The Gary Weeks Rocker: Mesquite
Glass is yet to compare to it’s smoothness.
Exquisite elegance that can go from a log cabin to the White House, from "Maw’s" porch to the Smithsonian and never be out of place.
Truly an antique in the future that will be a prized treasure.
Beauty that delights the eye and blessed for the body to behold!

The Dining Chair. Walnut
An unmatched masterpiece. I have never owned nor had the pleasure of dining in a chair with such character. The lumbar support while eating and the support of the thighs is unparralled in the dining experience.
Buy the Best First and you’ll never regret it!
Gary Weeks is an artist that quickly becomes a friend~!

To Gary and Co,

M. and I wanted to write and thank you all. Our rocker is exactly as you said it would be: beautiful, well built, and a joy to sit in! It is fast becoming the most sought after place of repose within our walls. We look forward to seeing new things from you, and to the day when we can acquire more pieces. Thank you again, and God bless you all.

Sincerely,
D. and M.T.

Gary —

We did indeed get the chair and it is magnificent. It's amazingly well-built and solid, but also very comfortable. I rocked our seven-month-old in it last night when he woke up at 3 — he went back to sleep nicely, thank goodness. And my tall husband also finds the chair comfortable and a good place to sit with the baby.

We're very happy with the chair. It's obviously the product of exquisite workmanship. It's a lovely thing to look at and even better to touch. The satiny feel of the wood under my hands is incredible.

J.T.

Gary,

Thank you for your email and concern about arranging delivery of the rocker I ordered. I received the rocker yesterday. It is an incredible work of art! I'm already thinking about ordering another!

Best regards,
T.L.

The chair arrived. It is beautiful.

When I ordered it I forgot that people in Texas are larger than those of us who are from a prior generation from the midwest. I am 5 foot 2". It would have been perfect if it was a smaller size.

An expensive lesson.
E.B.

Yes, we had the rocker delivered on Wednesday last week, and it is wonderful. I've been enjoying it since we've had it, and I make everyone who comes to our house sit in it so they can feel how fantastic it is. Thanks so much!

E.D.

Hi Gary,

We got the chair!
We love it!!
The chair came in perfect condition.
Thank you for the care in all of this!

Thank you so much.
I.J.

Hi Gary.

This is just a quick note to acknowledge receipt of the chair and stool just before 3:00 p.m. today, both undamaged — the crate did not have a scratch on it. I have the chair alongside a window in my den and apparently like some of your other customers fell asleep in it shortly after sitting down but awoke just in time for dinner. When is a chair more than a chair? Well, when it's a Gary Weeks Rocker it would seem. Which is to say that this beautiful work of your hand is a joy to have. Thank you and your team for your commitment to excellence and the integrity that's reflected in this work. It will take me a while to begin to absorb everything so more later; in the meantime let the adventure begin.

Many thanks.
J.D.

Gary,

Thank you so much for the chair . . . It is so beautiful. There was no damage to the crate at all. When it was delivered today I knew I was in for a real treat when I saw how much care and attention to detail went into building the crate alone. Even the screw holes on the crate were countersunk. There was more attention to detail in the crate alone than most people put into building their chairs. The chair is truly a beautiful work of art. I can't wait to give it to my wife on her birthday. She is going to be so excited. The only thing I am not happy about is that it has to stay at my parents house for the next month until her birthday.

True to your word the chair is comfortable for people of all sizes. My mom is 5'-04" tall and she loves it, my dad is 6'-00" tall and he loves it, and I am 6'-04" and I love it. Thanks again, you have blessed my family with a chair that will be with us throughout our lives and give us a lifetime of memories and happiness.

R.C.

Gary,

The rocker was a big success at the shower. My daughter is very happy with it and looking forward to much use with my grandson due in late May (plus future grand kids down the road?).

Thank you for your excellent craftsmanship and all the attention given in careful packaging and shipping making sure we got the product in great condition.

My daughter is in the US Foreign Service and moves overseas frequently. So, we are thinking about keeping the crate for re-use in the next move.

D.S.

Hi Gary,

I've received the rocker in perfect shape. It suits me just fine and my wife will try it out shortly. Thanks for your workmanship, effort, and diligence in providing my family this wonderful rocker. I've never sat in anything so comfortable.

