Hi Gary,

I was in SC for Thanksgiving and got to see the rocker in person. It is perfect and I couldn't be happier with it. Thank you and your artisans for such fine craftsmanship.

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first child in May and I know the wee one will spend many hours being rocked to sleep in the cherry rocker.

I hope to make it to your shop in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again and I hope your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving,
B.T.

Gary,

I couldn't thank you enough. She, and everyone that attended the shower, absolutely loved it. I think every woman at the shower had to take her turn sitting in the rocker. It is truly a work of art. Several veteran mothers commented on the design features that must apparently make breastfeeding while rocking a much more comfortable experience — I wouldn't know. Notably, I heard the height of the armrests and the back support as being the most well thought-out design features for the chair. I'm sure some of them will be checking out your website as I had repeated it enough times throughout the party.

I guess I'll be talking to you again in the next few years. We are planning to have another baby and I would like to pass the chair on to each child as an heirloom.

Thanks again for your excellent craftsmanship. It's a rare thing these days.

Gary,

Yes — the chair was delivered on Friday, and all was in order. I gave it to her on Saturday evening, and she was actually surprised — and extremely pleased. It is probably is the best gift I ever gave her. Thanks for your help in making it possible. It is a truly beautiful (not to mention comfortable) piece of work!

Hi Gary,

The party and rocking chair was a big success. R. was surprised and very touched and all present were awed by the beauty of the chair, taking turns sitting in it or just touching it. It really is a work of art. Sunday it was all R's . . . he watched football, read the paper, and just smiled. So thanks for your very special part in R's 50th birthday. You feel like family and perhaps we will meet someday.

Warmly,

Gary —

"Like" is an absolute understatement. We love the rocker and stool! While H. and I were confident that the furniture would be all that we hoped for, we were somewhat apprehensive since neither one of us had ever made such an investment on something we could not actually see or touch. So when the rocker and stool arrived last week, I was so nervous with excitement and anticipation. Needless to say, when I pulled the rocker out of the box and nervously pulled away the bubble wrap out came the most beautiful furniture I have ever seen. Your craftsmanship is unrivaled. The cherry wood is perfect.

Although I could barely resist, I put the rocker and stool in our living room and waited for H. to come home that evening so she could be the first to sit in the chair. When she did, tears of joy appeared on her smiling face. Like her grandmothers before, H. has always loved rocking chairs and now she has her very own.

Since this was an anniversary gift to H. — our first — I have set the bar at a level, thanks to you, I may not be able to maintain. I will certainly try though.

Thanks again for the wonderful rocker and stool as well as your excellent customer service.

We will be back!

Gary,

Arrive it did, midst heraldry and fanfare, trumpets blasting, poets singing (truly) and a hurricane as midwife. The rocker is truly magnificent, easily surpassing my expectations, which were substantial. The birthday boy loved it, as did his wife, on all levels. Further, it is easy to see that they will love it more with each passing day. It reflects truly Smithsonian grade workmanship. Cannot thank you and the crew enough, not only for the rocker but for the entire purchasing experience. So few things defy Murphy's law these days.

Can you send J.W. a copy of the guarantee? He's a lawyer and will be impressed.

Thanks for everything. I have the feeling we'll be in touch again in the future.

Gary,

Thanks to your efforts, I took delivery of your gorgeous chair today at 11:30. My wife was thrilled. I will send a picture of her enjoying it with baby E. when I can.

Thank you once again. I found dealing with you to be refreshing. Your service was polite, timely and accommodating. I only look forward to discovering for myself how comfortable the chair is.

Gary,

My name is K. (A.M.’s wife) I live in Vancouver, Canada. I am a new mum and my husband surprised me with the gift of a Weeks Rocking Chair on July 4th. He said you took great pains to make sure we got the chair as soon as possible. I wanted to let you know that it is the most comfy chair that I have ever sat in. Our baby E. loves to be rocked in it — it seems to sooth her as soon as I begin rocking. I just wanted to say thank you for designing such a beautiful and comfortable piece of furniture.

Sincerely,

K.M.

Dear Gary,

My husband, D., surprised me for my birthday (6/21), with one of your maple rockers. This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen (of course, besides my daughter, D.)! It is the most comfortable chair in our home. I move it from my daughter's room to our family room, on a regular basis so that visitors get a good look at it. Thank you for making such a beautiful, functioning piece of art.

Sincerely,
K.B.
