Gary,

R. was awed! A gorgeous work of art. She eyed the rocker from across the room, then closed the distance slowly circling, taking in the beautiful lines and outstanding craftsmanship. She moved the rocker into a shaft of sunlight and slowly rocked the chair watching the grain and finish of the seat — the walnut shimmered like a highly polished tiger eye gemstone. Carefully she checked the underside of the chair and was delighted to find it signed and numbered. Then, she eased into the chair, slowly she relaxed, and a smile crossed her face — ear to ear. The seat was wide and full, the headrest perfect, the arms were just right for her, the edge of the seat didn't cut into her legs, and her feet were comfortably on the floor. The chair is just her size!

Gary, you made her very happy, thank you!

I'm not sure how you figured everything out, but you did . . . the chair fits me like a glove! R. is 5'6" and I'm 6'1". All I can say is "It's magic"!

We love our rocker!

Thanks for everything,

D. and R. W.

Gary,

The rocker arrived Monday 10-4-04 and the baby arrived Saturday (I., 9 lbs, 4 ozs). We just came home from the hospital and are looking forward to using the rocker. The rocker looks beautiful and arrived in perfect shape.

Thank you,

A. and K.D.

Hi Gary,

I AM rocking, and I am SO pleased! Your chair fits my extra-long legs and tilts my body back to a comfortably balanced angle — something which was missing in the (considerably more expensive) rocker I tried first. The arms are delightfully sculptured for resting my hands outstretched or for crossing them in toward the body for knitting or reading. Not an uncomfortable edge to be found. The finish is beautiful to eye and hand alike. I am looking forward to showing it off and (occasionally) sharing its comfort. Thank you so much, Gary. And thank you for delivering it exactly as committed, without a hitch.

B.F.

Hi Gary,

I wanted to thank you for working so hard on the beautiful chair. It's really lovely. J. loves the look and can't wait to ride in it, but she's not quite ready for that firm a seat yet. F. was born at home on Saturday September 25th. at 3:47am.

Thanks again to you, your family, and coworkers

M.S.

Gary:

The rocker arrived safely, and it's beautiful. It has joined our family of chairs in the living room, and I must say that it looks quite happy to be there. I've put it so that its wonderful curly patterns are visible from the doorway, and will draw the eyes of people as they walk in. My kids will fight over this, for sure! Thanks — you are a lovely man to work with.

I want to let you know what surprised me about the rocker: its heft. Somehow that does not come across in your photos, or didn't to me. I knew its dimensions, and at some point I actually got out my tape measure and figured out how high it would stand, but I didn't realize, until it arrived, how strong and substantial it would be. I really, really like that about it.

(maybe someday I'll get a second one, for the family room!)

A.S.

Listen, I would have waited another year to get this thing. It is totally beautiful. I couldn't be happier with your work! Thanks for the good job and don't be surprised if I sell a few more for you.

Gary,

The rocker has arrived and is beautiful. How fortunate you are to have the gift of creating such beautiful things. And I am fortunate to get to share in your talents.

I think it will "rock on" in my family for many generations.

B.P.

Dear Gary,

The walnut rocker arrived today, in perfect condition, although the top of the box got smashed in and the flaps separated, letting some shipping grime in. (It might be worthwhile to use an extra piece of cardboard to help guard against this in future shipments.)

Anyway, on to the chair! As we anticipated, the rocker is well-proportioned and graceful, but we were surprised and impressed at how large and substantial it is! The craftsmanship appears to be top-notch, and the attention to detail is evident, down to the careful matching and placement of pieces for grain and color. I'm also pleased with the deep tones of the walnut.

As I told you, we had not seen the OS Clear Oil before, but the finish on the chair is beautiful. The Hardwax Oil gives off a strong "waxy" smell for quite a while after application, but the rocker has only the faintest odor, so that's a nice surprise.

Of course, the point of the rocker is to use it, which we did immediately. I found it very comfortable, and my 17-month old daughter was quite taken with it, wanting to rock on mommy's lap, and then stand in front of the chair and rock it with me in it. At nap time, we found that it fits a breastfeeding mom & toddler great! My daughter's legs easily fit under the arm of the chair, with her feet supported by the edge of the seat, and the central placement of the back slats allowed her to tuck her arm behind me. Maybe it was just all the excitement of finally receiving our "special chair", but she was asleep in minutes.

