Sorry to be so slow in getting back to you — we have been out of town. However, we were here when our chairs arrived promptly and in excellent condition. They sit even better than I remember and my husband, who was just a tad dubious about what I was doing, declared them to be "really comfortable" about five minutes after they arrived. And they are just as beautiful as they are comfortable. It is great that there are still artisans like you out there plying your craft. We know we will be sitting pretty for years to come.

Thanks,

My rocking chair arrived today in perfect condition. Great job packing. It's beautiful, better than the picture. Great craftsmanship. I'll treasure it.

Thanks,
T.M.

Thank you for the note, Gary!

I have been meaning to write to let you know we received the chair in perfect condition on Tuesday, when my husband was home. It's a lovely creature!

Many thanks for your work!

Sincerely,
K.W.

Hi Gary & Aubrey –

The chair arrived as scheduled on Friday afternoon – it is absolutely beautiful! My husband really loves it. BTW, you do a great job with the packaging. Despite the fact that the carton was fairly beat up & part of the wood frame was broken, the chair was in perfect condition.

Best regards,
C.L.

Gary,

We love our new Weeks Rocker. The rocker arrived on Tuesday, and S. delivered our first child on Wednesday (4 days early). I joke with her that she held out until the rocker arrived. The chair looks perfect in our nursery and we look forward to years of pleasure rocking with our baby.

Again, thank you for providing such a perfect chair for our family.
R.H.

The chair is a work of art. We are really enjoying the comfort and the back and forth. It is tremendous therapy for a replacement knee.

Many Thanks!
B.W.

Aubrey,

The chair arrived in perfect condition and he says it is great for reading in. We hope that eventually it might turn out to be great for rocking babies in too, but time will tell.

Thank you very much for your extremely attentive service.

Best regards,
C.P.

Dear Aubrey, Gary and Staff,

The chair arrived yesterday . . . Oh how beautiful!! . . . and how amazingly comfortable it is!? Wow!

Until my next order, Thank you! Thank you!

Sincerely,
G.S.

P.S. — The babies are scheduled to be delivered on Friday!

Dear Gary,

Thanks for the message. My wife and I have been traveling a great deal so I apologize for the slow response. I was definitely wanting to write you after we had a chance to "sit" with the chair a bit (no pun intended ;-) and give you our thoughts.

In short, we really love it! Your work is as beautifully crafted and detailed as you communicate over the website and our expectations were not disappointed in any regard. My wife and I are different in size and honestly when we first pulled it out of the box, it's size and presence was larger than we expected. I believe we both thought it might be slightly smaller. As a result, I was worried that I would love it, but L. would potentially feel a bit dwarfed. However, I am not quite sure how you have done it, but you have managed to craft a chair that is comfortable for someone of my size 6' and 180lbs-ish and also for my wife of 5'-5" and petite weight . . . well done!

We both feel that it is extremely comfortable and has a very well balanced character of sturdiness with graceful and soft transitions in all the appropriate detail points. We both gain a tremendous amount of joy in just running our hands over the smooth maple arms and it is a real pleasure to "feel" excellent craftsmanship. One of my favorite details at the moment is the expressed connection at the edge of the armrest where it has been mortised all the way thru for the vertical support. However, I keep finding more "favorites" as I enjoy studying the subtleties as we go along.

The maple is beautiful and your level of finish is perfect. We really have no complaints and are thrilled that we now have such a beautiful piece that our children will grow up with and then have one day for their own. We might just be calling you up again for another one so that both our kids may have one to enjoy down the road!

Regarding the delivery, it turned out to be ok, but we were anticipating it on Tuesday the 11th so I am glad that someone was here to accept the delivery (we live in an apartment). Luckily, the chair was delivered with no damage so it did not matter in the end that we were not able to review the delivery condition prior to signing. I appreciate your follow up.

In closing, you are a true master craftsman and we feel blessed to have such a wonderful piece of functional art in our living room to enjoy for many years. Our thanks to you and your family and staff for the quality, professionalism, communication and follow thru. Having done this all remotely, you all have made the experience a very smooth and seamless one.

