Hi to the Weeks family. I do have one problem with my rocking chair: my husband won't get out of it. It looks like it will severely test our ability to share.

It is truly a work of art. He likes to pet it too.

P.S.

Gary:

The rocking chair was received on 12/12/2007. It is very, very cool; thank you for your fine craftsmanship. For your notes, the crate was damaged; one of the bottom wooden rails was torn off and the cardboard box was damaged. The rocking chair made it through but you may want to mention the rough handling to your shipper. No complaint, just information for your purposes; I know what it's like to run a buisness and you need information to properly manage your logistics. Thanks again for the rocking chair, it is perfect and will be an extraordinary Christmas present. Merry Christmas to you and I'm sure we will do business again.

Aubrey and Gary –

The Weeks Rocker in Walnut, #1893, arrived today at 2:45pm. It took 5 minutes to unwrap and 30 minutes to cut up the wood and cardboard to stuff into the trash can. It arrived in excellent shape and is quite a stunning piece of art. A great Christmas gift and I'm sure Cassandra will enjoy knitting in her rocker for years to come.

Thanks
G.B.

Aubrey,

Yep, just got the call, it’s scheduled to deliver today. I want to thank you and your family for the great care, craftsmanship and customer support you all show in your work. Have a great Christmas and a very happy New Year!

I know this will be a very special present which will be with our family for a long time.

Warmest regards,
E.S.

Dear Gary

We have enjoyed your/our rocking chair for nearly a year now, and without a doubt, it is the most comfortable rocker in existence!.

The chair has been much admired, but none of our friends have been brave enough to order one, despite my assurances as to how easy it is and what incredible value it is with the present exchange rate.

Anyway, this is just a short note to say thanks again to you and your team.

Happy Christmas!
A.

Hi Gary:

Thanks buddy, the art work arrived today in perfect shape. In fact, I'm sitting on your fantastic walnut side chair as I'm writing this. My ass feel great and Marilyn is able to recognize me by the "J" on the back of your chair, which by the way is tasteful and beautiful. You ARE da man!

J.K.

Aubrey,

My wife and I love our new rocking chair. I thank Mr. Weeks for sending a rocking chair sooner than December second. My wife said that this rocking chair is now considered a family heirloom, and rightfully so, being that it is very well crafted.

My confidence in your company is based on how informative your website is. Plus your company is confident in your product. I admire that a lot. Plus talking on the phone with Mr. Weeks sealed the deal. I knew I was going to get a great product. I got more than that. I have something that will be passed down for generations to come.

Thank you so much for your product. Have a great Thanksgiving, Christmas and a wonderful new year. I will spread the word of your rocking chairs.

Until then . . .
A.S.

I have been meaning to write today to let you all know — it has been one of those days in the markets.

We received the crate on Thursday and I was able to unpack it only on Friday (got home late Thursday). I had a half day off on Friday since I had to babysit my newborn daughter. So I unpacked it Friday afternoon.

The crate arrived safely, without any damage, and I slid the chair right out just as directed.

What a beauty. It really looks fabulous. The inlay is just what I had in mind — I really appreciate the work on it. And the wood and the construction is just solid and really beautiful.

And it was a treat to spend Friday afternoon with the chair unpacked and the ability to sit and rock in it. My daughter loves it — just to be held and rocked.

And I'd like Gary to know that my wife — who eyed it suspiciously when she first saw it — eventually sat in it and rocked and I think has come around to it (though it might take a couple of weeks for the admission to come out). I think she appreciated the fact that Italy appeared in front of Tennessee and Kentucky lest anyone wonder who's in charge here.

But we love it — it's a very welcome addition to our home and something that I hope we will have and cherish for many many years.

Thanks again for the wonderful craftsmanship, the beautiful materials and the attention to service. It has been a pleasure to work with you all.

I'll get a picture in the mail, and I hope to hear about Gary's Italy trip when he returns.

Ciao,
J.W.

Aubrey,

It did take a leap of faith, but when I first talked to you I was reassured! It also takes a leap of faith for you to make a chair for someone you don't know who may not take care of it.

The chair is beautiful. I smile each time I see it, sit in it, or rock. And it fits me, 5'3", and my husband, 6', just as you said it would. I have had to restrict his use of the chair to be sure it is always available for me. In fact, I have threatened to install a "rockometer" in order to monitor the number of rocks he has put on the chair. Do you have a "rockometer"?

I would love a tour of the factory, and I would like to meet you all.

