Gary, The rocker has been successfully delivered and is used daily. Our little one arrived 04/03 so it was at the house when we got home from the hospital! T. appreciates the rocker very much! He enjoys his late night bottles and listening to John Coltrane while rocking!!!Someday I hope to get one of your mesquite rockers as well! Thx again Gary and Crew!
Best,P—

Thank you for your email and kind words. Your rockers have been quite the conversation piece for all our visitors!

Just received and unboxed the rocking chair - it is beautiful! Every time we open one of your rockers, I am again amazed at the constant quality!

Thank you so very much! We are excited to gift it to our daughter.

A.

Hi Gary,
Happy Valentines Day! The due date is creeping up on us quickly now!
...Currently, the porch rocker here is the only truly comfortable seat at 37 weeks. As always, thank you for bringing such beautiful and comfortable furniture into our lives.
Love, H.R.

Greetings to all…

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the chair so carefully made for M. It arrived this morning and it was met with smiling faces and excitement. They loved the plague on the bottom with the family history and were so excited to see the amazing quality of the workmanship…plus…they love the mahogany.
...
As with each of the prior two rockers…absolutely perfect and again many thanks for the artisans hands and care.

All the best
B.

Hi Gary and all,
Good timing—today is actually the due date! But he hasn’t come yet. Thank you for checking in, that’s very kind of you.
The curly cherry rocking chair is the most beautiful rocking chair I’ve ever seen. We absolutely love looking at it every single day and it’s so comfortable to sit in. We can’t wait to rock our baby in it when he arrives.
Thanks again,
J.

Sir/Madam:

The Weeks rocker arrived in great condition and my wife helped unpack the box. (I tried to make it a surprise, but she figured things out from the picture not the box.)

My wife then proceeded to sit in the chair for the next few hours, marveling at the comfort, fit, and finish.

She did the same thing the next day.

Thank you.

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.

hi there,the cherry rocking chair finally cleared quarantine and was delivered today (schenker provided excellent service, thanks). the chair is great, significantly more comfortable than my maloof homage.
kind regards,r.

Hi Gary Your workmanship is outstanding and you will be heading from us again! Have a wonderful holiday!
N.

Thanks for the email. It is gorgeous and definitely a keeper- recycling the cardboard shipping crate this weekend!

T.

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.

I was going through some very old paperwork from 2002 and ran across our receipt from the rocking chair you made us. Thought I'd send a photo of the chair that truly became more beautiful over time. Thought you'd like to see it. Still gorgeous:)

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.

To all of you at Gary Weeks & Co.:

We continue to enjoy the kitchen table and chairs as well as the rocker that you made for us nearly 10 years ago.

We wish you continued success!

H. and K. M.

Congrats! You make a very fine piece of furniture. My wife really has enjoyed her rocker; its hard to pry her out of it. Many more years to you.
Regards,
J. D.

Thank very much, my wife absolutely LOVES the rocker, and uses it every day.

It's such a beautiful rocker, thank you all so very much!

---- M.

The chair has arrived safely in Nashville and is now in a place of honor in the baby’s room. It is such a lovely piece!! My daughter and her husband have a sense of humor, and I wanted to share a few texts from them:
S. (...husband): “You can feel the quality.”
S. : “This chair seems to be saying ‘I am what furniture is supposed to be. I don’t know about the other stuff you guys you put in here, though.”
The chair to the other pieces in the baby room: “Back when I was being assembled by master craftsmen…oh sorry, you guys were cobbled together with Allen keys on a Saturday morning, weren’t you?”

Sincerely yours,
J.

Gary and Autumn,

I received the Weeks Rocking Chair and footstool this afternoon. No damage was found. The rocker is fantastic! Well made, beautiful wood, fits my body like a glove. When I was in college and medical school I always used a rocker for reading/studying... Now that I am retired..., I have been looking for a great rocking chair and believe that I have found it.

Thanks again.
L. W.

Dear Gary,

Congratulations on your 30th anniversary! I have had my Weeks Rocker now for 23 years and it is still rocking away in great shape. I love this rocker and I have experienced many ups and downs in this chair, and now that I am retired I spend many happy days and evenings listening to music in my Weeks masterpiece. I cherish it and want to thank for your creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment to quality.

J.F.

Hi Gary -

The rocking chair is truly incredible.
Thank you for all of your hard work on it. We are so grateful.

Best,
E.

Dear Gary,

Our cherry rocker and foot stool arrived today. It is both beautiful and functional. It is so comfortable, and we love all the attention to detail. We are so pleased in every regard. Thanks so much!

B. and 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.

Live Generously

Thanks Gary… The rocking chair is amazing! It is even more beautiful and comfortable than I imagined it would be… Def worth the wait and the money.

Much appreciated!