N. & S.V.

Dear Gary,

The chair. It looks, feels and IS wonderful. Thank you — it’s quite like owning our very own piece of America; and, you can quote me. The chair is beautifully realized and finished; sitting in it elevates the spirit.

Strangely enough, sitting in it makes one want to get up and DO things. That’s good.

Well done, and thanks for all your care throughout the process.

Good luck.

Yours,
R.R.

Gary and Family:

Don't know if I've gotten back to you or not. I've been on overload to say the least. The chair is wonderful. Maybe I told you already, but my boys made fun of me getting a rocker. Now they sit in it a lot. Anyway, I like it very much.

J.R.

It is the most beautiful piece in our nursery, by far and has already been praised as a "family heirloom" . . . I do look forward to rocking my baby come June.

Thank you.
J.F.

We got it and love it.

Thanks,
S. and S.B.

I did receive the rocking chair and it is absolutely beautiful!!! My husband and I have already spent lots of time in the chair and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our son. It was wonderful to receive such a beautifully handmade, COMFORTABLE chair. Thank you so much for creating such a great piece!

B.A.

Gary,

Sorry it took me so long to answer. My rocker arrived on Tuesday the 18th and my Grand Daughter on the 19th! Thay are both perfect! The rocker really is as comfortable as you say. I'm so glad I saw your website on the internet.

Thanks again.
J.P.

Hi Gary,

We received our rocking chair last week and we love it! It's also in great condition, no problems. Thanks again!

Regards,
L..K.

Gary,

I'm sorry I did not let you know sooner that we received the chair and I appreciate your attention through the delivery process (although after seeing the chair, detail is not to be wondered at). I've had this e-mail percolating in my head since we got the rocker and just haven't had the time to send it.

This will probably be the 1938th letter of its kind, but this being our chair, we are absolutely in love with it. Upon pulling it out of the crate, I couldn't believe how smooth the finish felt. It was a different feeling from a varnished piece of furniture where your hand sticks and slides. Here I could feel the wood glide underneath my hand. Since I am not accustomed to encountering this in furniture (this being my first purchase of quality furniture), it delighted me to no end, and that is where my first impression lay. As far as the sitting and rocking, it fits like a glove. It is such a natural feel.

Of course, I only get a few opportunities at it as my wife, S., has taken it over as hers (as I suppose it was intended), and I assume from her long occupations of it, that she is quite pleased with it as well. S. is a yoga teacher, and now, she does all of her class planning and reading in the rocker, and she also likes to listen to music and read to our unborn son while rocking away, getting him acclimated to the motion. Finding her there gives me great joy and visions of my wife and baby together and visions of a happy family to come.

Last I just want to say it is a beautiful rocker, and what seems obvious, becomes delightful as I notice the details of the chair. Upon receiving it, I challenged myself to look at it and discover the whys of it, as far as being a superior piece of furniture. The fine symmetry of the piece and the off beat notes that pop-up balance the eye and gives cheer to investigation. I noticed in the legs, the figure of the wood (a term I learned through your explanation on your website) are symmetrical in the front and the back in both direction and placement. The lines turn and peak at exactly opposite points and I wonder at the challenge of its making. And peering at the glimmer of the surface, you get the sense of depth that exists beyond what you can touch. And I get the sense, that like still water, it will become clearer as the years settle upon it. I am looking forward to appreciating its beauty as time and many rockings make their marks.

All this effort of expression is my attempt to say thank you for making such a lovely rocking chair. It is exactly what we hoped it would be, an companion to our growing family.

Sincerely,
G.S.

We're a little disappointed.

The next day . . .

We're a little disappointed . . . that we can't purchase a whole houseful of this furniture. We LOVE the chair. It is truly a work of art. My wife is eight months pregnant and is beginning to have lower back pain. She loves to sit in the chair because she says it makes her back feel better. We are incredibly happy with the chair. Thanks so much.

Sorry for the little joke, we figured that since you don't get many complaints this would add a little spice to the workday.

Thanks again and if I win the lottery any time soon, I'll be placing multiple orders.

B.&C.C.

Gary,

Thank you so much, my wife loves it. It was a Valentine's day gift for her. She is 13 weeks pregnant with our first child and looks forward to soothing the kids to sleep.