So, thank you for making us this beautiful piece of furniture with the special finish, and for the excellent service. In this era of high-hassle, low-quality goods, it's a treat to have my expectations exceeded.

Best regards,

E.D.

Dear Gary:

The chair has arrived and is beautiful, and in fine shape. Yes, it feels wonderful and is very comfortable. Clearly the most comfortable chair in the house.

Thank you so much for your craft, your artistry, and the nice time we had getting to know you.

Sincerely,

J.B.

Hi Gary,

Got the chair. My wife could not be happier. Thanks again for the great service.

J.T.

Gary,

Yes the chair arrived and is quite beautiful. I don't even want to sit in it yet. I've just been standing there admiring the beauty of it.

Thanks,

C. F.

Gary,

I received the rocking chair yesterday. I could appreciate it looking at pictures on-line but nothing replaces touching and sitting in it for the first time. I am so glad I made the decision to purchase one of your rockers. Now that the rocker is here we just need the baby to arrive (due Sept. 10th.)

Thanks again!

A. W.

Gary,

My husband is delighted with the chair. He and I both taught in the College of Architecture at Tech for many years retiring in 1997. We appreciate the design and craftsmanship that you put into your art.

Sincerely,

V.T.

Gary,

Well the rocker got here before your receiving instructions did. It's beautiful! And it is truly the most comfortable rocker I've ever sat in — except for my grandmother's lap, of course, when she was rocking me. Thank you so much.

I assume from your answer to my question about building rockers from wood supplied by me is that it isn't really worth it unless the wood I have is really unique or there are other non-monetary reasons, neither of which is the case here. So I'll just wait until I start developing grandchildren and order rockers then.

Thanks again for the chair.

K. W.

We did get it and we love it! We spent the evening acting like kids attempting to share a new toy — "it's MY turn . . ." It's more comfortable than I even imagined, and I'm really glad we got the footstool too. I just entered my third trimester, and kicking my feet up is a good thing right now! The delivery guy was on time and very courteous, so that worked out well too. I imagine you'll be hearing from us at some point when we decide we need a "his" to go with this "hers" chair. Thanks for everything. It was a pleasure working with you.

N. and K. J.

Gary,

I received my Cherry Rocker yesterday and I am very pleased with the comfort, styling, and the smoothness of the finish. I am 5'10" and weigh 250 lbs. and it fits me just perfect.

G.U.

Dear Gary,

Thank you for the fast delivery of the chair. A. and I love sitting in it already.

We've put you on our announcement e-mail list — so you'll know who the third beneficiary of the chair is when she or he comes.

All the best to you and your family. Happy house building!

Take care,

M.M.

Gary,

Yes we have the chair. I got it for my wife, so I've only been allowed to sit in it once. She likes it very much. The stool is perfect with it.

Thanks,

B.N.

Gary,

The chair is not only beautifully made, but also very comfortable. M. and I are very pleased with the chair. You and your team did a beautiful job. I am sure we will enjoy the chair for many years to come.

Thank you again, it was worth the wait.

H. L.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

The chair was delivered as scheduled, and arrived in perfect condition. We are most pleased with the rocker in terms of comfort, beauty, design and workmanship. The joints are immaculate, a delight to the hand, and the grains as nearly symmetrical as human art could achieve. It is everything I hoped, and then some.

Many thanks,

J.A.

P.S. — My Weeks cherry rocker reminds me of a rosewood desk by Sam Maloof that I had a chance to buy for $800 about 40 years ago. I have often regretted my inability to afford that desk, which would now be a museum piece, but I expect the sting to fade in the enjoyment of your magnificent chair.

Hi,

Well the rocker was delivered right on time and my dad loves it, I wish I had been there to see his face. Thank you so much. It's a good feeling to know that there are people out there who say what they mean, and mean what they say. Continued success.

Sincerely,

P.P.

Hi Gary,

The rocker arrived yesterday in good shape. If you designed this chair to fit you, you must be about 5'8", 150 pounds, 32/30 trousers, size 40 jacket, big feet and size 7 hat. This chair fits me to a tee and is a work of art. I have studied it over and cannot determine how many quarts of wildcat it took before you got settled on how it ought to be, but I'm glad you stuck it out and came up with this chair. It is really nice to sit in and nice to look at. My wife is very happy with the chair. She said that it is charming and beautiful. She is now talking about replacing all our living room furniture to match the chair. This sort of talk would usually get me worried a little, but she will never be able to match the exquisite beauty of your rocking chair.

