Gary,

The rocking chair arrived yesterday. It's beautiful and looks to be in perfect condition after the trip. J. loves it and took pictures of it in the nursery to send to her sister and mom. You may or may not know, but there is a new trend for moms-to-be to get a "push" present. Your rocker has made a fantastic push present.

Thank you and happy holidays to you and your family.

D.G.

Gary:

Many thanks for your email. Let me start by quoting my 12 year old son, who said about 2 days after the chair arrived, "you know Dad, this is the first time in my life that I have ever looked at a piece of furniture and thought it was truly beautiful."

The chair arrived in perfect condition and is, as my son noted, truly beautiful. I have been sitting in it every chance I get (often to the consternation of my family members who would like me to do some other things around the house). I typically am quite methodical about making purchases, but this was an extreme example. I contemplated ordering a rocking chair from you for about ten years. I'm sorry I waited so long, but I'm also at a point when I can truly appreciate the effort that went into making it. I like it more every time I sit in it.

You make a remarkable finished product, of which you should be very proud.

Best regards,
J.H.

Gary,

Yes, I'm rocking in it right now and marveling at its comfort. Actually, we're fighting over it. Good job: craftsmanship, finish, design, service. Thanks.

Hello!

I just received my rocking chair and I could not be happier! The baby is due tomorrow so the timing was perfect. Thank you for your assistance and for such a lovely chair.

Warmly,
K.M.

Dear Gary Weeks,

The chair arrived on Monday and it is spectacular. The walnut is deep and luminous.

To be honest, I had wondered how a wooden rocking chair could be as comfortable as you and your customers claim. But it's true! The chair is comfortable to both me (I'm 5'11") and my husband (He's 5'8"). Even though it's made of wood, it's incredibly soft and supportive.

We are expecting our second child in a couple of weeks, and even at 9 months pregnant I can rock comfortably with our daughter, who's three. I'm so looking forward to nursing and rocking our baby, too.

You really do make a beautiful chair.

Thanks,
S.M.

Hi Gary,

We delivered the chair to our Birthday brother, and packaging protected everything. Is a beautiful chair, very comfortable, and something we would love to have for ourselves some day.

Thanks for making this whole process so pleasant and keeping us informed of options, and the progress.

Please take care,
P.D.

We love it. Thank you so much!

A.P.

Hello Gary, and everyone else at Weeks & Co.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for the rocking chair. It is as beautiful and comfortable as advertised! My wife is thrilled, and therefore I am happy :)

Thank-you so much.
R.C.

Gary,

Thank you so much! We love the beautiful chair and stool, and look forward to all our future years of happy rocking. They are so comfortable, good to touch, and elegant from every angle! We will treasure them. Your website is fantastic and gives a very true impression of the quality of your work, but the furniture itself really is more than we could have hoped for.

Gary,

The chair is perfect. My wife loves it. I plan to ask for one for me once our porch is finished.

Sincerely,
S.W.

Gary,

The rocking chair is absolutely great! It is very clear that it was made with a lot of care and attention to detail. Thank you very much for checking in!

Best regards,
G.R.

Hi Gary and Company,

The chair is wonderful! My wife and I are very pleased. It is an excellent combination of simple beauty, function, and comfort. Thank you!

PS. We are already thinking in terms of another rocker eventually and know exactly who to trust for such quality work and service.

W. & E.W.

Good afternoon Gary,

Our beautiful rocker arrived safely today. Hats off to you for the incredible attention to detail and workmanship!!! It's a beautiful and extremely comfortable rocker that we will enjoy for years and pass on to our children.

C.R.

Hi We received our chair today. I came home early today to be there for the delivery. The chair arrived in perfect shape and it is now "installed" in a place of honor in our living room. I was privileged to have the first session of sitting and rocking. The chair is so comfortable and fits me like it was custom designed just for me. The only chair I have ever sat in that is comparable was a Sam Maloof rocker at a Smithsonian exhibit a few years ago that was set up so visitors could sit in it. The workmanship is lovely, each joint perfect and the overall look and feel perfection. Thanks so much. I am looking forward to seeing how my wife M. likes sitting in the rocker. I hope she doesn't like it too much or we will have to order a second one!.

