We got it and love it.

Thanks,
S. and S.B.

I did receive the rocking chair and it is absolutely beautiful!!! My husband and I have already spent lots of time in the chair and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our son. It was wonderful to receive such a beautifully handmade, COMFORTABLE chair. Thank you so much for creating such a great piece!

Gary,

Sorry it took me so long to answer. My rocker arrived on Tuesday the 18th and my Grand Daughter on the 19th! Thay are both perfect! The rocker really is as comfortable as you say. I'm so glad I saw your website on the internet.

Thanks again.

Hi Gary,

We received our rocking chair last week and we love it! It's also in great condition, no problems. Thanks again!

Regards,
L..K.

Gary,

I'm sorry I did not let you know sooner that we received the chair and I appreciate your attention through the delivery process (although after seeing the chair, detail is not to be wondered at). I've had this e-mail percolating in my head since we got the rocker and just haven't had the time to send it.

This will probably be the 1938th letter of its kind, but this being our chair, we are absolutely in love with it. Upon pulling it out of the crate, I couldn't believe how smooth the finish felt. It was a different feeling from a varnished piece of furniture where your hand sticks and slides. Here I could feel the wood glide underneath my hand. Since I am not accustomed to encountering this in furniture (this being my first purchase of quality furniture), it delighted me to no end, and that is where my first impression lay. As far as the sitting and rocking, it fits like a glove. It is such a natural feel.

Of course, I only get a few opportunities at it as my wife, S., has taken it over as hers (as I suppose it was intended), and I assume from her long occupations of it, that she is quite pleased with it as well. S. is a yoga teacher, and now, she does all of her class planning and reading in the rocker, and she also likes to listen to music and read to our unborn son while rocking away, getting him acclimated to the motion. Finding her there gives me great joy and visions of my wife and baby together and visions of a happy family to come.

Last I just want to say it is a beautiful rocker, and what seems obvious, becomes delightful as I notice the details of the chair. Upon receiving it, I challenged myself to look at it and discover the whys of it, as far as being a superior piece of furniture. The fine symmetry of the piece and the off beat notes that pop-up balance the eye and gives cheer to investigation. I noticed in the legs, the figure of the wood (a term I learned through your explanation on your website) are symmetrical in the front and the back in both direction and placement. The lines turn and peak at exactly opposite points and I wonder at the challenge of its making. And peering at the glimmer of the surface, you get the sense of depth that exists beyond what you can touch. And I get the sense, that like still water, it will become clearer as the years settle upon it. I am looking forward to appreciating its beauty as time and many rockings make their marks.

All this effort of expression is my attempt to say thank you for making such a lovely rocking chair. It is exactly what we hoped it would be, an companion to our growing family.

Sincerely,
G.S.

We're a little disappointed.

The next day . . .

We're a little disappointed . . . that we can't purchase a whole houseful of this furniture. We LOVE the chair. It is truly a work of art. My wife is eight months pregnant and is beginning to have lower back pain. She loves to sit in the chair because she says it makes her back feel better. We are incredibly happy with the chair. Thanks so much.

Sorry for the little joke, we figured that since you don't get many complaints this would add a little spice to the workday.

Thanks again and if I win the lottery any time soon, I'll be placing multiple orders.

Gary,

Thank you so much, my wife loves it. It was a Valentine's day gift for her. She is 13 weeks pregnant with our first child and looks forward to soothing the kids to sleep.

Thank you again.

Best
D.&J.

Gary: I received my rocker in good shape and I am enjoying it very much. You should pay me an advertising fee because I am telling everyone how great it is. I am kidding, of course, and I hope to order some other things from you in the future.

Thanks again, and best regards.
J.K.

Aubrey,

Yes, we received the rocker and absolutely love it! I am so glad we finally found a rocker that we can treasure and keep in the family.

J.M.

I just wanted to say thank you. We really enjoy the chair and she can’t wait to actually use it with child. It is absolutely beautiful and the engraving is perfect. Thanks again and we’ll definitely keep you in mind in the future.

D.M.

