It was a pleasure working with you again—you truly make the entire process effortless. From the initial order through delivery, your communication was seamless and professional every step of the way.

The quality of the rockers is second to none. They have quickly become treasured gifts for our leadership team as members retire, and we’ve received many wonderful comments about them.

Thank you again for your excellent work and attention to detail. We truly appreciate it and look forward to working with you on future orders.

Best regards,

Hello Bela, Gary, Autumn, et al,

Received the chair today.  No problems with its condition, arrived safe and sound.  It’s a beautiful chair, and has been placed in our living room area.  I went through all of your construction steps as outlined on your website and can really appreciate the chair is a “work-of-art”!  Figuring on the wood is outstanding!!

Thanks for all your fine work,
G.

From the first moment I sat in a Gary Weeks rocking chair, I knew I wanted one. I'd never sat in a solid wooden rocker that felt so comfortable, rocked so smoothly and gave me such a sense of being held so safely!  It was even more astonishing that people of different heights and body builds said the same thing: "this chair FITS me"!  I ran into members of the Weeks family business at various regional shows through the years, so I kept being reminded of how much I wanted one. I'm embarrassed to say how many years I waited to follow through on this promise to myself, but this year for Christmas I finally bought one! I am so very happy to have this beautiful, comfortable, and superbly-crafted hand-made furniture gracing my home at last.

As an added bonus, I live close enough to Wimberley that I was able to pick up my new chair in person. I am so glad I did!  I got to meet Gary and one of his sons, and tour the woodworking shop.  As a fellow woodworker, I am in awe of the shop - from the custom jigs, the workflow layout, the dust collection slides and gates - just all of it. But the best part was listening to Gary tell about the evolution of the tools and the process. It was a real treat for me that just adds to my appreciation of the actual chair. I know not every buyer is able to have this kind of bonus experience, but if you are in the area, call ahead and ask if a tour is possible.  Even if you're not a woodworker, if you like seeing how things are made, a shop tour is well worth the time and effort. 

Now, if only we could get airlines to use Gary's comfortable seat design….

Two beautiful rockers arrived on our porch in perfect condition this afternoon.  We are blown away!  The craftsmanship and wood are fantastic, and the engravings came out great.  It will be hard to part with them on Christmas day.
Thanks again for all the great work to you and all your colleagues at Weeks and Co.

I couldn’t be happier with my 2 purchases. Exceptional quality build and execution. Also the shipping packaging was very well done.
AND… it’s extremely comfortable to rock in.

Thanks Austin.  It’s always been a pleasure to do business with you, and not only because of the quality of the furniture, but because of your business ethics and style.  It really is exceptional.

Austin,

I have not a shred of doubt that your furniture will stay with us for life and will serve us just as the rocker has for the past 13 years (by the way, it looks better with time). And the way we got here, you and us, was a rewarding experience. It is not just a table and four chairs one can buy somewhere off the shelf; it’s a member of the household now.

On a lighter note, thanks for the circles around the screws on the crating. They made the unpacking much easier. And it is a pity that you could not see those who passed by when I was undoing the crating: obviously, I had to do it in the street as there was no way of carrying the wooden box up a flight of stairs that separates the street from our door. Nobody asked the question but I could unmistakably read it in their faces: what on earth can possibly be inside?

Sure, do use any of my quotations although your furniture needs no advertising.

Austin, it was a real pleasure. Please do extend my regards to your father and our thanks to everyone who worked on those items.

Best wishes

Austin,

I am sitting at the table and on one of the chairs that were delivered this morning. When I saw the crating, I understood why you were somewhat dismissive of insurance. Great job.

I can hardly thank you enough for superb craftsmanship and excellent logistics. I know it was challenging. Who would ever thought that a Gary Weeks and Company trademark would be found right under a renaissance castle somewhere in the middle of Europe?

Thank you, Austin. It was a real pleasure to get back in touch.

Best wishes,
M.

Hello Gary,                                                       

A. and J. are delighted with the walnut Weeks Rocker and Harris footstool. They…describe these pieces as their best furniture. (High praise from a daughter familiar with traditional Virginia Henkel Harris and Maryland Statton furniture!) Austin, Autumn and your staff were wonderful to work with. Thank you for your hospitality…

Thank you for being there for us; what a great reflection on Texas!  

Best regards,
F. V.

Hi Gary

The rocker arrived in great shape, it’s absolutely perfect. The craftsmanship is outstanding. I’m so glad that I selected the American Walnut but I’m sure in any wood it would have been beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Regards
R.

