Gary,

The chair arrived yesterday. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! And COMFORTABLE!

The delivery guy was very nice and the box was in good condition. The box also came with a beautiful art work on the outside cover. Please thank Bela for us. I enclosed a photo of the art below.

We are very pleased, Thank you.

Gary,

I've had your beautiful furniture for nearly two months now, and it just keeps getting better!

My friends A. and J., Air Force friends for 40 years, who live up front in the Big House, come by most mornings for coffee and a peaceful rock and some entertainment from the birds and squirrels just outside our screened deck. It is glorious!

I dwelled long and hard on this purchase, and checked out a bunch of rocker-makers. None of them were really within my budget, but I couldn't be happier with my little extravagance. I've already forgot about the expense. I'm particularly happy that I wound up choosing your firm. Though your chairs are a little less "swoopy than many of the Maloof Replicas, I usually follow my Mom's dictum, "Simple and Elegant". Your furniture is indeed that, in spades.

Your short video online helped me make up my mind. It is very informative and I could readily see how much thought you have given to development of the rockers. Your easy style, and manner is very charming.

A word on comfort: I try to spend a little time about sunrise out on the deck reading I always am amazed that I never get figgidy or uncomfortable in any way, though sitting on a piece of hard wood! The sculpture of the seat is perfect for my old frame. If I were to change anything, it would be to lower the arms, perhaps an inch, but that's really nit-picking, and may say more about my proportions. Last evening Jim, who had been outside rocking for awhile, said, "Do you ever fall asleep in that chair?" I think one of your beauties will be on the Christmas List for my friends!

I haven't had the time to enjoy the comfort and rocking serenity that I'd like lately. I've been re-building the old bridge you see in the attached photo. It's a pretty big job for this old novice, but I'm enjoying the process. The bridge is front and center in my otherwise lovely view from my rocker, and it will soon be seriously enhanced.

Thank you again for the personal time and communication during my evaluation process and waiting time. It is most appreciated, and rather uncommon these days.

Gary,

The pleasure was ours! You are such an amazing customer advocate, a trait sorely lacking in most businesses today where the push to make profits is paramount. In addition, you build a quality product that really shows the details of your craftsmanship, and the end result is so comfortable!! I am a very happy client! So, thank YOU!!!

Dear Gary,

What a lovely experience. First, the discovery of your website nearly 10 years ago. Obviously your company is more that just a "business". Your philosophy, creativity, and integrity certainly caught my attention. Seeing your rocker was love at first sight. Since that time I have visited your site often and yearned to own one of your rocking chairs.

Well, special events call for treasured gifts. For my 50th birthday my husband surprised me with my dream rocker. I was thrilled! In this day oandage, where it seems like time passes too quickly, emphasis is placed on technology, quality is sacrificed for mass production and revenue, and the individual gets lost in the crowd — it is so refreshing to know that Gary Weeks and Company exists!! You take every day items and make them extraordinary to enhance our lives and bring us joy. Rocking is therapeutic, grounding, nostalgic, and nurturing — the world would be a better place if everyone owned a Gary Weeks Rocking Chair.

The principles of simplicity and honesty are evident in your designs. I appreciate the time and care you and your craftsmen/ women (and children – the precious butterfly drawing on the crate) put into creating each detail. Just sitting in my rocker makes me feel connected to all the wonderful people who put their energy into it. I am deeply touched and grateful to own such a functional work of art. You ARE truthful — "most beautiful, most comfortable", indeed YES! I respect your family and workers for what you do and how you do it. Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives.

Take Care,
C. and B.

Gary,

The rocker arrived on time and in perfect shape. I am rockin' as I write!

We did a lot of research before we decided on "the rocker" that would work. We were looking for something functional and attractive. We spend a lot of time on the Oregon coast in the summers. Over the last 10 years, I have ogled the Myrtle wood rockers that various woodworkers have created on the coast. About a month before we decided on the Weeks rocker, my wife and I made a trip to the Oregon coast with the express purpose of buying a Myrtle wood rocker. We stopped at several shops and I "rocked" several chairs. The chairs varied in price from $2500–$5000 but, they all had one thing in common. They ALL had floating back staves and they all felt strange to rock, as with each rock the staves would flex. It felt weird, almost like the staves were going to break. A rocker should provide comfort while rocking, not anxiety.

I have sciatic problems and the Weeks rocker provides support and comfort to my back. I am also able to spend hours in front of the TV or reading in comfort while rockin'.

I worked for 7 years at a firm that made wood working machinery and I feel that I can recognize quality wood working. The Weeks rocker is an excellent example of superior American Craftsmanship.

I am proud to own a Weeks Rocker.
