Comments from our Patrons

Hi Gary,

Yes, everything arrived in time for the Thanksgiving break. I don't really know what to say except everything is just great. The nicely figured seats on the Rocker and the Harris stool are a special treat. People who have been over to the house and have seen the furniture are just as speechless as I am. I just can't believe how comfortable it is each time I sit in it. Most folks have never seen (and unfortunately most never will see) such well crafted furniture. Luckily for some of us, you have figured out how to make and sell these items at a price that is accessible – a remarkable value for the price. Lastly, I have to comment on the Otwell side table with shelf — I think it is a real beauty and perfectly proportioned. My wife says that "it's just perfect" (it is located on her end of the couch).

Thank you and your team for the fine furniture,
N.

I'm so sorry I didn't get to beat you to the punch with an email . . .
The rocker arrived safe and sound and it's beautiful!!! J. just loves it!
I stopped to see it the other day and it was better than I had hoped.
J.'s wife who is 7 months pregnant found it very comfortable!!
You have been wonderful to work with and we were all so pleased to give our brother a 50th birthday gift he could cherish forever, and use daily!
Take care, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks for the email, Gary. Very much enjoying the chair. Beautiful piece. Lovely where it sits in the most prominent spot in our house and comfortable to boot. Thanks for your very careful and precise work. I enjoy it every time I look at the chair. Haven't gotten that first ding just yet. I know it's coming, but for now it still looks like it just came from the shop.

Nap of the rug sends it North a bit, but that's OK.

The whole event inspired me to get my shop back in order. Spent most of Thanksgiving on that project. Had a great time and rediscovered all that stuff I have. I'm not fully back in business yet, but the shop is functional again. Just to prove it I finished a chair I had been neglecting for literally a couple of years.

Looking forward to coming out and visiting again.

Best,

Gary, this my latest project using curly maple. Hope you like it. The rocker does not compare to the comfort of the chairs you and Austin make.

Hi Gary,

I received the chair yesterday and it gathered lots of spectators at work! We were able to fit it in my hatchback for transit home and it's found a temporary home in the middle of our nursery until I can move a bookshelf out of the way. It is just stunning and rocks like a dream. Our little "Peach" (her name for now) and I had a nice rock and read last night before bed. I enjoyed Bela's artwork on the crate lid also, please let her know. Thank you for your work and care in providing us with such a beautiful chair!

More soon,

Gary,

The rocker arrived when it was supposed to with all well, complete with Wiley Mae's art work which made the box the envy of the neighborhood. I arrived (also all well) slightly later than expected and we finally unpacked the rocker late yesterday. It is both beautiful and comfortable and has gotten a lot of rocking in not very many hours. We love it and it looks fabulous in its new home.

Thank you so much!

Dear Gary and Austin,

I unwrapped the chair first thing this morning and was absolutely stunned! I could not be more pleased with the craftsmanship, the design, and the comfort. The back support is just right, and everyone who has sat in it feels it must have been made for them alone. The wood is beautiful, and you captured the grain perfectly! I thank you both, and hope you will pass along my sincere thanks to everyone who contributed in creating my chair.

I am trained as an engineer and tend to favor function over form, much to the dismay of my daughters (ages 19 and 22), who are both talented artists and take the opposite view. When I first sat in the chair I was reminded of the quote from William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." The Weeks rocker is a sublime combination of aesthetics and function that satisfies both conditions perfectly. I have already promised to buy each a Weeks rocker of their own when they establish their own households in a few years. (So don't go and retire any time soon, please . . .)

I am attaching a photo, and I'm sure you will agree that the rocker has found an absolutely ideal place to be treasured (and shown off!).

Thanks again,

B.

P.S. Please let Bela know how pleased I was to find her beautiful drawing atop the carton this morning. I am sending a thank you to her in the mail on Monday . . .

Ps, we enjoyed the butterfly artwork from Bela.

The rocker arrived yesterday morning and mother M. and baby B. love it. As I have said, it has been such a pleasure for me to give them something made to be beautiful and comfortable by someone I know.

Gary,

Thanks so much for checking in. It did, indeed, arrive today, in perfect condition, while we are still waiting for Miss J. You have been tremendously helpful in working around my due date.

The rocker has the elegant lines and beautiful grain/smoothness I expected. I am delighted with how comfortable it is as well. Like many others in the review section, I fell asleep yesterday afternoon while testing it out.

Sleep, of late, has not been easy to come by, so this was pretty amazing. My significant other has been amused by how excited I've been about the arrival of this chair. This made it all the more gratifying when, after I made him sit down to try it, he didn't budge for almost an hour. He has a bad back, and really enjoyed the fit of the rocker. You have a new convert. He was also extremely impressed with the workmanship and agrees that this is the loveliest piece of furniture we own.

Have a great rest of the summer and I'm sure we'll be back for a matching rocker before too long, perhaps if/when number two is coming along.
