Gary,

On behalf of C. and myself, this is to inform you that the chair arrived here safe and sound about half an hour ago. It is sitting in our living room to compliment the other one. The package came though very well (without the slightest damage) and the chair is beautiful (a little darker than the one we have though they will age together well).

Thanks for your attention and the workmanship you do.

Sincerely,

Hi Gary,

I can't believe I've been enjoying my rocking chair for 4 yrs, 9 mos. I sit in it more than any other chair in my house (even the new sofa we got after we moved in to our new house). I adore the deep rich color & patina it has developed over the years. And I read in it all the time!

. . . when we have visitors the rocking chair is nearly always the first seat chosen by one of my lucky guests. I'm happy to share, since I know they have to leave eventually.

Dear Gary and family,

Thank you so much for the rocker. We received it today in an unscarred crate and it is beautiful. We're very pleased with it and have no doubt that we'll cherish it for a very, very long time. What a beautiful work of art and what talented, perfected craftmanship.

Thank you,
K.Q., T.W. and L.Q.W.

Gary, I LOVE my rocker!!! I have been on the phone all day inviting people to come over to sit in it.

I was worried that it might not get here in time. I called the delivery people and they said Friday. Then day before yesterday, I was shopping and I got the call. It was at my door. I was at first annoyed because nobody told me about the change, but he waited and was so nice about it . . . and then when I opened that box . . .

No surprise. I knew it would be beautiful. But when I sat in it, it was like it was made for me. I wanted to cancel everything else I had going and just rock.

Thank you for making these terrific chairs, Gary. I've always believed that art should be functional. You prove that the functional can be art.

I might even share with guests. If they're nice.

Thank you. I will cherish it forever and give it to my new grand daughter as a wedding gift.

All the best to you and your talented family.

To the Weeks Family and organization,

I took possession of Rocker #1753 in mid 2007. The rocker was impressive then and has improved over time. The workmanship is beyond enviable. It has survived the repeated assaults of my teenage son and his friends. I feel as though my rocker has adjusted to my body, or maybe vice versa, to the betterment of both. I can honestly say that it is my only material possession that I would grieve the loss of. Its true value far exceeds the purchase price.

Thank you,
S.G.

Dear Gary,

We received the rocker yesterday — in perfect condition. It is absolutely gorgeous! The expert craftsmanship is clear, and the monogramming really makes it special. Thank you!

Now, we can’t wait for our new baby to be born, so that we can put the chair to good use! Thank you again!

Gary:

First, if I were to inform you that the rocker arrived but was a debacle of kindling with really nothing left to return, would you send me a new one with no questions asked? If that be the case, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Disregard the following.

We received the rocker in excellent shape on the 10th of December. I placed it in our living room and four days later my beloved discovered it — finally! That is less a comment on her powers of observation and more of a comment that our lives have been a bit hectic. I now find her sitting in it, rocking, with what I can only describe as a slightly goofy grin on her face. I believe that she likes it.

I must tell you that it is rare in my experience to find excellent artistic ability combined with superb craftsmanship and we couldn't be more pleased with the rocker, in spite of the fact that it was made with firewood. Thank you. It will be an heirloom to be passed on to the next generation.

Happy Holidays. I look forward to hearing from you. And if the first paragraph applies, please disregard the rest of this missive.

Hello Mr Weeks and Company,

I just wanted to let you know that we got the chair and it's beautiful.

My wife hasn't seen your website, but her comments echo what others have already said:

"It's beautiful"
"A work of art"
"Looks like it belongs in a museum"

She especially made me smile when she sat in the chair and said, "It fits me so nice, is this made for short people?"

It felt great to give this to her from the whole family. Thanks for your quick, professional, and beautiful work!

Best Regards,
C.B.
