Category: Rocking Chair - Craftsmanship

Austin,

I got the rocker yesterday and am thoroughly pleased with its workmanship, design and comfort. The cherry wood is lovely, and the rocker moves with minimum effort and great bum and back support. It's also pleasing to the eye- — form follows function in a striking piece of furniture. Thanks for a product that actually is what is claimed.

I'm not so happy with the extra charges newly applied to import duties here, but that's not your issue. Australia is a wealthy country and we are so partly because most of us are paid a very decent wage. It's reasonable to pay fairly for custom processing, but being human means I get to complain!

Thank you for persevering through the transactions.

Much appreciated,
J.

Gary and Austin,

The chair arrived this morning . . . right on time and in perfect condition . . . and we love it!! Thank you so much. I can tell all the love and attention you and your craftsmen put into building it. When our construction is complete and it is placed in our new space I'll send you pictures.

It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Austin,

thanks so much . . . We received the chair right on schedule.
I was called back east for some emergency end-of-the-year project closeout, and ended up without phone or internet due to an ice storm, so my apologies on the delay in getting back to you to compliment you on this fabulous work of art. It will be a treasured part of my family for generations.

All the best, and thank you again . . . I'll send a picture of it in action when the little one arrives.

Sincerely,
A.

Hi Austin:

Just wanted to let you know: the chairs arrived a couple days ago, and they're beautiful.

We love the rich and varied detail in the wood, and the workmanship is perfect.

Thank you so much — and hope you and your family and business have a fantastic 2014!

With apologies for the delay in this response (we were on vacation) — my son and wife did receive the rocker and absolutely love and cherish it. I will see it in March as they are in Maine and we are in Portland, OR. Thanks for your craftsmanship, your excellent people skills both in phone conversations and in keeping me informed via e-mails of the status of the rocker.

Most sincerely,

Mr. Weeks and company,

The chair arrived this afternoon. Simply stunned. The craftsmanship is superb. It's so quiet when I rock, I just wasn't expecting what I unwrapped. It looks beautiful, it feels great, and I'm glad I bought from you guys. I will definitely be coming back for a side table and foot rest.

Very Respectfully,

Morning Y'all,

The cherry arm chair arrived today. Packaging was in good shape, chair undamaged. As mentioned earlier, I've been bitten by the woodworking bug which has only added to my appreciation of your craftsmanship. Attention to detail, precise joinery, design and fit are all outstanding. I did notice a change in the legs. Appears a recess has been introduced to the leg bottoms to better accommodate the felt pads. Genius. Looks like a forstner will do the job but if unable to figure it out, I'll be sending my other two down for a retrofit.

I am very pleased with my chair. Thank you for your continued craftsmanship.

Hi Gary,

I was just about to email you. We wanted to let you know that we did receive the chair a couple of days ago in excellent condition and that we truly love it! Workmanship is outstanding and the chair is truly comfortable. I am 8.5 months pregnant, so I know what comfortable means.
Look forward to using the chair with our new baby and our 4 year old as well.
Thank you so very much for continuing to make these beautiful pieces of furniture.

Our best regards,
M.

Morning Mr. Weeks,

Your opinion of "getting things right" is the standard the rest of us work towards. Having started furniture making within the past year, I have a new appreciation for your design and execution.