B.H.

Then later . . .

My wife M. loves the chair and thinks it is beautiful. You have heard it before I am sure but it is such a pleasure to buy something where you can talk to the "manufacturer". I am sure it is hard work but it must be fun to make something of beauty and practical value with your own hands. I am an aspiring woodworker and have made a few pieces so I appreciate how hard it is.

thanks again,
B.H.

Hi Aubrey,

The rocker arrived safe and sound and its principal user loves it. Many thanks for all your help.

Regards,
M.K.

Softest thing I ever sat in, to be so hard.

J.W.

Gary,

I hope to get one of these rockers for each of my 7 children when they have kids someday.

Thank you,
M.S.

Gary,

The rocker arrived on time and in perfect condition. It's beautiful and made a terrific birthday gift for my partner. Thanks for the great service you and your crew provided.

We're looking forward to using the chair often when our baby arrives in November.

Best,
A.B.

Gary —

The furniture was delivered yesterday at 4:00. The delivery men took care of unwrapping and setting up the table and chairs. Your work is museum quality. Each piece is a work of art that I will cherish and proudly pass on to my children. And, as advertised, the chairs are unbelievably comfortable.

Thank you,
D.S.

It's gorgeous, and superbly comfortable. What more could we ask for?

Thanks a bunch —
J. & R.S.

Howdy. I phoned Portland Oregon this morning and spoke with the dispatcher. The delivery was made to my farm around two or three pm today. Your packing job and shipping were excellent. The cherry rocking chair purchased as a gift for me is outstanding in every way. I am most appreciative of this wonderful gift, your wonderful workmanship and communications. Boy this is a beautiful and comfortable chair of the highest quality. Lucky, lucky me.

J.L.

Gary,

After reading practically all of your website and my wife none of it, I had to laugh when the first thing she said after sitting in our new cherry rocker was "It fits me perfectly." We moved it into the completed nursery today; it looks beautiful. We look forward to rocking even more when the baby arrives in a couple of weeks.

As someone who dabbles in woodworking, the craftsmanship is inspiring.

Sincerely,
P.R.

Gary,

The chair arrived in one piece; my daughter and her husband think it's beautiful! They're very excited to have it, but, as they only just arrived home with the baby, focus is far more on the rocked than the rocker at this point. I'll hear more soon, I'm sure.

We most certainly have booked our trip and can hardly wait to rock that little bundle of joy!

Would you like to get comments/feed-back from them?

Thanks for your follow-up and concern.

L.C.

Dear Gary,

The rocker came on Friday, August 22nd as I had scheduled. We love it! It is so beautiful and goes so well with the rest of the nursery furniture. I will send a picture once my little one is born of us using it. Thank you again for making sure I got the rocker before I had my baby.

Sincerely,
M.J.

Gary — Chair arrived with no problems with the shipping container. It is truly beautiful — a work of art. So very comfortable — I know we will put a lot of rocking miles on it.

M.L.

Gary, we really enjoyed our chair this past weekend. I had a surprise 85th birthday party for my mother and had all my kids and niece and nephew from California. We all enjoyed taking turns in it . . . and I. especially enjoyed it at 22 months . . . she really turned it into an aerobic activity . . . and it was so safe. M. had just received hers the day she was to fly to Austin so she hasn't got to have any quality time in it . . . thanks so much for your personal attention . . .

A.F.

Gary,

I certainly am happy with the chair, thank you.

P.S.

Gary,

I meant to write you last week, when the chair arrived.

Everything was as you had promised. The furniture was beautiful, arrived on time. We have just delivered your beautiful hand-made rocking chair to our son and daughter-in-law, who expect their first child on Sept. 16. They both are pleased and proud to have this wonderful gift. Thank you for helping make their happiness.

