Hi Gary

I LOVE it!! Thank you so very much — I'll take some photos soon and send them to you. It is so beautiful and amazingly comfortable! My friends are fighting to sit in it!!

Cheers
R.W.

Gary,

Sorry for the long time in responding. The chair arrived in Jerusalem in fine shape in early March. It is extraordinary. M. uses it for most of her nursing, especially at night. Little baby J. also seems to appreciate the work you all put into making it beautiful. Thanks so much for your help and the professionalism of your business.

Best regards,
T.B.

The rocking chair did arrive on Tuesday without a problem.

The driver complemented you on how well you packaged the rocking chair.

The rocking chair is magnificent and we are really looking forward to giving it as a shower gift on Saturday.

Our only regret is we have to give it up.

Thank you for wonderful and prompt service. Everything worked out great

Austin,

The rocker was delivered and is beautiful, and comfortable. I've been showing it off to all my friends.

Gary,

The rocker is beautiful! I'm in Chicago for 2 weeks but before I left the wife and baby were happily enjoying the rocker! It's amazing how it's such a perfect fit — I don't know how you do it but keep doing it!

L. A.

Thanks again. I rocked all night long!

G.R.

Gary,

Thanks for checking in with us. Yes, the rocker arrived on schedule and is beautiful! We will use it well.

Thanks, again.

Best,
B.Z.

Gary,

I received your call yesterday, I actually picked up the chair yesterday. I figured it would be easier than them finding my house. When I unpacked it I was very happy with it.

Thank you for your fine craftsmanship.

Hi Gary,

The chair arrived today and is absolutely beautiful. My husband has already suggested we move it to his room! We love it. Thanks so much.

A.T.

Gary,

The chair was delivered this morning and it's a beauty!

We live in an isolated area and the delivery company was a little concerned about bringing their tractor-trailer into our road. After several phone calls, one of their drivers, who lives in my area and was on his way home after the night shift, decided to put it on the back of his truck and bring it to me. It was a fitting way for the chair to arrive since it served to underscore the friendliness of the whole enterprise and introduced me to one of my neighbors.

The wood and workmanship of the chair is beautiful; I can't quite believe how sturdy it is. No wonder you give it such a great guarantee.

Many thanks.
L.H.

Hi Gary,

Good talking with you today. When I zone out or think through a problem, I head for my Weeks Rocker. Everyone who enters my living room loves its comfort and superb workmanship. What a joy it's been! Rocking seems to soothe the emotions and enable the mind to focus more clearly. "Quiets the monkey," I say.

I don't think any other piece of furniture has equaled it in either comfort or pride of ownership.

Enclosed you'll find a check to purchase a second rocker to go to: [ Name and address ]. Please don't call him unless it is an emergency as it is a surprise. I will call the shipping company.

Thanks again for your great product,
L.M.

Gary;

We have well received the rocking chair; it is a beautiful piece of art. I like the wood and the finish. It is also very comfortable. Thank you very much!

M.B.

Hi Gary,

I just wanted you to know the rocker arrived in perfect condition. It is just beautiful, what wonderful craftsmanship. It has worked its magic on my daughter, who has fallen asleep in minutes every night. So comfortable for both of us.

Thank you so much,
B.W.

Hi Gary — It's here, arrived in perfect shape this afternoon and looks great! Thank you again —

D.W.

Gary & Co. —

We just received the crate, all looks good on the outside. My husband made me promise not to open it until he got home so I will patiently await the unveiling — it is not going to be easy though!!!

[ later ]

Indeed. It literally brought tears to my eyes. My husband said, "We will grow old sitting right here." It is a piece we shall cherish.

Thank you!
T. E. and Baby Girl

Gary:

The chair is stunningly beautiful and so comfortable. The wood has so much depth — it's just lovely and extremely comfortable. I'm still rearranging the living room and will send you a photo soon.

The delivery person could not have been nicer — the office was the problem!

Thank you and your family for such beautiful work, it's truly a work of art.

J.G.

Hi Gary,

We received the rocker without incident on Tuesday. Our baby girl arrived a bit early but we have already begun to enjoy the chair with her. My wife was particularly impressed with your attention to detail across all the many aspects of your promotion, salesmanship, execution, delivery, and follow-up.

Thank you,
T.B.

Gary,

Thanks for following up so quickly. The shipping company actually called on Friday and set up delivery for today. We received the chair and could not be more pleased. It is absolutely gorgeous. I know my wife will get a lot of use out of it rocking our baby boy due in late June . . . that is assuming she can get me out of the chair. Thank you so much, will get back to you when I have saved up for another!

S. R.

We got it last week and are extremely pleased. The craftsmanship is incredible.

S.K.

Gary,

The rocker arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon. It looks wonderful and, more importantly, is a real pleasure to sit in. The chair is very comfortable. It reclines to a very comfortable position for both my wife and I to easily rock it even though we are 6" apart in height. Thank you very much for your wonderful work and know we'll get years of enjoyment from your rocker.

Warm Regards,
G. O.

Gary,

We got the chair. It looks beatiful and feels great, just as we expected! The build quality is superb and your service exceptional.

