Category: Rocking Chair - Craftsmanship
September 23, 2014
Dear Gary,
I wanted to put a review on to your site, but this will have to act as a testimonial, because I am really pleased with everything we purchased from you.
I originally bought the rocking chair because I wanted a comfortable chair that had no upholstery, since I had two cats (enough said there). The chair was so comfortable that I purchased the dining room chairs as well. Also very comfortable. The design is a perfect fit to the human body. Now I have grand children and needed a stool to help them step up to the sink and such, but also for me to sit at their level without struggling up and down from the floor. Once again . . . the stool is perfect. Just the right height and sturdy, well balanced, so no tipping when a child stands on it, and very comfortable to sit on and rise from. The price is also half that of a similar piece I was considering from a local furniture maker. I am very pleased.
Regards,,

Gary,
Thank you for reaching out to check on the chair arrival. I have been meaning to email you to tell you that the chair arrived safely. It looks like it survived the shipment just fine. I gave it to my husband and he is referring to it as a "work of art." I think he will really enjoy the time he spends in his new chair. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable and successful "on-line" shopping experience. When I read all of the testimonials on your website, I was sure that we would like the chair. I particularly noticed how wonderfully supportive the back of the chair felt.
Thank you again for making this such an awesome experience.

Dear Austin and Gary,
I am so sorry for the belated expression of gratitude. Moving has been a bear, and I whole-heartedly echo my mom's words, but I should have added my own sooner!
The rocking chair and accompanying pieces are truly wonderful. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, and the wood immediately envelops a sitter in softness and warmth. My husband, Brian, and I are gearing up for many changes as we look forward to our first baby's arrival in September, and the rocking chair already offers a sense of comfort in our new world. We will treasure the chair, stool, and table as family heirlooms, and are so grateful to my parents and to you for providing pieces that will be passed down through generations.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Sincerely,
S.Atlanta, Georgia

I did receive them, Gary. They are beautiful. My wife moved the mahogany out on our porch this morning. I'm sitting in my cherry now.
My friend in California is jealous.
I love the chairs, but I also like supporting good craftsmen and artists. Wish I had room for more.

Dear Austin and Gary,
The crate arrived last Wednesday and B. was able to be home for that. Since the crate looked well intact they accepted the delivery but waited for us to arrive to open it.
We are all so thrilled with everything . . . the workmanship is awe-inspiring and the beauty of the wood is truly stunning. It is so comfortable and comforting to sit in the rocker . . . M. and I look forward to putting it to good use whenever we can visit . . . and I know S. and B. will truly enjoy it on a daily basis.
It is a family heirloom that will be appreciated and cherished. I'm not exactly sure how each piece is made (by one person, etc.) but a big THANK YOU to all involved. From the get-go Austin answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process . . . then Gary, as we know, did the same for us through the delivery process. (Austin, we hope you had a great vacation.)

We are grateful for all your kindness, help, and care.

Hi Gary,
We received the maple rocking chair two days ago. It's very well made, and fits both me (5'2") and my husband (5'8") well. It looks and feels better than we expected.
The entire chair is very smooth to touch. The wood grain is really nice, and the finish has an interesting shimmering 3-D effect. My husband was expecting a really light color, like the mass-produced plain maple furniture. He was pleasantly surprised that your hand-rubbed oil finish has darkened the maple and the result is just the right color for us.
Overall, we are quite happy with your rocking chair. We'd highly recommend you to other people in the future.
Best,
F. & J.Holmdel, New Jersey

Austin,
The rocker arrived safely and was easily unpacked.
I am very happy with it, and wish to thank all of the Gary Weeks & Co. Furnituremakers for their work in helping to craft it. The quality of the workmanship and design is outstanding.
Best regards,

Austin et al: The Rocker arrived safely this afternoon. The wrapping job was itself a wonder of wonders. The beautiful Rocker is simply a product of the most artistic minds and hands in the business of woodcarving. It is more beautiful than we imagined it would be. The grain of the wood takes on a surreal flow of curves and colorations, so much more intense than we thought it would be. No one could be more pleased.
Thank you all for your signatures, which makes this Rocker so much more to us than a piece of inanimate furniture. We enjoyed meeting you, and we will never forget your artistry.
Every good wish,
A. and S.Midlothian, Virginia