Thank you again.

Best
D.&J.

Gary: I received my rocker in good shape and I am enjoying it very much. You should pay me an advertising fee because I am telling everyone how great it is. I am kidding, of course, and I hope to order some other things from you in the future.

Thanks again, and best regards.
J.K.

Aubrey,

Yes, we received the rocker and absolutely love it! I am so glad we finally found a rocker that we can treasure and keep in the family.

J.M.

Dear Aubrey and Gary:

Wow! Notwithstanding my discussion with Gary earlier today about the nasty delivery man, we opened up the box and found our rocking chair — we could not be more pleased! It's in perfect condition and absolutely beautiful — to the eyes, to the touch . . . and it feels great once we sit down (with our new bundle of joy in our arms). We're both looking forward to using it a lot for many years to come. Thank you both.

Gary: Thanks for being so good to me on the phone this morning. You were very helpful in listening to me about our less than satisfactory delivery experience. Your offer to call M. was also much appreciated. Your company's excellent customer focus is very much a rare thing these days.

For the record, the delivery person called and offered a one-hour window which, as you know, my wife accepted. The delivery person refused delivery of the chair into our home and in fact said it was company policy to deliver such shipments to the garage. Our daughter's crying prevented further negotiation on this matter and M.'s crying obviously did not affect his approach. Even though my wife asked for extra time to inspect the contents of the crate, this apparently was also not possible — based, in large part, on the apparent condition of the outside part of the crate (no obvious wear and tear). I'm guessing a tight delivery schedule was another factor in the delivery man's interest in leaving our address as quickly as possible.

In short, not a great time for my wife and she was quite upset about it. I would be grateful if you could share this experience with your shipping contact.

But all in all, this has been an excellent experience in dealing with your company — we love the chair, and really do appreciate and admire the passion that is so obvious in how you do business.

Thanks again, and we look forward to future dealings with your company.
G. and M.

I just wanted to say thank you. We really enjoy the chair and she can’t wait to actually use it with child. It is absolutely beautiful and the engraving is perfect. Thanks again and we’ll definitely keep you in mind in the future.

D.M.

It arrived and it is wonderful.

Thank you!
A.R.

Gary,

I apologize that I have not yet had a chance to reach out, but needless to say, the chair is beautiful and it was pristine after unpacking. My one month old fell asleep in my arms in it yesterday.

Thanks again, and all the best.
M.W.

Aubrey,

The rocking chair arrived in beautiful condition. The freight company was courteous, helpful, and arrived during the time frame they gave me. The crate was in great shape and was much lighter than I expected. The scent from the stain dissipated after about a week. I have enjoyed rocking in it and have even fallen asleep in it a couple times already.

Thanks again!
N. & S.F.

Hi Aubrey,

We received the chair today and it is absolutely gorgeous and sure to be a family heirloom for generations to come. I have to admit that I was hesitant to order a chair over the Internet. But with all the great reviews and your guarantee I thought it was worth the risk. I am glad that I decided to take that risk. The chair is so comfortable and beautiful I am sure I would have a very hard time finding anything comparable locally. It also mean a lot to my wife and I that the piece is handmade. Just looking at the chair one can immediately knows the care and craftsmanship put into it. We feel very privileged to have such a work of art in our house.

Thank you very much,
R. & E.P.

The chair has arrived and it is not only beautiful, but incredibly comfortable. Thank you so very much for my new chair!

Have a great day,
H.M.

Hi!

Just wanted to let you all know that we received our rocker in perfect condition and we love it! I rocked our daughter to sleep in it tonight — So sweet! My husband commented on the excellent craftsmanship; he thinks we’ll be passing it onto our daughter when she has a little one years from now! Keep up the great work, and thanks again!

D.F. and Family

I am a big fan of artisan work and people who have a love and passion for getting up everyday and doing what they were born to do. The things they create tend to make a connection between those who made it and those who use it. They are also all the more beautiful for it as well. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to travel to Wimberley and stop by the shop when we visit Texas in April.

Sincerely,
G.S.

Gary,

Sorry I haven't written to you sooner. I saw the beautiful rocker last Friday and had a chance to sit in it. Comfortable indeed!