In 1972-73, I built a 38' gill netter. It was a brute of a commercial fish boat with 13' of beam, drew 5' of water, was planked with 1-1/2 inch cedar, framed in oak, single Caterpillar diesel, and I forget how many tons of fish you could carry in the hold. It was the first boat I ever built and I probably should have started with a rowboat and worked my way up. A couple of months into the job I realized I had bit off more than was a mouthful, but decided to stick it out. Six months into the job, I realized that it was waaaay more than a mouthful, but now I was in so far, I couldn't let go. A shade over a year later, the boat was in the water and I told my friends that if anybody ever sees me with a set of boat plans again to please just get the 12 gauge and kill me. The reason I am telling you this story is because, just looking at this rocking chair and thinking about you figgering it out, made me think of that damn boat. To tell you the truth, the more I think about it, I believe I would rather build that boat again than try to come up with a rocking chair. You did a great good job. I very much appreciate the effort that went into this rocking chair.

Best to you and your crew down there. I hope you win the lottery and that your dog lives for 20 years.

J.M.

Hi Gary,

It is nice to hear from you! Thank you for the good wishes. We do feel blessed that we have a healthy daughter. These first few weeks have been full of discovery!

I'm glad you had a chance to look at the photos. I forgot that you had never "seen" me before. I think I saw a photo on your website of you and your family awhile back, which is always nice to connect a face to a person. The rocker is just gorgeous in the room, if I may say so myself! Everytime I see it I'm taken away with how beautiful it is, and just want to drop what I'm doing to go sit in it. M. seems to really enjoy it as well.

Best wishes to you and your family. Do keep in touch and take care.

Sincerely Yours,
C., C., and M. W.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that E. (6 days old today!), is thoroughly enjoying his new rocking chair.

Thank you for making us such a beautiful piece of art.

Best,
J., D., and E. R.

Gary,

Received the Terrell Side tables yesterday. They are fantastic! Your shipping containers are as well thought out as are the pieces you make. They arrived perfectly and are beside my bed with the rocker and footstool at their side. Being an old woodworker, I can say that your work is impeccable and exquisitely done. Thanks again. They will become heirlooms someday.

C.F.

Thanks Gary

The baby arrived safe and sound on Tuesday and the rocker is great. Beautiful grain design on the headrest. Very comfy. Thanks very much.

D.H.

Gary,

I'm rocking and I love it. Thank you for the beautiful rocking chair.

L.P.

Gary,

In 1994 I bought this pecan rocker from you in Austin.

I want you to know it has brought many hours of pleasure to our family over these last 10 years. Every time I sit in it I find myself looking at the exquisite craftsmanship and fine detail which has set you apart and far above the furniture industry in quality. I am a very happy customer.

This particular chair was one you used in brochures and ads. It looks now as good as the day you last laid hands on it.

Thanks for your dedication to fine furniture making which you have elevated to an art.

G.E.

Hi Gary,

I received the chair yesterday. My wife is ecstatic. The chair is exquisite, a work of art. The confidence and pride you have in your work is truly apparent. Excellence is obviously the only acceptable outcome.

My 85 year old grandmother spent five months knitting a beautiful blanket for her soon to be born great grandchild. When I placed the chair in the baby's nursery, my wife hung the blanket over the back of the chair. The craftsmanship in the blanket and the craftsmanship in the chair seem to compliment each other.

Regards,
S.P.

Gary,

The chair arrived without problems. It is absolutely beautiful . . . as advertised. Everybody is taken with it. I would like to place my order for one made of mesquite, as we discussed. R. and I got to rock in it together for the first time today. She seemed to like it a lot . . . but she will not be able to tell you for a few years.

Thanks, Again for the great chair.
S.J.

Gary,

She is very appreciative and excited with your fine craftsmanship. My mom seems to like it very much. I can't wait to see it the next time I come to visit. All went well and I thank you for your service. I do appreciate it very much. Have a nice week.

Respectfully Yours
K.P.

