have added works of art to our home. The quality of design, craftsmanship, attention to detail and finishing that went into these chairs is apparent whether we are looking at them, sitting in them, or both. We expect they will become family heirlooms and be enjoyed by our successors for generations to come.
Thank you.
R. and J.Wimberley, Texas
Gary, we received them yesterday and took them out of the boxes today. The chairs are beautiful!
Thank you so much,
C.Redding, Connecticut
Hi Gary,
The chairs arrived shortly after we arrived home, and we immediately unpacked them, and we love them! Particularly the rocker is just right and very comfortable. We mailed you a check yesterday so you should receive it soon.
Thank you again for your excellent work and friendly approach to doing business. We will certainly treasure these chairs for many years (and hopefully generations) to come.
Best wishes,
K.Winthrop, Washington
Austin, chairs are awesome and made for some fun on Christmas morning — my wife walked through the dinning rm a few times getting all things wonderful for our little girl then saw them — it was excellent — really appreciate your alls work and ethic — keep it up — would love to come by the shop for a coffee nxt time . . .
J.
PS: our house is my wife's painting show rm and to date one of the comments I always hear is wow who made the rocker . . . so I expect some wow who made the chairs. I will be sure to send u some orders!Atlanta, Georgia
Gary, I just received it and all is beautiful! The delivery people called and kept in contact all day — it was dreadful traffic today in Miami with the VP here and freeways closed — poor guys, they were very careful and communicated with me.
The table is the perfect size for the area and the chairs and the table are pieces of art — however, the rocker beats all!! I love it — thank you for such wonderful and comfortable work.
Take care. And thank you again.
K.Coral Gables, Florida
Thanks! It is beautiful! Already has legos on it!
A.Sante Fe, New Mexico
Hi Gary,
The chairs arrived and we love them. They fit into our small house very well, and we will certainly treasure them for many years to come . . . I hope that we can take a trip to Texas one day, and possibly meet you. We really appreciate your personal service and obvious care in all that you do. Best wishes and thank you again!
