Gary Weeks Team,

Wanted to assure you that the rocker arrived in perfect condition and the freight delivery driver was exceedingly nice and helpful getting it out of the box.

What a beautiful rocker. We knew you were the one to build it when we discovered your furniture. Thanks for the family heirloom our little girl and entire family will cherish. As a dad to be I have already been practicing my rocking technique! Very comfortable!

Thanks again on behalf of my mother and my wife and me. Best to you and your family and the entire team at Gary Weeks!

Gary —

Thanks for the follow up and the message. I figured the shipping thing was just some confusion so absolutely no problem at all.

Tiffany was home today and received the chair and said it is absolutely stunning and incredibly comfortable. I am at work, but excited to get home and try it out. From the pictures she sent me, it looks exquisite.

Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful chair. It will be in our family for generations to come.

It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you in Santa Fe. You have a wonderful loving family and I believe that comes out in the furniture you create.

Thanks again for helping us create a caring and comfortable world for our daughter to be a part of.

Gary, Becca, and Staff,

I received my cherry rocker today and, like the previous one I ordered several years ago, it is exquisite! It truly is perfect in every detail.
Your chairs are one of the few things in life that are crafted to be handed down to generations, as this one will. I have gifted my older chair to my best friend and life partner who, I'm sure, will pass it down to her beautiful family.

I have a very small condominium and when guests visit, they invariably gravitate to your chair. Everyone remarks how beautiful it is and simply can't believe a wooden rocker can be so comfortable. Honestly, your chair should be displayed in the Smithsonian!!

I'm so glad I decided to have you dowel and spline the chair in maple. A small thing to some, perhaps, but it seems to add an even greater artisan touch to your rocker. As the cherry darkens with age, those details will become even more beautiful.

Thank you again for crafting a piece of artisan furniture that comforts the body and speaks to the soul. Those who own one of your rockers will resonate with that statement.

Warmest Regards
J.

Gary your work is remarkable and I feel good about buying a piece of functional art that can be passed on to my child. Thank you for what you do!

Hi Gary and All,

Just wanted to let you know everything arrived today in perfect condition. The table and chairs are beautiful, in their place, ready for us to use and enjoy them for many years to come. The rocker is so comfortable and gorgeous. It supports the whole body perfectly. And the Otwell tables are great. Light, easy to move around and elegant without fuss. We are thrilled with every piece you made for us.

Thanks!!!

After my wife's mesquite rocker did an unscheduled tour of the California desert, it finally arrived in La Jolla. It is well worth the price and wait! What a spectacular piece of craftsmanship and art. Until the baby arrives, I plan on monopolizing it. It is incredibly comfortable.

We sure are glad we found you. We expect this rocker to be a member of our family for many generations.

Thanks so much, mother and baby are both doing great. S. G. is really progressing well. I can't wait until they are home from the NICU and I can rock her. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful chair. I am sure we will enjoy it for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Gary,

Perhaps the best statement is a pic. It says it all — just got some pics tonight. (See photo below.)

The chair is beautiful and she is thrilled. Thank you so much — another heirloom piece with a story.

We have a couple of more rockers to go. One more daughter and one for me. We're redoing some rooms in the house and I have a spot reserved for a mesquite rocker. It will probably be a couple of months before we order it — waiting for other stuff to come in.

Please give our thanks to the team in the shop. They should be proud to be able to turn out such masterpieces.

All the best

Dear Gary,

Just wanted to thank you so much for the fabulous furniture. The furniture has been much admired by everyone who has seen it and we are so grateful to have these beautiful heirlooms in our lives. The chairs are so comfortable and elegant — I never tire of looking at them.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving . . .

Sincerely A.

p.s. the cats love the table too . . .
