Dear Gary and all,

Yes the chairs arrived in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. They are beautiful. B is so happy to have them. The entire family marveled at the beauty of your workmanship, the gorgeous deep color of the walnut and the comfortable seat and arms. Another triumph! Thank you and keep up the good work!

We continue to enjoy the custom walnut dining table and chairs your firm created and delivered two years ago. Over last week's Thanksgiving holiday weekend the table extended from square to long to medium and back to its usual square configuration. The most significant compliment to the set, even more important than its beautiful wood, is that friends and family lingered at the table talking after meals instead of heading immediately to the sofas and recliners. Truly comfortable chairs!

Thanks,
L.L.M.

Hi Gary and team,

Just writing to say thank you for the stunningly gorgeous table and chairs! They are absolutely perfect.

It was worth the wait living on Ikea furniture and hand-me-downs for many years until we could finally acquire our first real "adult" dining room furniture.

I had a friend come over to receive the delivery with me, and she could not get over the incredible lumbar support in the chairs. (I was of course already accustomed to it from my parents' furniture!)

Thank you for your wonderful craftsmanship and your attentiveness throughout the process! We will of course highly recommend your work to anyone we know who wants the highest quality wood furniture!

-M.M. & A.M.

Hi Gary,

The desk and barstools are gorgeous. They add such beauty to our home and life. Thank you again for everything. I look forward to seeing you at the Barn dance!

Dear Gary, Austin, and Autumn,

The three pieces arrived today, carefully carried into the space by Plycon’s delivery folk. No damage of any sort, just a little tape residue here and there which comes off with a microfiber cloth.

And the pieces are beautiful. The photos on the web site made me confident, as did the explanations of how the designs came to be and were executed, but pictures just can’t capture what you have made for us. We’re particularly struck by the quiet elegance, the subtle detail, the way that all the furniture somehow combines a sort of humility and practicality with sheer beauty. And of course the craftsmanship is superb.

We’ve looked at lots of rockers over the years (Portland is that kind of town), but never found anything that seemed right, shaped to the body, friendly to the eye, confident in its own place in the world but not trying to make a statement. And the desk and accompanying chair are worthy kin.

We feel very lucky to have found your work, and are grateful to all who have put their hands to this project.

Best wishes,

R.K.

Hi Gary,

I hope this finds you and family well!

Having some of your furniture over here continues to be a daily delight. Less than Zero buyer's remorse.
I still can't believe how great living with a few of your team's creations has been.

Kind regards,
B.M.

Hi Gary,

The chairs arrived and they are beautiful. The darker eastern walnut compliments the lighter western walnut of our dining table. The chairs are beautifully made and are gorgeous to the touch. Thank you.

B.S.

Hi Gary,

My enthusiasm is borrowed from my dad, who owns two of your rockers and is a little obsessed. :) My parents have a kitchen table and chairs from you too. He's been singing your praises for years, and I'm glad we can finally lay claim to our own Gary Weeks furniture!

Thank you!

M.M.

Gary:

I just wanted to let you know how much we love our new table. It's gorgeous! The craftsmanship of you and your crew is really evident in its design, construction, and finish. I always admire and even envy really good craftsmen. With one leaf in the table its size is perfect for the two of use, and, with three leafs in, the rounded corner design makes is so we can easily seat ten. I am amazed how stable and sturdy the central pedestal design is even when expanded to its maximum. I could go on, but suffice it to say E and I think the table is beautiful. We really appreciate your great work.

D.M.

Hi Gary,

Our barstools arrived in perfect condition and are absolutely beautiful. You and the team did a wonderful job. We couldn't be more happy with the level of craftsmanship and professionalism. Thank you very much for all of your effort.

Best Regards,
M.W.

Gary et al.

The table and chairs were delivered today in perfect condition. And they're even nicer than I expected. Thanks so much for your fine workmanship.

Best wishes,

L.H.

Good afternoon! Am in receipt of two more gorgeous chairs. Thank you so very much for such sensationally sweet furniture. Will send pictures once all is done, hopefully next week.

Well Wishes,
M.M.

Our barstools arrived yesterday by FedEx as scheduled and in perfect condition . . . well done! They are beautiful, comfortable and lovely to the touch. You have mastered every facet of your business, it is such a pleasure to work with all of you.

Now we will settle back and enjoy this new addition to our home. Thank you for another delightful experience with Gary Weeks & Co.

Warmest regards,
P.C. & S.C.

Austin,

Here are the chairs at HOME. Will enjoy these guys the rest of my life. Thank you and your staff for doing an excellent job.

L.S.