Dear Aubrey and Gary:

Wow! Notwithstanding my discussion with Gary earlier today about the nasty delivery man, we opened up the box and found our rocking chair — we could not be more pleased! It's in perfect condition and absolutely beautiful — to the eyes, to the touch . . . and it feels great once we sit down (with our new bundle of joy in our arms). We're both looking forward to using it a lot for many years to come. Thank you both.

Gary: Thanks for being so good to me on the phone this morning. You were very helpful in listening to me about our less than satisfactory delivery experience. Your offer to call M. was also much appreciated. Your company's excellent customer focus is very much a rare thing these days.

For the record, the delivery person called and offered a one-hour window which, as you know, my wife accepted. The delivery person refused delivery of the chair into our home and in fact said it was company policy to deliver such shipments to the garage. Our daughter's crying prevented further negotiation on this matter and M.'s crying obviously did not affect his approach. Even though my wife asked for extra time to inspect the contents of the crate, this apparently was also not possible — based, in large part, on the apparent condition of the outside part of the crate (no obvious wear and tear). I'm guessing a tight delivery schedule was another factor in the delivery man's interest in leaving our address as quickly as possible.

In short, not a great time for my wife and she was quite upset about it. I would be grateful if you could share this experience with your shipping contact.

But all in all, this has been an excellent experience in dealing with your company — we love the chair, and really do appreciate and admire the passion that is so obvious in how you do business.

Thanks again, and we look forward to future dealings with your company.
G. and M.

It arrived and it is wonderful.

Thank you!
A.R.

Hi Aubrey,

We received the chair today and it is absolutely gorgeous and sure to be a family heirloom for generations to come. I have to admit that I was hesitant to order a chair over the Internet. But with all the great reviews and your guarantee I thought it was worth the risk. I am glad that I decided to take that risk. The chair is so comfortable and beautiful I am sure I would have a very hard time finding anything comparable locally. It also mean a lot to my wife and I that the piece is handmade. Just looking at the chair one can immediately knows the care and craftsmanship put into it. We feel very privileged to have such a work of art in our house.

Thank you very much,
R. & E.P.

The chair has arrived and it is not only beautiful, but incredibly comfortable. Thank you so very much for my new chair!

Have a great day,
H.M.

Aubrey,

The rocking chair arrived in beautiful condition. The freight company was courteous, helpful, and arrived during the time frame they gave me. The crate was in great shape and was much lighter than I expected. The scent from the stain dissipated after about a week. I have enjoyed rocking in it and have even fallen asleep in it a couple times already.

Thanks again!
N. & S.F.

Gary,

I apologize that I have not yet had a chance to reach out, but needless to say, the chair is beautiful and it was pristine after unpacking. My one month old fell asleep in my arms in it yesterday.

Thanks again, and all the best.
M.W.

Aubrey,

I called [the shipper] this morning — the chair and footstool arrived this afternoon — it's superb — may sleep in it tonight . . .

Regards,
C.F.

Hi!

Just wanted to let you all know that we received our rocker in perfect condition and we love it! I rocked our daughter to sleep in it tonight — So sweet! My husband commented on the excellent craftsmanship; he thinks we’ll be passing it onto our daughter when she has a little one years from now! Keep up the great work, and thanks again!

D.F. and Family

I am a big fan of artisan work and people who have a love and passion for getting up everyday and doing what they were born to do. The things they create tend to make a connection between those who made it and those who use it. They are also all the more beautiful for it as well. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to travel to Wimberley and stop by the shop when we visit Texas in April.

Sincerely,
G.S.

Gary,

Sorry I haven't written to you sooner. I saw the beautiful rocker last Friday and had a chance to sit in it. Comfortable indeed!

. . . I can't tell you what a work of art the chair is. It will indeed make a wonderful heirloom in years to come.

I will get back to you in the future about the placque to be engraved under the seat of the rocker.

Thanks,
D.W.

PS: The chair was in a container secure enough to be part of Fort Knox.

J., her husband and the new baby are all enjoying rocking in the wonderful chair. Thank you for your beautiful work.

D.T.

