Mr. Weeks and family:

After more than ten years of use, my /our rocking chair #926 is as comfortable, beautiful, and valued as ever. You may not recall, but I am the weirdo for whom you made a draftsman’s table out of maple with a beautiful birds-eye top. It also is as beautiful as ever. A few pen marks but great! I try to keep the top cleared of work so that I can enjoy its beauty. The construction of the drawer, dovetails front and back, draws oohs and ahhs whenever I show it to people. If I were an evangelist, I am not sure how many people I would have converted over the last ten years to your product. But I believe in Gary Weeks!

There can be so many interactions with people that can be depressing. I thought that I would send to you some good news.

Thank you.

Gary,

I did receive it. It is a beautifully crafted and comfortable barstool. I will be ordering a few more in the future.

Thanks,

Gary,

We got the rocker two days ago, and I've been meaning to e-mail you, but life keeps interrupting. Anyway, I'm a rocking chair snob, and I can truly say I've never sat in a better chair — rocker or not. It's beautiful. It's comfortable, and it's a true family heirloom. In fact, A. and I have decided that we'll buy Gary Weeks rockers for each kid who makes us grandparents, and then that will ensure there is no big fight over the chair when A. and I go to the Happy Hunting Ground.

Hope all is well with you, and we'll be back in touch.

Dear Gary,

The chair and table have arrived in perfect condition. We just finished unwrapping them (great job on that!) and I am sitting in the chair now. I have to admit, I was still a little anxious about the fit, but it is perfect!
Thank everyone who helped you turn out such a beautiful, restful chair.

Your fan,

Hi Gary,

We received our rocker and we are more than pleased by its comfort, beauty, and quality craftsmanship. We look forward to rocking the baby soon!

It arrived without a scratch. My husband said it was very well packed — there was a hole in the box, but the delivery fellow waited until he had unpacked it, and there was no damage. We both think it is beautiful and very comfortable.

Thanks,

Dear Austin and Gary,

I am so sorry for the belated expression of gratitude. Moving has been a bear, and I whole-heartedly echo my mom's words, but I should have added my own sooner!

The rocking chair and accompanying pieces are truly wonderful. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, and the wood immediately envelops a sitter in softness and warmth. My husband, Brian, and I are gearing up for many changes as we look forward to our first baby's arrival in September, and the rocking chair already offers a sense of comfort in our new world. We will treasure the chair, stool, and table as family heirlooms, and are so grateful to my parents and to you for providing pieces that will be passed down through generations.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Sincerely,
S.

Hi Gary.

The rocker did arrive and it is lovely. I love the wonderful smooth feel and the rounded curves.

At 5 feet tall, I am somewhat height challenged. I looked online at your stools, and I see the one that is meant for a footstool, but not for rocking. It is probably a little too high for my purposes. I'm wondering if it is possible or practical to make a small stool or box, perhaps 4–5 inches in height, that might add to the comfort somewhat. Is that something that you all can do, or are interested in doing? It's not essential, just something that I was thinking about.

Thank you so much for all your help. This is a wonderful chair. My whole family likes it.

Gary,

Are you keeping on going in good spirits? Do you still think of Thoreau whilst hoeng the beans? I do and the harvest will be good. Thanks again for the beautiful rocking chair.

It performs well. My kids are beginning to show interest. I am not living in a rocking chair community, it is roman catholic not anglican. We are having a cool and moist summer, almost everyday a monsoon-like thunderstorm, so the naked snail we imported from spain is multipling.

Greetings from Austria to you and your crew.
