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,

Many thanks for your email. Let me start by quoting my 12 year old son, who said about 2 days after the chair arrived, "you know Dad, this is the first time in my life that I have ever looked at a piece of furniture and thought it was truly beautiful."
The chair arrived in perfect condition and is, as my son noted, truly beautiful. I have been sitting in it every chance I get (often to the consternation of my family members who would like me to do some other things around the house). I typically am quite methodical about making purchases, but this was an extreme example. I contemplated ordering a rocking chair from you for about ten years. I'm sorry I waited so long, but I'm also at a point when I can truly appreciate the effort that went into making it. I like it more every time I sit in it.
You make a remarkable finished product, of which you should be very proud.
Best regards,

Gary,
Yes, I'm rocking in it right now and marveling at its comfort. Actually, we're fighting over it. Good job: craftsmanship, finish, design, service. Thanks.

Gary,
Thank you so much! We love the beautiful chair and stool, and look forward to all our future years of happy rocking. They are so comfortable, good to touch, and elegant from every angle! We will treasure them. Your website is fantastic and gives a very true impression of the quality of your work, but the furniture itself really is more than we could have hoped for.Providence, Rhode Island

Hi We received our chair today. I came home early today to be there for the delivery. The chair arrived in perfect shape and it is now "installed" in a place of honor in our living room. I was privileged to have the first session of sitting and rocking. The chair is so comfortable and fits me like it was custom designed just for me. The only chair I have ever sat in that is comparable was a Sam Maloof rocker at a Smithsonian exhibit a few years ago that was set up so visitors could sit in it. The workmanship is lovely, each joint perfect and the overall look and feel perfection. Thanks so much. I am looking forward to seeing how my wife M. likes sitting in the rocker. I hope she doesn't like it too much or we will have to order a second one!.

Then later . . .
My wife M. loves the chair and thinks it is beautiful. You have heard it before I am sure but it is such a pleasure to buy something where you can talk to the "manufacturer". I am sure it is hard work but it must be fun to make something of beauty and practical value with your own hands. I am an aspiring woodworker and have made a few pieces so I appreciate how hard it is.
thanks again,

Gary —
The furniture was delivered yesterday at 4:00. The delivery men took care of unwrapping and setting up the table and chairs. Your work is museum quality. Each piece is a work of art that I will cherish and proudly pass on to my children. And, as advertised, the chairs are unbelievably comfortable.
Thank you,
