Mr. Weeks--I am so grateful for finding out about you, your family, and your collective passion and devotion to craftsmanship in rocking chairs. It is really quite extraordinary to find that such a "niche" product hand-made in a small town in Texas can affect the lives and well-being of people all around the world! …

I don't have to write that I love the chair (I'm 6'2' and 250 pounds (of mostly muscle!) because I knew I would love it just from reading about the time and effort you and staff put into each one. But I was a little surprised to see the unanimous acclaim the chair received by everyone who has sat in it so far. Even my five year old granddaughter said it fit her perfectly! (I promised it to her, in the fullness of time.)

I assure you that this chair will remain in my family forever. And I will forever sing the praises of Weeks and Company to everyone who will say "Wow...Where did you get this rocking chair?"

... Sincerely, C.K.

Dear Gary,
…It was so wonderful seeing your shop…
Every piece you lovingly create has touched the earth in a profound way. The wood has been caressed by the wind, washed with the rain, traveled on by insects, supported nests, sung to by birds and crickets and smiled on by God. It traveled a lifetime to be enjoyed by you to become a part of countless memories in people’s homes. Parents rocking their newborns, seniors reminiscing their life while rocking and families gathered together at mealtime sharing life.
WOW! I truly love what you do!God bless you, your family and your business.

Hi Autumn/All:
We received the side table today. The order is complete and in good condition.
It's very functional but it's also art. The rocker set "makes" our guest room. The workmanship is incredible. We'll enjoy them, I guess forever.
I'll send folks your way as they see it.
Regards,
A…

Dear “All who make this possible”
We just received our second shipment of dining room chairs, the first shipment being about a year ago. They are wonderful, along with the maple rocker we purchased last year.
My thanks and appreciation are directed at all involved in making such consistently beautiful creations. I speak as a retired farmer who knows the challenges of running a business as well as a beginning woodworker who know the challenges making something that I a proud to have in my house that has no screws holding it together!
Here is a list of my thanks, please let all the ones who had a part in the process know of my love for the excellence of their work.
Design beauty, flowing lines strength functionality
Wood storage all the difficulty involved
Wood selection and cutting for best appearance
The Shop, machines buildings maintained, and safety dust control
Consistency in parts matching
Skills at band saw, courage at table saw
Joinery amazing shoulder and dowel work
Gluing never a crack
Finish sanding and coats of finish, spotless
Care in handling, a ding at the end ruins a lot of work, as I know!
Culture of excellence requires skilled management and dedicated employees
Family continuity a tribute to family dynamics
Packaging
Great office correspondence
I feel love in your work.
I know I have missed someone, I apologize for that.
How we do what we do really does matter.
Yours,
L. B.

Just received and unboxed the rocking chair - it is beautiful! Every time we open one of your rockers, I am again amazed at the constant quality!

Thank you so very much! We are excited to gift it to our daughter.

Greetings to all…

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the chair so carefully made for M. It arrived this morning and it was met with smiling faces and excitement. They loved the plague on the bottom with the family history and were so excited to see the amazing quality of the workmanship…plus…they love the mahogany.
...
As with each of the prior two rockers…absolutely perfect and again many thanks for the artisans hands and care.

All the best

Gary,

We are so glad to hear from you.

J. delivered their first baby on the 19th of December. Your Weeks rockers are the most beautiful and comfortable rockers anywhere! One of the best touches we have had is to meet the gal who actually made the rocking chair and delivered the chair! Autumn delivered the chair on the way to her Thanksgiving holiday with family. I was surprised at how young she is and how accomplished she is in woodworking. She delivered a top quality rocker...

You have grown the business so much, I practically don't recognize you. Ken and I bought our rocker several years earlier when your website was a little older and a lot fuzzier in appearance. The website is so professional compared to back then. I first found you by searching the web for rocking chairs that fit both short and tall people. Our family has people from 5 feet to 6'3”...

I love the Weeks rocking chair and frequently have people sit in it just for the experience, because it is such a lovely experience. The balance of the rocker makes for a soothing rock instead of a store bought clunky rock that requires more force to keep it going and "jumps" halfway through the rock because it isn't balanced properly. (think the white porch rockers that are sold everywhere or the more expensive rockers in a furniture store--there is simply no comparison)

Again, your craftsmanship is superb!
Merry Christmas to your family and family of Gary Weeks & Company!
Blessings,C.

Gary and Autumn,

I received the Weeks Rocking Chair and footstool this afternoon. No damage was found. The rocker is fantastic! Well made, beautiful wood, fits my body like a glove. When I was in college and medical school I always used a rocker for reading/studying... Now that I am retired..., I have been looking for a great rocking chair and believe that I have found it.

Thanks again.

Dear Gary,

Congratulations on your 30th anniversary! I have had my Weeks Rocker now for 23 years and it is still rocking away in great shape. I love this rocker and I have experienced many ups and downs in this chair, and now that I am retired I spend many happy days and evenings listening to music in my Weeks masterpiece. I cherish it and want to thank for your creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment to quality.