Gary —

I am thrilled with the chair! It arrived in perfect condition (not even a mark on the box) and was very easy to unpack. My husband (who is 5'9") and I (at 5'2") have both found the chair to be comfortable as well as beautiful. Thank you!

L. B.

Dear Gary,

Thank you for the rocker! I shall enjoy every moment in it!

Scott enjoyed meeting you and your son . . . Thank you for devoting yourself to the gift of design and woodcraft and excellence and marketing — so that your joy and my joy in what you have created could meet.

Grace and Hope to you and all those you love and serve,
T. H.

She is absolutely delighted with it, Gary. It's beautiful, comfortable, and useful. Thank you very much.

A.S.

Hi Gary

Your rocker arrived last night. Here is their reaction:

GORGEOUS heirloom piece!!

Craftsmanship is SUPERB!!!!

Wood is BEAUTIFUL — you cannot imagine the beauty of it!! Back comfort makes you fall asleep . . .

All triple A -PLUS!!

Sincerely,
E.L.

Gary,

Once again our expectations are exceeded! The chair is absolutely gorgeous. The subtle figuring in the maple seat is a natural work of art. Only problem now is that everyone in the house wants their own Gary Weeks Rocker. Thanks again and I am sure we will be in touch.

Best Regards,
T.G.

Gary,

There's darn little of it in this old world!!! I defy any being of human origins to set in one of your masterpieces and not feel better about themselves and those around them. Many folks never get an opportunity to own a piece of art much less recline in same. In my home I have many pieces of furniture that brings great joy to my heart for no other reason than just looking at them. I have one desk that survived the Civil War and numerous other maladies and yet it is paled in comparison to the sheer warmth and comfort of your team’s touch.

I have a friend who puts the inner parts of his soul in his paintings. When I compliment his work he merely says I am just a painter . . . My reply is so was Michaelangelo! If the old master ever made furniture he would now have a peer in the Weeks Rocker . . .

Thanks for bringing back to your customers the love of quality . . .
R.K.

Got the chair. Mom, dad and baby all love it. It is so substantial and beautiful and I love the feel of the wood. Looking forward to seeing how it ages. The best part: major reduction I was getting from nursing, the lower back support is key!
Thanks a lot.
Nice doing business with you.
Have a great summer.

P.L.

Gary,

I just put a note and check in the mail to you for another mahogany rocker. C. decided that it would take months for you to build another rocker and she'd miss a summer's worth of rocking — so this will be a great surprise.

The rocker looks and feels great — many thanks for the great work.

I have attached a picture of two very satisfied customers. FYI — the picture was not staged. As soon as I took the chair out of the crate both girls made a b-line for it.

Thanks again,

T.K.

Hello Gary,

Yes, the rocker arrived yesterday and was as beautiful as the photos that your son sent me. The rocker is a perfect fit for both my wife and me. I can't thank you enough for allowing us to purchase the one off your floor. Preparing for an adopted child is always a challenge (there's never enough time), and you have helped to make the transition a lot smoother!

Thanks again and regards,
K. and J.B.

It is beautiful. Thanks.

— S.Y.

Gary,

. . . The chair is very beautiful and Ellen (who is due in just a couple of weeks!) spends a lot of time rocking happily in it. And just to see how true to life your advertising is, we had our own 6'4" friend come by and sit in the chair — he was every bit as comfortable in it as Ellen is.

Thanks again,
D.M.

The chair is beautiful. My wife has already appropriated it. She says that I'll have to order another one. Also, she says that she wants a Harris Stool. I'd like to order one, in cherry. Many Thanks. One last thing — my wife says that when we have company, we will have to install one of those number dispensers (like at some delis) at the door of the study — where the rocker now lives.

M.C.

Hi, Gary.

Your timing was perfect! The rocker arrived on Friday, April 23, and H. made her appearance two days later (a week early). I am sending you a photo of K. and H. in the rocker. Both K. and her husband M. (who does his share of rocking and singing to the baby) pronounce the rocker incredibly comfortable, as well as beautiful. They are really thrilled with it, as am I. (Yep, I did some rockin' too!)

Thanks so much for all that you and your fellow chairmakers did to create this special piece.

Kind regards,
K.B.

Dear Mr. Weeks:

My cherry rocking chair arrived yesterday. Crate was in good shape. The chair and stool were in great shape. They are both wonderful! My husband says that they are two pieces of furniture that we will never have to dust due to frequent usage. I love them.

