Hi Gary, the rocker arrived today in good condition. Very pleased with the comfort and beauty! I will send a pic in a moment when I figure out how . . .

Hi Gary,

The chair is just beautiful! and just as comfortable as it can be. It is now in front of the window so I can look at the water. I will take a couple of photos later today or tomorrow and send them on to you.

Thank you for your beautiful work.

Best regards,
N.

Hi Gary,

Didn't email as soon as the chair was delivered as we wanted to try it out and report fairly back to you. So far: The chair is more beautiful than any of your pictures. The chair is more comfortable than your description. Both your pics and write up are honest and excellent, just not what one experiences in real life. Thank you so much for taking the time, craftsmanship, and energy needed to create this chair.

I just received my rocker and I am very pleased! We bought the rocker as we are expecting our first child and know we needed something comfortable for the long sleepless nights. The packaging was well designed and not a thing left without lots of bubble wrap. I'm very impressed with the product, service, and shipping . . . and I'm a very tough judge! Thank you for this wonderful piece, we look forward to the many hours spent rocking in it!

Gary,

The rocker does pull you in. It seductively says give me a try. Have a seat. And when you do, you're in no hurry to get up.

Gary — I started life as an architect. So I did the whole design thing through school. My sophomore year we had to design and make furniture. I chose chairs and my prof said I was crazy. Well there were 4 chairs over the course of two semesters. One looked good but killed you when you sat in it. Two were just ok and the fourth was a winner. Chair design is very difficult and having given it a try I know how hard it is. Your rocker is a masterpiece. It seems to be body agnostic, that is, it doesn't matter how tall or wide you are, it is comfortable. Add to that great aesthetics and marvelous craftsmanship and it is a piece that is fought over in an estate settlement.

Before we're done, everyone in the family will be a proud owner of a Gary Weeks rocker.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Gary,

The chairs were presented last night and once the honorees got out of them, they were never empty!
Many people were asking where they came from so I hope you will get some Corpus Christi business!
They really are amazing quality and the finish is like silk — we all kept "petting" the arms! Thank you so much — all of the board was impressed with the choice.

Keep up the good work!
R.

It was. My wife absolutely loves it. Thank you so much! It's a work of art.

C.

Thank you so much for all you have done for my sister. The transition from your studio to their home went so well. They absolutely LOVE it. G. has already fallen asleep reading in it . . . all wrapped up in her blanket. I look forward to our paths crossing again. You and Austin made this a fun and warm project for our family.

Most sincerely,
C.

Hi, The rocker arrived this afternoon. Could hardly wait to get home and see it . . . I'm so proud of it, it's beautiful.

Thank you,
B.

Hello and Happy New Year!!

He's rocking in it now. As I expected, the chair was quite a surprise and an adjustment from what he was sitting in, but he's been in it every day since the 25th, with no complaints. In fact, he even said it's more comfortable than he expected it to be (this is a huge compliment from someone who does not receive gifts well AT ALL).

The delivery arrived without incident on the 22nd. I should tell you that the folks who brought it to me were very helpful unloading, unwrapping and even carting away the packing materials; I think they were eager to see what was inside! It's a beautiful chair, and I know that one day soon, I'll be ordering from you again . . . for me, in walnut!

Thank you so much for all your hard work.
I.

Hiya Gary,

My rocker was delivered today and I have to say it's the nicest Christmas present I've ever received (except for my Schwinn bike in 1973!). I'm sitting in it now. The first time I sat in it (right after it was unpacked) I started rocking and my first thought was, Now what was bothering me?

Many thanks.
S.

Hey Gary,

We got the chairs. They’re beautiful. The shippers did a good job. No problem with that. The joinery is superb. The finish is even better. They’re beautiful.

R.

We received our chair yesterday in perfect condition. It is beautiful and challenging to hide!!!
The driver/delivery man was very nice and helpful.
Thanks for a great experience. I'm so excited to give this to M. in eight days! He better not snoop!

Merry Christmas!
J.

The Rocker and Footstool arrived this morning. They are beautiful!! We will enjoy them very much.

Thanks a lot.
J. and S.