. . . I can't tell you what a work of art the chair is. It will indeed make a wonderful heirloom in years to come.

I will get back to you in the future about the placque to be engraved under the seat of the rocker.

Thanks,
D.W.

PS: The chair was in a container secure enough to be part of Fort Knox.

J., her husband and the new baby are all enjoying rocking in the wonderful chair. Thank you for your beautiful work.

D.T.

Gary

Just wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the wonderful chairs you made for us back in the mid 90's. The rockers both still rock sweetly and look stunning while doing so. It's great to find a product whose long term performance matches its initial promise.

We wish you, your family and the rest of the crew at Gary Weeks and Company all the best.

With warmest regards,
S. & S.J.

Hi Mr. Weeks,

I was just in receipt of this wonderful walnut chair and just wanted to let you know that it arrived safely in perfect condition and it is absolutely beautiful, and my wife and I are absolutely delighted with it.
It is phenomenal.
Hopefully we will be doing business in the future.
Thank you so much, sir, for your craftsmanship and vision.

Thank you very much,
P.M.

Hi Aubrey,

Our rocking chair arrived today and we are very, very happy. It's a pleasure to look at, a pleasure to sit in and a pleasure to touch. Our first turns trying it out were pretty short, as it was still VERY cold from the truck, but once it warmed up to room temperature we rocked away happily. The angle of the seat and back is perfect, and the wood and the workmanship are both beautiful.

Thanks very much,

B.M.

Hi Gary,

I surprised my wife with the rocking chair last night and she is absolutely thrilled. It is truly a beautiful piece that we will use for years and years.

Thanks very much for the excellent craftsmanship.

M.B.

Gary:

I gave M. her chair last night and she was moved and awed and extremely appreciative of the beauty and integrity of the piece. It’s already become her chill-out vehicle. Thanks again,

B.O.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the chair!!
Thanks

J.P.

Gary,

We received the chairs two days ago.

They are fine pieces of work. The design, meticulous craftsmanship and the walnut you used are first rate. We have now sat in our own chairs for a couple of hours and found them to be very comfortable, although we knew they would be since we had a trial chair a few months ago.

Thanks,
L.M.

Gary,

We received it yesterday and it is beautiful. I've got a special place in my heart for my own, but M. really likes his. I won't tell him i got the better one.

Thanks again for the work on it and the attention to detail. It came out just as we wanted and as one guy here at work commented is "an heirloom" — a real keeper. Please pass along my thanks to the folks there!

Best,
J.W.

Hello,

My chair arrived in perfect condition and has received rave reviews for comfort from all the yard workers that tested it. A couple are skilled woodworkers and were extremely impressed with your workmanship, especially the seamless joints.

When I get it to the house I'll send you a picture of it in its new home.

Take care,
P.L.

Hi Aubrey We 've just received the rocker and we're very pleased to have it. The Rocker has been delivered yesterday in good condition. It's very beautiful and all the family loves it — "felicitation" for your job. Happy new year to your team

Regards
S., L., M., P.

Hi Gary,

She loved it . . . and it arrived in pristine condition! The rocker also arrived unexpectedly early allowing me to surprise her on Christmas morning. We are both very pleased with our new rocker and we tried our best to fit in as much rocking time as possible while we where at my parents house over the Christmas Holiday. My whole family found themselves looking for an opportunity to relax in your beautiful rocker and we soon found it the most inviting place in the house. I really don’t think that I could have picked out a better gift that celebrates family and the coming of our first new born child.

Thanks for the wonderful craftsmanship and true customer oriented service!

G.A.

Thanks Gary. The chairs are great. We got one for my Dad as it was his 60th birthday present and ours because we had our second child — the perfect anniversary gift. Thank you again for the very nice work.

P.N.

Folks,

Chair arrived, safe and sound. Elegant. Extraordinarily comfortable. Beautifully made.

Many thanks.
J.P.

Gary,

Although the package was damaged, the chair is okay. Well, actually it is perfect!!! It is exactly what I was looking for, and the new mother is very pleased. I really appreciate all of your help in tracking the chair and I know that we will enjoy this chair for many years to come. I hope that you and your family have a very good Christmas . . .

R.T.

It is beautiful and my husband loves it. I had to pry him out so that I could give it a try.

Thanks so much!
K.D.
