Hi Gary,

I had to get out of the chair and answer the phone, saw your email come in. That would be the only reason I would not be in the chair, enjoying it. Delivery and unboxing went fine. Let me get back to you with more detailed impressions, but for now, I'll just say I am very, very pleased. And thanks for your attention to check on the delivery.

S.S.

Hi Gary,

To be honest, I cannot remember if I have emailed you since the chair was delivered . . . So I'm making sure by emailing regardless.

The chair arrived without damage and is magnificent! S. loved it from the start, and has barely gotten out of it since coming back from the hospital on Tuesday with our baby boy (C.). It is remarkable how soothing the rocking motion is both for mother and baby, and she has dozed off numerous times with C. cradled comfortably in her arms.

It is a big hit, and was delivered with perfect timing!

Thanks again for all the effort.

Hi Gary!

I know that J. and I emailed you a few weeks ago to let you know that the chair arrived and that we love it, but I am writing to you again, b/c I just want you to know how much I LOVE THIS CHAIR!!!!! I sit in it everyday and it is so comfortable and beautiful! Thank you so much for such a fine piece of furniture. It already is the favorite piece of furniture we own!

Thanks again and take care,

A.Y.

I just wanted to let you know that the rocking chair was delivered on Wednesday and my husband and I absolutely love it! We could not be more thrilled!

Thank you so much for making us (and our soon-to-be-born baby) the beautiful rocking chair!
I know we will use it, cherish it and keep it for years to come!

Sincerely,
J.J.

Hello Gary.

We are already enjoying our beautiful chair. What an example of form and function. I have never experienced such smooth wood and we are amazed at its velvety touch even on the cross-grain ends. We are so appreciative of your art and craftsmanship in every detail of this family heirloom.

As an occupational therapist (retired), this chair is not only artful, but should be in every physical rehabilitation center, and, at least in every home. The vestibular (sometimes called the "sixth" sense) input from rocking forward and backward stimulates this important neurological system, which serves to balance and regulate output of the body's neuro-muscular centers. Putting it in behavioral terms, last night, I noticed, after rocking for several minutes a lingering feeling of well-being and relaxation. I felt that I had just arrived back from a brisk walk around the neighborhood or maybe even a massage! Just running your hands over the soft curves of this chair charges another sensory system — tactile input. Visual senses are awakened just walking into the living room . . . . . this chair just lures you to sit down!

So far, R. and I have not argued once about who gets to sit in our rocking chair, but we are definitely aware that most likely it will happen one day. We are thrilled, Gary, with your chair and impressed with your professional services surrounding the shipping, delivery, and customer satisfaction. We seldom see this kind of craft and art anymore and are so pleased that we have been a part of it. Thanks to you and to your family for your dedication and vision. It is poetry.

Sincerely,
L.S.

Dear Gary:

The rocker arrived in perfect condition and it is beautiful — everything I expected. My husband says it's a work of art. My son — who is 20 — first said, "How come you got that?" Then last evening (as he sat in it), he said, "I know I wondered why you bought this rocker, but I find myself sitting in it every time I come into the room." He was there again this morning! (My answer to him was that I bought it because it looked beautiful and I think rocking is soothing and relaxing for all of us.)

Thank you so much!

P.B.

Gary — it arrived yesterday (Tuesday) and I couldn't be happier. It is a very beautiful piece of craftsmanship and without a doubt one of the nicest things I own.

Thank you.

K.P.

Gary,

The chair arrived last Thursday without incident and we couldn't be happier. The wood and craftsmanship are superb. Anne's been sitting in the chair every free moment she gets and even dozed off in it the other night.

Thanks for a great transaction and for such a great chair. We're happy we found you, and we expect the chair to become a treasured family heirloom future generations will fight over.

Thanks again.

J. and A.Y.

It arrived promptly and in perfect condition — several days before your first estimated date. And it is gorgeous! Thank you very much,

S.

Hi. I called your office earlier to say how beautiful the chair is. Really special. I am sure T. will be pleased. Glad to have helped.

J.

Gary —

Yes, the chair arrived yesterday; it's beautiful . . . and very comfortable.

Thank you. That was the easiest furniture selection, purchase, and delivery ever!

D.R.

Gary and Leslie —

The chair arrived, as promised, in perfect condition. It is beautifully made, beyond our expectations, and we're delighted with it. Many thanks.

