Dear Gary,

We are ecstatic about our Weeks Rocker!!! You are a masterful furniture artist — it is simple, elegant and extremely comfortable. In fact, I've hardly been anywhere else but sitting in that rocker since it arrived on Tuesday. We will take some photos of how we are enjoying the rocker and promise to share a couple of them with you.

The shipment arrived on time and intact — excellent work!

Thanks again for the great customer service.

Fondly,
The A. Family

Hello Gary,

Thanks again for sending the felt pads, we received them today. I can now remove the unsightly blanket I put under the rocker.

When F. tore off the bubble wrap to expose the rich walnut wood we were all excited by what we saw. The wood grain and satin finish is sweet (OK exquisite). He thinks it's both comfortable and good looking. We are lucky to have one of your rockers.

F. said, "He plans to spend a lot of waking hours, as well as non-waking hours in the rocker".

Best regards,
M. and F.Y.

Dear Gary,

I can't thank you enough for bringing my "Katrina-soaked" Weeks Rocker back to it's original beauty.

Despite lying in 7 and 1/2 feet of Hurricane Katrina's flood waters for well over a week, I found my Weeks walnut rocker intact. Months after the flood I used soap and water to clean off a layer of dirt and mold from the rocker. I was amazed at how good the finish looked and how well the rocker held together. I appreciate the work you recently did to restore it for me.

I lost my home and virtually all of my possessions to Katrina's flood waters,
including a collection of Ethan Allen solid cherry furniture which just broke apart. So I am especially pleased with the quality and craftsmanship you put into your furniture that allowed my rocker to survive Katrina.

Sincerely,
J.P.L.

Gary, I can't thank you enough! The rocker is so, so beautiful and so, so comfortable. Husband C. sat in it first and promptly declared that it was "his," and we've had a lively (but friendly) tug-of-war about the chair ever since. We will truly treasure the chair, and it's been a great pleasure meeting and working with you. We'll come by to visit again when we are in Austin next year. Meanwhile, we send you our greatest gratitude and appreciation.

All the best,
R.K.

Gary,

M. called about the rocker last night. She and her husband are thrilled, and said it looks great in many different locations in their house. Thanks for steering me towards cherry.

Keep up the great work!

Gary,

I ate dinner in the Wilson. I have never dined in a chair that forced me into an ergonomically correct position. It's a totally different experience than slouching and squirming through a meal. Now that I see (or rather, feel) what you can do with comfort, I am not going to let you get away with anything less on the low-back chair. [ I sent E. a prototype of a low-back dining chair. As she says: I don't have it right yet. — GW ] In fact, I am sitting in my home office IN THE WILSON typing this — yes, I absconded with it after dinner, and my schoolhouse desk chair has been exiled to the hallway.

I'm truly glad to be helpful, Gary. If I had it my way, we would only cut our precious trees to produce furniture of uncompromising quality.

Hi Gary:

Yes, the rocker arrived right on time and in perfect condition. It's very nice and comfortable. My husband was impressed with the workmanship. I had no idea that ordering furniture from Texas was so easy. I wish I had done it sooner!

Thank you for your excellent service, and the lovely chair.

Regards,

Well, it was a busy day to say the least! We did receive the rocker today, and what a great looking rocker it is! Destined to be an heirloom, it all started today! Thanks to you, and your painstaking labors! Your talents and efforts were not in vain! I wanted to also, thank you for taking the extra time to make sure the rocker arrived properly. All is well at the W. household! Thank you again! Take care!