Hello Autumn,
I just wanted to let you know that our chairs arrived safe and sound yesterday. We just love them! Thanks so much. We'll always treasure them!

N.K & M.K..

Gary,

Congratulations . . . indeed the best of times!!
The barstools are a big hit — the guests love them as well as B. and I . . . extremely comfortable. Looking forward to rocking outdoors in the future.

T.H.

Gary,

They arrived in perfect shape and now we have cleaned our office/library and they are at the small desk you made for me for the same room. They look great. I'm looking forward to them using them also around the dining table this Thanksgiving when we will need more that the current 8 chairs. I'm very happy that we have had that table from essentially the time my two boys were born and knowing that it will follow with one of them some day.

C.C.

Received our table and chairs today, and just wanted to say thanks, they are everything we wanted and look wonderful in our home.

Again many thanks

J.H.

Thanks Gary. Bar stools look great and the side table is perfectly at home next to my rocker. Just sent in pictures for the #3000 drawing. They didn't turn out like I wanted but I'm out of time but maybe lady luck is in my corner. Have a great weekend!

K.H.

Gary,

We are already loving them! We are using the two in the temporary apartment, and the other two are safely boxed and awaiting the completion of the new home. I will be sure to send you some pictures once they find their new home near the dining room chairs. We so appreciate the fine work you do and will be proud to have them in our new place. Our door is always open as well!

Hugs,
J.L.

I was away for work and a friend was at the house Monday to sign. So I saw them last night and I love them. They are truly a work of art.

Thank you!

R.M.

They are gracing our dining room kitchen bar counter as we speak! Beautiful. Thank you!

Hi Gary –

I've had my set of chairs for a few months now, and I've been meaning to get back to you, and this is as good a time as any.

The chairs are fabulous. The design, construction and finish are flawless. They are just what I was looking for. I only have a few friends who can tell a good chair from a bad chair, but the ones who can have picked them out right away. I'm proud to have them at our table.

We've had a bunch of dinners with friends and family around our big table since we got the chairs. Good company, good food and good conversation are the centerpiece of our home, and sitting in your chairs while I watch a pleasant evening unfold has made many evenings even more pleasant.

You do good work. Thank you.

A.G.

The table looks great in the space. I am so pleased with the outcome. Nice to have you as a neighbor. Thanks for everything.

L.

Dear Gary,

We have enjoyed your chairs for a few years now and have not found any others that come close for beauty and comfort. We now have another home in Hawaii (Honolulu) and are interested in purchasing about 8 chairs for our home there. Same type of chairs we ordered previously: 2 arm chairs, 4 side chairs . . .

Sincerely,
G. L.

Gary, everything arrived Tuesday in flawless condition. The leaf case is beautiful as is the furniture. I am very pleased. Thank you for your wonderful work.

J. M.-M.

Hi Gary,

Beautiful! We're very happy with the table. It matches the chairs perfectly and looks so nice in our dining room. I've attached a couple of snapshots.

All the best,
S. W.

I just wanted to send you an extra email to tell you how much I enjoy the table and chairs. When I sit in them, the word that comes to mind is "hug". I just feel cradled in these chairs. I have a very large friend and she loved her chair as well, the one WITH the arms! W. said completely out of the blue as we were sitting one day, "This is a FANTASTIC table" as he smoothed his hand over it. And I love telling the story about how I found you again after so many years!

Just wanted you to know :-) Feel free to use whatever you want in what I say as a testimonial.

All the best in the meantime,
M. M.

Hey Gary,

You were on my list to email today, and you got me first. We LOVE the chairs, they are beautiful pieces of craftsmanship. Thank You so much!!

B. & K.

Hey Gary —

They delivered the chairs Thursday evening. They are perfect. My wife is as happy as I am, which matters a lot. They arrived in flawless shape.

If I were to scratch one at some point I'm wondering how to mend that. Does that info exist on your web site? I assume sand it smooth and put some sort of oil on it?

Thanks again — we love your work.

Attached is a picture of our beautiful bar stools at the kitchen island. We had company Saturday night and used all four the first day we had them. Thanks again for the great work y'all do.

M.L.

Gary,

Thanks for arranging for us pick up the chairs during your vacation. Will was extremely helpful and very easy to work with. The pickup could not have gone smoother.

We are very pleased with the chairs and will tell everyone where we got them.

Regards
S.Z.

Gary,

Please forgive my late response!
Thanks to you and Austin for hosting me on a tour of your operations.
I am delighted with the barstools, and they have become a part of my cherished weekend morning tradition of sipping a good latte and searching diligently through the papers for a shred of good news. The stools are comfy!
I take solace in my visit with you and am encouraged by your company, your people, and what you do.