Dear Gary,
…It was so wonderful seeing your shop…
Every piece you lovingly create has touched the earth in a profound way. The wood has been caressed by the wind, washed with the rain, traveled on by insects, supported nests, sung to by birds and crickets and smiled on by God. It traveled a lifetime to be enjoyed by you to become a part of countless memories in people’s homes. Parents rocking their newborns, seniors reminiscing their life while rocking and families gathered together at mealtime sharing life.
WOW! I truly love what you do!God bless you, your family and your business.
J.

Hi, I just wanted you folks to know again how much V. and I really like this rocker. It is a beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you very much. The other thing again is the shipping box. That's an amazing piece of corrugated engineering.

Dear “All who make this possible”
We just received our second shipment of dining room chairs, the first shipment being about a year ago. They are wonderful, along with the maple rocker we purchased last year.
My thanks and appreciation are directed at all involved in making such consistently beautiful creations. I speak as a retired farmer who knows the challenges of running a business as well as a beginning woodworker who know the challenges making something that I a proud to have in my house that has no screws holding it together!
Here is a list of my thanks, please let all the ones who had a part in the process know of my love for the excellence of their work.
Design beauty, flowing lines strength functionality
Wood storage all the difficulty involved
Wood selection and cutting for best appearance
The Shop, machines buildings maintained, and safety dust control
Consistency in parts matching
Skills at band saw, courage at table saw
Joinery amazing shoulder and dowel work
Gluing never a crack
Finish sanding and coats of finish, spotless
Care in handling, a ding at the end ruins a lot of work, as I know!
Culture of excellence requires skilled management and dedicated employees
Family continuity a tribute to family dynamics
Packaging
Great office correspondence
I feel love in your work.
I know I have missed someone, I apologize for that.
How we do what we do really does matter.
Yours,
L. B.

Gary,


We are so glad to hear from you.


J. delivered their first baby on the 19th of December. Your Weeks rockers are the most beautiful and comfortable rockers anywhere! One of the best touches we have had is to meet the gal who actually made the rocking chair and delivered the chair! Autumn delivered the chair on the way to her Thanksgiving holiday with family. I was surprised at how young she is and how accomplished she is in woodworking. She delivered a top quality rocker...


You have grown the business so much, I practically don't recognize you. Ken and I bought our rocker several years earlier when your website was a little older and a lot fuzzier in appearance. The website is so professional compared to back then. I first found you by searching the web for rocking chairs that fit both short and tall people. Our family has people from 5 feet to 6'3”...


I love the Weeks rocking chair and frequently have people sit in it just for the experience, because it is such a lovely experience. The balance of the rocker makes for a soothing rock instead of a store bought clunky rock that requires more force to keep it going and "jumps" halfway through the rock because it isn't balanced properly. (think the white porch rockers that are sold everywhere or the more expensive rockers in a furniture store--there is simply no comparison)


Again, your craftsmanship is superb!
Merry Christmas to your family and family of Gary Weeks & Company!
Blessings,C.

Dear Austin; I just want to let you know that Autumn delivered my rocker Saturday. What a nice and informative lady! She highlighted the graining of the wood as well as the felt pads on the rocker to protect the wood floor. I’m glad y’all thought of that! I couldn’t be more impressed with Weeks&Company. The service was great and the rocker was outstanding! The cherry wood is beautiful & the rocker is so designed to fit perfectly.It rocks the way I thought a rocker should but rarely found. In gratitude to y’all;D.H.

Thanks for your note, Gary.

While it was a leap of faith to purchase the chair, it has more than delivered on the promise made. I have enjoyed sitting in it each day since it arrived. I would not hesitate to recommend your work to a friend looking for a rocking chair.

Thx, D.

Your pieces are as much artwork as the drawings and paintings I have on the walls.

Hello, everyone! Our cherry rocker arrived today with approximately $500 worth of cardboard, tape and foam. It is beautiful. It must have taken as long to wrap it as it did to make it! Thanks for taking such good care of us. We sing your praises.
J.

Dear Gary and Austin,

It's been ten months and I just love your beautiful rocker! It is the finest piece of furniture in our home. Your communication, packaging, shipping were exceptional.

But the rocker! It's an absolute masterpiece.

Thank you,
M.K.

The chair arrived safely. It's beautiful - and my wife and I took turns last night enjoying it!

Thanks so much for creating a beautiful piece for us, for the good customer service and supervised shipping experience. It was all just great.

~P.
