What Makes a Rocking Chair Beautiful?

I'll try making a list that we bring to our design and making:

The messages below are a measure of our success.

Good morning Becca,

The rocking chair has been delivered today.

It's in perfect condition, no damage at all.

I am proud to have it in my living room. The comfort is incredible. I can see that everything has been thought for comfort and aesthetics: the dimensions, the forms, and the impeccable finishes.
The touch of the curves and the contact with the walnut worked with attention and perfection is quite . . . sensual.

Thank you again for the perfect and attentive service from the first contact to the final delivery.

Thank you for this great work quality.

Kind Regards
T.

Received. Unboxed. It rocks! Beautiful and functional.

Super comfy for both me and my wife. Can't wait to rock our newborn boy to sleep when he arrives in November.

S.

We received the rocker and it's beautiful. The person we gave it to is putting it in his library.

G.

Thank you so much for the absolutely beautifully made walnut rocking chair you managed to get here in time to rock our twin grandsons visiting from NY City. I apologize for taking so long to write — lots of house guests and the end of the school year for me.

I have scoliosis and frequent back pain as a result. I can go sit in your rocker, and my posture improves. As long as I am rocking, my pain is considerably less. What a welcome surprise!

S.

Gary,

Got the walnut rocker, and it's beautiful. The mahogany rocker I bought from you years ago was really handsome, real solid, and looks much better now that I completed refinishing it, but I can't imagine a piece of furniture looking better than this walnut rocking chair. Thanks for your obvious care and pride in your craft.

K.

Thanks so much, mother and baby are both doing great. S. G. is really progressing well. I can't wait until they are home from the NICU and I can rock her. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful chair. I am sure we will enjoy it for many years to come.

Sincerely,
C.

Hey, Gary,

We just unboxed the chair and Sarah absolutely loves it, both for how it looks and how comfortable it is!

Love,
A.

Oh Gary,

The chair did arrive. Wanted to contact you. Didn't have your email inf. So glad you writing me. I LOVE the chair!
It is gorgeous!

Thank you so much.
S.

Hi Gary, the rocker arrived today in good condition. Very pleased with the comfort and beauty! I will send a pic in a moment when I figure out how . . .

R.

Hi Gary,

The chair is just beautiful! and just as comfortable as it can be. It is now in front of the window so I can look at the water. I will take a couple of photos later today or tomorrow and send them on to you.

Thank you for your beautiful work.

Best regards,
N.

Hi Gary,

Didn't email as soon as the chair was delivered as we wanted to try it out and report fairly back to you. So far: The chair is more beautiful than any of your pictures. The chair is more comfortable than your description. Both your pics and write up are honest and excellent, just not what one experiences in real life. Thank you so much for taking the time, craftsmanship, and energy needed to create this chair.

S. and E.

Gary,

The rocker does pull you in. It seductively says give me a try. Have a seat. And when you do, you're in no hurry to get up.

Gary — I started life as an architect. So I did the whole design thing through school. My sophomore year we had to design and make furniture. I chose chairs and my prof said I was crazy. Well there were 4 chairs over the course of two semesters. One looked good but killed you when you sat in it. Two were just ok and the fourth was a winner. Chair design is very difficult and having given it a try I know how hard it is. Your rocker is a masterpiece. It seems to be body agnostic, that is, it doesn't matter how tall or wide you are, it is comfortable. Add to that great aesthetics and marvelous craftsmanship and it is a piece that is fought over in an estate settlement.

Before we're done, everyone in the family will be a proud owner of a Gary Weeks rocker.

Enjoy your weekend.
B.

Hi, The rocker arrived this afternoon. Could hardly wait to get home and see it . . . I'm so proud of it, it's beautiful.

Thank you,
B.

Hey Gary,

We got the chairs. They’re beautiful. The shippers did a good job. No problem with that. The joinery is superb. The finish is even better. They’re beautiful.

R.

We received our chair yesterday in perfect condition. It is beautiful and challenging to hide!!!
The driver/delivery man was very nice and helpful.
Thanks for a great experience. I'm so excited to give this to M. in eight days! He better not snoop!

Merry Christmas!
J.

The Rocker and Footstool arrived this morning. They are beautiful!! We will enjoy them very much.

Thanks a lot.
J. and S.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

You are an artist of the highest order. Your chair is a beautiful work of art, comfort, and style. I could not be more pleased were it made of gold . . .

Many, many thanks!
E.

Dear Gary,

Just wanted to thank you so much for the fabulous furniture. The furniture has been much admired by everyone who has seen it and we are so grateful to have these beautiful heirlooms in our lives. The chairs are so comfortable and elegant — I never tire of looking at them.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving . . .

Sincerely A.

p.s. the cats love the table too . . .

Gary,

My rocking chair arrived today and I love it! The design and wood are beautiful but the best thing is how it feels to sit in it! My husband is taller than me and the chair fits him as well.

Thank you for my wonderful chair!

Kind regards,
W.

Hello Gary,

The chairs arrived and have all been unpacked and all are beautiful and come with NO damage.

Thank you,
T. and A.

