Comments from our Patrons

Gary,

My rocker was indeed delivered Monday by a very nice deliveryman. The box, and the rocker inside, were in fine condition.

First, my rocking credentials: I have always had a bit of a rocking compulsion (it must be genetic, because my mother is the same way). As far back as I can remember, I have rocked in whatever chair I happened to be sitting in, whether or not it was intended to be a rocker. It's not much of an exaggeration to say that I have owned and worn out more rocking chairs than the average person will sit in in his or her lifetime.

I note all this only so that when I say that my Weeks Rocker is far and away the best rocking chair I have ever experienced, you will get the full import of my words. As soon as I uncrated the rocker and sat in it, my first remark was "Whoever designed this chair loves to rock." I had read all the testimonials on your website, but even so I was honestly amazed at the way the chair truly cradles and supports my body (for the record, I'm 6'1" and about 185 pounds). Actually, I scoffed at the comments from people who claimed to have fallen asleep in their rockers; however, later on the first night after mine arrived, I found myself so relaxed in it that I had a hard time staying awake. Even my wife, who doesn't share my enthusiasm for rocking and who considered my previous rocking chairs to be little more than eyesores, found my Weeks rocker to be both beautiful to look at and incredibly comfortable to sit in.

I am so thrilled that the weeks of waiting and anticipation paid off so well, and I am looking forward to enjoying my rocker for, well, the rest of my life! Once our new house is pulled together a bit more, I will forward pictures. Feel free to add my testimonial to your website if you like.

Thanks so much —

Hello Gary:

Yes — we have them, and they're just what I expected: excellent!

I also apologize for not writing to you earlier that they'd arrived in good shape, and right on time . . . So thank you very much; you do truly fine work.

All the very best

Dear Gary,

No need to apologize. The chair is everything you said, and more.

My wife and I, and the baby, are all really enjoying the chair. It is very comfortable. Thank you so much.

Best regards,

Please excuse my delay in responding to your email. But an email seems an inadequate vehicle by which to express my delight and gratitude. I hesitated sitting in my rocking chair at first, taken aback by its beauty. It is comfortable and enveloping; solid yet easy for me to move across the carpet; exquisitely built, and gorgeous to behold. I am thrilled with it. The cherry wood was a perfect choice – the chair looks at home in the room. All of you are artists of the highest order, and I am honored to have one of your pieces.

Gary,

I meant to email you last night . . . The rocker arrived, and the box was damaged BUT the rocker is in perfect condition so everything is great. We love the rocker . . . I didn't realize how big it was (a good thing – I'm 6'1" and it fits me perfectly). It's very good looking and obviously well-designed . . . it almost rocks by itself! I'm glad there are still craftsmen like you who create genuine quality furniture.

Thank you,
M.C.

Dear Gary,

I am the very fortunate recipient of your incredible rocking chair. I must thank you for a number of reasons.

Firstly, as a taller mom-to-be I cannot thank you enough for the pitch perfect proportions presented through your chair. I cannot ever remember my back position feeling better as the lumbar support is exactly where it should be. Secondly, that this was the gift chosen by my beloved partner suggests he understands me completely and we shall have a lifetime of memories with this chair as the backdrop.

. . . Everytime I sit in your chair I am reminded of the good times; the beauty, the excitement and the integrity that good design can bring to ones existence. That there are fewer of you able to do this only makes you more special.

In a David vs. Goliath world, I congratulate you and your family on your beautiful work and the impressive feat of succeeding both in business and in art.

Best wishes and continued success!

Hi Gary — I show off my dining chairs at every chance. They are stunning. Prized possessions.

Thank you!

Dear Gary,

Thank you for your email and nice comment. The mountain has been a sacred place for more than 1000 years as is Mt. Fuji. Nowadays, however, people visit these places just for fun.

The rocking chair arrived safely this morning. The chair is more than I expected. First of all, it fits my body so well. The artistic curvature, especially the back, impressed me a lot. Now I can rock in this chair at night and enjoy a special liqueur made by me with wild blueberries, which I picked at the top of Hakusan (the white mountain) just before snowfall. I witnessed that bears were fond of these blueberries, and ate huge amount just before hibernation.

Sincerely,
K.T.

P.S., Your work is marvelous and survives ages. In contrast, although there are so many scientists, the majority of their work are forgotten as soon as they report their research.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that we got the rocker in great condition and although struggling to figure out where to fit it in our tiny house are pleased as punch! Still no baby, so it made it here in plenty of time :)