Please accept our gratitude for creating a comfortable and lasting gift for our children. It was a pleasure to speak with you and to do business with you. Keep up the good work. I expect to be calling you again.

Sincerely,
B.B.

I meant to send you a note

The chair is beautiful, and E. loves it

Thank you,
H.D.

Gary,

They love it. The chair fits nicely with their furnishings and they are amazed at the craftmanship. THanks so much for working with us on this. They now have a lifelong piece of furniture that will outlast cribs, carseats, etc. etc. and can be passed down to another generation.

C.S.

Dear Gary,

I am happily enjoying my new walnut rocker. It is not only fine and beautiful, but also extremely comfortable. My cousin had predicted disaster — that I would regret changing from the recliner because of the lack of padding and the inability to lean back with one’s feet up. My old recliner, named Big Blue, has gone to that Great Recliner in the Sky, and I sit like a queen in my chair where I read, knit, and watch television. I can report that my hips and legs do not hurt any more with the nerve pain that seemed to arise after about two hours. I think I can safely attribute this to the gentle curve of the rocker back as it supports the spine.

I also want to tell you how much I enjoyed the hour and a half during which we visited on the front porch of your showroom. You are a true artist and artisan, and I feel honored to enjoy one of your creations. It is an example of the integrity you build into your work, and that can only come from your own ethic of industry and honesty. I look forward to visiting you again sometime.

When I was a child, we had rocking chairs. I grew up with them, and I believe that if everyone in the world had a rocking chair, we would have less violence and trouble. They are restful to the body and soothing to the soul.

As ever,
T.J..

Dear folks

Our rocking chair was delivered yesterday in perfect condition. We love it — it is very comfortable and the wood grain is beautiful. Many thanks for the care taken in crafting the chair and assuring its safe delivery.

Best wishes,
E. & L.S.

Hi Gary,

As promised, here is a picture of your (our) beautiful rocking chair. We are very pleased with it, it is very comfortable. The floor squeaks a bit while we are rocking, and the sound is quite soothing! It is really a nice piece in our living room, and it fits perfectly in the contemporary look of it.

It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I will recommend you to all my friends and family.

Thanks again,
G.B. and D.D.

Dear Gary,

The chairs have arrived in fine condition and look beautiful. It seems that once they left Texas, there was no holding them back. (Is that a parable of some sort?)

The pads you attached are just the ones I've used for other pieces on this floor, and they will be easy to replace when the time comes.

So, a happy ending — at least of chapter one. These chairs are built for a long history, and this is just the start.

Thanks for your work, trust, and care,
D. and S.

Gary,

Have been travelling this week and just got home to find my 8 months pregnant wife rocking happily in her new chair. She loves it and I have to say its a beautiful piece of work by you. My wifes friend came around and commented "do you have a cushion for it" my wife told her it was so soft that you didn't need one and as soon as her friend sat it the chair she got the message.

Have to say the workmanship is outstanding and the chair has a nice modern feel about the look.

Both our mothers are coming to stay after the baby arrives so there may be some fighting over who gets the chair!

Thanks again.
E.D.

Finally . . . IT’S HERE!!!

D. loves it! It is even more beautiful than expected, and so, so, so smooth! It smells so good.

Everything is perfect, the chair and stool make a perfect match, and I think I will have to fight to sit on it!

Thank you so very much for your help and your support throughout the shipping process, it was not that bad after all . . .

I’ll send you pictures soon,
G.B.

Gary:

I am out of town, so I have not seen the chair, but my wife loves it.

Thanks so much,
C.K.

The rocker arrived today in perfect condition and we absolutely LOVE it!!!! We will recommend you (although your rockers obviously are the best recommendation!).

Regards,
J. & D.L.