Dear Gary,

We received our chair last Friday and it’s so beautiful and functional. I’m so excited to have it in the house. It’s currently on carpet, so it doesn’t rock as intensely as it would on tile or wood; for now, that’s the best place in the house for it.

Warm regards,
W.

It's wonderful. It's gorgeous and ridiculously comfortable, we LOVE it!! Thank you.

F.

Hi Gary,

We opened the rocker yesterday. It is gorgeous. As nice as you describe it and better. Ginny is delighted and as she sat and settled in the first time just kept repeating "Oh wow, oh wow". It looks big on her but she is comfortable and that is what counts. Your chair is a work of art and we are proud to have it in our living room. I expect it is a lifetime purchase.

J.

Hi Gary,

I’m just writing to say thank you for the 3 Rockers that arrived safely yesterday. They are the most beautiful Rockers I have ever seen, and look like they have every chance of lasting for several lifetimes. As I had mentioned to you when I ordered the Rockers, they were to be cared for by 3 separate families who have been joined . . . I chose the Rocking chair because it represents the love between a mother and her child.

Please pass on our thanks to all who worked to make them and in particular to your Grandchildren and friends who designed the 3’s, they did a fabulous job and made the chairs extra special.

Many Thanks
I.

Dear Gary,

I am sitting in my beautiful rocker right now. It is so comfortable and the wood feels like satin. I Love It!! May stay on it all day.

I appreciate your personal attention & service and again am so happy with the rocker. It feels really good on my back & I like being able to put my head back zzzzzz

Yours truly,
D.

Gary,

The rocking chair and stool arrived in fine shape, and they are everything I hoped for and more. From the moment I sat down in it, my back said thank you. Its a beautiful piece of furniture which we will treasure and use for a long, long time. Thanks not only for the craftsmanship, but for the wonderfully solicitous service in getting it here.

All the best,
E.

Hello

My rocking chair just arrived. Gorgeous! Feels Wonderful! I am so pleased!
Thank you very much!

J.

Hello Gary, We are sorry we did not get to meet you as well. Austin was great helping us get loaded and on our way. When I finish moving things around in the kitchen and the door pulls go on I will send a photo. The bar stools now bring everything together as our cabinets are cherry as well. We love them! I¹m looking forward to winter by the fire in my rocking chair. You all do beautiful work. Thanks!

C.

Hi Gary,

The chair arrived last night. It is beautiful! And even more comfortable than promised! We are in love with it. The baby is due in just under 6 weeks. As we're setting up the nursery I am so happy to have this piece from our home state at the center.

Main Freight was great, they called when they were on the way and navigated our complicated building complex without complaining. The crate just fit through all of the doors and elevators. (In the photo you can see the crate arrived in great shape, and just fit inside our hall way! NYC apartments really put these things to the test!)

Thank you so much for this chair. We look forward to many rocking years.
Sincerely,
M.

Mr. Weeks and family:

After more than ten years of use, my /our rocking chair #926 is as comfortable, beautiful, and valued as ever. You may not recall, but I am the weirdo for whom you made a draftsman’s table out of maple with a beautiful birds-eye top. It also is as beautiful as ever. A few pen marks but great! I try to keep the top cleared of work so that I can enjoy its beauty. The construction of the drawer, dovetails front and back, draws oohs and ahhs whenever I show it to people. If I were an evangelist, I am not sure how many people I would have converted over the last ten years to your product. But I believe in Gary Weeks!

There can be so many interactions with people that can be depressing. I thought that I would send to you some good news.

Thank you.
M.

Gary,

Yes the rocker arrived . . . its beautiful! We are very happy and telling everyone of the fine craftsmanship.
Maybe we can get you some more sales.

Have a nice day
A.

Gary,

I did receive it. It is a beautifully crafted and comfortable barstool. I will be ordering a few more in the future.

Thanks,
T.

Gary,

We got the rocker two days ago, and I've been meaning to e-mail you, but life keeps interrupting. Anyway, I'm a rocking chair snob, and I can truly say I've never sat in a better chair — rocker or not. It's beautiful. It's comfortable, and it's a true family heirloom. In fact, A. and I have decided that we'll buy Gary Weeks rockers for each kid who makes us grandparents, and then that will ensure there is no big fight over the chair when A. and I go to the Happy Hunting Ground.

Hope all is well with you, and we'll be back in touch.

T. and A.

Dear Gary,

The chair and table have arrived in perfect condition. We just finished unwrapping them (great job on that!) and I am sitting in the chair now. I have to admit, I was still a little anxious about the fit, but it is perfect!
Thank everyone who helped you turn out such a beautiful, restful chair.

Your fan,
N.

It arrived without a scratch. My husband said it was very well packed — there was a hole in the box, but the delivery fellow waited until he had unpacked it, and there was no damage. We both think it is beautiful and very comfortable.

Thanks,
A.

Hi Gary,

We received our rocker and we are more than pleased by its comfort, beauty, and quality craftsmanship. We look forward to rocking the baby soon!

Thank you,
J.

