Dear Mr. Weeks,
About three or four years ago my uncle from Dallas visited our place in Western Oregon. We had a wonderful reunion and visit. He looked around and said, "What, no rocking chair? You need a good rocking chair someday."
Shortly after his visit you notified me to expect an arrival of a gift and the rocker arrived soon after that, impeccably crafted AND shipped.
My uncle died shortly thereafter and I have this wonderful rocking chair that we just love to have for many reasons. It is just the nicest gift we have ever received and I love to tell visitors who sent it, who made it, and how much it means to us.
I just thought I would pass this along to you, I congratulate you on your craft.
Best wishes sir,
H.Corvallis, Oregon

Sorry I have not written sooner. Been busy vacationing and celebrating. The chairs are beautiful and a big hit . . . The design, the wood and woodwork, the comfort . . . and the engravings! My wife loves them! I am a lucky man to have found you!
All the best,

Hi Gary,
T. and S. are thrilled with the rocker. S. says it is a work of art.
Thank you for taking such special care of everything. S. said W.R. was asleep after two minutes in the rocker.
Thanks again

Dear Weeks Family,
A year into owning one of your rocking chairs, we could not be more delighted. It is, far and away, our most prized piece of furniture. The wood has darkened to a beautiful reddish brown, just as you said it would. The inlaid initials are beautiful. Somehow, miraculously, it seems to be the perfect fit for every body that sits in it. And now you've so generously helped us line up a mover to ship it safely across country in our upcoming move. Your customer service and craftsmanship are outstanding.
Thanks so much,
K.Davis, California

Hey Gary,
I am rocking away as I type this email. This rocker is more beautiful than I could have imagined. The finish is astounding! And it's absolutely just as comfortable as you've promised it would be.
I'm actually an amateur woodworker myself and will be building a crib and dresser for our new arrival. I'd already intended to use maple, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to achieve the glass-like finish of the rocker. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for allowing us to purchase one of your rockers. I trust it will be a valued member our family for many many years to come.
Heh . . . is it bad if the rocker is putting the soon to be daddy to sleep! ;)

Hello Gary,
The rocking chair arrived in perfect condition. The shipping carton looked fine and the delivery man was helpful and efficient getting the box into the house.
I carefully opened the box and gently eased it on one side so I could draw the chair out. I got the wrapping off and was thrilled by the smell of the wood and the smooth touch. It is so simple, elegant, and yet very substantial. It is so comfortable to sit in! The back support is great. There is just no comparison to any rocker I have ever tried.
My hubby is at work now, so he has not tried it yet, but he is in for a treat!
I have never seen such a beautiful, useful chair in all my life.

Thanks for sending the repair kit. And after spending the last 15 years working with wood and appreciating its beauty, you have no idea how much I enjoy your rocker as well as appreciate the craftsmanship.
Take care,

Gary,
It's done. We have made it. The rocker was delivered today and arrived in perfect shape. The freight office was curious, so inquisitive that the driver wanted to unpack to have a look.
I hope the message is spread.
I had to rob the bank to pay € 387. – Tax. So in sum the rocker amounted to € 2300.
The expectations were high. My wife and I were stunned about the beautiful craftsmanship and finish. The touch is almost erogenous. Many thanks to you and your team you introduced by your homepage.
I will report on further experiences in the future.
Thank you so much.
In appreciation

The chair arrived just as we returned home from a ten day trip. Delivery went well, no concerns with the packaging and the chair sits fine. I sometimes walk out of my way just to look at it, pretty from any angle. Fit and finish are flawless.
Thanks