Thank you,
C.W.

Dear Gary,

It's really disappointing to have to ask you to take your beautiful hand finished rocking chair back, but my wife's anatomy is just not right for it. We're not really surprised; as a child M. was diagnosed with scoliosis and her spine has quite a pronounced curvature, which doesn't quite fit your chair. I find it wonderful, but unfortunately our living room isn't large enough to accommodate a rocker she can't use. When the chair arrived I called over our friend who is on the faculty at the School of American Craftsman at Rochester Institute of Technology, a studio furniture designer himself. The styling and the workmanship are "studio furniture" quality. That's why I'm so disappointed I won't be able to keep the chair.

I appreciate your taking full responsibility for the cost of returning the chair by freight. The screw-together packaging was easy to reassemble and the chair is ready to ship.

Sincerely,

R.R.

Hi Gary,

I wanted to let you know we received the rocking chair yesterday and it is lovely. And comfortable. We appreciated getting it so soon, knowing that you must be very busy with others' orders. We thank you for the gift of careful craftsmanship, something my husband and I value highly.

sincerely,
M.L.

Gary

thanks so much!
we love y/our new rocker and stool!
everybody who sees it comments on how beautiful it is
all who sit in it are amazed at its' comfort
my wife has even suggested a second
please thank all who worked on the pieces

all the best,
J.F.

Thanks very much Gary I appreciate it.

As for the rocking, my wife has been using the chair periodically to get comfortable in the late stages of the pregnancy. She still has 2-3 weeks to go.

Thanks again for such a lovely product, this type of craftsmanship seems to be lost in today's society.

Regards,

B.S.

Gary,

The rocker arrived safely on Friday. My wife is very happy with it. We've been looking for a rocker for her for a while, but couldn't find one at the right quality and price. Now we have - and we're very pleased.

Regards,

S.B.

Yes Gary the chair has arrived and my wife really does love it. It arrived on Tuesday and I have been so busy we just unpacked it last night. I received it and reviewed the packaging which was in great shape. The chair is in fine shape as well. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship especially with regard to the attention paid to the grain in the wood and how it all came together in the construction of the chair. As you had promised and we expected this will be one of the highly cherished parts of our family for many generations.

Thanks so very much,

B. and K.S.

Thanks for your note. Yes, it did arrive safely. D. used it last night when she was nursing and said this morning that she loved it — it was so comfortable compared to the chair she had been using.

Good job!!!

Thanks so much for your good works.

K.T.

Gary,

The rocker is beautiful, also very comfortable, thank you very much for the quick turnaround. And yes, my wife loves it as well.

Regards,

R.S.

Dear Gary,

The rocker arrived safely to my place this morning, delivered by Menlo. It took me quite a while to unwrap the sophisticated crate since my Philips screwdriver is purely manual. Also to get around the crate in a small apartment and to dispose of it was somehow arduous, but now it's done. My first impression: it is as beautiful as I expected looking at the booklet. At first glance I was surprised by its faint color. Then I remembered it would darken with daylight. In your opinion how long should it take, although I am not in a hurry. I admired the complex design of the wood in particular in the seat assembled with several different pieces of wood. I had also a look under the seat. All the surfaces are soft and it's a pleasure to let your fingers run on it. I like the feeling of wood under the hand.

I did not have yet much time to try it, but the first feeling is comfortable, I wanted a chair where you can put your head on. Give me now a few days to use it.

So that's it: I am (for the time being) the only owner of a Weeks Rocker in France! Funny feeling! Some kind of celebrity!

Best regards
M.W.

Got it Friday (before the baby). It is beautiful and as comfortable as you promised and then some, we just love it.

Thank-you!
C.K

Gary,

The rocker arrived at our Lynden dock Christmas eve morning, and I picked it up later that morning.

The box it came in was damaged, but the rocker was fine.

The rocker is a work of art, and it is comfortable.

Thank you.

Best,
M.C.

Gary,

She loved it . . . thanks for helping me make a great Christmas for my special girl.

P.D.

Gary,

Yes, the rocker arrived. Too bad I had to leave soon thereafter, first to India and then to Bahrain where I am now.

