The rocker arrived and is just what I expected — fine craftsmanship, comfortable. Thank you.

Dear Gary,

I received the rocker yesterday in perfect condition. Your record is unscathed. I unpacked it and placed it in the living room. My wife described it as a perfect work of art. I think its the most comfortable chair in the house. My 3 month old twin boys agree.

Yours truly,

Gary,

I gotta tell you, yours is a unique business. I run a company that receives shipments in excess of $300,000/year – I have NEVER had a vendor track a shipment like you, even when that shipment was worth over $50,000. I'm always the one trying to chase stuff down. I can only assume this is indicative of the quality of work you do everywhere.

Thank you.

Gary,

R. called the carrier on Tuesday morning. They said they'd give her number to the driver who would call and arrange for delivery.

He didn't call.

It didn't matter, she was home. The chair came in yesterday.

There was very minor damage to the crate, but the chair is fine.

The chair is better than fine, it's beautiful. I took lots of pictures of R. opening the crate, removing the bubble wrap, and sitting in it right there in the garage before we could even get it in the house! It was like a neighborhood event with multiple neighbors stopping by. I took more pictures of her and the chair in the new nursery. I can't wait to take pictures of her rocking our first, little F., due in 4 weeks. If you're dying to see your chair in action, let me know and I'll email you some.

We are very pleased with our purchase. I had no idea the chair would be as solid as it is; the seat, the arms, the legs, everything is nice and thick. We planned for this chair to be in our family for generations, and that will obviously be no problem. We've been working on the nursery for a while, but last night R. called me in, and with tears in her eyes told me that the room now feels like the baby's room.

R's already talking about how she needs the footstool; we'll have to check the budget.

Feel free to use us as a satisfied customer reference. R. said "This is not only the most comfortable rocking chair I have ever sat in, but one of the most comfortable chairs period."

Gary, your work is outstanding and we appreciate it.

Gary,

Thanks for checking up on your progeny. I cheerfully accept responsibility for care and feeding from now on.

I have rocked a while (in secret) and am happy to report that this chair is a fine example of quality craftsmanship and beautiful material.

My wife will not know its comfort until her birthday on September 2 and the little girl who's on the way; she should be in the chair sometime around the end of November. I'll send along a note once we are all able to enjoy the chair.

This whole exchange has been a pleasure. Thanks to you and everyone who had a hand in making this happen. Please share this note with your people.

Dear Gary,

P. just brought me home from the hospital today with our son B. The chair did, indeed, arrive before the stork! It is so very beautiful, and I am looking forward to nursing B. in it tonight during his first night home. There are very few places I can feel comfortable sitting at the moment, and I have tested the rocking chair already and found that it is one of the few! Thank you so much for your efforts to get it here quickly!

B. is a beautiful baby, and we're so happy and thankful he's finally here. He's very well deserving years and years of nursing and nurturing from his Mom and Dad in his beautiful rocker.

Thank you again for everything.

All the best,
M.O.

Good morning, Gary -

Since we live in the northern reaches of Durham County, NC, we're usually last on the list with big deliveries, and this was the case with our rocker yesterday. Saying it was worth the wait would be an understatement. When we uncrated the chair, it was still warm from being in the truck. Sitting in it reminded us of being enveloped in a fresh loaf of homemade bread just popping out of the oven. Everyone who has sat in the rocker so far has had the same reaction: a long sigh, a smile and closed eyes. A visceral experience! Please extend our sincere thanks to your crew of craftspeople who put so much time and talent into our chair. It is simply gorgeous. We look forward to years of enjoyment. I'll add just two more words to properly describe the Weeks Rocker: functional sculpture.

Thanks again and best regards,
J. and J.Y. and family

Gary:

Thanks for your inquiry. The rocker arrived in fine shape last week. It was crated so well, even the truck driver commented: "Gee, I guess that's not the kind of rocker you buy at the Old Country Store." So true.

D. and M. were beside themselves over the quality of the construction and comfort of the rocker. I have to admit I was skeptical until I went over to try out the chair myself. I didn't want to get up out of it! Your rockers are amazing. Thanks again.

The rocker arrived in perfect shape. Thank you so much, Gary. Last night I had to tear myself away from the rocker to go to bed!

Gary,

We finally decided to keep the chair, it's just too beautiful and comfortable to return. The chair is so close to what we have been looking for in a rocker that it would be foolish to make the width of the chair too much of an issue. Our daughter really loves rocking with us, she laughs and giggles and it's wonderful to see how much she, too, enjoys the rocker. Is it possible that the wood has started changing colors? It seems to me that the wood is already richer and darker than when the chair first arrived even though it seems kind of quick to me.

Thanks again for your help and comments; the chair will be a great memory for us, especially when we will return to Europe someday. We love things that are built to last and not to toss and it's wonderful to see that this kind of work you provide still exists!

Thank you!

The wife is rocking. Chair arrived in great shape. Wife is really happy with the chair. Glad we decided to ship a little early. She was stressing a bit about not having a rocking chair.

Once she has been able to use it more, she'll likely have more feedback. The couple times I have sat in it, I have been impressed with how well it fits the body. It is pretty safe to say that she is very happy with the chair.

Thanks for all your help and efforts.

Mr. Weeks,

You have apparently been working with my husband for some time now. My new rocking chair was delivered yesterday and John presented it to me for my birthday. It is beautiful and tremendously comfortable. I know I will enjoy this rocker for a long time. It really completes our baby's new room nicely.

Thank-you,
A.P.