Yes, the rocker arrived in perfect condition, and I love it. It's like a graceful piece of sculpture that brings the whole room alive. Just as important, it fits me perfectly. I'm having hip-replacement surgery in September, after which I have to remain non-weight bearing for eight weeks (because of the particular type of surgery). Although I'd been coveting the rocker for some time, it was the prospect of spending two months off my feet (or rather off my left foot) that finally prompted me to order it. My reasoning is that the rocking movement will promote better circulation and help ward off the danger of blood clots. In conjunction with my physical therapy program, it will also help me maintain strength on the operated side. I noticed that the arms are well-placed for getting up from the chair. The clinics in my hospital have rockers in the waiting rooms (not as nice as yours), and I'd noticed how soothing it was to rock when I was feeling nervous or stressed before my appointments. Now I can have "rocker therapy" at home, too.

Thanks!
K.W.

Thanks for making this happen. They are THRILLED with the chair.

Hi Gary,

The rocking chair has arrived and I am amazed at the fine workmanship. You and your team exemplify what "Made in America" used to look. The chair is so comfortable. Wow, very impressive!

The package came through undamaged. You really know how to protect your products. If anyone asks me about where to get a quality rocking chair, your name will be the first one (and only one) that comes out of my mouth. Thanks a million. It was well worth the wait and the price. I will enjoy this piece of furniture for many, many years to come.

D.S.

Gary –

I've been meaning to write to you about the surprise delivery. The note to call before delivery got covered by a routing sticker, so they just showed up. Fortunately, I was home and so have been enjoying my gorgeous and incredibly comfortable new rocker earlier than expected. The shipping process didn't even mark the cardboard, and the chair arrived in perfect condition.

The one downside is that I have significant competition for the seat, from any human who comes near it, but also from my little female cat who insists it's the perfect size and shape for her. She will, at least, let me sit between her and the chair.

I don't live in a mansion here, but rather in a tiny place that's almost all built by hand, with trim, decking and shelving made from site-milled cedar and fir. The wonderful description of your design and construction process on your web site helped me understand that your chair would be a perfect fit in my new mini house. Thank you so much for the marvelous rocker and for the seamless ordering and delivery process.

B.D.

Gary,

The chair is beautiful and was shipped without a single mark on the box. Thank you so much!

Best,
M. and L.

Gary,

The chairs arrived in perfect condition yesterday afternoon. Many thanks to you and your team for the fine workmanship.

Best,
R.J.

Gary

I'm sorry you didn't receive my post directly. I am delighted! More so!! The chair is gorgeous, for the eyes, the hands, seat and back!

Cheers
P.C.

thanks a bunch. i like it very much

F.I.

Hi Gary,

As promised, here is a picture of the set in its new home. D. and I think it is the most beautiful spot on earth, so to find furniture that matches that beauty . . . Well, we are just so very pleased with it. It is just lovely; even lovelier than the picture. We hope to enjoy it with our family for many years to come. Thanks so much for your care in creating such amazing pieces.

Best regards,
J.M.

Dear Gary,

The delivery truck driver asked me what was so special about these chairs — he delivers so many (I'm assuming he meant in the Washington, DC area where I live). So I told him all about them before I'd even unpacked mine.

I want you to know my rocker is everything I told him it was and more. I've never cried over a piece of furniture before, but I did over this. (Heck, truth be known, I cried over the website.) Of course it has to do with the beauty and comfort of the chair. But it's also the fact that it was crafted in West Texas, which is very special to me . . .

Next time I get to West Texas, I hope to come meet you and see your showroom. Thanks more than I can say.

N.M.

Gary,

Thank you so much for the refinishing offer. I don't think the chair would fit in my car or I would take you up on it.

I have to tell you that chair is the most beautiful work of art I have ever purchased. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be coming home with me. You are so incredibly talented. I paid $1,000 for it at Whit Hanks. I remember because it was my Christmas bonus check from work. I knew if I did not buy it, I would regret it.

Thank you so much for the years of enjoyment and the wonderful memories of rocking my baby girls over the years

L.H.

Hi Gary,

We received the chair and absolutely love it. In fact, our baby loves it too! Excellent craftsmanship — truly a work of art. Thanks again for expediting the order. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Best,
J.B.
