Got it Friday (before the baby). It is beautiful and as comfortable as you promised and then some, we just love it.

Thank-you!

Gary,

The rocker arrived at our Lynden dock Christmas eve morning, and I picked it up later that morning.

The box it came in was damaged, but the rocker was fine.

The rocker is a work of art, and it is comfortable.

Thank you.

Best,

Gary,

Yes, the rocker arrived. Too bad I had to leave soon thereafter, first to India and then to Bahrain where I am now.

Here is my (revised) vision of Paradise: A Gary rocker, a fireplace, a nice view and perhaps a glass of wine. No other furniture! That rocker of yours certainly dominates space. It is just beautiful. And it is comfortable!

Regards,

The chair arrived Friday about five in the afternoon.

Though I read the dimensions, it is much bigger than I imagined. It arrived in perfect condition. The workmanship and the wood are beautiful. We are testing it out this week.

Thanks for writing. I'll respond again Friday morning.

Gary,

At home, I find myself in the rocking chair reading, watching tv (rare for me), talking on the phone, etc. I can't believe how comfortable the chair is. Comfort definitely takes precedence over size. The chair is definitely a "keeper."

Thank you.

Gary,

I love the looks of my rocking chair . . . I hope someday to be given an opportunity to sit in it. My wife has apparently decided it is intended for her exclusive use. Every visitor has to try it and all rave about the quality of the work, especially the finish. I'll be ordering again soon.

Hi Gary,

It is so nice to finally write you after silently getting to know you via your e-mails to Chris. I often feel it is difficult to get to know someone thorough writing, but we both feel that, through this huge venture, we have gained a friend. Your genuine spirit could be felt with every e-mail written and now that we have your beautiful rocking chair here, we will miss the frequent correspondence we've so looked forward to. Hopefully it doesn't have to end and we can continue writing every so often.

Gary, I knew that your rocking chairs were made with precision, hand-made care, and were beautiful just by reading your well organized website. But when opening the huge box to slide the chair out, my mouth completely dropped. Your work is phenomenal and I was speechless. The design, color, documentation, signature inscription, incredibly, smooth finish, etc. were more than I expected. The tender loving care that you and your company gave to making and shipping this chair was/is felt the minute one goes to touch it, let alone sit in it. I know that this heirloom will be much enjoyed for the years to come by the three of us (we just found out that we are pregnant!). Thank you, Gary, for your superior work. You are certainly an artist and we are lucky to have found you.

Hi Gary,

Now it's C. writing, what can I say that C. didn't already perfectly express? The chair is just gorgeous! We had no problems with the shipping, everything went very smoothly, and the chair arrived in perfect condition, safely and securely crated. It is clearly a work of art and I know it will fit very nicely into our home. What surprised me most was when I touched the chair and first sat in it. The finish is amazing! I did not believe wood could be worked to such a fine finish. And it is also very comfortable! Both C. and I have had only limited time up till now to enjoy it, but every time we sit in it we are surprised at how comfortable it is without having to use any cushions. I noticed in particular that if I sit up straight with my rear against the back of the chair then it gives me a wonderful even support of my entire back that feels very nice. I believe I can easily fall asleep in your rocker!

Thank you Gary! We will keep in touch!

Your Friends,

C. & C.

Gary,

I couldn't thank you enough. She, and everyone that attended the shower, absolutely loved it. I think every woman at the shower had to take her turn sitting in the rocker. It is truly a work of art. Several veteran mothers commented on the design features that must apparently make breastfeeding while rocking a much more comfortable experience — I wouldn't know. Notably, I heard the height of the armrests and the back support as being the most well thought-out design features for the chair. I'm sure some of them will be checking out your website as I had repeated it enough times throughout the party.

I guess I'll be talking to you again in the next few years. We are planning to have another baby and I would like to pass the chair on to each child as an heirloom.

Thanks again for your excellent craftsmanship. It's a rare thing these days.

Gary,

Yes — the chair was delivered on Friday, and all was in order. I gave it to her on Saturday evening, and she was actually surprised — and extremely pleased. It is probably is the best gift I ever gave her. Thanks for your help in making it possible. It is a truly beautiful (not to mention comfortable) piece of work!

Dear Gary,

After speaking with Austin about unpacking (the bottom part of my crate was missing and so were the eight screws and arrows), I welcomed my cherry Weeks Rocker to its new home tonight. It seems not to have minded that bit of crate because it looks perfect! It is as beautiful and comfortable as I hoped and exactly as your other customers have described.

Thank you very much for creating such a lovely piece of furniture. It has been a pleasure speaking with you and I will enjoy your craftsmanship for many, many years.

Yours truly,

M.

Gary,

The rocker arrived yesterday in perfect condition. It is a beautiful piece of work, and very comfortable. I spent an hour or so in it last night which I cannot do in any other chair in the house without shifting around a lot. My back usually gets pretty stiff from sitting in one position too long but it didn't bother me after sitting in the rocker last night.

Thanks for your kind and prompt service and designing such a beautiful and useful chair.