Here is my (revised) vision of Paradise: A Gary rocker, a fireplace, a nice view and perhaps a glass of wine. No other furniture! That rocker of yours certainly dominates space. It is just beautiful. And it is comfortable!

Regards,

E.

The chair arrived Friday about five in the afternoon.

Though I read the dimensions, it is much bigger than I imagined. It arrived in perfect condition. The workmanship and the wood are beautiful. We are testing it out this week.

Thanks for writing. I'll respond again Friday morning.

December 12, 2003

Gary,

At home, I find myself in the rocking chair reading, watching tv (rare for me), talking on the phone, etc. I can't believe how comfortable the chair is. Comfort definitely takes precedence over size. The chair is definitely a "keeper."

Thank you.
A.G.

Hi Gary,

I was in SC for Thanksgiving and got to see the rocker in person. It is perfect and I couldn't be happier with it. Thank you and your artisans for such fine craftsmanship.

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first child in May and I know the wee one will spend many hours being rocked to sleep in the cherry rocker.

I hope to make it to your shop in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again and I hope your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving,
B.T.

Hello Gary,

Happy holidays to you and yours in Wimberley. Our new cherry rocker is doing very well, it is well-used and well loved by both the new baby and the new mom. In fact, I rocked the baby to sleep in the chair just yesterday.

I'm writing primarily to make a suggestion about your website that might help sell a few more rockers. I bought our rocker after finding the web site through Google and spending many hours reading the entire site and looking at all of the pictures multiple times. It would have helped me to make the decision if I could have seen even larger versions of the great photos you have on the site.
[C., I hope we get to it. Thank you. Gary]

C.H.

Gary,

I love the looks of my rocking chair . . . I hope someday to be given an opportunity to sit in it. My wife has apparently decided it is intended for her exclusive use. Every visitor has to try it and all rave about the quality of the work, especially the finish. I'll be ordering again soon.

J.M.

Gary,

Just got home and unwrapped the bubble wrap. (My wife was kind enough to let me do the unveiling.) Gorgeous was the first word that came to mind. Your workmanship is truly lovely and the one concern I had — the mesquite pattern would be too busy — turned out to be totally unfounded. I am SO GLAD I treated myself to that wood.

Your creation immediately took over the corner next to the fireplace in the bedroom. It sits next to an adobe accent wall under a recessed light that has a dimmer. It is at the moment under a 1/3 power dimmer . . . glowing.

Thank you very much. I intend to get a LOT of pleasure out of your creation and pass it on with delight to whoever the hell lasts longer than I do. I know the chair will :).

Best,

B.S.

Hi Gary,

Love the motion! Love the wood — especially the way it was harvested! . . . Love the chair! And great timing too :-0

Thank you for your help and beautiful workmanship!

D.W.

Hi Gary,

It is so nice to finally write you after silently getting to know you via your e-mails to Chris. I often feel it is difficult to get to know someone thorough writing, but we both feel that, through this huge venture, we have gained a friend. Your genuine spirit could be felt with every e-mail written and now that we have your beautiful rocking chair here, we will miss the frequent correspondence we've so looked forward to. Hopefully it doesn't have to end and we can continue writing every so often.

Gary, I knew that your rocking chairs were made with precision, hand-made care, and were beautiful just by reading your well organized website. But when opening the huge box to slide the chair out, my mouth completely dropped. Your work is phenomenal and I was speechless. The design, color, documentation, signature inscription, incredibly, smooth finish, etc. were more than I expected. The tender loving care that you and your company gave to making and shipping this chair was/is felt the minute one goes to touch it, let alone sit in it. I know that this heirloom will be much enjoyed for the years to come by the three of us (we just found out that we are pregnant!). Thank you, Gary, for your superior work. You are certainly an artist and we are lucky to have found you.

Hi Gary,

Now it's C. writing, what can I say that C. didn't already perfectly express? The chair is just gorgeous! We had no problems with the shipping, everything went very smoothly, and the chair arrived in perfect condition, safely and securely crated. It is clearly a work of art and I know it will fit very nicely into our home. What surprised me most was when I touched the chair and first sat in it. The finish is amazing! I did not believe wood could be worked to such a fine finish. And it is also very comfortable! Both C. and I have had only limited time up till now to enjoy it, but every time we sit in it we are surprised at how comfortable it is without having to use any cushions. I noticed in particular that if I sit up straight with my rear against the back of the chair then it gives me a wonderful even support of my entire back that feels very nice. I believe I can easily fall asleep in your rocker!

