Chair arrived in perfect condition. Seems like a work of art as much as a chair. Seems like a living thing.

We'll take some time to feel each other out, but I think this the beginning of a long, lovely partnership.

Thanks to one and all, Gary.

Gary,

The chair was delivered this morning. It is a masterpiece! Your craftsmanship is superb.

D.

It is beautiful and comfortable to set and hold my grandson. Thank you so much.

Have a Good Day!!!
R.

Gary,

We did receive the furniture and are very happy. The workmanship and quality are superb and it fits very well with the rest of what we have in the house.
Congratulations on your daughters marriage.

J.

Gary,

I received the rocker this morning and it is beautiful and comfortable! Wonderful craftsmanship. I look forward to many years of enjoyment.

J.

Hi Gary,

Actually, I'm sitting in my rocker with feet propped up on my new stool as I write this note. It's beautiful!

Thanks for doing what you do. If all your customers derive as much pleasure from your work as I do, you've made the world a better place.

Gary,

My rocking chair arrived in perfect condition yesterday and is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much for your great work! It was immediately comfortable to sit in, and looks fantastic in our home. It is sure to serve me well during the extended rocking days I have ahead of me . . .

K.

Hi Gary,

Yes, we received the rocker and it is beautiful

Thanks so much,
C.

Gary,

The pleasure was ours! You are such an amazing customer advocate, a trait sorely lacking in most businesses today where the push to make profits is paramount. In addition, you build a quality product that really shows the details of your craftsmanship, and the end result is so comfortable!! I am a very happy client! So, thank YOU!!!

Brgds,
L.

Dear Gary,

What a lovely experience. First, the discovery of your website nearly 10 years ago. Obviously your company is more that just a "business". Your philosophy, creativity, and integrity certainly caught my attention. Seeing your rocker was love at first sight. Since that time I have visited your site often and yearned to own one of your rocking chairs.

Well, special events call for treasured gifts. For my 50th birthday my husband surprised me with my dream rocker. I was thrilled! In this day oandage, where it seems like time passes too quickly, emphasis is placed on technology, quality is sacrificed for mass production and revenue, and the individual gets lost in the crowd — it is so refreshing to know that Gary Weeks and Company exists!! You take every day items and make them extraordinary to enhance our lives and bring us joy. Rocking is therapeutic, grounding, nostalgic, and nurturing — the world would be a better place if everyone owned a Gary Weeks Rocking Chair.

The principles of simplicity and honesty are evident in your designs. I appreciate the time and care you and your craftsmen/ women (and children – the precious butterfly drawing on the crate) put into creating each detail. Just sitting in my rocker makes me feel connected to all the wonderful people who put their energy into it. I am deeply touched and grateful to own such a functional work of art. You ARE truthful — "most beautiful, most comfortable", indeed YES! I respect your family and workers for what you do and how you do it. Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives.

Take Care,
C. and B.

Gary,

The rocker arrived on time and in perfect shape. I am rockin' as I write!

We did a lot of research before we decided on "the rocker" that would work. We were looking for something functional and attractive. We spend a lot of time on the Oregon coast in the summers. Over the last 10 years, I have ogled the Myrtle wood rockers that various woodworkers have created on the coast. About a month before we decided on the Weeks rocker, my wife and I made a trip to the Oregon coast with the express purpose of buying a Myrtle wood rocker. We stopped at several shops and I "rocked" several chairs. The chairs varied in price from $2500–$5000 but, they all had one thing in common. They ALL had floating back staves and they all felt strange to rock, as with each rock the staves would flex. It felt weird, almost like the staves were going to break. A rocker should provide comfort while rocking, not anxiety.

I have sciatic problems and the Weeks rocker provides support and comfort to my back. I am also able to spend hours in front of the TV or reading in comfort while rockin'.

I worked for 7 years at a firm that made wood working machinery and I feel that I can recognize quality wood working. The Weeks rocker is an excellent example of superior American Craftsmanship.