Thank you,
S.M.

We love the chair; it is beautiful and comfortable, just as advertised.

M. & P.H.

My chair arrived in perfect condition. It exceeds all expectations —beautiful in contour and in workmanship — a feast for my eyes and comfort for my back as well as a perfect fit for my bottom! Many thanks!!!!

D.S.

Gary,

The chair is a winner! Thanks so much.

A.G.

. . . once again thank you for the rush on the rocker — everyone loves it.

M.S.

Sorry to be so slow in getting back to you — we have been out of town. However, we were here when our chairs arrived promptly and in excellent condition. They sit even better than I remember and my husband, who was just a tad dubious about what I was doing, declared them to be "really comfortable" about five minutes after they arrived. And they are just as beautiful as they are comfortable. It is great that there are still artisans like you out there plying your craft. We know we will be sitting pretty for years to come.

Thanks,
B.E.

Gary/Aubrey

My rocking chair arrived today in perfect condition. Great job packing. It's beautiful, better than the picture. Great craftsmanship. I'll treasure it.

Thanks,
T.M.

Thank you for the note, Gary!

I have been meaning to write to let you know we received the chair in perfect condition on Tuesday, when my husband was home. It's a lovely creature!

Many thanks for your work!

Sincerely,
K.W.

Hi Gary & Aubrey –

The chair arrived as scheduled on Friday afternoon – it is absolutely beautiful! My husband really loves it. BTW, you do a great job with the packaging. Despite the fact that the carton was fairly beat up & part of the wood frame was broken, the chair was in perfect condition.

Best regards,
C.L.

Gary,

We love our new Weeks Rocker. The rocker arrived on Tuesday, and S. delivered our first child on Wednesday (4 days early). I joke with her that she held out until the rocker arrived. The chair looks perfect in our nursery and we look forward to years of pleasure rocking with our baby.

Again, thank you for providing such a perfect chair for our family.
R.H.

The chair is a work of art. We are really enjoying the comfort and the back and forth. It is tremendous therapy for a replacement knee.

Many Thanks!
B.W.

Aubrey,

The chair arrived in perfect condition and he says it is great for reading in. We hope that eventually it might turn out to be great for rocking babies in too, but time will tell.

Thank you very much for your extremely attentive service.

Best regards,
C.P.

Dear Aubrey, Gary and Staff,

The chair arrived yesterday . . . Oh how beautiful!! . . . and how amazingly comfortable it is!? Wow!

Until my next order, Thank you! Thank you!

Sincerely,
G.S.

P.S. — The babies are scheduled to be delivered on Friday!

Dear Gary,

Thanks for the message. My wife and I have been traveling a great deal so I apologize for the slow response. I was definitely wanting to write you after we had a chance to "sit" with the chair a bit (no pun intended ;-) and give you our thoughts.

In short, we really love it! Your work is as beautifully crafted and detailed as you communicate over the website and our expectations were not disappointed in any regard. My wife and I are different in size and honestly when we first pulled it out of the box, it's size and presence was larger than we expected. I believe we both thought it might be slightly smaller. As a result, I was worried that I would love it, but L. would potentially feel a bit dwarfed. However, I am not quite sure how you have done it, but you have managed to craft a chair that is comfortable for someone of my size 6' and 180lbs-ish and also for my wife of 5'-5" and petite weight . . . well done!

We both feel that it is extremely comfortable and has a very well balanced character of sturdiness with graceful and soft transitions in all the appropriate detail points. We both gain a tremendous amount of joy in just running our hands over the smooth maple arms and it is a real pleasure to "feel" excellent craftsmanship. One of my favorite details at the moment is the expressed connection at the edge of the armrest where it has been mortised all the way thru for the vertical support. However, I keep finding more "favorites" as I enjoy studying the subtleties as we go along.

The maple is beautiful and your level of finish is perfect. We really have no complaints and are thrilled that we now have such a beautiful piece that our children will grow up with and then have one day for their own. We might just be calling you up again for another one so that both our kids may have one to enjoy down the road!

Regarding the delivery, it turned out to be ok, but we were anticipating it on Tuesday the 11th so I am glad that someone was here to accept the delivery (we live in an apartment). Luckily, the chair was delivered with no damage so it did not matter in the end that we were not able to review the delivery condition prior to signing. I appreciate your follow up.

In closing, you are a true master craftsman and we feel blessed to have such a wonderful piece of functional art in our living room to enjoy for many years. Our thanks to you and your family and staff for the quality, professionalism, communication and follow thru. Having done this all remotely, you all have made the experience a very smooth and seamless one.