Dear Austin and Gary,

I am so sorry for the belated expression of gratitude. Moving has been a bear, and I whole-heartedly echo my mom's words, but I should have added my own sooner!

The rocking chair and accompanying pieces are truly wonderful. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, and the wood immediately envelops a sitter in softness and warmth. My husband, Brian, and I are gearing up for many changes as we look forward to our first baby's arrival in September, and the rocking chair already offers a sense of comfort in our new world. We will treasure the chair, stool, and table as family heirlooms, and are so grateful to my parents and to you for providing pieces that will be passed down through generations.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Sincerely,
S.

It [a rocker] is beautiful and my wife loves it. A fine anniversary gift

W.

Dear Austin and Gary,

The crate arrived last Wednesday and B. was able to be home for that. Since the crate looked well intact they accepted the delivery but waited for us to arrive to open it.

We are all so thrilled with everything . . . the workmanship is awe-inspiring and the beauty of the wood is truly stunning. It is so comfortable and comforting to sit in the rocker . . . M. and I look forward to putting it to good use whenever we can visit . . . and I know S. and B. will truly enjoy it on a daily basis.

It is a family heirloom that will be appreciated and cherished. I'm not exactly sure how each piece is made (by one person, etc.) but a big THANK YOU to all involved. From the get-go Austin answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process . . . then Gary, as we know, did the same for us through the delivery process. (Austin, we hope you had a great vacation.)

— — — — — —

We are grateful for all your kindness, help, and care.

Sincerely,
C.

Austin et al: The Rocker arrived safely this afternoon. The wrapping job was itself a wonder of wonders. The beautiful Rocker is simply a product of the most artistic minds and hands in the business of woodcarving. It is more beautiful than we imagined it would be. The grain of the wood takes on a surreal flow of curves and colorations, so much more intense than we thought it would be. No one could be more pleased.

Thank you all for your signatures, which makes this Rocker so much more to us than a piece of inanimate furniture. We enjoyed meeting you, and we will never forget your artistry.

Every good wish,
A. and S.

Dear Gary,

I just received my rocker. The shipper was courteous and the crate arrived in perfect condition. I am sitting in my chair writing this email. While a picture is worth a thousand words, neither is adequate to describe the comfort I am experiencing. The arm rests are the perfect placement, my feet rest comfortably on the floor and the finish is soft, smooth and beautiful. I can only imagine one thing that would make this better . . . having one of my granddaughters here with me to share it!

Thank you . . . Sincerely,
S.

Gary & Austin,

I just wanted to let you know the chair got to our house in fine shape this afternoon. It's just beautiful and such a pleasure to rock in, much less look at :-)

I know it will outlive us, but hopefully we'll have at least a few years to enjoy it.

O.&H.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

We would like to tell you that words cannot express how happy we are with the Walnut Rocker you made for us. It is absolutely gorgeous! It arrived exactly on time in perfect condition as you promised. It's amazing how it "fits" both myself and my wife. Know that we have a 12 inch difference in our heights and the rocker is so comfortable for both of us. You certainly have a gift in your woodworking skills, talent, and artistry. My wife rocks in it everyday and it brings her such peace and joy while she meditates there. We've used it to rock our grandson and looking forward to rocking the two new grandbabies coming this summer and fall. We just can't say enough nor thank you enough for this incredible rocking chair!

Gratefully Happy,
D. and D.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that I received the rocker and my wife and I are very pleased. As a fellow woodworker I can appreciate the beautiful joinery besides the fact that the chair is very comfortable. Thanks again.

J.D.

The rocker and table arrived and are truly wonderful. They felt silky coming out of the box. You think you know what it will feel like to sit in the chair but we found it even more comfortable than expected. The rocker proportions command attention as a sort of sculpture but function is the first purpose. The table works as a beautiful little brother.
Charlie has already settled in with his book . . .
Thank you for your dedication to all aspects of your business.

C.

The beautiful chair just arrived, in perfect condition. I look forward to many comfortable rocking hours and will start saving up for one to send to my son in Saudi. Thanks so much.

A.

Hi Austin,

Am finally in NY. Whew, been away too long. The Rocking chair is truly beautiful with fit, function, and finish. Stool is also very nice. I like the table but was wondering if the design of the top is intended to have one end rounded and the other end squared?

B.

Austin,

We received the walnut rocking chair and stool today and everything arrived in good shape. Both are beautiful works of art and the craftsmanship appears A+. Thanks for the effort and we look forward to years of pleasurable use.

Sincerely,
N.

Hey Austin,

We did receive the table and chairs in very good condition. The movers were so careful and mindful of both the delivered items and the walls. They were also very engaging and polite. We absolutely love the pieces. They are flawless and the craftsmanship is amazing. We are still in the process of getting moved and settled but the dining room will be beautiful when finished.

Thanks again for your beautiful work,
M. and T.

Austin,

The chair and stool arrived safely last Friday.

They are absolutely gorgeous! The wood is beautiful and the workmanship top notch.

I think a friend here in Bend will be ordering one soon for herself!

Thank you very much for your great customer service and stunning products. I could not be happier with my experience purchasing from you.
