Howdy. I phoned Portland Oregon this morning and spoke with the dispatcher. The delivery was made to my farm around two or three pm today. Your packing job and shipping were excellent. The cherry rocking chair purchased as a gift for me is outstanding in every way. I am most appreciative of this wonderful gift, your wonderful workmanship and communications. Boy this is a beautiful and comfortable chair of the highest quality. Lucky, lucky me.

J.L.

It's gorgeous, and superbly comfortable. What more could we ask for?

Thanks a bunch —
J. & R.S.

Gary,

After reading practically all of your website and my wife none of it, I had to laugh when the first thing she said after sitting in our new cherry rocker was "It fits me perfectly." We moved it into the completed nursery today; it looks beautiful. We look forward to rocking even more when the baby arrives in a couple of weeks.

As someone who dabbles in woodworking, the craftsmanship is inspiring.

Sincerely,
P.R.

Gary,

The chair arrived in one piece; my daughter and her husband think it's beautiful! They're very excited to have it, but, as they only just arrived home with the baby, focus is far more on the rocked than the rocker at this point. I'll hear more soon, I'm sure.

We most certainly have booked our trip and can hardly wait to rock that little bundle of joy!

Would you like to get comments/feed-back from them?

Thanks for your follow-up and concern.

L.C.

We love them . . . Thank you so much!!

Dear Gary,

The rocker came on Friday, August 22nd as I had scheduled. We love it! It is so beautiful and goes so well with the rest of the nursery furniture. I will send a picture once my little one is born of us using it. Thank you again for making sure I got the rocker before I had my baby.

Sincerely,
M.J.

Gary — Chair arrived with no problems with the shipping container. It is truly beautiful — a work of art. So very comfortable — I know we will put a lot of rocking miles on it.

M.L.

Gary, we really enjoyed our chair this past weekend. I had a surprise 85th birthday party for my mother and had all my kids and niece and nephew from California. We all enjoyed taking turns in it . . . and I. especially enjoyed it at 22 months . . . she really turned it into an aerobic activity . . . and it was so safe. M. had just received hers the day she was to fly to Austin so she hasn't got to have any quality time in it . . . thanks so much for your personal attention . . .

A.F.

Gary,

I certainly am happy with the chair, thank you.

P.S.

Gary,

I meant to write you last week, when the chair arrived.

Everything was as you had promised. The furniture was beautiful, arrived on time. We have just delivered your beautiful hand-made rocking chair to our son and daughter-in-law, who expect their first child on Sept. 16. They both are pleased and proud to have this wonderful gift. Thank you for helping make their happiness.

Please accept our gratitude for creating a comfortable and lasting gift for our children. It was a pleasure to speak with you and to do business with you. Keep up the good work. I expect to be calling you again.

Sincerely,
B.B.

I meant to send you a note

The chair is beautiful, and E. loves it

Thank you,
H.D.

Gary,

They love it. The chair fits nicely with their furnishings and they are amazed at the craftmanship. THanks so much for working with us on this. They now have a lifelong piece of furniture that will outlast cribs, carseats, etc. etc. and can be passed down to another generation.

C.S.

Dear Gary,

I am happily enjoying my new walnut rocker. It is not only fine and beautiful, but also extremely comfortable. My cousin had predicted disaster — that I would regret changing from the recliner because of the lack of padding and the inability to lean back with one’s feet up. My old recliner, named Big Blue, has gone to that Great Recliner in the Sky, and I sit like a queen in my chair where I read, knit, and watch television. I can report that my hips and legs do not hurt any more with the nerve pain that seemed to arise after about two hours. I think I can safely attribute this to the gentle curve of the rocker back as it supports the spine.

I also want to tell you how much I enjoyed the hour and a half during which we visited on the front porch of your showroom. You are a true artist and artisan, and I feel honored to enjoy one of your creations. It is an example of the integrity you build into your work, and that can only come from your own ethic of industry and honesty. I look forward to visiting you again sometime.

When I was a child, we had rocking chairs. I grew up with them, and I believe that if everyone in the world had a rocking chair, we would have less violence and trouble. They are restful to the body and soothing to the soul.

As ever,
T.J..

Dear folks

Our rocking chair was delivered yesterday in perfect condition. We love it — it is very comfortable and the wood grain is beautiful. Many thanks for the care taken in crafting the chair and assuring its safe delivery.

Best wishes,
E. & L.S.

Dear Gary,

I first saw your furniture advertisement in the New Yorker magazine in 1998. I marvelled then at the beauty of your designs especially your dining room chairs and tables. And, I could not believe the claim of a wood chair being comfortable for long periods of conversation or extended reading. Ten years of wishing for a beautiful dining room table and chairs has now become a reality. My 6 maple Wilson dining room chairs and Paschall table are not only exquisitely crafted but extraordinarily comfortable for dining, conversation, and reading — a reader's favorite chair.

G.F, Ph.D.

Hi Gary,

As promised, here is a picture of your (our) beautiful rocking chair. We are very pleased with it, it is very comfortable. The floor squeaks a bit while we are rocking, and the sound is quite soothing! It is really a nice piece in our living room, and it fits perfectly in the contemporary look of it.

It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I will recommend you to all my friends and family.

Thanks again,
G.B. and D.D.

Dear Gary,

The chairs have arrived in fine condition and look beautiful. It seems that once they left Texas, there was no holding them back. (Is that a parable of some sort?)

The pads you attached are just the ones I've used for other pieces on this floor, and they will be easy to replace when the time comes.

So, a happy ending — at least of chapter one. These chairs are built for a long history, and this is just the start.

Thanks for your work, trust, and care,
D. and S.

