To all at Gary Weeks & Company,

I want to tell you AGAIN how much I love the rocking chair I purchased ten years ago. It still lives here in Montpelier, Vermont without a creak, the discrete number of nicks and scratches reminding me of the last ten years of my life. Thank you to all who had a hand in making such a treasure.

Gary and co....THANKS.
Having gone thru several local high end stores sitting in all they had that looked as if I could tolerate it in the house, when I first
sat in my new cherry rocker, so scant and unbulky and beautiful....amazing. And yes, last nite after couple hours on that beautiful
hardwood my bony bottom was beginning to want some pad… Anyway, you have my gratitude and admiration in full. What a joy to deal with
a craftsman and his family. Am a retired eng. and kinda putter around wood lover and builder of my simple oak desk now holding my laptop.
Believe I can fully appreciate the skill, love and care that went into every aspect, not the least of which is your incredible box and packing.

The only chair I considered at the high end store was a stressless from Sweden or Denmark. It cost 500 more than my chair from you. I asked
the very nice saleswoman "is this like the car dealer, when I leave the shop with the chair there is no option to return? She said that is correct" I said "why
would I risk nearly 3000 to try that??

Anyway, am interested in your pad you are working on, because I KNOW it will work with your chairs....you are that kind of guy.

ps Son visiting here is a structural engineer. He is very impressed, and found it comfy

Best, and have a blessed Thanksgiving

Hi Autumn,
I’m so glad you got the check! And yes, I received the stool yesterday. It’s absolutely beautiful paired with the rocker, of course—I’ve attached a picture. I also included a photo that hangs on the wall behind it—it’s of the rocker with me and my daughter, for whose birth the rocker was a gift back in 2003. She’s in college now!
Thanks again for such quality work, and wonderful customer service. I hope to work with you again in the future.
Cheers,L.

Nineteen years ago, I received a cherry Weeks Rocker as a gift when my youngest was born. Unsurprisingly, it has become my most cherished piece of furniture, and the one most admired by others who visit my home. I have long wanted to add a matching footstool to it, and the time has come!
Kind regards, L.

Austin,I’m truly sorry for not sending my appreciation for all the beautiful chairs, and going the extra miles in making everything special for the recipients. Everyone was deeply pleased and awed by your workmanship.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every moment you spent making these special! Also, please send my gratitude to your father who gave so many years and hours in preparing the way for our special gifts. We are all thankful to both of you.

This popped up on my Facebook memories yesterday and thought I’d share. 8 years and we are still in love with this chair. There’s not been a person who’s visited our home who hasn’t commented on its beauty and comfort. I think if our house were on fire, we might grab the chair before the dog. Well, we’d throw the dog on the chair and rescue them at the same time!!

Autumn,

My rocker stool and side table just got unpacked. Of course the packing was bombproof. But easy to take off.

The furniture could not be more beautiful. It’s everything I had hoped…

Thanks again, and please pass on to everyone how pleased I am with their work…

Very best

Another thought on the furniture.

Some furniture is pretty…… but not comfortable. Others ugly, but comfy.

After spending much time looking at, touching and rocking I am reminded of a quote by a very well thought of marine architect, Chuck Paine, when describing Nathaniel Herreshoff’s daysailer design the 12 1/2. He said “ It is the perfect small boat, and cannot be improved in any way.” The rocker, table, and stool cannot be improved.

Another little term I learned in Maine when one refers to something that is “ just right” is “Yare”. Your work is just that.