Gary,

The rocking chair arrived yesterday. Ray is so proud of it, I am very happy.

Happy thanksgiving.
J.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

You are an artist of the highest order. Your chair is a beautiful work of art, comfort, and style. I could not be more pleased were it made of gold . . .

Many, many thanks!
E.

Dear Gary,

Just wanted to thank you so much for the fabulous furniture. The furniture has been much admired by everyone who has seen it and we are so grateful to have these beautiful heirlooms in our lives. The chairs are so comfortable and elegant — I never tire of looking at them.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving . . .

Sincerely A.

p.s. the cats love the table too . . .

Gary,

My rocking chair arrived today and I love it! The design and wood are beautiful but the best thing is how it feels to sit in it! My husband is taller than me and the chair fits him as well.

Thank you for my wonderful chair!

Kind regards,
W.

Gary:

What can we say about the rockers and bar stools — they are stunning. We can feel the extraordinary craftsmanship every time we touch them and they are a dream to sit in. Thanks aren't enough. You must and should be so proud of the extraordinary work that comes out of your shop. — Loved the children's drawings on the boxes too — I guess everyone in the Week's family is part of the team. We will treasure them.

Happy Holidays to you and yours,
A.

It came yesterday, no issues. Fell asleep in it already!

D.

I have received the rocking chair and have begun using it for my sole enjoyment so far. It is very comfortable.

Thank You,
I.

Hey, thanks for the tour. I am enjoying the chair, I like just looking at it. Others in the family have complimented your design and craftsmanship. Guess the weather is about to get cool so put on your knickers.

G.

Hello Gary,

The chairs arrived and have all been unpacked and all are beautiful and come with NO damage.

Thank you,
T. and A.

Dear Gary,

We received our chair last Friday and it’s so beautiful and functional. I’m so excited to have it in the house. It’s currently on carpet, so it doesn’t rock as intensely as it would on tile or wood; for now, that’s the best place in the house for it.

Warm regards,
W.

It's wonderful. It's gorgeous and ridiculously comfortable, we LOVE it!! Thank you.

F.

Hi Gary,

We opened the rocker yesterday. It is gorgeous. As nice as you describe it and better. Ginny is delighted and as she sat and settled in the first time just kept repeating "Oh wow, oh wow". It looks big on her but she is comfortable and that is what counts. Your chair is a work of art and we are proud to have it in our living room. I expect it is a lifetime purchase.

J.

Dear Gary,

My name is M. and I am friends with L. I was lucky enough to be the recipient of the cherry rocker.

I want to let you know how much our families appreciate the work that you've done with each rocker. We thank you again for creating three works of art. We will cherish our rocker for many generations.

Best,
M.

Hi Gary,

I’m just writing to say thank you for the 3 Rockers that arrived safely yesterday. They are the most beautiful Rockers I have ever seen, and look like they have every chance of lasting for several lifetimes. As I had mentioned to you when I ordered the Rockers, they were to be cared for by 3 separate families who have been joined . . . I chose the Rocking chair because it represents the love between a mother and her child.

Please pass on our thanks to all who worked to make them and in particular to your Grandchildren and friends who designed the 3’s, they did a fabulous job and made the chairs extra special.

Many Thanks
I.

Dear Gary,

I am sitting in my beautiful rocker right now. It is so comfortable and the wood feels like satin. I Love It!! May stay on it all day.

I appreciate your personal attention & service and again am so happy with the rocker. It feels really good on my back & I like being able to put my head back zzzzzz

Yours truly,
D.

Gary,

The rocking chair and stool arrived in fine shape, and they are everything I hoped for and more. From the moment I sat down in it, my back said thank you. Its a beautiful piece of furniture which we will treasure and use for a long, long time. Thanks not only for the craftsmanship, but for the wonderfully solicitous service in getting it here.

All the best,
E.

He's extremely happy with the rocker.
Thank you very much for following up.

T.

Dear Gary,

I wanted to put a review on to your site, but this will have to act as a testimonial, because I am really pleased with everything we purchased from you.