Many thanks.
C and L.H.

Thank you so much. The chair is beautiful and I am glad we decided to go with the cherry. You are a trueartisan and craftsman and your work is lovely.

Thanks again,
M.K.

Gary,

The chair is GREAT! For some reason your email went to my junk email and I did not get it until I was cleaning out my mail. I am sorry. I have been living in MY chair and love it. Thank you so much for your speedy delivery but most of all for the beautifully hand crafted chair.

Best to you and your family,
B.K.

Gary,

The rocker arrived as scheduled. The truck came while R. was at the grocery and I was able to hide it before she returned. We opened the box the next day. We were very pleased with what we removed from the box. R., our family and I thought the chair was the most beautful and comfortable we had seen. We have two more grandchildren on the way, we will rock babies for many pleasant hours.

Thanks
W.S.

Hi Gary,

Got the curly cherry rocker this morning. There was no damage and the chair is beautiful. Very nice work and a pleasure to sit in. Thanks so much for being so dependable and easy to work with. Hope to do more business someday. Thanks again for beautiful and comfortable rocker.

D.B.

You bet Gary! I thank you and salute your artistry

all persuasions — no violence

G.D.

Thank you — the chair and stool arrived as promised, and is even lovelier than I had remembered.

E.K.

Dear Gary,

Yes, I meant to e-mail you earlier! The chair is fine. I love it. BAX Global was easy to deal with, and they even specified a range of four hours for delivery, which was helpful.

Just so you're informed, there was a small hole in one side of the box, about large enough for a finger, but it was opposite the back of the chair. No problem.

It's really soothing to have the beautiful, comfortable chair and stool.

Thank you.
M.N.

Gary,

Our chairs arrived on Thursday as planned. The surprise was perfect — my wife drove in the driveway just as they were being unloaded from the delivery truck. They're beautiful, and we're very pleased.

Thanks again,
J.S.

It's here!

Looks very handsome. We are happy. We are even talking about a cherry chair, but I'll have to come back to you on that.

Thanks — it's beautifully crafted and of course comfortable.

Best,
D. and D.M.

Gary,

The rocking chair was delivered this afternoon as scheduled. Within 10 minutes of unwrapping it, my grandson was asleep in my arms (see attached)!

It’s a lovely chair and is in perfect condition.

Thank you,
S.S.

Gary,

The rocking chair I recently purchased from you has exceeded my expectations.

I purposely waited until I had the chair a couple of months to see if the novelty of the rocker would wear off . . . but it hasn't. I've always wanted a good rocking chair to sit in to read or chat with others and now I have it. I never tire of sitting in the chair; it's a great fit for my body and back. I find myself sliding my fingers up and down the arms, the wood is so smooth and appealing. And of course, what I've always liked about your chair, every inch of the entire chair is just as smooth as the arms. I enjoy a good rock, and your chair has given me just that

I wrote at the beginning of my note that the chair has exceeded my expectations. I'm amazed how well the walnut wood with its natural finish fits in with the light oak that I have throughout the majority of my house. This chair, like all of the other chairs I've seen that you've crafted, is a work of art, especially with the magnificent grain and the way you've used the grain to bring out the beauty of the chair. Such a seemingly simple design, yet the chair stands out as a thing of beauty over all the other furniture in our living area.

I see you've delivered approximately 23 more chairs since I acquired #1767 in May. If these most recent purchasers were looking for a beautiful chair to rock to their heart's content, I'm sure you have 23 more delighted customers. Come on, West Virginia!!

My thanks to you, Austin, and the rest of your team for your passion for excellence. I observe it and feel it every day!!


S.S.

Hello Gary and Aubrey:

The rocker and table are great. The color is nice, the wood is well matched, and it's so comfortable that we're finding excuses to sit down.

Only problem was the delivery service. They did not come in their time window, then came at the end of their second time window.

Can you tell me more about this mahogany? Is it Honduran?

Thanks again, and thanks for this follow up note.
J.B.

Mr. Weeks,

The rocking chair arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was great. Thanks for a beautiful rocking chair that I'll pass down to my children.

B.C.

Dear Gary,

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful rocker. It looks wonderful up in the SOU library.

Thank you
S.C.

Gary,

The chair is beautiful, she was surprised, and she loves it. Thanks for helping me make such a memorable birthday for my wife and for providing us with a piece of furniture that will become a family heirloom.