I am proud to own a Weeks Rocker.

B.

Hello Gary,

The rocking chair arrived a little while ago. It is very beautiful. It is very comfortable. It will become a treasure for sure and is intended to accompany me to whatever . . .

Thanks for your fine work,
M.

Dear Gary,

Yesterday, in our short conversation, I mentioned the very positive effect your Rocking Chair video had on my final selection of Weeks Rockers. I had been all over the net, and could have sprung for a much higher ticket chair had their qualities been sufficiently important. I read all the pitches, and lusted after one or the other quite a few times before reaching your site, and carefully considering all that you present in your brochure, website, blog and video.

. . .

Your video presentation was thorough and most informative, but concise, and it never felt rushed or high pressure in any way. You have a thoughtful, measured style, and a way with the perfect words for the situation. I have since read your web materials more closely and see that style is similarly represented in your written products. The things you publish are easy to read and most educational, without being verbose or stilted. I am particularly impressed that you give your co-workers, suppliers, and even counterparts much credit. Your discussion about Mr. Sam Maloof was enlightening and most complimentary. It appears to me that you have given as much or more thought into the development of a fine rocker as anybody.

. . .

Now, I have yet to even see a Weeks piece in person, but I know that I will be very satisfied. The composition of your family-based, All-American company, and the thoughtful selection of woods, and proud craftsmanship, will surely result in furniture that we will treasure and be proud to pass on.

. . .

I am not given to pumping sunshine, and I am indeed no valued critic, but your presentations made a lot of difference in my selection. I am convinced that I'm buying the best value rockers available. I hope you put your brand on the items somewhere. I am grateful that you have taken the time to chat with me about my concerns and special requests. It means a lot to me to "know" the people that create the things that are important. I can't wait to add them to our little castle.

My only regret is that I am unable to visit your shop and meet you personally.

Wishing you and your staff a healthy and prosperous future.

Most Respectfully,
J.

I recieved my rocker and I love it!!! I have to sit on a firm chair because of my back, and have been sitting on a kitchen chair for a while.

I can't tell you how many chairs I have tried that weren't supportive enough.

It is so wonderful to have a chair that is so comfortable and supportive that I can sit and relax in! It is a beautiful piece of furniture, a work of art.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
M.

its here.
its superb.

Yes the chair was delivered on Wednesday. Chair is great although little bit more straight up position than what I am used to in Finnish rocking chairs. The finish is beautiful! I do appreciate all the work that is put into the chair.

Delivery company on the other hand was not that great. I was never contacted about the delivery time in advance. I got a call from the truck driver around 10am on Wednesday morning when he was trying to do the delivery and nobody was home. When I got home at noon I got the number of local company from the original shipper and they told me to deliver it again by 5pm. But it did not happen until 8pm. And again I was never contacted about the delay.

Thanks for the great piece of furniture you've made!
A.

Wonderful rocker Gary! I spent my life as a potter in Stowe Vermont and I am very critical about hand crafted anything — You are the best I've ever come across and I thank you.

J.

Well, the chair arrived yesterday. It is about as perfect as I could imagine. I rocked for hours yesterday feeling the silkiness of the wood in absolute awe of your magnificent artistry. In fact now my husband wants one and he isn't even a rocker! I am also contemplating getting the Otwell table in cherry and maybe the shorter Berry barstool stool as that might be great for playing my cello. Do you think it would be good for that? I need to sit forward to play. I love the simplicity of the chair. Maybe it comes in mesquite!! Watch out I might become a regular!!

Love, love , love your work!!!!!!!!

Happy that you and yours enjoy mine too . . . talk to you soon.

best,
I.

Hi Gary,

I wanted to let you know that I received my rocker this morning, and I just love it. It is not only a beautiful work of craftsmanship, but a work of art, in my humble opinion. And it is so comfortable.

Regards,
J.

