Gary,

The pleasure was ours! You are such an amazing customer advocate, a trait sorely lacking in most businesses today where the push to make profits is paramount. In addition, you build a quality product that really shows the details of your craftsmanship, and the end result is so comfortable!! I am a very happy client! So, thank YOU!!!

Dear Gary,

What a lovely experience. First, the discovery of your website nearly 10 years ago. Obviously your company is more that just a "business". Your philosophy, creativity, and integrity certainly caught my attention. Seeing your rocker was love at first sight. Since that time I have visited your site often and yearned to own one of your rocking chairs.

Well, special events call for treasured gifts. For my 50th birthday my husband surprised me with my dream rocker. I was thrilled! In this day oandage, where it seems like time passes too quickly, emphasis is placed on technology, quality is sacrificed for mass production and revenue, and the individual gets lost in the crowd — it is so refreshing to know that Gary Weeks and Company exists!! You take every day items and make them extraordinary to enhance our lives and bring us joy. Rocking is therapeutic, grounding, nostalgic, and nurturing — the world would be a better place if everyone owned a Gary Weeks Rocking Chair.

The principles of simplicity and honesty are evident in your designs. I appreciate the time and care you and your craftsmen/ women (and children – the precious butterfly drawing on the crate) put into creating each detail. Just sitting in my rocker makes me feel connected to all the wonderful people who put their energy into it. I am deeply touched and grateful to own such a functional work of art. You ARE truthful — "most beautiful, most comfortable", indeed YES! I respect your family and workers for what you do and how you do it. Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives.

Take Care,
C. and B.

Dear Gary,

The furniture arrived this morning, all in excellent condition!

It's beautiful! It took a while to unpack and I haven't sat in it yet —

I'm just looking over the elegant craftsmanship now, and being thankful that I didn't take on the job myself.

The birdseye is indeed a nice touch. My guests are going to be rocking in pure luxury.

I will send a more comprehensive report after a thorough test drive.

Many thanks to you and your company family. They are fortunate to be associated with you.

All the best,
J.

Gary,

The rocker arrived on time and in perfect shape. I am rockin' as I write!

We did a lot of research before we decided on "the rocker" that would work. We were looking for something functional and attractive. We spend a lot of time on the Oregon coast in the summers. Over the last 10 years, I have ogled the Myrtle wood rockers that various woodworkers have created on the coast. About a month before we decided on the Weeks rocker, my wife and I made a trip to the Oregon coast with the express purpose of buying a Myrtle wood rocker. We stopped at several shops and I "rocked" several chairs. The chairs varied in price from $2500–$5000 but, they all had one thing in common. They ALL had floating back staves and they all felt strange to rock, as with each rock the staves would flex. It felt weird, almost like the staves were going to break. A rocker should provide comfort while rocking, not anxiety.

I have sciatic problems and the Weeks rocker provides support and comfort to my back. I am also able to spend hours in front of the TV or reading in comfort while rockin'.

I worked for 7 years at a firm that made wood working machinery and I feel that I can recognize quality wood working. The Weeks rocker is an excellent example of superior American Craftsmanship.

I am proud to own a Weeks Rocker.

Hi Gary.

Just wanted to let you know that my rocker arrived safe & sound today, and I am enjoying it right now, actually. Makes a nice place to do the laptop.

I like looking at all the details, and how soft the wood feels. You sure designed it nice. The armrests are just in the perfect place.

It truly is beautiful, you & your company did an excellent job! You are everything your website says, that's really refreshing. We will be back!

Thanks again for the wood blanks, that will make for some fun shop-time at the lathe.

Take care,
S.

Wonderful rocker Gary! I spent my life as a potter in Stowe Vermont and I am very critical about hand crafted anything — You are the best I've ever come across and I thank you.

Well, the chair arrived yesterday. It is about as perfect as I could imagine. I rocked for hours yesterday feeling the silkiness of the wood in absolute awe of your magnificent artistry. In fact now my husband wants one and he isn't even a rocker! I am also contemplating getting the Otwell table in cherry and maybe the shorter Berry barstool stool as that might be great for playing my cello. Do you think it would be good for that? I need to sit forward to play. I love the simplicity of the chair. Maybe it comes in mesquite!! Watch out I might become a regular!!

Love, love , love your work!!!!!!!!

Happy that you and yours enjoy mine too . . . talk to you soon.

best,

Hi Gary,

I wanted to let you know that I received my rocker this morning, and I just love it. It is not only a beautiful work of craftsmanship, but a work of art, in my humble opinion. And it is so comfortable.

A truck showed up at sunset. No damage.

The rocker and stool are works of art. Comfort is superb. Placement of wood grain is like the grain was painted on. We could not be happier. D. was speechless when she saw it (tears). I feel like a guy who just caught a 10 pound trout. Thank you all . . .

Your bold confidence is now modesty in comparison to your rocker. Well done.

Greatest appreciation,
G.

Hi Gary,

The rocker arrived in perfect condition. It is gorgeous, a real work of art. After we unboxed it, we spent a lot of time just looking at it and touching it. Fits me perfectly, no pressure points on my back. It was also interesting for me to see how L. truly "gets it" regarding the chair's design and quality, as she pointed out all the fine details most people would not notice. I believe you have achieved perfection with this rocker, I wouldn't change anything. Except for maybe offering the mesquite for the same price as walnut ;)