Sincerely,
J.R.

Hi Gary!

Yes, S. got the rocker on Monday!! I've been out of town since then, and just got home to the good news. She LOVES it, as does the grandmother (my sister), the new dad, and everyone else that's rocked in it. I can't wait to visit and see the new baby as well as the new rocker. Thank you and your team so very much for getting it out so quickly. The baby had been home only 2 days before it arrived. And please don't forget to let me know if you ever get any pecan wood.

Thank you again,
S.K.

I had meant to write a bit sooner, but things have been quite busy. We have received the rocker, of course, and it is every bit as beautiful and comfortable as the ones in your showroom. We have already gotten a number of compliments on it, as well as great enjoyment from simply sitting in it and reading in our sun room. I fear that when our son is born I will no longer get to sit in it much . . . we already fight over it a bit, and I won't have any leverage once nursing starts. We will be sure to send you pictures.

J.S.

What a beauty! All went well with delivery and I am enjoying sitting with a view of my garden in my new cherry rocker.

Thanks very much.
M.R.

Thanks for the note. Indeed I am enjoying the chair. Good spot to watch the Mets and Yankees (nothing against the Rangers or Astros of course).

All the Best,
A.B.

Dear Gary;

Yes, I am truly enjoying your rocking chair. Its very comfortable as well as beautiful, and with my bad back, I am a happy guy.

Thanks,
I.V.

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know that we love the rocker — as does anyone else who sits in it . . . unfortunately, I'm at a stage in my pregnancy where I can't fully enjoy it (I need to lean forward not back), but I'm looking forward to many day and nights of rocking our son.

Thanks to you and your family for the good work you're doing in the world.

Blessings,
A.S.

We LOVE our rocker . . . thanks so much. It has been a life saver for our new little girl N.

I spoke to Aubrey yesterday — but the rocker arrived Monday with NO problems.

You have all been amazing.

I'll send pictures of N. and her dad in the rocker in a bit.

Best,
K.S.

[Continued]
Gary,
Hi there. No time to weed these out for just good rocker shots, but thought you would love the ones of my husband D. holding little N. in your masterpiece! :-) Feel free to use in your marketing.

All my best wishes and many thanks,
K.

Gary,

Today our son turned 6 months and we've had our beautiful rocker for just one week longer than that. Upon opening the crate I knew immediately that my wife and I really had our first work of art for our home. It compliments our nursery perfectly and would compliment the style of any room in our home that we might later choose for it. Your chair rocks like a champ and certainly served its purpose rocking our son to sleep for those first testing weeks. One thing I did not expect was for the chair to be so soft and touchable. I have never before experienced such incredible smoothness in a sanding job; nor have I seen any craftsmanship glow the way this chair does!

Now that your rocker has been officially crowned a family heirloom, I had to send you our sincerest thanks. Your special care in sizing and cutting our chair back inscription is priceless, and I recommend it to anyone looking to make their chair truly unique. You really do offer an incredible piece at truly a bargain price. You should continue to be proud of the work you and your shop turns out. I look forward to purchasing a dining room set from you in a few years when we are more capable. Thank you again!

S.P.

Gary:

We love the rocker! The craftsmanship is remarkable; the design inspired. It is seemingly molded to one's body without a pressure point to be found! You absolutely do not need a cushion. We had some friends over last weekend and they loved it as well. I wouldn't be surprised if you receive some additional orders as a result, but I suspect that's how you get most of your business.

It is reassuring to know that there is still someone out there that understands quality and takes pride in their work.

Regards,
G.U.

Hi Gary,

We love the rocking chair, and it fits so well in our new home. The rocker is beautiful, functional, and so comfortable! At some point this summer, J. will be delivering a desk for our study, and I'll be sure that he has a chance to rock for a few minutes. Thanks very much!

K.H.

Hello Gary,

Thank you very much for following up with us. I have been meaning to contact you. The chair is wonderful. I must admit I was a little skeptical about some of the claims, but it fits me (5'11"), my father (6'5"), and my mother (5'1") perfectly. The craftsmanship is top notch, the delivery process was great, and the chair looks like it will be a wonderful addition to our lives. Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Z.G.

Thank you, Gary. We are very pleased with the rocker and it looks very nice in our nursery. We look forward to many hours of happy rocking when our baby gets here! It could be any day now.

C.D.

Gary,

The rocker is both an anniversary gift and will become an heirloom for our family. It is beautiful.

Thank you,
M.A.
