Good Morning Austin,

My walnut rocker arrived in Sisters, Oregon yesterday in perfect condition.

When I ordered this rocker, I told you that I had a very bad lower back and there was a good possibility that the chair wouldn't work for me. You said that it wasn't a problem and that if the chair wasn't comfortable, I could send it back for a refund.

My purpose in writing you today is to tell you that this chair is NEVER going to be returned. My wife was the first to sit in it. She sat down and said, "Oh My God, this is so comfortable." When I sat in it, I had the same thought.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon sitting in the chair marveling at how good it felt. The chair is beautiful. The chair is comfortable. What more could I ask for?

Thank you for making this chair for me.

Sincerely,
D. S.

Thanks so much, Gary. I love the workmanship that goes into your rocking chairs. And I'm so happy that I came by and chose such a special rocker. I will rock along for years to come. God has plenty of work for me! I'll keep on keeping on . . .

Until next time!

Hello Gary Weeks and Company!

I purchased one of your rocking chairs back in 1998 right before the birth of our first child. In fact, it's rocker #341. I am so proud of my chair and LOVE sitting in it! In fact, it's in our bedroom, so I look at it every day!! When we have guests visit, I make sure they sit in it and you know what they always say? Well, you guys know! "It's so incredibly comfortable!!!" So, you know we are huge fans of your work!

. . . And Gary, I called you about a year ago, looking for a Texas woodworker who made wooden urns — not sure if you remember me. You gave me a number that lead me here and there, but we eventually finally found someone in the Austin area. He handmade us a beautiful urn for my father-in-law's ashes.
It sits on a shelf in our living room and it is such a beautiful and special piece. So, thanks for helping us find someone!

Regards,
K. L.

I just wanted to send you an extra email to tell you how much I enjoy the table and chairs. When I sit in them, the word that comes to mind is "hug". I just feel cradled in these chairs. I have a very large friend and she loved her chair as well, the one WITH the arms! W. said completely out of the blue as we were sitting one day, "This is a FANTASTIC table" as he smoothed his hand over it. And I love telling the story about how I found you again after so many years!

Just wanted you to know :-) Feel free to use whatever you want in what I say as a testimonial.

All the best in the meantime,

Hello Gary, indeed, both chairs were delivered in perfect condition. Moreover, I am VERY pleased. I haven't been this comfortable sitting for as long as I can remember.

I have since shared links to your website with friends who I think might be interested.

Thank you so much Gary Weeks and Company!

Gary, The chair is indeed here. I have gone from a couch potato to a rocking chair tomato. Not only is it more comfortable than I expected (and I expected a lot considering your guarantee) but it is even more beautiful than its picture. Sometimes I have to decide whether to sit in it or look at it.

Peace,

Thank you for opening up your shop and showroom to us last Friday the 24th. We very much appreciated seeing the process of your fine furniture making. My brothers and I get together once a year and visit a workshop of a master craftsman. You could call us wood enthusiasts and avid woodworkers and have an appreciation for skills such as yours.

Last year we visited the legendary Sam Malouf's' showroom and shop in California. Mr. Malouf's work sets the gold standard for beauty and honoring the wood. The Gary Weeks furniture is equally spectacular. There are a few dramatic differences though. The Malouf rocker has graceful, fluid joints with a lounge–like sloping back but joints connecting lower legs to rocker were weak and some were cracking from the stresses of use. The Gary Weeks rocker by contrast had a more substantial joint design at the rocker and leg and was designed to be rocked in. We saw no evidence of joint stress in the Gary Weeks chairs or rockers. While the Malouf rockers are masterful works of art, the Gary Weeks rockers are masterpieces meant for everyday use and enjoyment.

Thank you, it was an honor to meet you and see your work.
