Category: Rocking Chair - Comfort

April 13, 2012

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.

Hello Gary,

The rocking chair arrived a little while ago. It is very beautiful. It is very comfortable. It will become a treasure for sure and is intended to accompany me to whatever . . .

I recieved my rocker and I love it!!! I have to sit on a firm chair because of my back, and have been sitting on a kitchen chair for a while.

I can't tell you how many chairs I have tried that weren't supportive enough.

It is so wonderful to have a chair that is so comfortable and supportive that I can sit and relax in! It is a beautiful piece of furniture, a work of art.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Hi Gary,

I wanted to let you know that I received my rocker this morning, and I just love it. It is not only a beautiful work of craftsmanship, but a work of art, in my humble opinion. And it is so comfortable.

Regards,

I love my new rocking chair . . . it is beautiful, and arrived in perfect condition. Although I do find it comfortable, I am interested in buying a cushion for it, as I would like a little padding, and would like to sit a little higher. Is there a particular cushion you have found works well and you would recommend for your rocker?

Thank you —
L.

Hello Gary, Leslie, Austin and company,

The attached photo includes twenty-day-old W. and her proud Grandpa resting comfortably in a Gary Weeks & Co. rocker.

W's mom, M. promises to send photos of the rocker in place once they've settled into their new home and have decorated the living room. The figured walnut Otwell table top compliments M's living room and dining room solid wood furniture and trim, as well as your rocker.

Thanks again and take care,

Hi Gary,

The rocker arrived in perfect condition. It is gorgeous, a real work of art. After we unboxed it, we spent a lot of time just looking at it and touching it. Fits me perfectly, no pressure points on my back. It was also interesting for me to see how L. truly "gets it" regarding the chair's design and quality, as she pointed out all the fine details most people would not notice. I believe you have achieved perfection with this rocker, I wouldn't change anything. Except for maybe offering the mesquite for the same price as walnut ;)

Regards,

Hi Gary,

We received the rocker today, and we LOVE it. It's absolutely gorgeous, beautifully made, and super comfortable. We look forward to spending many years rocking in it with our daughter.

Thanks so much!

gary,

I am enjoying the rocker, as it is validates all your claims. I waited out the return period just to be certain a wood chair could possibly provide so much support and comfort. initially, the temptation to keep it just for the beauty of the design entered my mind.

I assume that by virtue of my decision to keep the rocker, I can trash the box.

enjoyed doing business with you. my back thanks you as well.

happy new year,
G.