Best Regards,
S.

Hi Gary! Thanks for checking in. We have received all 4 and unboxed 2 of the 4. Both are flawless in appearance and super comfy. The other shipping crates showed no more wear than the first two, so I think they should be fine. It is that time of year when some of the outside tasks around the house preparing for winter take priority. We should get to open up the last two sometime this week.

Thanks for your dedication to craftsmanship and quality design. Have not found better in any price range!

Thanks again,
S.

Gary,

First — the barstools are amazing. The grain and curl are fantastic, the finish smooth as glass and the workmanship, as always, first-rate. Great work — many thanks. I think those stools represent the 11th and 12th pieces we have of yours, including the Œerrant" chair . . .

. . . I'm fascinated by all the work that goes on in your shop and all of the environmental and safety improvements you are constantly making. You run a pretty cutting-edge operation while managing to produce beautiful art and keep meals on a lot of family tables. That¹s pretty cool.

Best to you, Leslie and all the team.
T.

The van just left and our house now looks like a home with a real dining table and chairs and the rocker in the living room. No more card table and garden chair. We will send some photos soon. Many thanks again for your beautiful craftsmanship.

J. and D.

Hi Gary,

I have been meaning to write to you for several days . . .

The table and chairs were delivered as promised without incident. All packing appeared to be intact from your preparation.

We just love the table and chairs. They are so beautiful. Your blending of fine craftsmanship and elegance stand out. The chairs compliment your rocking chair that is nearby.

Thank you for caring to create such fine furniture.

C.

Dear Gary,

They are perfect! Thank you so much — we could not be happier.

Also, what a treat to have them arrive in boxes decorated with the children's artwork on the top. How adorable!

Thank you again for our beautiful and so comfortable bar stools!

Best,

L.

Dear Gary,

My apologies for not writing sooner. Yes, they arrived and are beautiful!

They complement our new kitchen perfectly. I especially enjoy the offset footrests, my husband is 6'5" and uses the lower one, while I am 5'3" and use the higher one. Such a thoughtful design detail. Thank you for your excellent craftsmanship. A few action shots for you and your team . . . as you can see, they also work as cat beds.


Take care, and thanks again,
G.

We received the barstools this morning. They are truly works of art. We will be enjoying them for many years.

C.

Gary,

It did! The pieces are beautiful, and we couldn't be happier.

We very much appreciate all of the care taken to craft and deliver the furniture. We will certainly be recommending the work most highly. Thank you!

best,
P.

Gary —

I've been meaning to drop you a note. They are, in a word, perfect. My wife and I are now very attached to what is our breakfast nook. I cannot tell you how much we enjoy the furniture you make, and beyond that, the customer service you provide. Fans forever!

All the best,
E.

Dear Gary,

Thanks for your kind note.

Yes, I was sorry not to be able to tag along for the pickup. My work schedule and a vehicular breakdown required me to stay in Austin.

As to the chairs, they are a delight. I'm sitting in one of the new ones right now. And as I mentioned, I've parked my tush in many different chairs over my writing career and your arm chair is simply the best.

Warm regards,
R.

Hi Becca,

Thanks for checking in with me! Yes, there was a slight delay as I was not home the first time Fedex tried to make the delivery and therefore I asked them to transfer and hold the stools at a local site for pickup. I have the stools now, and I could not be happier with them! They are absolutely beautiful. I feel so lucky to have such a finely crafted functional piece in my home. Thanks to everyone at the company.

Sincerely,
C.

I know tomorrow we will be having a spectacular meal here. We enjoy and are thankful for this beautiful furniture every day and for the hands that made it.

Merry Christmas
D.

Just a quick shot to show you what our beautiful new table and chairs look like in place. Thank you very much for your craftsmanship.
D.

We love the stools in our new home!
Thanks.
J.

Hello!

The table, chairs, and rocking chair just arrived. They are absolutely beautiful! I¹m almost speechless. You¹ve exceeded my expectations, which were already pretty high given what I¹d seen on your website.

Thank you so very much.

Best,
T.

Gary,

I was planning on contacting you today. I am so pleased with my new table and chairs! They are just as beautiful and well made as my rocker. The delivery men were here by 7:30 a.m. and couldn't have been more courteous and professional. It is so reassuring to know there are still people who care about quality workmanship and customer service. I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for all you have done to make this senior citizen happy!

Best wishes to you and yours,
B.

We are loving our dining chairs! Everyone who visits and sits in them remarks on how comfortable, and how beautiful, they are. We are doing what we can to spread your excellent reputation.