Gary

Just wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the wonderful chairs you made for us back in the mid 90's. The rockers both still rock sweetly and look stunning while doing so. It's great to find a product whose long term performance matches its initial promise.

We wish you, your family and the rest of the crew at Gary Weeks and Company all the best.

With warmest regards,
S. & S.J.

Hi Mr. Weeks,

I was just in receipt of this wonderful walnut chair and just wanted to let you know that it arrived safely in perfect condition and it is absolutely beautiful, and my wife and I are absolutely delighted with it.
It is phenomenal.
Hopefully we will be doing business in the future.
Thank you so much, sir, for your craftsmanship and vision.

Thank you very much,
P.M.

Hi Aubrey,

Our rocking chair arrived today and we are very, very happy. It's a pleasure to look at, a pleasure to sit in and a pleasure to touch. Our first turns trying it out were pretty short, as it was still VERY cold from the truck, but once it warmed up to room temperature we rocked away happily. The angle of the seat and back is perfect, and the wood and the workmanship are both beautiful.

Thanks very much,

B.M.

Hi Gary,

I surprised my wife with the rocking chair last night and she is absolutely thrilled. It is truly a beautiful piece that we will use for years and years.

Thanks very much for the excellent craftsmanship.

M.B.

Gary:

I gave M. her chair last night and she was moved and awed and extremely appreciative of the beauty and integrity of the piece. It’s already become her chill-out vehicle. Thanks again,

B.O.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the chair!!
Thanks

J.P.

Gary,

We received the chairs two days ago.

They are fine pieces of work. The design, meticulous craftsmanship and the walnut you used are first rate. We have now sat in our own chairs for a couple of hours and found them to be very comfortable, although we knew they would be since we had a trial chair a few months ago.

Thanks,
L.M.

Gary,

We received it yesterday and it is beautiful. I've got a special place in my heart for my own, but M. really likes his. I won't tell him i got the better one.

Thanks again for the work on it and the attention to detail. It came out just as we wanted and as one guy here at work commented is "an heirloom" — a real keeper. Please pass along my thanks to the folks there!

Best,
J.W.

Hello,

My chair arrived in perfect condition and has received rave reviews for comfort from all the yard workers that tested it. A couple are skilled woodworkers and were extremely impressed with your workmanship, especially the seamless joints.

When I get it to the house I'll send you a picture of it in its new home.

Take care,
P.L.

Hi Aubrey We 've just received the rocker and we're very pleased to have it. The Rocker has been delivered yesterday in good condition. It's very beautiful and all the family loves it — "felicitation" for your job. Happy new year to your team

Regards
S., L., M., P.

Hi Gary,

She loved it . . . and it arrived in pristine condition! The rocker also arrived unexpectedly early allowing me to surprise her on Christmas morning. We are both very pleased with our new rocker and we tried our best to fit in as much rocking time as possible while we where at my parents house over the Christmas Holiday. My whole family found themselves looking for an opportunity to relax in your beautiful rocker and we soon found it the most inviting place in the house. I really don’t think that I could have picked out a better gift that celebrates family and the coming of our first new born child.

Thanks for the wonderful craftsmanship and true customer oriented service!

G.A.

Thanks Gary. The chairs are great. We got one for my Dad as it was his 60th birthday present and ours because we had our second child — the perfect anniversary gift. Thank you again for the very nice work.

P.N.

Folks,

Chair arrived, safe and sound. Elegant. Extraordinarily comfortable. Beautifully made.

Many thanks.
J.P.

Gary and Aubrey,

I just uncrated the Terrell table and it is simply beautiful. It arrived in pristine condition. I am sure my sister-in-law will love it.

Thank you for such a special gift and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.

Best,
B.

Gary,

Although the package was damaged, the chair is okay. Well, actually it is perfect!!! It is exactly what I was looking for, and the new mother is very pleased. I really appreciate all of your help in tracking the chair and I know that we will enjoy this chair for many years to come. I hope that you and your family have a very good Christmas . . .

R.T.

It is beautiful and my husband loves it. I had to pry him out so that I could give it a try.

Thanks so much!
K.D.

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.

C.P.

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.