C. and F.K.

Gary

My chair is parked in my living room. Along with the foot stool. Apparently UPS called me yesterday, while I was away from work. Anyway, they delivered the chair and stool around 10 o'clock. Both are in excellent shape and true works of art. I am very pleased with the walnut wood. And very happy I decided on walnut.

I was only able to sit in it for a brief time, since I had to come back here to work. Anyway, it was a rather cold sit. The chair had not warmed up yet. The weather here has taken a drastic turn back toward winter, and I doubt if the UPS truck sat in a heated garage last night.

Next to my chair (here) are some selected reading assignments that will be going home with me. After I get a fire started in the stove, I will plant myself in the most comfortable chair in the universe.

Thank you very much.
C.S.

Hi Gary —

Just want to let you know that the chair arrived intact. It's a beautiful work of art and we all love it, especially J. You and your "company" can be proud of the work you do and the smiles you bring to so many. I know I'll be a repeat customer.

M.B.W.

We love the chair; really is functional art! Thanks again.

F.C.

Gary,

The rocker is here, and is comfy and gorgeous! J.D. arrived on 3/22, and my husband D. arranged to pick up the rocker before we were discharged from the hospital. We are looking forward to many years of enjoying the rocker.

thanks much,
S.K.

Hi Gary,

The rocker and stool arrived today and all I can say is "WOW"! After unpacking I sat and rocked awhile. The longer I rocked the More comfortable I got — it truly felt as if I melted right into the chair. The stool is also very comfortable, both as a foot rest and as a seat. And Beautiful — the construction, the graining of the cherry — I can't compliment you enough. Thank you so much, You have made Grandma and future Grandbaby very happy.

I.H.

Gary,

My rocker was indeed delivered Monday by a very nice deliveryman. The box, and the rocker inside, were in fine condition.

First, my rocking credentials: I have always had a bit of a rocking compulsion (it must be genetic, because my mother is the same way). As far back as I can remember, I have rocked in whatever chair I happened to be sitting in, whether or not it was intended to be a rocker. It's not much of an exaggeration to say that I have owned and worn out more rocking chairs than the average person will sit in in his or her lifetime.

I note all this only so that when I say that my Weeks Rocker is far and away the best rocking chair I have ever experienced, you will get the full import of my words. As soon as I uncrated the rocker and sat in it, my first remark was "Whoever designed this chair loves to rock." I had read all the testimonials on your website, but even so I was honestly amazed at the way the chair truly cradles and supports my body (for the record, I'm 6'1" and about 185 pounds). Actually, I scoffed at the comments from people who claimed to have fallen asleep in their rockers; however, later on the first night after mine arrived, I found myself so relaxed in it that I had a hard time staying awake. Even my wife, who doesn't share my enthusiasm for rocking and who considered my previous rocking chairs to be little more than eyesores, found my Weeks rocker to be both beautiful to look at and incredibly comfortable to sit in.

I am so thrilled that the weeks of waiting and anticipation paid off so well, and I am looking forward to enjoying my rocker for, well, the rest of my life! Once our new house is pulled together a bit more, I will forward pictures. Feel free to add my testimonial to your website if you like.

Thanks so much —
B.O.

Hello Gary:

Yes — we have them, and they're just what I expected: excellent!

I also apologize for not writing to you earlier that they'd arrived in good shape, and right on time . . . So thank you very much; you do truly fine work.

All the very best
H.B.

Please excuse my delay in responding to your email. But an email seems an inadequate vehicle by which to express my delight and gratitude. I hesitated sitting in my rocking chair at first, taken aback by its beauty. It is comfortable and enveloping; solid yet easy for me to move across the carpet; exquisitely built, and gorgeous to behold. I am thrilled with it. The cherry wood was a perfect choice – the chair looks at home in the room. All of you are artists of the highest order, and I am honored to have one of your pieces.

M.R.

Dear Gary,

No need to apologize. The chair is everything you said, and more.

My wife and I, and the baby, are all really enjoying the chair. It is very comfortable. Thank you so much.

Best regards,
R.Y.

Gary,

I meant to email you last night . . . The rocker arrived, and the box was damaged BUT the rocker is in perfect condition so everything is great. We love the rocker . . . I didn't realize how big it was (a good thing – I'm 6'1" and it fits me perfectly). It's very good looking and obviously well-designed . . . it almost rocks by itself! I'm glad there are still craftsmen like you who create genuine quality furniture.

Thank you,
M.C.

Gary,

Chairs were delivered in perfect condition and they are beautiful.
Thanks for making such a great product!

Best regards,
P.B.