Sincerely,

M.

Hi Gary and Team,

Yes! We are so happy that we chose the mesquite rocker. It’s just beautiful all around.

J. loves the rocker and has been napping in it! He’s an avid cyclist and often rests after a long ride.
…and reads a lot while sitting it as well. :))

Have a great day and thanks again! 😊

All the Best,
S.

I found Gary Weeks company on the internet. My sister lives in Houston and I wanted to see this chair so badly, I flew from Seattle to Houston and then we took a little weekend trip to Wimberley, TX. While I felt very comfortable that I could return the chair if I didn’t like it, a trip to see my sister seemed like a fun idea.

I’m so glad I went. I met Gary’s son Austin and a couple other members of their team. They were all very delightful and showed me their shop. They showed me the wood they use and how they put the chairs together. While eating at a restaurant in Wimberley, I saw a rocking chair and could tell it had been made in their shop. The chair in the restaurant was over 10 years old.

When you sit in the rocker, you just want to stroke the wood, it’s that soft. The chair is very comfortable. It fits both my husband and myself. I have a piece of functional art.

Also, the chair was shipped beautifully and I was apprised of when it would be delivered. The entire transaction was seamless from start to finish.

Don’t hesitate to purchase from this small, local company.”

Gary ...I hope [this] helps and I love my chair!!
K.

Oh, great - so glad to hear it! We have received a few photos from A., and he (and his family) are really enjoying the rocker!

Thank you for your beautiful work, and for being so easy to work with,

C.

Thanks for your note. We are loving our rocker. I am sitting in it now, looking out on C. Mtn.…

Thanks again for your amazing craftsmanship and service.

T&C

Thanks for getting back with me Gary, I appreciate it.

Just a note regarding the rocker and your company. I was really anticipating the arrival of the rocker and even though I had seen photos a number of times on your website I was blown away when I opened the box. Wow, the rocker is a true piece of “functional” art and you and your crew clearly take great pride in your work. To say I’m disappointed to have to return the rocker is an understatement. I appreciate you taking a chance on me and your no-nonsense return policy. I’m sure you receive very few pieces of your furniture back. I’ll spread the word about your fine furniture!

Take care Gary,
J.


Good morning, a note of thanks for my maple rocker. It’s better today than new. Love it.Continued success and good health.
R. W.

Hi Gary,
Thank you to you and to your team for the chair. It makes a stunning centerpiece in the nursery.
S. and A.

Gary, we truly love the walnut rocker and are looking forward to rocking our babies in it in the years to come. Thanks so much for reaching out!
Best, M.

My parents were blown away by the first one. 2 days after Christmas my Dad texted me "we can't stop staring at the rocker" lol.

Thanks!
J.S.

Hi Austin - just a quick update to say the rocking chair has arrived and I love it! All went smoothly with the delivery as planned. The chair itself was lighter than I'd expected, and once we had it out of the crate it was easy to transport up to my suite. I also appreciate that most of your your shipping material can be recycled.
Thank you for making this beautiful and comfortable chair. The quality of the wood and the workmanship is impeccable. Thank you also for your support throughout the process of cross-border shipping.
With very best wishes,
A.

Folks....received my new rocker and it is everything that was advertised...wonderful product! Anticipate purchasing another one (maple this time) soon.

Happy Holidays from a satisfied customer!

Best, G.

Austin,
Thank you very much for your MOST EXCELLENT rocking chair. S. and I both love it. [S. smiles every time she sits in it.] It is the very best rocker either one of us have ever sat in, let alone owned.
It is sitting by our southern windows with views out toward Ponderosa Pine trees, Elms, Cottonwoods, and right now, alongside a potted Poinsettia.
Thank you again.
Merry Christmas to you and your Crew.
Sincerely,
C.

To all at Gary Weeks & Company,

I want to tell you AGAIN how much I love the rocking chair I purchased ten years ago. It still lives here in Montpelier, Vermont without a creak, the discrete number of nicks and scratches reminding me of the last ten years of my life. Thank you to all who had a hand in making such a treasure.

Gary and co....THANKS.
Having gone thru several local high end stores sitting in all they had that looked as if I could tolerate it in the house, when I first
sat in my new cherry rocker, so scant and unbulky and beautiful....amazing. And yes, last nite after couple hours on that beautiful
hardwood my bony bottom was beginning to want some pad… Anyway, you have my gratitude and admiration in full. What a joy to deal with
a craftsman and his family. Am a retired eng. and kinda putter around wood lover and builder of my simple oak desk now holding my laptop.
Believe I can fully appreciate the skill, love and care that went into every aspect, not the least of which is your incredible box and packing.