After a quick two minute "rocking" on the chair, the only thing I could think of to possibly hope for/comment on — and this is purely a matter of personal taste and influenced by "butt-memory" of the rocking chair in my childhood home in Finland — is perhaps a little bit wider range of rocking when leaning back.

I wonder if you have any comments on this? Perhaps an issue with stability? Having said that, the rocking motion range on your chair is much longer/wider than on any other rocking chair I've tried here in the US.

Again, thanks for the wonderful chair; we look forward to a lifetime of rocking!

Best regards,
J.V.

[ My response and a reply follow: — GW ]

J,

I am glad the delivery worked for you and that you like the chair. I wish you and R. the best, and thank you very much.

When I designed this chair 12 years ago, I found the curve of the rockers and their relationship to the seat and back by trial and error. Many people tested the prototypes, giving their opinions, and I have delivered many chairs since. You are the first to comment that, for you, the rocker could travel farther back in its pendulum swing. I have had several people say that they are glad the chair doesn't go so far back as to give them any sense that it could go too far — there are some rockers out there that do give one a fright. This is not to say that your memory or experience is invalid . . . I just have to admit that I didn't get it completely right for you and hope that you find the other aspects of the chair pleasing enough to temper this compromise.

May you rock in good health.

Sincerely,
Gary

Gary,

The beauty, craftmanship and comfort of the chair far outweigh my small observation! And I am sure it is only a matter of getting use to the range of motion the chair has.

J.V.

Hi Gary.

BINGO! Mission accomplished! The rocker arrived Tuesday, as advertised. Both S. and K. have tried it out and love it. Now we're all on "high alert" waiting for a sign from the little guy that he's ready to be born. We're getting mighty close.

I can't tell you what a delight it's been working with you. It has given me great comfort to be able to communicate with you on such a regular basis. Knowing you were always just a phone call away or at the other end of an email made the experience all the more personal. Now I have one more request: please don't retire anytime soon! I want to order one of your beautiful rockers for my other son when it's his turn to become a father. Hang in there!

Thank you for everything.
L.D.

Dear Weeks Family,

It's been a few months since my husband and I were in your studio, but I wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our rocking chair. We are the couple that dropped in late one afternoon to look at your chairs for our nursery. When we got home with our daughter, whom we adopted from Colombia, I went straight upstairs to sit and feed her in our beautiful rocker. I continue to use it everyday and whenever someone comes over to see us I just can't wait to show it off!

It was such a pleasure to meet you and your wife that day. I couldn't be happier with our purchase and the service we received from you both. It's heart-warming to know there are still family-owned companies that put so much of themselves into their product — it really shows how dedicated you are to your craft. We will cherish the rocker for many years.

Thanks so much!
D.B.

Gary:

The rocker arrived in perfect shape. I have already rocked my grandson, Rueben (age one month), in it, and he thinks that it is a great ride. I plan to put a lot of miles on it over the holidays.

This is a very good product — the lines, proportion and finish are of superb quality. Thank you for your courtesy in following up on the delivery. Merry Christmas to you, too.

P.L.

Gary,

You out did yourself!

R. was shocked, breathless and then smiled when sat in 'her' rocker. The people in this part of VA. have never seen such a work of beauty and art.

Simple words cannot describe the heartfelt joy I know this rocker will give her. This whole process has been so much fun I'm going to do the same for my sister in San Diego (I'll keep you posted as to when I'll order.)

Again, my many thanks to you for your 'touch'. Merry Christmas! . . . And we'll be talking!

G.C. Your #1 Fan

Gary,

Actually he graduates this Saturday. Yes, I did receive the rocker on Friday — in the midst of the snow storm here in Lancaster. I did find a tear in the box, and marked it on the shipping slip — but the rocker was unmarked. I love it Gary — you are right, I don't miss the two extra slats in some rockers. I am really impressed with the finish, the overall craftsmanship of the rocker, and feel of the rocker. I can't wait to give it to M. I must share with you — however, if he is not as excited with it as I am, I will have to return it. As much as I love it, it is a little out of my league for myself.

It is, however, exactly what I was looking for. I think the lines of the rocker would fit well with furniture from modern to Early American. I just love the clean lines and beautiful cherry wood.

Thanks again,
M. A.

Gary,

Just a quick email to follow-up and close things out. I'm not sure what goes on over at "Overnite", but calling to schedule doesn't seem to have any effect on things.

After I got your message, I called Joe yesterday and scheduled delivery for today. About 20 minutes after that call yesterday, I got a call from my Dad telling me that the chair was delivered.

Bottom line is it looks great! We're happy and appreciate all of your efforts! Thank you!

Merry Christmas!
J. H.

Hello Gary

Got it. We have been richly rewarded by your workmanship. Merry Christmas

gday
G.H.

Gary —

The rocker arrived pretty much right at the time promised, and unpacking it was much easier than I expected it to be. We are very pleased with how comfortable it is. My wife, who had been thinking of it as merely something for me, immediately found relief for her back in it and was surprised by how much she liked it (she's six months pregnant). Clearly, I will have to yield to her. Oh, and we were really impressed by the stool. You made something very simple into something really intriguing to look at, and it works very well with the chair.