Dear Gary,

I am the very fortunate recipient of your incredible rocking chair. I must thank you for a number of reasons.

Firstly, as a taller mom-to-be I cannot thank you enough for the pitch perfect proportions presented through your chair. I cannot ever remember my back position feeling better as the lumbar support is exactly where it should be. Secondly, that this was the gift chosen by my beloved partner suggests he understands me completely and we shall have a lifetime of memories with this chair as the backdrop.

. . . Everytime I sit in your chair I am reminded of the good times; the beauty, the excitement and the integrity that good design can bring to ones existence. That there are fewer of you able to do this only makes you more special.

In a David vs. Goliath world, I congratulate you and your family on your beautiful work and the impressive feat of succeeding both in business and in art.

Best wishes and continued success!
B.Q.

Dear Gary,

Thank you for your email and nice comment. The mountain has been a sacred place for more than 1000 years as is Mt. Fuji. Nowadays, however, people visit these places just for fun.

The rocking chair arrived safely this morning. The chair is more than I expected. First of all, it fits my body so well. The artistic curvature, especially the back, impressed me a lot. Now I can rock in this chair at night and enjoy a special liqueur made by me with wild blueberries, which I picked at the top of Hakusan (the white mountain) just before snowfall. I witnessed that bears were fond of these blueberries, and ate huge amount just before hibernation.

Sincerely,
K.T.

P.S., Your work is marvelous and survives ages. In contrast, although there are so many scientists, the majority of their work are forgotten as soon as they report their research.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that we got the rocker in great condition and although struggling to figure out where to fit it in our tiny house are pleased as punch! Still no baby, so it made it here in plenty of time :)

L.G.

Gary,

We did indeed receive the rocker last night.

It is indeed a work of art.

My wife was very pleased with it and it fits her great.

We look forward to many good hours in it with the new baby.

Thank you for your prompt email communication and professionalism.

J.H.

Gary,

They received the chair and are enjoying it more than they expected. I had the pleasure of seeing it on Saturday and have to admit that the craftsmanship is superb!! The chair will complement the back porch of their soon to be built home quite perfectly. After completion of the house, a second rocker may be in order . . . I'll keep you posted. Again, thank you for such a unique and extraordinary piece of art.

D.E.

Hi,

We have a newborn baby at home, and my wife reports that the rocker is PERFECT for nursing, the best chair we have. A selling point, perhaps?

P.S.

We unpacked the rocker last night. The wood is beautiful and workmanship is outstanding. The chair will be a lasting memory for our 22 anniversary. I wish I was home sitting in it now. I look forward to one day bringing it back to Texas.

Sincerely,
B.D.

Good Friday morning, Gary!

Given to me as a birthday present by my husband, your (now MINE!) rocking chair is the most beautiful, most comfortable piece of furniture we have every seen! It is obvious that it has been expertly crafted by caring hands from extraordinary selections of wood. It is quite perfect! It is the only chair that my oddly crooked tailbone has ever felt comfortably resting in!

Delivery went without a hitch, as the delivery man helped me unscrew, cut, tear and uncover this work of art that will be treasured for generations!

In fact, we are so impressed, we are considering purchasing some of your dining room furniture. Would you be able to send us a sample of the "hand-planed" surface? Or, if not possible, could you email a photo of this option to us?

Fine job on your website, as well! It is chock full of useful information!

Many thanks and best wishes!
V.B.

Gary,

Thank you so much for following-up. Yes, we received the chair and it is absolutely beautiful. My wife loves it!!

It looks great in the room with the baby furniture. I'll send you a picture if I get a chance. (in between naps . . .)

We are both looking forward to many years in this fine chair.

Thank you again.

Take care,
S.K.

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to let you know that we love the rocking chair you made for us. Sometimes, especially late at night, rocking is the only way we can get our little 8 week old Brendan to sleep. Thank you and Happy New Year!

K.C.

Gary,

Sorry that it has taken me so long to respond but this fall has been very busy.

The rocker is my office chair where I spend 40+ hours per week seated in it. (I am a psychiatrist). By now I have logged over 600 hours in the rocker. I believe it has helped me with my struggle with knee arthritis which was aggravated by hip surgery in 2005 and the bad effects of the Eames Chair I had been using. Thank you.

Regards and Happy New Year,
S.P.

Gary:

I could tell by the cardboard and wood crate that you made to ship the chair, that I was about to appreciate what you had put together inside that crate. Maybe it was because the feet on the platform of the crate were made from scraps of walnut! Or possibly, because these days I'm not used to seeing such a carefully protected package sent via truck freight. While unscrewing the crate, I knew then, the quality and the care you take in your production.

