From the first moment I sat in a Gary Weeks rocking chair, I knew I wanted one. I'd never sat in a solid wooden rocker that felt so comfortable, rocked so smoothly and gave me such a sense of being held so safely!  It was even more astonishing that people of different heights and body builds said the same thing: "this chair FITS me"!  I ran into members of the Weeks family business at various regional shows through the years, so I kept being reminded of how much I wanted one. I'm embarrassed to say how many years I waited to follow through on this promise to myself, but this year for Christmas I finally bought one! I am so very happy to have this beautiful, comfortable, and superbly-crafted hand-made furniture gracing my home at last.

As an added bonus, I live close enough to Wimberley that I was able to pick up my new chair in person. I am so glad I did!  I got to meet Gary and one of his sons, and tour the woodworking shop.  As a fellow woodworker, I am in awe of the shop - from the custom jigs, the workflow layout, the dust collection slides and gates - just all of it. But the best part was listening to Gary tell about the evolution of the tools and the process. It was a real treat for me that just adds to my appreciation of the actual chair. I know not every buyer is able to have this kind of bonus experience, but if you are in the area, call ahead and ask if a tour is possible.  Even if you're not a woodworker, if you like seeing how things are made, a shop tour is well worth the time and effort. 

Now, if only we could get airlines to use Gary's comfortable seat design….

You folks down there in Texas make good stuff. I’ll be plugging your chairs to anybody that’ll listen. I’m not all that influential though, so I wouldn’t expect much of a surge in business (not that you need it 😊). Keep on Rocking!

Two beautiful rockers arrived on our porch in perfect condition this afternoon.  We are blown away!  The craftsmanship and wood are fantastic, and the engravings came out great.  It will be hard to part with them on Christmas day.
Thanks again for all the great work to you and all your colleagues at Weeks and Co.

Austin,

I have not a shred of doubt that your furniture will stay with us for life and will serve us just as the rocker has for the past 13 years (by the way, it looks better with time). And the way we got here, you and us, was a rewarding experience. It is not just a table and four chairs one can buy somewhere off the shelf; it’s a member of the household now.

On a lighter note, thanks for the circles around the screws on the crating. They made the unpacking much easier. And it is a pity that you could not see those who passed by when I was undoing the crating: obviously, I had to do it in the street as there was no way of carrying the wooden box up a flight of stairs that separates the street from our door. Nobody asked the question but I could unmistakably read it in their faces: what on earth can possibly be inside?

Sure, do use any of my quotations although your furniture needs no advertising.

Austin, it was a real pleasure. Please do extend my regards to your father and our thanks to everyone who worked on those items.

Best wishes

The Weeks Rocker is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever owned—even surpassing my Eames Lounge. Its sculpted wood design provides real lumbar support and perfect ergonomics that gently pull you into proper posture. Unlike cushioned chairs that let you sink and slouch, the firmness and contour of the rocker allow my muscles to fully relax, much like a well-designed firm mattress. I’ve sat in it for hours and stood up feeling refreshed. Truly outstanding craftsmanship—I’ll be back for another.

Hi Gary,

We truly love the chair- it’s perfect and the wife has already ditched me on the couch for the rocker. Hopefully our cabin will be finished in a year’s time and we can move it there or maybe just buy another one from you!…Thank you again! We really appreciate the expertise and care it takes to create these wonderful chairs. 

Best,

Hi Gary

The rocker arrived in great shape, it’s absolutely perfect. The craftsmanship is outstanding. I’m so glad that I selected the American Walnut but I’m sure in any wood it would have been beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Hi, Gary and all,

My wife totally and completely LOVES your rocker! It's incredibly beautiful and comfortable to sit in. She's maybe happier than expected because the real thing is so well crafted and attractive in person. You all do wonderful work in making rockers that are works of art and very functional. Our small poodle loves it, too. Every time she or I sit in the Weeks Rocker, he comes running to sit on our lap, and rock away.

Thank you!!!
best,
J.

I received the rocking chair and barstools and all I can say is WOW! Just amazing workmanship--so much so that the table I had intended to use for the barstools just isn't cutting it! Would you be able to make a 48' Johnson Pedestal Table w/o Apron in walnut, counter height (36")? I'd be much obliged! Gratefully,L...
