Gary,
I apologize for not responding the day my rocking chair, stool and table arrived (That day I wrote my feelings on a sticky note and stuck the note to my office phone. They exceeded all my expectations. They are beautiful, comfortable and have a quality that evokes feelings of harmony and peace within me. Plus, I love to sit in the chair, put my feet on the stool take a book from the table and read. In short you all have made me very happy. Thanks to all of you. It will all be used, but reverently.
Italy sounds great. A few years ago, J. and I spent a couple of weeks at Montestigliano, wonderful olive farm/villa 12 miles outside Siena. Hadn't been in Italy since '68 when I rode a Vespa all through Rome. Glad you got away and to such a special place. Curious to see if there is a Renaissance touch to future furniture.
Thanks again I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the process and love the result. I am bragging about "Gary Weeks and Company Furniture Makers" to everyone.

Hi Gary and Austin,
We have so much enjoyed our lovely rocker that somehow we managed to ship down to St John USVI in 2011.
You may have heard that St John took a direct hit last September from a Category 5 hurricane. Winds in our hill were clocked at 280 mph, when the machine measuring them broke. It was followed 2 weeks later by another Category 5 (Maria) which devastated Puerto Rico and thoroughly soaked whatever was left on St John. We lost our roof, our wooden decks, and most of our wooden furniture from moisture and mold, but . . . . MIRACULOUSLY, not our rocker! It is virtually the only wooden piece left, and we treasure it all the more.
Best,
J.M.St. John

Dear Autumn,
My rocker and stool arrived yesterday in perfect condition.
I just wanted to tell you and Gary and whoever worked on these beautiful pieces how exquisite they are — perfectly stunning. The comfortable design, incredible craft, gorgeous use of the wood — they are works of art.
I may have mentioned that I am an amateur woodworker and while I'll never make a piece like these, my appreciation runs deep. When my daughter has children I hope she'll nurse them in this rocker. Or maybe I'll have to get her one for herself since I may not be willing to share.
Thank you, and all best wishes for your success,

Hi Gary and Autumn
We received our rocking chairs on April 12th!!! Everything in perfect condition. They are so beautiful, elegant, simple and soooo comfortable, we love them!!! We have been really looking them over and are in awe at the beauty of the wood and the craftsmanship. They are first class all the way. Thank You so much! We sit in them every morning and early evening and in between too :) Oh, and we either look out the windows on the little Salmon River (maybe we see a bear or moose or eagle or Spring happening) or are sitting enjoying the fire in the woodstove. Perfect!
Best Regards

Hi Autumn,
I just wanted to let you know that we received our Cherry Rocker today and my husband and I are completely thrilled!! The color is gorgeous, it's so comfortable and the workmanship and care your team has taken in crafting it is evident throughout. I'm just imagining the hours we'll spend rocking our little girl (who is due in 4 weeks!) in the years to come. It's a piece we'll treasure forever — thank you so much!!
I'm also going to pass along to my parents, my wish to have one of the Harris Stools for my birthday too.
If you hear from C.R. in the near future, that's us!!I hope you have a great evening. Please let your crew know how wonderful their work is!

Gary,
It went well and it was nice to have the custom delivery. The chair is absolutely beautiful and we love the tiger stripe on the surface of the wood. I hope that it keeps that trait as it ages.
I hope to buy two or three more from you in the next 10 years as my sons get married and have children but we will see!
I hope to see you in July.
Take care!

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the kind note. Our experience with your company has been great. Autumn did a wonderful job answering all of our questions and building that confidence, plus I really appreciated the ease of paying online with PayPal.
The chair your team designed and built is perfect for us; which is impressive as I am 6'5" and my spouse is barely 5'. Its arrival in our home has created a new house rule: "You move your feet, you loose your seat". If someone gets up from the chair, someone else will instantly sit in it.
We look forward to many more purchases from your company!
Best,

Hi Gary,
My parents gave me the Weeks Rocker in pecan in 1995 to celebrate the birth of our first child. Many hours have been spent in that chair reading and dozing a little too! I believe my parents (who live in Fort Worth) came upon your rockers at a bed and breakfast — and hunted you down to place the order.
That rocking chair has moved from Tennesee to Virginia to Florida to Washington State to North Carolina and now resides in Colorado! It has truly traveled coast to coast rocking kids of all ages!
We were thrilled to find you on the Internet — still making the same rocker! We wouldn't change a thing! It is our pleasure to give one to our daughter, B. and her husband to celebrate the same event!
Thank you for your commitment to craftmanship — it is well worth the effort!

My walnut rocking chair has been delivered and I am sitting in it as I type this. I love how the back slats conform to my old back and I enjoy rocking away. The workmanship is outstanding. Haven't found one rough spot on it. My husband, a very critical furniture person, cannot find anything negative to say about it. He loves the walnut as do I. I do believe this is now a family heirloom. My husband thinks he might want one but he has a little difficulty standing up from it. He has had knee surgery recently, so I think that might be the problem. My only question now, do I need to keep it oiled down or polished? Even the delivery man was oohing and aahing over it as he helped me take it out of the packing.
