Dear Gary,

The rockers and table arrived yesterday afternoon. The rocker is very comfortable.

We do have one problem though in that the color does not match the other cherry furniture that we just purchased. I believe your rocker is natural color and the other new furniture has a reddish stain. Can anything be done to make them match?

L.H.

happy birthday!!! thanks for the chair!!! i love it, fits me perfectly. i look forward to collecting more of your pieces of art work. thank you again,

S.M.

Aubrey,

Thanks for your message. You were indeed correct — and right on schedule! We received the rocking chair this morning and have been sitting in it all night. It is really, really beautiful. Thank you so much!

Best regards,
B.R.

Gary,

The rocker arrived in perfect condition, it’s beautiful and comfortable. A leap of faith maybe, but your web site is so well done that what we've received is exactly what we ordered. The bonus is the fit and finish which is best appreciated by touch. I will not hesitate to recommend you when my friends admire your work.

I can’t wait to rock our Grandson,

M.G.

Gary: The rocker was delivered this afternoon and it is beautiful and arrived in perfect condition. Our hats are off to you, your son and all your workers — what a great job you do and certainly it will become a family heirloom.

J. and P.G.

He loved it! And it is beautiful. Thank you very much. It is inside now. Can those rockers be put outside?

M.S.

Dear Gary,

The chair arrived in great shape and is indeed the most comfortable rocker I’ve ever sat in.

Thank you,
G.R.

Hello Gary –

The chair has arrived! The delivery company did a great job — they called yesterday and gave me a 2-hour delivery window; they showed up at the beginning of that window. The package appeared completely unmolested, and the contents (chair and footstool) look perfect.

Little H. was a bit impatient to arrive; his due date was April 5, but he was born on April 2, so he's one week old today. K. is still asleep, trying to catch up after a long night, so she has not yet seen the chair, but I'm sure she will love it. I'll try to get a picture of mother and babe in the chair when the opportunity arises.

Thank you very much for your flexibility in finding a solution when our original specification proved problematic. I'm sure the chair and stool will be family heirlooms handed down from generation to generation.

S. and K.B.

Thanks! The chair is gorgeous . . . the pictures don't even do it justice! We're looking forward to many years of rocking!

C.S.

Gary,

Received the stools and rocker on Monday, as you discovered. Stools are unpacked and sitting at my counter. After the rest of my counter top is installed on Monday, I will be enjoying my morning coffee from one. I partially unpacked the rocker, enough to sit in it and rock, but left most of the bubble wrap around the base as I want to cover it up if anyone is working nearby. I am thrilled with all of the furniture.

Thanks
A.H.

Hey Gary,

I received the rocker. It is beautiful. My boyfriend loves it!

Thanks for everything.
J.S.

Gary,

Got the chair allright, and it's beautiful. No scratches, no blemish of any kind. I appreciate your checking up on it, and you can be sure that if we are ever in need (or want) of another rocking chair, we'll be calling you.

Thanks again for a wonderful product,
K.K.

Hello Aubrey and Gary from Nantucket!

Our new rocker and table have arrived safely. We have uncrated, and Frank is merrily rocking away as I write this.

Thank you for fashioning this truly exquisite furniture. We will treasure it.

Warm Regards,
C.W.

The chair arrived in perfect condition. We love it — it is beautiful and everyone that sits in it finds it very comfortable.

Your team has been very professional and great to work with.

I still would love to have the mesquite weeks rocker. Maybe someday . . .

Thanks
D.R.

Gary,

A long overdue follow, we love the chair, right size, comfortable, very well built and stylish, next on my list is a table from you!

Thanks
D.A.

Gary

You have mastered the secret to good web sales and customer relations. Communications.
Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to getting the furniture.

Be well
J.S.

Gary, I LOVE my rocker!!! I have been on the phone all day inviting people to come over to sit in it.

I was worried that it might not get here in time. I called the delivery people and they said Friday. Then day before yesterday, I was shopping and I got the call. It was at my door. I was at first annoyed because nobody told me about the change, but he waited and was so nice about it . . . and then when I opened that box . . .

No surprise. I knew it would be beautiful. But when I sat in it, it was like it was made for me. I wanted to cancel everything else I had going and just rock.

Thank you for making these terrific chairs, Gary. I've always believed that art should be functional. You prove that the functional can be art.

I might even share with guests. If they're nice.

Thank you. I will cherish it forever and give it to my new grand daughter as a wedding gift.

All the best to you and your talented family.
S.R.

The rocker is beautiful, I know we will enjoy it.

Thank you,
S.B.

Chair arrived today in pristine condition. It exceeds all of my expectations and you should be hearing from it's new owner soon.