I love my new rocking chair . . . it is beautiful, and arrived in perfect condition. Although I do find it comfortable, I am interested in buying a cushion for it, as I would like a little padding, and would like to sit a little higher. Is there a particular cushion you have found works well and you would recommend for your rocker?

Thank you —
L.

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I was unexpectedly called out of town, but someone was here to receive the shipment. My husband unpacked the crate on Saturday and reports that the rocker and table look fantastic! Thanks very much and we look forward to rocking for many years to come.

C.

Hi Gary:

The chair and table arrived in perfect shape as promised, we couldn't be more pleased. I never thought it would be possible for one chair to please two people at the same time, my wife enjoys sitting in it and I enjoy just looking at it. It is an exquisite piece of furniture and you described it to a T. This will be cherished for many years to come. Thank you so much.

Best regards
J.

Gary,

We received the rocker; it is beautiful and wonderful to sit in! We love it!

Thank you!
P.

A truck showed up at sunset. No damage.

The rocker and stool are works of art. Comfort is superb. Placement of wood grain is like the grain was painted on. We could not be happier. D. was speechless when she saw it (tears). I feel like a guy who just caught a 10 pound trout. Thank you all . . .

Your bold confidence is now modesty in comparison to your rocker. Well done.

Greatest appreciation,
G.

Hi Gary,

The rocker arrived in perfect condition. It is gorgeous, a real work of art. After we unboxed it, we spent a lot of time just looking at it and touching it. Fits me perfectly, no pressure points on my back. It was also interesting for me to see how L. truly "gets it" regarding the chair's design and quality, as she pointed out all the fine details most people would not notice. I believe you have achieved perfection with this rocker, I wouldn't change anything. Except for maybe offering the mesquite for the same price as walnut ;)

Regards,
K.

Hi Gary,

The chair arrived today. It is gorgeous! Love the color and smooth sanding. Looks like it was carved out of marble but more complicated angles so refined and the way the angles catch the light or the light enhances the subtle angles. I love the details and angles and curves. So sculptural. This should be on the cover of Sports Illustrated or Fine Woodworking magazine. I love the front columns the size, tapered and sculpted column like quality of them and the way the seat fits into them, it is stunning. Can't stop touching it. I will be working on wood tripods today but I think my eyes will be on the chair.

Thank-you. It arrived in perfect condition.
L.

Hi Gary,

My rocker and foot stool arrived today. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! The selection of wood patterns is just beautiful and perfect on both pieces . . . I am so happy!

You and your team do wonderful, quality work and the rocker and foot stool are now being enjoyed and cherished in California!

Many thanks!
C.

Hi Gary,

We received the rocker today, and we LOVE it. It's absolutely gorgeous, beautifully made, and super comfortable. We look forward to spending many years rocking in it with our daughter.

Thanks so much!
A.

Hi Gary,

I wanted to let you know that the rocker and foot stool arrived here unscathed on Tuesday afternoon.
I got home late, and didn't get a chance to unpack it until yesterday. Now that it's all unpacked and my family has had a chance to use it a bit, I want to echo all the great feedback you've gotten from your other customers.

Starting with the quality of the pieces, the craftsmanship is superb. If nothing else, having such finely made work in our home is truly a pleasure. The selection and matching of the cherry for the different elements in both pieces adds to the obvious care that was taken in the design and workmanship.

But there's more. My family's body shapes and sizes cover a wide range, from my son (6'1", 145 lbs, "This feels great on my back!"), to my wife (5'10", 1(mfph$&@) lbs, "mmm, very comfy."), to me (6'1", 275 lbs, "ahhh"), and we all love how functional and comfortable the chair is.

The rocker and foot stool will be a well-used, cherished pieces in our home for many years. Thank you.

Best regards,
R.

Hello Gary, Leslie, Austin and crew,

M. and P. received their rocker and table in good order and are VERY pleased. M. sent the attached photos. I look forward to seeing the finished products in February or March when I plan to visit my new granddaughter.