Thank you Gary! We will keep in touch!

Your Friends,

C. & C.

Gary,

I couldn't thank you enough. She, and everyone that attended the shower, absolutely loved it. I think every woman at the shower had to take her turn sitting in the rocker. It is truly a work of art. Several veteran mothers commented on the design features that must apparently make breastfeeding while rocking a much more comfortable experience — I wouldn't know. Notably, I heard the height of the armrests and the back support as being the most well thought-out design features for the chair. I'm sure some of them will be checking out your website as I had repeated it enough times throughout the party.

I guess I'll be talking to you again in the next few years. We are planning to have another baby and I would like to pass the chair on to each child as an heirloom.

Thanks again for your excellent craftsmanship. It's a rare thing these days.

E.D.

Gary,

Yes — the chair was delivered on Friday, and all was in order. I gave it to her on Saturday evening, and she was actually surprised — and extremely pleased. It is probably is the best gift I ever gave her. Thanks for your help in making it possible. It is a truly beautiful (not to mention comfortable) piece of work!

Dear Gary,

After speaking with Austin about unpacking (the bottom part of my crate was missing and so were the eight screws and arrows), I welcomed my cherry Weeks Rocker to its new home tonight. It seems not to have minded that bit of crate because it looks perfect! It is as beautiful and comfortable as I hoped and exactly as your other customers have described.

Thank you very much for creating such a lovely piece of furniture. It has been a pleasure speaking with you and I will enjoy your craftsmanship for many, many years.

Yours truly,


M.

Hi Gary,

The party and rocking chair was a big success. R. was surprised and very touched and all present were awed by the beauty of the chair, taking turns sitting in it or just touching it. It really is a work of art. Sunday it was all R's . . . he watched football, read the paper, and just smiled. So thanks for your very special part in R's 50th birthday. You feel like family and perhaps we will meet someday.

Warmly,

R.A.

Gary,

Thanks very much for the note. The rocker and stool were delivered last Thursday. Lisa is absolutely delighted. We love the style and craftsmanship of both pieces. She also really enjoys the Wimberley connection.

We will enjoy rocking with our Grandchildren and telling about the '42 skills of their Great-Great-Grandmother W. decades from now.

Thanks again,

J.H.

Gary —

"Like" is an absolute understatement. We love the rocker and stool! While H. and I were confident that the furniture would be all that we hoped for, we were somewhat apprehensive since neither one of us had ever made such an investment on something we could not actually see or touch. So when the rocker and stool arrived last week, I was so nervous with excitement and anticipation. Needless to say, when I pulled the rocker out of the box and nervously pulled away the bubble wrap out came the most beautiful furniture I have ever seen. Your craftsmanship is unrivaled. The cherry wood is perfect.

Although I could barely resist, I put the rocker and stool in our living room and waited for H. to come home that evening so she could be the first to sit in the chair. When she did, tears of joy appeared on her smiling face. Like her grandmothers before, H. has always loved rocking chairs and now she has her very own.

Since this was an anniversary gift to H. — our first — I have set the bar at a level, thanks to you, I may not be able to maintain. I will certainly try though.

Thanks again for the wonderful rocker and stool as well as your excellent customer service.

We will be back!

Gary,

Everything with Overnite worked out fine. We received the rocker on Thursday morning, and it is truly beautiful. Thanks so much for everything . . . we are looking forward to many years of enjoyment.

Many thanks . . .

E. and B.D.

PS . . . Don't be surprised if you have a surge of orders from the Northeast over the next year or two . . . everyone who has sat in the rocker has asked "Who made this and how can we get one!"

Mr. Weeks,

Got the rocking work of art today. You shoulda seen my 40 week preggo wife. Thanks again.

The J. Family

Gary,

It's here; it's beautiful; I may never get up. Thanks so much. They delivered it to ND on Monday, but took it to central receiving . . . delivered it this morning, still in the bubble wrap and without a scratch.

I love it. Thanks.

T.

Good evening Gary,

Just wanted you to know that my beautiful rocker arrived this evening. It is in fine shape and I am very pleased. Thank you very much for all the work.

K.E.
