Gary,

Hope all is well with your family. The table and chairs are great. Everyone can't believe how comfortable the chairs are. Thanks for all your help.

Yours truly,

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,

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.

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.

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,