Gary,

Have been travelling this week and just got home to find my 8 months pregnant wife rocking happily in her new chair. She loves it and I have to say its a beautiful piece of work by you. My wifes friend came around and commented "do you have a cushion for it" my wife told her it was so soft that you didn't need one and as soon as her friend sat it the chair she got the message.

Have to say the workmanship is outstanding and the chair has a nice modern feel about the look.

Both our mothers are coming to stay after the baby arrives so there may be some fighting over who gets the chair!

Thanks again.
E.D.

Finally . . . IT’S HERE!!!

D. loves it! It is even more beautiful than expected, and so, so, so smooth! It smells so good.

Everything is perfect, the chair and stool make a perfect match, and I think I will have to fight to sit on it!

Thank you so very much for your help and your support throughout the shipping process, it was not that bad after all . . .

I’ll send you pictures soon,
G.B.

The chairs arrived today before 12:00.
They were perfect!
Thank you so much!

Gary:

I am out of town, so I have not seen the chair, but my wife loves it.

Thanks so much,
C.K.

The rocker arrived today in perfect condition and we absolutely LOVE it!!!! We will recommend you (although your rockers obviously are the best recommendation!).

Regards,
J. & D.L.

Yes, the rocker arrived in perfect condition, and I love it. It's like a graceful piece of sculpture that brings the whole room alive. Just as important, it fits me perfectly. I'm having hip-replacement surgery in September, after which I have to remain non-weight bearing for eight weeks (because of the particular type of surgery). Although I'd been coveting the rocker for some time, it was the prospect of spending two months off my feet (or rather off my left foot) that finally prompted me to order it. My reasoning is that the rocking movement will promote better circulation and help ward off the danger of blood clots. In conjunction with my physical therapy program, it will also help me maintain strength on the operated side. I noticed that the arms are well-placed for getting up from the chair. The clinics in my hospital have rockers in the waiting rooms (not as nice as yours), and I'd noticed how soothing it was to rock when I was feeling nervous or stressed before my appointments. Now I can have "rocker therapy" at home, too.

Thanks!
K.W.

Thanks for making this happen. They are THRILLED with the chair.

M.

Hi Gary,

The rocking chair has arrived and I am amazed at the fine workmanship. You and your team exemplify what "Made in America" used to look. The chair is so comfortable. Wow, very impressive!

The package came through undamaged. You really know how to protect your products. If anyone asks me about where to get a quality rocking chair, your name will be the first one (and only one) that comes out of my mouth. Thanks a million. It was well worth the wait and the price. I will enjoy this piece of furniture for many, many years to come.

D.S.

Gary –

I've been meaning to write to you about the surprise delivery. The note to call before delivery got covered by a routing sticker, so they just showed up. Fortunately, I was home and so have been enjoying my gorgeous and incredibly comfortable new rocker earlier than expected. The shipping process didn't even mark the cardboard, and the chair arrived in perfect condition.

The one downside is that I have significant competition for the seat, from any human who comes near it, but also from my little female cat who insists it's the perfect size and shape for her. She will, at least, let me sit between her and the chair.

I don't live in a mansion here, but rather in a tiny place that's almost all built by hand, with trim, decking and shelving made from site-milled cedar and fir. The wonderful description of your design and construction process on your web site helped me understand that your chair would be a perfect fit in my new mini house. Thank you so much for the marvelous rocker and for the seamless ordering and delivery process.

B.D.

Gary,

The chair is beautiful and was shipped without a single mark on the box. Thank you so much!

Best,
M. and L.

Gary,

The chairs arrived in perfect condition yesterday afternoon. Many thanks to you and your team for the fine workmanship.

Best,
R.J.

Gary

I'm sorry you didn't receive my post directly. I am delighted! More so!! The chair is gorgeous, for the eyes, the hands, seat and back!

Cheers
P.C.

Gary,

Today is June 4, 7:36 A.M. The chairs and stools did arrive yesterday after several calls and late delivery. I must say I am not impressed with the delivery folks, but the chairs and stools are beautiful and in perfect shape as best I can determine. You and your team do a wonderful job on these chairs and I am sure I will enjoy them much. Thanks!

W.W.

thanks a bunch. i like it very much

F.I.

Hi Gary,

As promised, here is a picture of the set in its new home. D. and I think it is the most beautiful spot on earth, so to find furniture that matches that beauty . . . Well, we are just so very pleased with it. It is just lovely; even lovelier than the picture. We hope to enjoy it with our family for many years to come. Thanks so much for your care in creating such amazing pieces.

Best regards,
J.M.

Dear Gary,

The delivery truck driver asked me what was so special about these chairs — he delivers so many (I'm assuming he meant in the Washington, DC area where I live). So I told him all about them before I'd even unpacked mine.

I want you to know my rocker is everything I told him it was and more. I've never cried over a piece of furniture before, but I did over this. (Heck, truth be known, I cried over the website.) Of course it has to do with the beauty and comfort of the chair. But it's also the fact that it was crafted in West Texas, which is very special to me . . .

Next time I get to West Texas, I hope to come meet you and see your showroom. Thanks more than I can say.

N.M.

Gary,

Thank you so much for the refinishing offer. I don't think the chair would fit in my car or I would take you up on it.

I have to tell you that chair is the most beautiful work of art I have ever purchased. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be coming home with me. You are so incredibly talented. I paid $1,000 for it at Whit Hanks. I remember because it was my Christmas bonus check from work. I knew if I did not buy it, I would regret it.

Thank you so much for the years of enjoyment and the wonderful memories of rocking my baby girls over the years

L.H.

Hi Gary,

We received the chair and absolutely love it. In fact, our baby loves it too! Excellent craftsmanship — truly a work of art. Thanks again for expediting the order. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Best,
J.B.

Gary,

Rocker has been delivered. No damage, it is beautiful, N. will love it.

Thank you!

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.
