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.

Gary:

My wife and I received our chair and foot stool yesterday and it is far better than what we expected, one of the most comfortable chairs we have ever sat in. I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance and making such a beautiful piece of furniture. We are looking forward to years and years of enjoyment.

Happy holidays.

J. and C.

Gary:

The furniture is beautiful and complements the house in a rather stunning fashion.
R. and I are delighted with its looks and the craftsmanship it represents.
The delivery service was competent and the men courteous. All in all a terrific experience. Rest assured we will be back!

Thanks so much and Happy Holidays.
T. and R.

Gary,

My husband just emailed me that the table arrived in great shape and that it's beautiful. I won't get back to Arkadelphia until just around midnight of Christmas eve/Christmas day; I can't wait to see how the table and chairs look together.

Thanks so much!
T.

Gary,

Every time I walk into the living room and see the new rocking chair, I smile. It's just so beautiful and elegant. And the walnut was well worth waiting for — it looks so deep and rich. Everyone who has seen it admired your extraordinary workmanship. It's also the most comfortable rocking chair I've ever sat in!

My husband hasn't seen his birthday present "in person" yet, but he's sussed out your web site and he thinks the rocker is simply gorgeous! I know he'll be as thrilled as I was when he does see it. I'll let you know.

I suppose it does take a leap of faith to order furniture on line from persons unknown, but clearly my trust was well placed. And you can be sure that when anyone admires our new rocking chair, I will tell him exactly where it comes from!

Please feel free to share my comments with those who work with you and anyone thinking about ordering your beautiful furniture. I expect they'd be as happy as I am with the purchase.

Thank you again and again.
L.

G'day Gary.

You beat me to an email.
I love my new rocking chair — thank you! It's just beautiful and very comfortable. What excellent workmanship. You should be proud.
Thank you again and I hope our paths cross soon.
Happy holidays to you and your family and all the best for the new year.

Cheers.
D.

Gary,

I forgot to email you yesterday. We received the rocker. It is beautiful. There is no damage from the transportation and delivery.

We look forward to many years of rocking our babies to sleep in this rocker.

Thank you,
P.

Gary,

R. is going to send you a picture of the chair in our home — she's in love with it.

I wanted to say something about the shipping. The shipping company, Saia?, was not very professional: they didn't come the day they said they would and then came the next day, in spite of the fact that I had called them and told them we wouldn't be home. Luckily, they came quite late in the day, so we were home, but the driver hadn't used any of the usual mapping resources to find out where our house is and didn't call us for directions until he was on the way. He was driving a huge 18-wheeler and was afraid to come into our lake community and deliver to the house. Luckily, again, a friend with a truck was available to take it from the truck to our house.

[ Unknown to us, our dependable carrier, DBSchenker, handed the chair off to a third party for this rural shipment. We regret the inconvenience. —GW ]

That said, the chair arrived in perfect condition, thanks to your impeccable packing, and it is beautiful and beautifully comfortable.

R. will rave on her own.

E.

Gary,

The rocker arrived yesterday evening and I spent four hours in it. It's just beautiful. The joinery and satin finish on the wood are perfect and your artistry in design and construction as well as your craftsman's attention to detail is like nothing I've ever seen. Please pass on my compliments to everyone on your team that had a hand in this project. It is the finest piece of furniture in the house and will be an heirloom to be passed on to many generations in my family.

Very Sincerely and with my Best Regards,
M.

Hi Gary,

Forgive the delayed response – yes, the rocker is here, and it is indeed fabulous!
I would sit in it all day if I could — truly a beautiful experience to sit in, just delightful. Last night my daughter sat in it all evening, wouldn't get up.
Everyone loves it :-)
I wish I had one in each type of wood, just for delight. I'll work on where we can fit another a little later — I'll be back in touch.
Thanks very much for all you do — exactly what I was looking and hoping for, a rocker that is a delight to every sense, and therapeutic to sit in, with no cushions at all.
You have done a wonderful thing!!

Cheers!!
G.

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.

Hi Gary,

The chair arrived at my mother's house this afternoon. I was there to receive it and I wanted to let you know that everything arrived safely.

I did unpack it to inspect it and give it a try and I have to say that it is everything that I expected. It is beautifully made and extremely comfortable. I almost didn't go back to work just so I could take a nap in it. My mother has an inexpensive mass produced rocker that I did a side by side comparision with just for kicks. There is no comparision.

I am looking forward to many years of enjoyment from this purchase. I know my wife and daughter (and I) will love it. Thank you for all of your help. Give my thanks to your staff as well. They do very, very nice work.

Warm regards,
M.

Yes, we did receive the rocker and we have delivered to the baby shower house, my son unwrapped it and said it is beautiful, although I haven't personally seen it and won't until Sunday.

Thank you so much.
L.

It was delivered Friday and we love it!!!

Thanks. It is beautiful!

N.