Thanks again for better service than one gets anywhere, not to mention for furniture that lives up to expectation.

P.

He was ecstatic!! He cried 3 or 4 times and he gets misty-eyed every time he tells someone what he got for Christmas. The chair is gorgeous, truly a work of art and as I noted on the delivery receipt, arrived totally unharmed. He has rocked with B. a dozen times since Saturday morning and would probably sleep in it if I let him.

I'm not sure I can ever top this Christmas gift!

Thank you for double checking everything and helping to make this first Christmas with our daughter totally amazing.

S.F.

Gary,

The rocker and stool arrived in perfect shape. The chair is even more beautiful and comfortable than I had imagined it would be. I'll be ordering one or two more in the spring.

Thanks for your great service and product. You give me hope that American craftsmanship is alive and well, at least in Wimberly, TX.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season.
P.B.

Gary, the rocker arrived last night in perfect shape. It's beautiful. I now have the perfect chair to rock my newborn, J. E. ( Dec 6). I am sure we will derive great pleasure from your creation. Truly a work of art. Thanks again and best wishes for the Holidays to you and your family.

B.R.

PS: When I am back in Texas I'll be sure and stop in. My sister lives in New Braunfels and I am becoming a big fan of your part of the country

Hello Gary,

The rocker arrived yesterday and is absolutely perfect. In fact, I fell asleep rocking in it last night. I know it is something that my son and I will enjoy for many years to come.

I am so glad I found your company on the internet.

Happy Holidays,
G.W.

It's perfect! Thank you so much Gary. It is situated in a spectacular location overlooking a beautiful Montana lake. Thank you so much.

Gary,

The rocker is the most BEAUTIFUL piece of furniture I've ever seen or sat in! Thank you so much for an exquisite creation.

S. P.

they arrived, they're beautiful and h. is very excited. bigger than we imagined but perfectly and magically sized to both the mama to be and the papa to be. wild.

thanks so much – they are wonderful.
D. K.

Gary,

I've just finished unwrapping the chair at my house. It is perfect! The box was undamaged at the terminal. I unpacked it from the crate and it fit right in the back of my Jeep Liberty with the seats down. It is a beautiful thing, a real work of art. I appreciate the effort you made to get it here before Thanksgiving. When my wife gets home tonight she will be delighted. Please use us as a reference, not that you seem to need any. This chair will be used and loved beyond our years.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
C.M.

Dear Gary,

We received it on schedule with no problems. Thanks for following up with us. My wife really loves it . . . which is a good thing since the chair is here and the baby has yet to arrive!

A.J.

Hi Gary,

The rocking chair was delivered last evening without incident, and the driver was, as you suggested, much more cooperative than the dispatcher. That individual could use some training in giving some hope to the customer that maybe things won't be as complex as was described, and refraining from the definite "no's" about which she was adamant. A simple "it is the prerogative of the driver" would suffice.

The rocker is the epitomy of fine craftsmanship. The finish is impeccable. The quality and workmanship makes us know our great grandchildren will still have use of it in the future long after our rocking days are over.

J.R.

Gary, The chair is beautiful, absolutely beautiful!!! It deserves a room of its own. My husband had to touch it and look at it and comment on it for 5 minutes before he would sit in it. We love it thank you.

Okay the baby can come now.

K.R.

Hi Gary,

I received the rocking chair just yesterday and I love it!! It is a truly beautiful chair and so comfortable. I rocked my baby in it as soon as he woke up and he was very calm and looked like he was really enjoying it too!

Thank you very much for rushing it to me. I really appreciate your extra effort.

Thanks again!
F.S.

Thank you! It arrived and we love it.

Thanks so much,
C.K.

Gary, the chair arrived and it is beautiful. It will have a special place in my family for generations.

It will also come in handy for the 3 month-old twins. You can put me in the column of satisfied customers.

Thank you for your graciousness.
D. R.

I got my rocker last night and I LOVE it!! Great service!

Thank you very much!
S.S.

Yes, we received the rocker. It arrived in great condition. I must say that it is wonderful to touch and look at. I am more than pleased and very grateful. Thank you for making such a beautiful treasure for myself and my two sons. We look forward to enjoying it for many, many, years.

Thank you, Gary and please thank your wife and son Austin for assisting in the process as well. We are blessed to have such a fine piece from such a fine family. Take care.

S.J.

Gary:

I recently spoke with my customer and they love your (their) chair.

N.S.

The rocker was unpacked today and is great. It is so comfortable, I think it's my new favorite chair!

Thanks,
C.F.

Good Afternoon Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that everyone loves the rocker. People have used words like "incredible", "unbelievably comfortable", "magnificent", "stunning". M. has not made any comments yet, but she loves to nurse and sleep in the rocker.

Thank you very much for a piece of art that will be in our family for generations.

Regards,
J.F.

I have the rocking chair and it's wonderful. It's beautiful and comfortable and I'm so glad to have it. Thanks.

C.K.

Received in perfect condition, and appreciated by my wife. Truly a work of art.

Merry Christmas.
C.S.