Thanks again and all the best to Gary Weeks and Company in 2012,
R.

Hi Gary, I didn't want to write until I had a chance to try out your chair — never seen one up close before. Bottom Line: I LOVE YOUR CHAIR!! I love the size and I love the feel of the wood. Wish I had two . . .

Perfectly delighted,
H.

gary,

I am enjoying the rocker, as it is validates all your claims. I waited out the return period just to be certain a wood chair could possibly provide so much support and comfort. initially, the temptation to keep it just for the beauty of the design entered my mind.

I assume that by virtue of my decision to keep the rocker, I can trash the box.

enjoyed doing business with you. my back thanks you as well.

happy new year,
G.

Gary,

J.'s rocker arrived as you said in your note. Everything was just fine. We especially enjoyed the hand and foot decoration by your young one on the carton. ;-)

I am a potter by avocation (with some woodworking thrown in). I have always been interested in the integration of form and function, aesthetic and utility, in creating pots and other things. Your chair does so exceptionally well. I can see the attention to detail in both design and execution. A beautiful, can't keep my hands off it rocking chair. Deceptively simple, perfectly executed. Nicely done!

True to your web site, the chair fit everyone in the family, ranging from a small 5'2" to a tall 6'2", whether simply rocking or holding little S. and rocking him to sleep.

We are all delighted. Thank you!

R.

Hi Gary;

K. LOVES the rocking chair. It's hard to pry him out of it! We both thank you so much, its beautiful. I'll try to text you a picture.

Happy New Year,

K.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

I love the chair! It is really a testament to the craftsmanship and pride of your artisans. Please thank them for creating such a wonderfully usable work of art.

Warmest wishes for the season,
J.

Hello Gary,

Just to let you know the side table arrived and according to the family report it is beautiful beautiful beautiful and the quality, as is the rocker, exceptional.
Gold star on the achievement chart!!
The box it was packed in was of more interest to the grandchild & dog.

Regards,
J.

Gary,

Your wonderful rocker just arrived. The most comfortable I've ever sat in plus a pleasure to look at.
I'm very pleased with it — Thank you.

Merry Christmas to you and God bless you, your family, and your friends.

C.

The honor is mine. Thank you for a beautiful piece of furniture. Please also thank Mrs. Weeks who helped me on the phone with my selection. Another big thank you for doing such wonderful work. I hope you have as much pride of accomplishment as I have pride in my (formerly your) rocker.

M.

Hi Gary,

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit as well, and also the tour of your workshop; thank you for spending a little time with us! The chair has already found its rightful place in the living room where I sit in it every morning for coffee and every evening for TV watching. Truly the most comfortable rocker I've ever sat in! Thank you again.

Blessings,
J.

Hi Gary,

Yes, everything arrived in time for the Thanksgiving break. I don't really know what to say except everything is just great. The nicely figured seats on the Rocker and the Harris stool are a special treat. People who have been over to the house and have seen the furniture are just as speechless as I am. I just can't believe how comfortable it is each time I sit in it. Most folks have never seen (and unfortunately most never will see) such well crafted furniture. Luckily for some of us, you have figured out how to make and sell these items at a price that is accessible – a remarkable value for the price. Lastly, I have to comment on the Otwell side table with shelf — I think it is a real beauty and perfectly proportioned. My wife says that "it's just perfect" (it is located on her end of the couch).

Thank you and your team for the fine furniture,
N.

Hello Everyone —

Just wanted to let my whole family know that the wonderful gift you gave me on my birthday arrived at our home yesterday. It came on a truck and was boxed as if it was the lost ark from "Raiders". Once opened, I knew why. Truly, it is now the most beautiful piece of furniture we have in our home or in Willowbrook for that matter. I've never seen such a work of art like this chair. You can tell that someone spent an awful lot of time and effort into creating such a piece. It's absolutely beautiful, and as comfortable as a leather sofa. Thank-You all very, very much. I can¹t wait to sit in it as I watch A. pace back and forth in the room to try and get the baby to sleep!