Gary

Sorry I have not written sooner. Been busy vacationing and celebrating. The chairs are beautiful and a big hit . . . The design, the wood and woodwork, the comfort . . . and the engravings! My wife loves them! I am a lucky man to have found you!

All the best,
S.

Gary,

I received the rocker this morning. It is beautiful and an amazing piece of work . . . it will be enjoyed and cherished for years and generations to come.

Sincerely,
C.

Hello Gary,

My father purchased one of your rocking chairs for me when I finished my dissertation a few years ago. My husband and I have really enjoyed using the chair and watching the beautiful cherry wood deepen in color as time goes by. Everyone that visits our home loves rocking in the wonderful chair you built.

Thank you,
J.

Hi Mr. Weeks —

Our chair arrived Friday and I wanted to let you know how happy we are with it! It is so beautiful, and definitely our new favorite piece of art/furniture. We are thrilled to finally own one of your chairs. Thanks so much!

Best,
A.

Dear Weeks Family,

A year into owning one of your rocking chairs, we could not be more delighted. It is, far and away, our most prized piece of furniture. The wood has darkened to a beautiful reddish brown, just as you said it would. The inlaid initials are beautiful. Somehow, miraculously, it seems to be the perfect fit for every body that sits in it. And now you've so generously helped us line up a mover to ship it safely across country in our upcoming move. Your customer service and craftsmanship are outstanding.

Thanks so much,
K.

Hey Gary,

I am rocking away as I type this email. This rocker is more beautiful than I could have imagined. The finish is astounding! And it's absolutely just as comfortable as you've promised it would be.

I'm actually an amateur woodworker myself and will be building a crib and dresser for our new arrival. I'd already intended to use maple, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to achieve the glass-like finish of the rocker. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for allowing us to purchase one of your rockers. I trust it will be a valued member our family for many many years to come.

Heh . . . is it bad if the rocker is putting the soon to be daddy to sleep! ;)

N.

Hi.

The chairs arrived today in good condition. We only peeked since we must store them prior to moving into our new home. Thought it best to leave them "packaged". But what we saw looks beautiful.

With a smile on my face,
D.

Hello Weeks Family,

Received our rocker today about 12:00. All is well, arrived without a blemish.

Beautiful, comfortable, unbelievable I finally own one. Thanks to all your employees who built this rocker. I am eternally appreciative and don't be surprised if Mr. orders one for himself after sharing this one with me.

G.

Hello Gary,

The rocking chair arrived in perfect condition. The shipping carton looked fine and the delivery man was helpful and efficient getting the box into the house.

I carefully opened the box and gently eased it on one side so I could draw the chair out. I got the wrapping off and was thrilled by the smell of the wood and the smooth touch. It is so simple, elegant, and yet very substantial. It is so comfortable to sit in! The back support is great. There is just no comparison to any rocker I have ever tried.

My hubby is at work now, so he has not tried it yet, but he is in for a treat!

I have never seen such a beautiful, useful chair in all my life.

N.

Hey Gary, just wanted to let you know that 10 years and counting we're enjoying our wonderful rocker. We now live in Austin in a teeny tiny house with 3 kids and 2 dogs and still manage to find a spot for our beautiful rocking chair. Not a new face comes through our home without asking about it. Peace.

S.

Yes, it came at noon today. It's more beautiful than even the pictures conveyed — more figure than I could see in the photos. Super comfy!

Thanks Gary.
S.

Hi Gary

I just received my chair. It looks BEAUTIFUL!
I'm glad it is home.
You are the "BEST"
We will send you a check for shipping.

Gratefully,
T.

Thank you thank you thank you. What a beautiful mahogany rocking chair. So beautiful I don't think I want it outside on my porch! Exceeded my expectations.

I hope to be able to buy another one in the future.

My best to you . . .
S.

Gary,

It's done. We have made it. The rocker was delivered today and arrived in perfect shape. The freight office was curious, so inquisitive that the driver wanted to unpack to have a look.

I hope the message is spread.

I had to rob the bank to pay € 387. – Tax. So in sum the rocker amounted to € 2300.

The expectations were high. My wife and I were stunned about the beautiful craftsmanship and finish. The touch is almost erogenous. Many thanks to you and your team you introduced by your homepage.

I will report on further experiences in the future.

Thank you so much.

In appreciation
W.

The chair arrived just as we returned home from a ten day trip. Delivery went well, no concerns with the packaging and the chair sits fine. I sometimes walk out of my way just to look at it, pretty from any angle. Fit and finish are flawless.

Thanks
D.

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.

Gary

The rocker arrived today and it is beautiful, we are delighted with it. You can tell the quality of the wood and the workmanship. We will take some pictures over the weekend and send them to you.

Thanks a lot
S. and L.

I wanted to say that we enjoyed visiting with you and really appreciate your taking the time to show us around and to let me see your shop. I'm a tool guy and a big user of shop built jigs and I am really impressed with how you have adapted tools to your production process. But we love your art. You have studied wood properties and how they can best be used practically and efficiently to produce beautiful items that are comfortable and everyday usable. It's in the details, how it looks and feels from any vantage point and we know how much work goes into making that happen. We really look forward to having your rocker in our home.

