From the first moment I sat in a Gary Weeks rocking chair, I knew I wanted one. I'd never sat in a solid wooden rocker that felt so comfortable, rocked so smoothly and gave me such a sense of being held so safely! It was even more astonishing that people of different heights and body builds said the same thing: "this chair FITS me"! I ran into members of the Weeks family business at various regional shows through the years, so I kept being reminded of how much I wanted one. I'm embarrassed to say how many years I waited to follow through on this promise to myself, but this year for Christmas I finally bought one! I am so very happy to have this beautiful, comfortable, and superbly-crafted hand-made furniture gracing my home at last.
As an added bonus, I live close enough to Wimberley that I was able to pick up my new chair in person. I am so glad I did! I got to meet Gary and one of his sons, and tour the woodworking shop. As a fellow woodworker, I am in awe of the shop - from the custom jigs, the workflow layout, the dust collection slides and gates - just all of it. But the best part was listening to Gary tell about the evolution of the tools and the process. It was a real treat for me that just adds to my appreciation of the actual chair. I know not every buyer is able to have this kind of bonus experience, but if you are in the area, call ahead and ask if a tour is possible. Even if you're not a woodworker, if you like seeing how things are made, a shop tour is well worth the time and effort.
Now, if only we could get airlines to use Gary's comfortable seat design….

You folks down there in Texas make good stuff. I’ll be plugging your chairs to anybody that’ll listen. I’m not all that influential though, so I wouldn’t expect much of a surge in business (not that you need it 😊). Keep on Rocking!

Table arrived and is so beautiful. Great design, excellent selection of wood, and exudes 'made with love'. Many thanks and best wishes for the entire family this holiday season and coming year.

Two beautiful rockers arrived on our porch in perfect condition this afternoon. We are blown away! The craftsmanship and wood are fantastic, and the engravings came out great. It will be hard to part with them on Christmas day.
Thanks again for all the great work to you and all your colleagues at Weeks and Co.

I couldn’t be happier with my 2 purchases. Exceptional quality build and execution. Also the shipping packaging was very well done.
AND… it’s extremely comfortable to rock in.

Yes, the footstool arrived here and we are already enjoying it and will continue to enjoy it for many years to come. As usual, the construction is amazing; it’s a beautiful piece of furniture.
All the best to you and your amazing craftsmen.

Gary,
Hi - thank you very much for the note! I was very happy that my wife and I were able to visit the studio and meet Austin and Autumn.
I’m rocking in the chair right now - it’s fantastic!
Thank you, again -

Dear Gary and staff,
I just received my Walnut rocker yesterday in perfect condition. I knew from my research I would receive a really good rocker. When it was unpacked, my breath was taken away. It’s a really excellent rocker. The execution is flawless. The transition of the parts is exceptional. You have really exceeded my expectations. As an amateur woodworker, I can only dream of ever getting that good at what you guys do. Last but not least, it is the most comfortable rocker I’ve ever sat in. Keep up the fabulous work.

Austin,
I have not a shred of doubt that your furniture will stay with us for life and will serve us just as the rocker has for the past 13 years (by the way, it looks better with time). And the way we got here, you and us, was a rewarding experience. It is not just a table and four chairs one can buy somewhere off the shelf; it’s a member of the household now.
On a lighter note, thanks for the circles around the screws on the crating. They made the unpacking much easier. And it is a pity that you could not see those who passed by when I was undoing the crating: obviously, I had to do it in the street as there was no way of carrying the wooden box up a flight of stairs that separates the street from our door. Nobody asked the question but I could unmistakably read it in their faces: what on earth can possibly be inside?
Sure, do use any of my quotations although your furniture needs no advertising.
Austin, it was a real pleasure. Please do extend my regards to your father and our thanks to everyone who worked on those items.
Best wishes

Hi Gary,
We truly love the chair- it’s perfect and the wife has already ditched me on the couch for the rocker. Hopefully our cabin will be finished in a year’s time and we can move it there or maybe just buy another one from you!…Thank you again! We really appreciate the expertise and care it takes to create these wonderful chairs.
Best,