To the Weeks Family and organization,

I took possession of Rocker #1753 in mid 2007. The rocker was impressive then and has improved over time. The workmanship is beyond enviable. It has survived the repeated assaults of my teenage son and his friends. I feel as though my rocker has adjusted to my body, or maybe vice versa, to the betterment of both. I can honestly say that it is my only material possession that I would grieve the loss of. Its true value far exceeds the purchase price.

Thank you,
S.G.

Dear Gary,

We received the rocker yesterday — in perfect condition. It is absolutely gorgeous! The expert craftsmanship is clear, and the monogramming really makes it special. Thank you!

Now, we can’t wait for our new baby to be born, so that we can put the chair to good use! Thank you again!

J.C.

Gary,

Inspector Closeau went to Colusa and found the table and chair in perfect condition.

Very beautiful wood and much appreciated.

M.S.

Gary —

Our rocker arrived yesterday in perfect condition. As soon as it was out of the box my three year old asked to be rocked. The chair is more beautiful than expected and all that was promised about comfort is true. I enjoyed an evening rocking while my three other children had a glorious time with the giant box it came in. Thanks again — it is a pleasure to own something so nice.

J.

I have not seen it yet but my kids raved about it. Thank you for great customer service. I have already recommended it to several people.

D.H.

Gary,

Its all here safe and sound. It looks like it has been there forever. The table top is remarkable. The time taken to lay out the boards in a way that balances the figures is obvious, and very much appreciated. I looked at all of the seats, they are all very nicely matched too. I'll send some pictures with comments in a few days. I’m amazed at the correspondence between the figures on the seats and human sitting anatomy.

The fellows who delivered the furniture did a really great job getting it in. They did finally take off the top but only after sizing up the door situation themselves. It was a 1/2 inch socket and well as you would expect, that was the only one missing from my set. A quick trip to the hardware store solved that.

Thanks so much
Merry Christmas to you and yours
J. and T.A.

Gary:

First, if I were to inform you that the rocker arrived but was a debacle of kindling with really nothing left to return, would you send me a new one with no questions asked? If that be the case, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Disregard the following.

We received the rocker in excellent shape on the 10th of December. I placed it in our living room and four days later my beloved discovered it — finally! That is less a comment on her powers of observation and more of a comment that our lives have been a bit hectic. I now find her sitting in it, rocking, with what I can only describe as a slightly goofy grin on her face. I believe that she likes it.

I must tell you that it is rare in my experience to find excellent artistic ability combined with superb craftsmanship and we couldn't be more pleased with the rocker, in spite of the fact that it was made with firewood. Thank you. It will be an heirloom to be passed on to the next generation.

Happy Holidays. I look forward to hearing from you. And if the first paragraph applies, please disregard the rest of this missive.

M.V.

Gary,

Yes, the chair arrived safe & sound. I was really impressed with the crating. It is absolutely beautiful, we love it.

Sincerely,
B.F.

Hi,

My rocking chair came today and I am writing to say how handsome it is. I had asked Gary to pick out one with as much grain as possible, and the one that I got looked even better than I had hoped for.

Happy holidays for all of you,
J.G.

Dear Gary,

The chair is very well made and the customer service was beautiful. Admirable!

Thank you so much,
E.H.

Hello Mr Weeks and Company,

I just wanted to let you know that we got the chair and it's beautiful.

My wife hasn't seen your website, but her comments echo what others have already said:

"It's beautiful"
"A work of art"
"Looks like it belongs in a museum"

She especially made me smile when she sat in the chair and said, "It fits me so nice, is this made for short people?"

It felt great to give this to her from the whole family. Thanks for your quick, professional, and beautiful work!

Best Regards,
C.B.

Aubrey:

Our rocking chair arrived yesterday in great shape and we love it. Your craftsmanship is like a work of art. We hope to enjoy it for many years and pass it on to our children.

Thank you for your wonderful workmanship and customer service.
B.G.

Gary,

The rocking chair arrived yesterday. It's beautiful and looks to be in perfect condition after the trip. J. loves it and took pictures of it in the nursery to send to her sister and mom. You may or may not know, but there is a new trend for moms-to-be to get a "push" present. Your rocker has made a fantastic push present.

Thank you and happy holidays to you and your family.

D.G.

Gary:

Many thanks for your email. Let me start by quoting my 12 year old son, who said about 2 days after the chair arrived, "you know Dad, this is the first time in my life that I have ever looked at a piece of furniture and thought it was truly beautiful."