I originally bought the rocking chair because I wanted a comfortable chair that had no upholstery, since I had two cats (enough said there). The chair was so comfortable that I purchased the dining room chairs as well. Also very comfortable. The design is a perfect fit to the human body. Now I have grand children and needed a stool to help them step up to the sink and such, but also for me to sit at their level without struggling up and down from the floor. Once again . . . the stool is perfect. Just the right height and sturdy, well balanced, so no tipping when a child stands on it, and very comfortable to sit on and rise from. The price is also half that of a similar piece I was considering from a local furniture maker. I am very pleased.

Regards,,
K.

Hello

My rocking chair just arrived. Gorgeous! Feels Wonderful! I am so pleased!
Thank you very much!

J.

Hello Gary, We are sorry we did not get to meet you as well. Austin was great helping us get loaded and on our way. When I finish moving things around in the kitchen and the door pulls go on I will send a photo. The bar stools now bring everything together as our cabinets are cherry as well. We love them! I¹m looking forward to winter by the fire in my rocking chair. You all do beautiful work. Thanks!

C.

Hi Gary,

The chair arrived last night. It is beautiful! And even more comfortable than promised! We are in love with it. The baby is due in just under 6 weeks. As we're setting up the nursery I am so happy to have this piece from our home state at the center.

Main Freight was great, they called when they were on the way and navigated our complicated building complex without complaining. The crate just fit through all of the doors and elevators. (In the photo you can see the crate arrived in great shape, and just fit inside our hall way! NYC apartments really put these things to the test!)

Thank you so much for this chair. We look forward to many rocking years.
Sincerely,
M.

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.
M.

Gary,

Yes the rocker arrived . . . its beautiful! We are very happy and telling everyone of the fine craftsmanship.
Maybe we can get you some more sales.

Have a nice day
A.

Gary,

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

Thanks,
T.

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.

T. and A.

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,
N.

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!

Thank you,
J.

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,
A.

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.

B.

It [a rocker] is beautiful and my wife loves it. A fine anniversary gift

W.

Dear Austin and Gary,

The crate arrived last Wednesday and B. was able to be home for that. Since the crate looked well intact they accepted the delivery but waited for us to arrive to open it.

We are all so thrilled with everything . . . the workmanship is awe-inspiring and the beauty of the wood is truly stunning. It is so comfortable and comforting to sit in the rocker . . . M. and I look forward to putting it to good use whenever we can visit . . . and I know S. and B. will truly enjoy it on a daily basis.

It is a family heirloom that will be appreciated and cherished. I'm not exactly sure how each piece is made (by one person, etc.) but a big THANK YOU to all involved. From the get-go Austin answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process . . . then Gary, as we know, did the same for us through the delivery process. (Austin, we hope you had a great vacation.)

— — — — — —

We are grateful for all your kindness, help, and care.

Sincerely,
C.

Hi Gary,

We received the maple rocking chair two days ago. It's very well made, and fits both me (5'2") and my husband (5'8") well. It looks and feels better than we expected.

The entire chair is very smooth to touch. The wood grain is really nice, and the finish has an interesting shimmering 3-D effect. My husband was expecting a really light color, like the mass-produced plain maple furniture. He was pleasantly surprised that your hand-rubbed oil finish has darkened the maple and the result is just the right color for us.

Overall, we are quite happy with your rocking chair. We'd highly recommend you to other people in the future.

Best,
F. & J.

WOW! Everything we had hoped for and more!

Thank you,
D. and J.

Austin,

The rocker arrived safely and was easily unpacked.

I am very happy with it, and wish to thank all of the Gary Weeks & Co. Furnituremakers for their work in helping to craft it. The quality of the workmanship and design is outstanding.

Best regards,
K.

Austin et al: The Rocker arrived safely this afternoon. The wrapping job was itself a wonder of wonders. The beautiful Rocker is simply a product of the most artistic minds and hands in the business of woodcarving. It is more beautiful than we imagined it would be. The grain of the wood takes on a surreal flow of curves and colorations, so much more intense than we thought it would be. No one could be more pleased.

Thank you all for your signatures, which makes this Rocker so much more to us than a piece of inanimate furniture. We enjoyed meeting you, and we will never forget your artistry.

Every good wish,
A. and S.