Thanks Again,
J.

I got it.

I am rocking grand babies as much as time will permit. They are getting a little older but still enjoy getting in my lap and rocking. It is so good for them and just as good for me.

Thank you very much.

Have a very Merry Christmas.

Blessings to you and your family,
L.

Thanks for the email, Gary. Very much enjoying the chair. Beautiful piece. Lovely where it sits in the most prominent spot in our house and comfortable to boot. Thanks for your very careful and precise work. I enjoy it every time I look at the chair. Haven't gotten that first ding just yet. I know it's coming, but for now it still looks like it just came from the shop.

Nap of the rug sends it North a bit, but that's OK.

The whole event inspired me to get my shop back in order. Spent most of Thanksgiving on that project. Had a great time and rediscovered all that stuff I have. I'm not fully back in business yet, but the shop is functional again. Just to prove it I finished a chair I had been neglecting for literally a couple of years.

Looking forward to coming out and visiting again.

Best,
A.

Gary

I'm so sorry I didn't get to beat you to the punch with an email . . .
The rocker arrived safe and sound and it's beautiful!!! J. just loves it!
I stopped to see it the other day and it was better than I had hoped.
J.'s wife who is 7 months pregnant found it very comfortable!!
You have been wonderful to work with and we were all so pleased to give our brother a 50th birthday gift he could cherish forever, and use daily!
Take care, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

M.

Hi Gary. The chair made it's way up here at last. Thank you very much — it's beautiful and was well worth the wait. Already easing her back in the last part of the pregnancy.

Thanks for everything.
J.

Gary, this my latest project using curly maple. Hope you like it. The rocker does not compare to the comfort of the chairs you and Austin make.

the best
M.

Gary,

. . .
By the way, we LOVE our chairs — my husband is 6'7" and I am 5'1" and we have spent countless hours over the last 18 months rocking with our first baby boy. It still amazes me that one chair fits us both so well. I can¹t wait for a footstool to accompany it so we can spend just as much time rocking baby boy #2.

Thanks a million.
L.

Gary,

Thanks so much for your email. Baby L. finally arrived last Thursday. We are over the moon about her, and are very much enjoying rocking her to sleep in the chair, which all of our visitors remark on. We're thrilled with the investment, and look forward to using it for many years to come.

I've attached photos of R. and of my mother both enjoying the chair (and as promised, it works perfectly both for the 6'6" man and the 5'5" woman!).

Thanks again.

Best,
G.

Hi Gary,

I received the chair yesterday and it gathered lots of spectators at work! We were able to fit it in my hatchback for transit home and it's found a temporary home in the middle of our nursery until I can move a bookshelf out of the way. It is just stunning and rocks like a dream. Our little "Peach" (her name for now) and I had a nice rock and read last night before bed. I enjoyed Bela's artwork on the crate lid also, please let her know. Thank you for your work and care in providing us with such a beautiful chair!

More soon,

K.

Gary,

The rocker arrived when it was supposed to with all well, complete with Wiley Mae's art work which made the box the envy of the neighborhood. I arrived (also all well) slightly later than expected and we finally unpacked the rocker late yesterday. It is both beautiful and comfortable and has gotten a lot of rocking in not very many hours. We love it and it looks fabulous in its new home.

Thank you so much!

C.

Dear Gary — the rocker arrived not long after we spoke and I was on the phone with the shipper. It is a gift for my wife from her children. She is thrilled by it, as am I. It would be a great addition to our house even if no one ever sat in it! Just to look at it or touch it brings a smile of pleasure. I'll give you an update on the joy of sitting in it once I gain some experience.

Thanks so much!

R.

