Gary,

The rocker arrived safely on Friday. My wife is very happy with it. We've been looking for a rocker for her for a while, but couldn't find one at the right quality and price. Now we have - and we're very pleased.

Dear Gary,

The rocker arrived safely to my place this morning, delivered by Menlo. It took me quite a while to unwrap the sophisticated crate since my Philips screwdriver is purely manual. Also to get around the crate in a small apartment and to dispose of it was somehow arduous, but now it's done. My first impression: it is as beautiful as I expected looking at the booklet. At first glance I was surprised by its faint color. Then I remembered it would darken with daylight. In your opinion how long should it take, although I am not in a hurry. I admired the complex design of the wood in particular in the seat assembled with several different pieces of wood. I had also a look under the seat. All the surfaces are soft and it's a pleasure to let your fingers run on it. I like the feeling of wood under the hand.

I did not have yet much time to try it, but the first feeling is comfortable, I wanted a chair where you can put your head on. Give me now a few days to use it.

So that's it: I am (for the time being) the only owner of a Weeks Rocker in France! Funny feeling! Some kind of celebrity!

Best regards

Got it Friday (before the baby). It is beautiful and as comfortable as you promised and then some, we just love it.

Thank-you!

Gary,

Yes, the rocker arrived. Too bad I had to leave soon thereafter, first to India and then to Bahrain where I am now.

Here is my (revised) vision of Paradise: A Gary rocker, a fireplace, a nice view and perhaps a glass of wine. No other furniture! That rocker of yours certainly dominates space. It is just beautiful. And it is comfortable!

Gary,

I love the looks of my rocking chair . . . I hope someday to be given an opportunity to sit in it. My wife has apparently decided it is intended for her exclusive use. Every visitor has to try it and all rave about the quality of the work, especially the finish. I'll be ordering again soon.

Gary,

Just got home and unwrapped the bubble wrap. (My wife was kind enough to let me do the unveiling.) Gorgeous was the first word that came to mind. Your workmanship is truly lovely and the one concern I had — the mesquite pattern would be too busy — turned out to be totally unfounded. I am SO GLAD I treated myself to that wood.

Your creation immediately took over the corner next to the fireplace in the bedroom. It sits next to an adobe accent wall under a recessed light that has a dimmer. It is at the moment under a 1/3 power dimmer . . . glowing.

Thank you very much. I intend to get a LOT of pleasure out of your creation and pass it on with delight to whoever the hell lasts longer than I do. I know the chair will :).

Best,

B.S.

Hi Gary,

Love the motion! Love the wood — especially the way it was harvested! . . . Love the chair! And great timing too :-0

Thank you for your help and beautiful workmanship!

Hi Gary,

It is so nice to finally write you after silently getting to know you via your e-mails to Chris. I often feel it is difficult to get to know someone thorough writing, but we both feel that, through this huge venture, we have gained a friend. Your genuine spirit could be felt with every e-mail written and now that we have your beautiful rocking chair here, we will miss the frequent correspondence we've so looked forward to. Hopefully it doesn't have to end and we can continue writing every so often.

Gary, I knew that your rocking chairs were made with precision, hand-made care, and were beautiful just by reading your well organized website. But when opening the huge box to slide the chair out, my mouth completely dropped. Your work is phenomenal and I was speechless. The design, color, documentation, signature inscription, incredibly, smooth finish, etc. were more than I expected. The tender loving care that you and your company gave to making and shipping this chair was/is felt the minute one goes to touch it, let alone sit in it. I know that this heirloom will be much enjoyed for the years to come by the three of us (we just found out that we are pregnant!). Thank you, Gary, for your superior work. You are certainly an artist and we are lucky to have found you.

Hi Gary,

Now it's C. writing, what can I say that C. didn't already perfectly express? The chair is just gorgeous! We had no problems with the shipping, everything went very smoothly, and the chair arrived in perfect condition, safely and securely crated. It is clearly a work of art and I know it will fit very nicely into our home. What surprised me most was when I touched the chair and first sat in it. The finish is amazing! I did not believe wood could be worked to such a fine finish. And it is also very comfortable! Both C. and I have had only limited time up till now to enjoy it, but every time we sit in it we are surprised at how comfortable it is without having to use any cushions. I noticed in particular that if I sit up straight with my rear against the back of the chair then it gives me a wonderful even support of my entire back that feels very nice. I believe I can easily fall asleep in your rocker!

Thank you Gary! We will keep in touch!

Your Friends,

C. & C.