The chair arrived in perfect condition and is, as my son noted, truly beautiful. I have been sitting in it every chance I get (often to the consternation of my family members who would like me to do some other things around the house). I typically am quite methodical about making purchases, but this was an extreme example. I contemplated ordering a rocking chair from you for about ten years. I'm sorry I waited so long, but I'm also at a point when I can truly appreciate the effort that went into making it. I like it more every time I sit in it.

You make a remarkable finished product, of which you should be very proud.

Best regards,
J.H.

Hello!

I just received my rocking chair and I could not be happier! The baby is due tomorrow so the timing was perfect. Thank you for your assistance and for such a lovely chair.

Warmly,
K.M.

Gary,

Yes, I'm rocking in it right now and marveling at its comfort. Actually, we're fighting over it. Good job: craftsmanship, finish, design, service. Thanks.

L.P.

Dear Gary Weeks,

The chair arrived on Monday and it is spectacular. The walnut is deep and luminous.

To be honest, I had wondered how a wooden rocking chair could be as comfortable as you and your customers claim. But it's true! The chair is comfortable to both me (I'm 5'11") and my husband (He's 5'8"). Even though it's made of wood, it's incredibly soft and supportive.

We are expecting our second child in a couple of weeks, and even at 9 months pregnant I can rock comfortably with our daughter, who's three. I'm so looking forward to nursing and rocking our baby, too.

You really do make a beautiful chair.

Thanks,
S.M.

Hi Gary,

We delivered the chair to our Birthday brother, and packaging protected everything. Is a beautiful chair, very comfortable, and something we would love to have for ourselves some day.

Thanks for making this whole process so pleasant and keeping us informed of options, and the progress.

Please take care,
P.D.

We love it. Thank you so much!

A.P.

Hello Gary, and everyone else at Weeks & Co.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for the rocking chair. It is as beautiful and comfortable as advertised! My wife is thrilled, and therefore I am happy :)

Thank-you so much.
R.C.

Gary,

Thank you so much! We love the beautiful chair and stool, and look forward to all our future years of happy rocking. They are so comfortable, good to touch, and elegant from every angle! We will treasure them. Your website is fantastic and gives a very true impression of the quality of your work, but the furniture itself really is more than we could have hoped for.

Gary,

The chair is perfect. My wife loves it. I plan to ask for one for me once our porch is finished.

Sincerely,
S.W.

Gary,

The rocking chair is absolutely great! It is very clear that it was made with a lot of care and attention to detail. Thank you very much for checking in!

Best regards,
G.R.

Hi Gary and Company,

The chair is wonderful! My wife and I are very pleased. It is an excellent combination of simple beauty, function, and comfort. Thank you!

PS. We are already thinking in terms of another rocker eventually and know exactly who to trust for such quality work and service.

W. & E.W.

Good afternoon Gary,

Our beautiful rocker arrived safely today. Hats off to you for the incredible attention to detail and workmanship!!! It's a beautiful and extremely comfortable rocker that we will enjoy for years and pass on to our children.

C.R.

Hi We received our chair today. I came home early today to be there for the delivery. The chair arrived in perfect shape and it is now "installed" in a place of honor in our living room. I was privileged to have the first session of sitting and rocking. The chair is so comfortable and fits me like it was custom designed just for me. The only chair I have ever sat in that is comparable was a Sam Maloof rocker at a Smithsonian exhibit a few years ago that was set up so visitors could sit in it. The workmanship is lovely, each joint perfect and the overall look and feel perfection. Thanks so much. I am looking forward to seeing how my wife M. likes sitting in the rocker. I hope she doesn't like it too much or we will have to order a second one!.

B.H.

Then later . . .

My wife M. loves the chair and thinks it is beautiful. You have heard it before I am sure but it is such a pleasure to buy something where you can talk to the "manufacturer". I am sure it is hard work but it must be fun to make something of beauty and practical value with your own hands. I am an aspiring woodworker and have made a few pieces so I appreciate how hard it is.

thanks again,
B.H.

Hi Aubrey,

The rocker arrived safe and sound and its principal user loves it. Many thanks for all your help.

Regards,
M.K.

Softest thing I ever sat in, to be so hard.

J.W.

Gary,

I hope to get one of these rockers for each of my 7 children when they have kids someday.

Thank you,
M.S.

Gary,

The rocker arrived on time and in perfect condition. It's beautiful and made a terrific birthday gift for my partner. Thanks for the great service you and your crew provided.

We're looking forward to using the chair often when our baby arrives in November.

Best,
A.B.

Gary —

The furniture was delivered yesterday at 4:00. The delivery men took care of unwrapping and setting up the table and chairs. Your work is museum quality. Each piece is a work of art that I will cherish and proudly pass on to my children. And, as advertised, the chairs are unbelievably comfortable.

Thank you,
D.S.