Dear Gary and Austin,

I unwrapped the chair first thing this morning and was absolutely stunned! I could not be more pleased with the craftsmanship, the design, and the comfort. The back support is just right, and everyone who has sat in it feels it must have been made for them alone. The wood is beautiful, and you captured the grain perfectly! I thank you both, and hope you will pass along my sincere thanks to everyone who contributed in creating my chair.

I am trained as an engineer and tend to favor function over form, much to the dismay of my daughters (ages 19 and 22), who are both talented artists and take the opposite view. When I first sat in the chair I was reminded of the quote from William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." The Weeks rocker is a sublime combination of aesthetics and function that satisfies both conditions perfectly. I have already promised to buy each a Weeks rocker of their own when they establish their own households in a few years. (So don't go and retire any time soon, please . . .)

I am attaching a photo, and I'm sure you will agree that the rocker has found an absolutely ideal place to be treasured (and shown off!).

Thanks again,

B.

P.S. Please let Bela know how pleased I was to find her beautiful drawing atop the carton this morning. I am sending a thank you to her in the mail on Monday . . .

Delivered an hour ago. Looks great and is very comfortable. Thanks again for such a quality product.

A.I.

Ps, we enjoyed the butterfly artwork from Bela.

Hello Gary.

The chair and stool were just delivered. My wife is very pleased and they look great in our nursery. Both the stool and chair are beautiful; you are a true craftsman. The wood stock is gorgeous and the finish immaculate. Thank you, Leslie and the rest of your team for your hard work and excellent customer service.

Time permitting, I will give you more thoughts after spending more time rocking.

Until then, take care.

D.

Gary,

We received the rocking chair and accessories on Wednesday and are very happy with them. We cannot wait to use them when the baby arrives! Thank you very much.

We have a quick question about care: do you advise against the use of paste wax (e.g. Butcher's) to protect the finish?

Thanks,
A.

The rocker arrived yesterday morning and mother M. and baby B. love it. As I have said, it has been such a pleasure for me to give them something made to be beautiful and comfortable by someone I know.

Thanks —
S.

It arrived this morning and it is beautiful, full intact and undamaged — nice work

R.

How delightful of you to respond!

You may not remember, but I sent you an email months ago — before ordering the rocker — to ask if you could make the seat higher because of my bum knees. (You said you really couldn't.) Obviously, we ordered it anyhow. But I just wanted to tell you that the arms on the rocker are the perfect height to assist me and I've been able to get out of it with no problem!

And I'm having knee replacement surgery in January, so expect at least some of my recuperation may involve rocking!!

B.

Hello Gary,

The rocker just arrived and is so beautiful! I thought you'd enjoy a photo of it on our porch facing the lake. We couldn't resist "starting" it there so we could read in it on a beautiful afternoon, before it goes into the living room.

It couldn't be more lovely. And we loved the artwork from your granddaughter!! Another budding artist in the family!

Many thanks!
B. and R.

Gary --

The furniture arrived this morning, safe and sound — and looking beautiful. Plycon was careful and attentive, and I can see why you would want to use them.

We're delighted. Thanks again.

C.

Gary,

Thanks so much for checking in. It did, indeed, arrive today, in perfect condition, while we are still waiting for Miss J. You have been tremendously helpful in working around my due date.

The rocker has the elegant lines and beautiful grain/smoothness I expected. I am delighted with how comfortable it is as well. Like many others in the review section, I fell asleep yesterday afternoon while testing it out.

Sleep, of late, has not been easy to come by, so this was pretty amazing. My significant other has been amused by how excited I've been about the arrival of this chair. This made it all the more gratifying when, after I made him sit down to try it, he didn't budge for almost an hour. He has a bad back, and really enjoyed the fit of the rocker. You have a new convert. He was also extremely impressed with the workmanship and agrees that this is the loveliest piece of furniture we own.

Have a great rest of the summer and I'm sure we'll be back for a matching rocker before too long, perhaps if/when number two is coming along.

S.