D. and J.

Gary,

The rocker and stool are home and they are SPLENDID. Your workmanship is excellent and the chair is very attractive and comfortable. I am kind of afraid to leave it outdoors! Thanks so much, and I look forward to getting the table when it is ready.

Thank you.
J.

Hi Gary,

The rocker and stool arrived in perfect condition. They are both beautiful.

A. was born on April 1. She and I enjoy rocking in it each day. I look forward to using it for years to come. Thanks for making such beautiful pieces.

Cheers,
J.

Gary,

I am in Alaska for a couple of weeks so I haven't seen it yet but the chair did arrive and D. says that it is beautiful and sits like a dream. Thank you so much. I can't wait to see it.

Take care,
L.

The rocker and stool arrived in perfect condition — and both are beautiful! C. is out of town, but I can't wait for him to get home and see them. We should be ordering a second rocker soon, and I am looking longingly at other furniture in the catalog you sent.

Thank you,
W.

Hello Gary,

The rocker arrived this morning — it is so beautiful, and comfortable, and fits in perfectly with our existing furniture. Thank you so much. Not only is the rocker everything we hoped for, but working with you has been a real pleasure as well.

Take good care,
M.

with one gorgeous rocker. our shipment arrived to switzerland about a week ago, rocker in perfect condition. i may need a walnut companion for her in due time, but for now, i just wanted to let you know that all is well in nusshof, and thank you again.

best,
K.

Hi Gary,

I just want to second the comments from S. — the chair is amazingly comfortable, beautiful and well made. I think it makes a great guitar chair!

Regards,
B.

Dear Gary,

It arrived safely yesterday. The chair is beautiful and my husband absolutely loves it. He finds it extremely comfortable. Thank you for such an excellent product and for your great customer service!

S.

Good Morning Gary and Leslie,

Our Rocker came yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful, perfectly proportioned and soooo comforting. The driver from DB Schenker was careful when he lowered the crate out of the truck. He even helped to open up the top so I could check inside. Today I enjoyed my early morning cup of coffee gently rocking with our 19 year old cat D. sitting in my lap. B.'s looking forward to his turn . . .

Wishing you both, all your Family and Crew a fine holiday weekend.

Thanks again,
J.

Gary,

Approximately three or so years ago, I received a walnut rocker which you made for me in your shop. I have never gotten around to contacting you and expressing my unwavering delight with this beautiful rocker. It is, of course, optimally comfortable — comfortable for most anyone choosing to sit in it. I have difficulty sitting in the rocker, because I'd rather look at it, being the elegant, gorgeously crafted piece that it is. At any rate, Mr. Weeks, thank you for a wonderful addition to my home. I, along with my children, and grand children thank you.

R.

Garry,

It arrived undamaged yesterday afternoon. As advertised, it is a very sturdily built and nicely finished and quite a beautiful piece of work! It fits my 5'5" torso pretty well. It also fits my wife and daughter whom I had a hard time getting out of it so I could use it. My butt is small and w/o much padding and I find I am sore after spending an hour or so in it. I think I'll need a seat pad . . . do you have suggestions?

R.

Gary,

I just returned from G's house and I must say the rocker is beautiful and sits like a dream. What is amazing about the ergonomics is the chair fits G. – who is 6'-7" as well as L. – who is about 5' tall (Mutt and Jeff). That is truly a well designed chair. The finish is beautiful. I can say that the kids are so excited about their Rocker and for that I say thank you.

All the best . . .
B.H.

Hi Gary,

We are impressed by the beautiful craftsmanship of rocker and stool! My husband and I have enjoyed rocking our baby to sleep. The rocking chair is very comfortable!

Sincerely,
E. and S.

rocker is drop dead gorgeous and in perfect condition. you're to thank in all the ways,

warmest,
k.

Thank you very much. As expected, it is beautiful, looks great in our new nursery, and I expect to do quite a bit of rocking in it very soon.

Best,
L.

Thanks for the follow-up email, Gary. The chair was delivered on Wednesday. They both like it. In fact, yesterday I got an email from my son-in-law who said, simply, "It is gorgeous. Thank you." And, so, thank YOU!

M.

Dear Gary & Austin,

Thank you for the follow up e-mail.

I love my rocker — it is the center piece of my main living room.

Also, wanted to let you know your catalog just arrived — very nice. It is put together beautifully and I will share with family and friends as I travel.

I appreciate your art and craftsmanship — I can not stop admiring my rocker. It is a joy to sit in.

Thanks for everything,
M.

Gary,

I wanted to let you know that we received the chair yesterday and it's spectacular!

The delivery person was professional, patient, and friendly. The chair is beautiful and extremely comfortable. Beth loves it. Thanks so much!

D.

The rocking chair arrived yesterday. As advertised, the chair is beautiful and very comfortable. I can't wait for the weekend when I will have some time to give it more attention.
