Dear Gary Weeks,

The chair arrived on Monday and it is spectacular. The walnut is deep and luminous.

To be honest, I had wondered how a wooden rocking chair could be as comfortable as you and your customers claim. But it's true! The chair is comfortable to both me (I'm 5'11") and my husband (He's 5'8"). Even though it's made of wood, it's incredibly soft and supportive.

We are expecting our second child in a couple of weeks, and even at 9 months pregnant I can rock comfortably with our daughter, who's three. I'm so looking forward to nursing and rocking our baby, too.

You really do make a beautiful chair.

Thanks,
S.M.

Gary,

After reading practically all of your website and my wife none of it, I had to laugh when the first thing she said after sitting in our new cherry rocker was "It fits me perfectly." We moved it into the completed nursery today; it looks beautiful. We look forward to rocking even more when the baby arrives in a couple of weeks.

As someone who dabbles in woodworking, the craftsmanship is inspiring.

Sincerely,
P.R.

Gary,

The chair arrived in one piece; my daughter and her husband think it's beautiful! They're very excited to have it, but, as they only just arrived home with the baby, focus is far more on the rocked than the rocker at this point. I'll hear more soon, I'm sure.

We most certainly have booked our trip and can hardly wait to rock that little bundle of joy!

Would you like to get comments/feed-back from them?

Thanks for your follow-up and concern.

Gary,

Have been travelling this week and just got home to find my 8 months pregnant wife rocking happily in her new chair. She loves it and I have to say its a beautiful piece of work by you. My wifes friend came around and commented "do you have a cushion for it" my wife told her it was so soft that you didn't need one and as soon as her friend sat it the chair she got the message.

Have to say the workmanship is outstanding and the chair has a nice modern feel about the look.

Both our mothers are coming to stay after the baby arrives so there may be some fighting over who gets the chair!

Thanks again.

Hey Gary,

I am so delighted to finally be able to send this e-mail. On Tuesday July 8, S. and I became parents to healthy baby boy. His name is A.B. He weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz. and came out 21.75 inches long. We brought him home on Friday and I can't tell you how invaluable the rocking chair has already been, not just for photo ops. I am the master rocker when he gets fussy and that is the number one trick up my sleeve. I have already spent more hours in that chair these past 3 days than I have in the months leading up to his birth, and I expect to spend many more days & nights rocking him to sleep and eventually reading to him. It feels great, runs like a dream. It is everything I was hoping the chair would be when we found you on the internet. It is important work that you do. So thank you again for making such a wonderful chair.

Gary,

Thank you so much for the refinishing offer. I don't think the chair would fit in my car or I would take you up on it.

I have to tell you that chair is the most beautiful work of art I have ever purchased. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be coming home with me. You are so incredibly talented. I paid $1,000 for it at Whit Hanks. I remember because it was my Christmas bonus check from work. I knew if I did not buy it, I would regret it.

Thank you so much for the years of enjoyment and the wonderful memories of rocking my baby girls over the years

Hi Gary,

We received the chair and absolutely love it. In fact, our baby loves it too! Excellent craftsmanship — truly a work of art. Thanks again for expediting the order. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Best,

Gary —

We did indeed get the chair and it is magnificent. It's amazingly well-built and solid, but also very comfortable. I rocked our seven-month-old in it last night when he woke up at 3 — he went back to sleep nicely, thank goodness. And my tall husband also finds the chair comfortable and a good place to sit with the baby.

We're very happy with the chair. It's obviously the product of exquisite workmanship. It's a lovely thing to look at and even better to touch. The satiny feel of the wood under my hands is incredible.

Gary,

The rocker was a big success at the shower. My daughter is very happy with it and looking forward to much use with my grandson due in late May (plus future grand kids down the road?).

Thank you for your excellent craftsmanship and all the attention given in careful packaging and shipping making sure we got the product in great condition.

My daughter is in the US Foreign Service and moves overseas frequently. So, we are thinking about keeping the crate for re-use in the next move.

It is the most beautiful piece in our nursery, by far and has already been praised as a "family heirloom" . . . I do look forward to rocking my baby come June.

Thank you.