Gary,

We received the rocker yesterday, the same day we brought our baby boy home from the hospital — perfect timing! The rocker is absolutely beautiful and our little one has already enjoyed a number of rocking sessions in it — he's a fan too!

Thank you again for getting the rocker to us early, and of course, for the amazing craftsmanship that went into building it! It will be treasured in our family for years to come.

Blessings to you and your family,
M.G.

Hi Gary,

The rocker arrived today! We absolutely love it. My wife says it is so comfortable and it looks fantastic in the baby room. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Thanks so much!
B.S.

Gary,

We Love the rocker and footstool. It is beautiful, and so comfortable. Perfect for reading, or just relaxing.
When I was a young boy, my grandmother had a favorite rocking chair, and I admired it so. Now I have mine!
Yes, we are enjoying it, and will for many years to come.

Thank you all your hard work in furniture making. We will be back!

Best regards,
S. & M.L.

I received the shipment. The chair, etc., are beautiful; works of art. Thank you very much.

Hello Gary Weeks & Company

This past weekend I became the proud owner of a Weeks Rocker — it was a 50th birthday gift from my girlfriend L.!

It is a beautiful and comfortable chair and you should know that I will enjoy every minute in it.

D.

Gary,

Every morning I sit in my rocker and rock gently as I start my day with a cup of coffee. It is so very beautiful, and everyone who comes in our home winds up sitting there and going into a kind of trance.

I'm sorry I haven't written sooner to thank you for creating it for our home, but I wanted to get some photographs taken of it to show you the space it occupies in our lives.

I love not only how it looks, how it feels to sit in it and lean my head back, but also the touch of it under my palms. The wood is silky and luscious to the touch and the motion takes me back to a very old place I don't even consciously remember.

It is my favorite piece of furniture in the whole house; thank you for sharing your art with us. I can tell it was made with love.

Peace,
R.

Hi Gary, Just wanted to let you know that the rocker arrived in perfect shape, was a complete surprise, and Rick says he "really, really likes it." Thanks for all your help, for making such a wonderful product, and for working with us to make it a surprise. I would recommend your business to everyone. Thanks again,

D.

Hi Gary

My husband bought a beautiful mesquite rocker from you — I'll have to look on the bottom to remember when. We have enjoyed it in our living room and it is indeed comfortable as well as a thing of beauty. We still marvel at the mesquite, very precious.

Sincerely,
M.

Dear Gary,

D. has had his 50th birthday rocking chair for almost a year now and I can tell you that if he is home and sitting down, it is likely that he is sitting in his rocker. He is so pleased to have it. The chair sits in our living room, near the wood stove, in front of the windows looking over our back yard. The chair is comfortable enough that he can sit for hours working (he's a computer scientist and sometimes works at home) and it is roomy enough that he and his laptop fit nicely. Thank you so much for working with me to give him something that he really enjoys and cherishes.

Best,
S.

P.S. He was delighted with the surreptitious carved lizard.

Gary: I've been meaning to send a note. Yes, it's here and arrived in perfect condition! I've rocked in it, napped in it and even played my ukelele in it. Comfortable and beautiful!! I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment. Thanks for your craftsmanship!

L.

Hi Gary,

Your masterpiece arrived this morning and is most comfortable and looks great!

Thnx,
B.

Gary —

The rocker arrived yesterday, and it is beautiful . . .

My wife is so pleased, she would now like a Harris stool to go with it in cherry. Would you place an order for us? . . .

Thanks,
D.

Hi Gary,

We received the stools, and rocker last night.

Everything was perfect, and we are extremely impressed with your workmanship and design.

Thank you for all your attention, and follow up.

We hope to order again in the future.

Best Regards,

Gary,

I received the rocker in good condition about noon. It looks mighty fine! I hope it lasts as long as the last one (>30 years). One question, the felt on the rockers, how long will it last on a tile floor? When it wears out what should I do?

Thanks again,
R.
