Gary,

We are already loving them! We are using the two in the temporary apartment, and the other two are safely boxed and awaiting the completion of the new home. I will be sure to send you some pictures once they find their new home near the dining room chairs. We so appreciate the fine work you do and will be proud to have them in our new place. Our door is always open as well!

Hugs,

Hello Gary,

I just landed in NYC from London to your kind note. Thank you. L. and I enjoyed meeting you and Leslie and our time together with Austin. I wish you could have met my older son Z. who toured the workshop at the start of the process. As a new college freshman pursuing engineering management, he was inspired by the intersection of form and function as well as the aspect of a family business all present in your company. L. has often mentioned the machines he saw which is notable as he is a deep thinker who has an economy with words.

I am thrilled with the chair and it is truly worthy of the occasion which I failed to mention — my 26th wedding anniversary. I have included three pictures below. Austin has a gift for selecting and bringing out the figure and grain and I found the chair to be as comfortable as it is beautiful. It is a fine compliment to my historic desk and a great conversation piece for our new home. I could not be more pleased and it is especially meaningful that this comes from a family in our town. Thanks one and all for all they did to make this heirloom a welcome addition to our family.

PS – please feel to post these photos per your newsletter in the "Patron Photo" section and enter us in the drawing. It was a pleasure to read of your company and milestone. Keep the letters coming. Again, thanks!

I was away for work and a friend was at the house Monday to sign. So I saw them last night and I love them. They are truly a work of art.

Thank you!

They are gracing our dining room kitchen bar counter as we speak! Beautiful. Thank you!

Oh man!, they are perfect! You know how you see something and it brings you peace??? This is perfection for me — I know that Lou's children will be very thankful.

Thank you, sincerely

Hi Gary –

I've had my set of chairs for a few months now, and I've been meaning to get back to you, and this is as good a time as any.

The chairs are fabulous. The design, construction and finish are flawless. They are just what I was looking for. I only have a few friends who can tell a good chair from a bad chair, but the ones who can have picked them out right away. I'm proud to have them at our table.

We've had a bunch of dinners with friends and family around our big table since we got the chairs. Good company, good food and good conversation are the centerpiece of our home, and sitting in your chairs while I watch a pleasant evening unfold has made many evenings even more pleasant.

You do good work. Thank you.

When we found out Ramona was pregnant in 2005, I went on a hunt for the perfect rocking chair. I found Gary Weeks and Company Furnituremakers.

They made the audacious claim that if it wasn't the most comfortable chair you had ever sat in, send it back, they'd pay shipping both ways.

When the crate finally arrived, it, the crate, was built better than most furniture I've ever seen. The chair itself is beyond compare. It's elegant, and solid. It rocks beautifully. And I spent many a night rocking my daughter to sleep in it.

And yes, it's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. And it's one of the most beautiful things I own. It will be in the family for generations.

I DID get the chair on Wednesday. It arrived in perfect shape. It's beautiful and I am enjoying rocking. The felt strips on the rockers were unexpected and are a very nice touch.

You asked me earlier where I heard about the Weeks rocker. I have vague memories of having seen it in the Whole Earth Catalog. Whether my memory is correct or not, that probably gives you a good idea of my age.

Thanks again for the beautiful chair and for your excellent service.

Best wishes,