Thanks for the wonderful rocker, it's everything I expected and more than I deserve . . . but I'm still gonna enjoy it. And thank you for the attentiveness and friendliness you extended for such a small order.

If you could be so kind as to mail me out a few additional Gary Weeks & Company furniture catalogs, I'd like to pass them along to some local friends. Thanks again, and the previous invitation is always open to you in this part of the northern left coast.

Enjoy your holidays.
Sincerely,
J.K.

Thanks, Gary. Yes, we got them and they are gorgeous. They were well packed too.

These chairs are for me and my wife and companion of 34 years. We hope to rock our way through another 34. We won't start rocking until Christmas, though.

BTW, your follow-up is impressive. Like everything else about your business, it shows quality and care.

Merry Christmas.
J.A.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

yes, the furniture has arrived. It is all what we anticipated — just beautiful. The chair is really, really comfortable. All items are perfect workmanship. Thank you. It was our pleasure doing business with you. Happy Holidays!

H.M.

Dear Gary

Apologies for the delayed feedback I have been away from an email facility for a few days.

The chair arrived in perfect condition and is now hidden in the garage awaiting Christmas Day. Our children know and are very excited as well. Like you I have no doubt that J. will love it !

Thank you once again to your and your team. The service is faultless and so is the product. I hope that you all prosper and continue to enjoy what you do so well.

Should you ever have any inquiries from England, please feel free to pass on my contact details so that I can give you a reference!

Have a happy Christmas and a great New Year !

A.L.

Gary: The Rocker did arrive at about 1:00 p.m. today. It is in great condition and is beautiful. Thanks so much for your work! We look forward to a lifetime of enjoyment. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

M. and M.C.

Gary, the chair has arrived, and made it through both customs and quarantine during the week. Bet you are glad to know there is no woodworm! It is sitting in our spare room, still in bubble wrap, with the door guarded by a "do not enter" sign made by my 13 year old daughter. It is fantastic to have received it by Christmas, I am sure T. will be surprised and delighted when he receives it on Christmas morning.

Many thanks.

Hope you and your family have a Happy Christmas
W.P.

Good morning Gary,

I received the rocker Tuesday in perfect condition. It really is a beautiful piece of furniture, and a testament to your craftsmanship. My wife and I look forward to holding many children in it!

Thanks for your help,
M.H.

The rocking chair arrived, and it is without a doubt one of the finest pieces of furniture I've seen. The quality and workmanship are impeccable. Thank you so much for the fine work.

D.C.

The chair arrived as scheduled @ 2:00 pm this afternoon in perfect condition. It is beautiful and comfortable!

We will have a very good sit-down Christmas.

Best to you and all of your family.

Fondly,
C. & R.C.

i was out of town when it was delivered to my office — it sits and looks great

thanks

J.L.

Just wanted to let you know that we received our chair yesterday via UPS Freight. It arrived in excellent condition and is presently sitting in our living room. My wife loves it. I know we will cherish this chair for years and pass it on to our children.

Thanks for making this Christmas special.

S.W.

hi gary,

just wanted to let you know our chair arrived on schedule, and in perfect condition.

we love it! it's really a work of art, and as comfortable as we'd hoped for. the older we get this is becoming more important.

the rocker is in our kitchen, and is about the first thing we see in the morning. it's already feeling like an old friend, and it's real easy to look at.

anyway, it was a pleasure doing business with you. thanks for all your follow-up work making sure we knew what to expect regarding shipping.

if we need anything in the way of furniture in the future we will surely keep you in mind.

hope you have a merry christmas.

J. & M.A.

It's a beautiful piece of work, and graces the room in which it rocks. Thanks to your folks there for a wonderful rocker.

N.K.

Gary,

The chair and table arrived today. They are in perfect condition. I'm very happy with the furniture and the overall experience. Thanks for all your efforts!

D.C.

The chair arrived and it is beautiful!

Our "late in life" baby came early, things actually started happening a few hours after I placed my order with you, and we could not be happier with either delivery. Our older daughters, both teenagers, have requested that the chair be passed onto them . . .

Thank you for your great creation and your wonderful customer service!

N.P.

LOVE THE CHAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't had the chance to write. They are gorgeous. Thank you! All the workmen, too, are envious of the workmanship. So fine.

I'll be hosting many a fine, long meal with them, for sure.

All the best, and thanks —
B.S.
