The van just left and our house now looks like a home with a real dining table and chairs and the rocker in the living room. No more card table and garden chair. We will send some photos soon. Many thanks again for your beautiful craftsmanship.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

I have received my rocking chair. I love it!! All I can say is WOW.

The wood is so smooth to the touch that we can't keep our hands off of it. The chair is so comfortable. I sit in it for 3–5 hours a day while teaching school to my 7 children. I must admit that there have been arguments over whose turn it is to sit in it. I love the craftsmanship as well. I was skeptical about all the positive reviews, but not a one of them is wrong. Thank you! In fact my two oldest children are trying to decide if they should use their saved money to purchase a rocking chair instead of a car. They hope you stay in business for a long time since they want you to make all their furniture when they move out. They have spent all weekend looking at the products on your website. Hope that makes your day! . . .

Sincerely,
E.

Hello,

Yes, my chair and footstool did arrive and I have admired them all weekend. It is extremely comfortable and fits me perfectly! It is the nicest rocker I have ever had the opportunity to sit in. And I like the color — from the photographs it looks like there are quite a variety of shades in the walnut. The walnut rocker on the website is a dark color while some of the email pictures were quite a bit paler with more of a yellow tint. So this one is very nice. I also like how there is almost an iridescent quality to the grain so it is quite an artistic and interesting chair to look at, as well as being so comfortable.

Thank you very much for the beautiful chair,

Hello Gary and Leslie —

The rocker was delivered yesterday. The box was in reasonably good condition; the edge guards are brilliant. The delivery guy and I opened the box and removed the chair but did not unwrap it. Everything looked undamaged and I signed for it. I unwrapped it this morning and brought it inside. It is beautiful; an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. I sat on it and immediately smiled because it is exactly as described on your website. Every surface is perfect. It is so comfortable. I was mostly unsure about there being only 4 slats in back but my concerns were unwarranted. I am looking forward to a rainy day to sit there by my window and read a good book, not that I won't be enjoying it on nice days, too.

Thank you,
M.

Hi Gary,

I have been meaning to write to you for several days . . .

The table and chairs were delivered as promised without incident. All packing appeared to be intact from your preparation.

We just love the table and chairs. They are so beautiful. Your blending of fine craftsmanship and elegance stand out. The chairs compliment your rocking chair that is nearby.

Thank you for caring to create such fine furniture.

Gary,

I hope you are well. A couple of folks around here think the bench is the most comfortable seating we've seen from your shop. That is saying quite a piece.

All the best,

Dear Gary,

They are perfect! Thank you so much — we could not be happier.

Also, what a treat to have them arrive in boxes decorated with the children's artwork on the top. How adorable!

Thank you again for our beautiful and so comfortable bar stools!

Best,

Hi Gary,

I was just cleaning out my email and found this from you, coming up on 10 years ago! We still love the rocker and I enjoy and admire it on a daily basis. Thank you so much for what you do!

Best,

Gary,

Yes, we received the box decorated by a grand daughter (I presume) containing a remarkable creation . . .

We had you ship the cherry rocker to us in KS, as we plan to carry it with us as we travel next week to NY for a family gathering with J and S (the recipient). This will afford us the luxury of watching their response to its arrival in their lives in person.

And, that will be a delight!! The decorated box will be opened to a marvelous creation. Well conceived, the execution was flawless with a reverence for the material. The idea of the many days of sun and rain and snow in the growing of a tree(s) to produce the wood that your capable hands crafted into an instrument (a thing of beauty in itself) that S. will slowly introduce another being into the rhythms of existence in . . . let the music ebb and flow . . .

So, though I took a week to acknowledge my reaction to your work in hopes of getting the words right, it boils down to a simple Thank You. My admiration and respect to you and your son and your crew for sharing beauty with us and those who follow us.

Till then . . . may the gods grace you all with health and well being