The only chair I considered at the high end store was a stressless from Sweden or Denmark. It cost 500 more than my chair from you. I asked
the very nice saleswoman "is this like the car dealer, when I leave the shop with the chair there is no option to return? She said that is correct" I said "why
would I risk nearly 3000 to try that??

Anyway, am interested in your pad you are working on, because I KNOW it will work with your chairs....you are that kind of guy.

ps Son visiting here is a structural engineer. He is very impressed, and found it comfy

Best, and have a blessed Thanksgiving

Hi Autumn,
I’m so glad you got the check! And yes, I received the stool yesterday. It’s absolutely beautiful paired with the rocker, of course—I’ve attached a picture. I also included a photo that hangs on the wall behind it—it’s of the rocker with me and my daughter, for whose birth the rocker was a gift back in 2003. She’s in college now!
Thanks again for such quality work, and wonderful customer service. I hope to work with you again in the future.
Cheers,L.

Got it! Thanks. Very comfy and good for reading and contemplating my existence. Love the chair!
L.

Nineteen years ago, I received a cherry Weeks Rocker as a gift when my youngest was born. Unsurprisingly, it has become my most cherished piece of furniture, and the one most admired by others who visit my home. I have long wanted to add a matching footstool to it, and the time has come!
Kind regards, L.

Austin,I’m truly sorry for not sending my appreciation for all the beautiful chairs, and going the extra miles in making everything special for the recipients. Everyone was deeply pleased and awed by your workmanship.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every moment you spent making these special! Also, please send my gratitude to your father who gave so many years and hours in preparing the way for our special gifts. We are all thankful to both of you.
D.C.

I received my rocker In wonderful condition yesterday. It looks fantastic and is very comfortable. Thank you very much.
M.

We received our 2 porch rocking chairs this morning.
Comment one: ‘ AHHHHHHhhhhhh!’
Comment two: ‘Dang. WOW. Smooth to the touch.’
Final Comment: ‘Thank you!’

This popped up on my Facebook memories yesterday and thought I’d share. 8 years and we are still in love with this chair. There’s not been a person who’s visited our home who hasn’t commented on its beauty and comfort. I think if our house were on fire, we might grab the chair before the dog. Well, we’d throw the dog on the chair and rescue them at the same time!!

H.

Autumn,

My rocker stool and side table just got unpacked. Of course the packing was bombproof. But easy to take off.

The furniture could not be more beautiful. It’s everything I had hoped…

Thanks again, and please pass on to everyone how pleased I am with their work…

Very best
K.

Another thought on the furniture.

Some furniture is pretty…… but not comfortable. Others ugly, but comfy.

After spending much time looking at, touching and rocking I am reminded of a quote by a very well thought of marine architect, Chuck Paine, when describing Nathaniel Herreshoff’s daysailer design the 12 1/2. He said “ It is the perfect small boat, and cannot be improved in any way.” The rocker, table, and stool cannot be improved.

Another little term I learned in Maine when one refers to something that is “ just right” is “Yare”. Your work is just that.

Gary,

...But I'm really writing because I feel guilty of how I took advantage of you over the deal I made for your rocker. I can't impress on you enough the enjoyment that cherry rocker has given G. and I over the years. We have a rather large room that serves as our dinning room and living room. And right smack dab in the middle is your rocker. You can sit in it and face our wood burning furnace or swivel it to the left and be in the middle of our living/tv room or swivel to the right and you're in our dinning area looking out our big picture window. We literally argue over whose turn it is to sit in it. G. has a bad back and it is the only chair that gives her comfort--so she uses it most. It's such a beautiful chair. In my mind, a real masterpiece. I admire it all the time--the balanced wood selection is superb--and at times, when the light hits it just right the colors and grains are just fantastic. But it's the lines I like the best. All the subtleties of design and the way it all comes together. It's a beautiful, beautiful rocker and I thank you so much for your generosity in allowing me to own it. It's by far our most treasured possession.

You both are truly blessed with not only what you've accomplished thru your creativity and hard work but with your extended family. I hope all is well.

Your fan,

P.

PS--don't forget to move our pin from Fredericksburg to Poland.

Both rockers were received. They were sent to two colleagues who retired and both were very pleased with the quality and thoughtfulness of the gift.

This is the second time I have placed an order with you and once again your communication and craftsmanship was outstanding!

Thank you.
D.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

Yes, the chair arrived safely a little more than a week ago. I was surprised how light it was and how sturdy. It is beautiful and perfect for the setting in our chapel.

I am very grateful for your craftsmanship and for you allowing me to request the changes to the length of the arms.

Gratefully,
J.

Gary,

So far we are very pleased with chair. So pleased I think another one is in our near future! We really enjoyed meeting Autumn and you and touring your shop. Everything and everyone is first class. We’ll stay in touch. Thank you for the nice note, as well.

All the best,
C. and E.