Many thanks.
C and L.H.

Thank you so much. The chair is beautiful and I am glad we decided to go with the cherry. You are a trueartisan and craftsman and your work is lovely.

Thanks again,
M.K.

Gary,

The chair is GREAT! For some reason your email went to my junk email and I did not get it until I was cleaning out my mail. I am sorry. I have been living in MY chair and love it. Thank you so much for your speedy delivery but most of all for the beautifully hand crafted chair.

Best to you and your family,
B.K.

Gary,

The rocker arrived as scheduled. The truck came while R. was at the grocery and I was able to hide it before she returned. We opened the box the next day. We were very pleased with what we removed from the box. R., our family and I thought the chair was the most beautful and comfortable we had seen. We have two more grandchildren on the way, we will rock babies for many pleasant hours.

Thanks
W.S.

Hi Gary,

Got the curly cherry rocker this morning. There was no damage and the chair is beautiful. Very nice work and a pleasure to sit in. Thanks so much for being so dependable and easy to work with. Hope to do more business someday. Thanks again for beautiful and comfortable rocker.

D.B.

You bet Gary! I thank you and salute your artistry

all persuasions — no violence

G.D.

Thank you — the chair and stool arrived as promised, and is even lovelier than I had remembered.

E.K.

Dear Gary,

Yes, I meant to e-mail you earlier! The chair is fine. I love it. BAX Global was easy to deal with, and they even specified a range of four hours for delivery, which was helpful.

Just so you're informed, there was a small hole in one side of the box, about large enough for a finger, but it was opposite the back of the chair. No problem.

It's really soothing to have the beautiful, comfortable chair and stool.

Thank you.
M.N.

Gary,

Thanks for writing. I should have written you by now.

The chairs arrived on schedule and are beautiful as well as extremely comfortable. They are in our kitchen around a table that L.’s dad refinished 30 years ago and had featured prominently in her childhood. The chairs work very well with the table esthetically, too. I suspect we will end up ordering 6 more for the dining room eventually.

The mahogany sample was clearly marked and has been set aside for a rendezvous with our furniture painter.

Best to all, and thanks for the info about Marshall.

Regards,
J.S.

Gary,

Our chairs arrived on Thursday as planned. The surprise was perfect — my wife drove in the driveway just as they were being unloaded from the delivery truck. They're beautiful, and we're very pleased.

Thanks again,
J.S.

It's here!

Looks very handsome. We are happy. We are even talking about a cherry chair, but I'll have to come back to you on that.

Thanks — it's beautifully crafted and of course comfortable.

Best,
D. and D.M.

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to mention to you that I get a lot of pleasure from your furniture on a daily basis.

All the best,
A.M.

Gary,

The rocking chair was delivered this afternoon as scheduled. Within 10 minutes of unwrapping it, my grandson was asleep in my arms (see attached)!

It’s a lovely chair and is in perfect condition.

Thank you,
S.S.

Gary,

The rocking chair I recently purchased from you has exceeded my expectations.

I purposely waited until I had the chair a couple of months to see if the novelty of the rocker would wear off . . . but it hasn't. I've always wanted a good rocking chair to sit in to read or chat with others and now I have it. I never tire of sitting in the chair; it's a great fit for my body and back. I find myself sliding my fingers up and down the arms, the wood is so smooth and appealing. And of course, what I've always liked about your chair, every inch of the entire chair is just as smooth as the arms. I enjoy a good rock, and your chair has given me just that

I wrote at the beginning of my note that the chair has exceeded my expectations. I'm amazed how well the walnut wood with its natural finish fits in with the light oak that I have throughout the majority of my house. This chair, like all of the other chairs I've seen that you've crafted, is a work of art, especially with the magnificent grain and the way you've used the grain to bring out the beauty of the chair. Such a seemingly simple design, yet the chair stands out as a thing of beauty over all the other furniture in our living area.

I see you've delivered approximately 23 more chairs since I acquired #1767 in May. If these most recent purchasers were looking for a beautiful chair to rock to their heart's content, I'm sure you have 23 more delighted customers. Come on, West Virginia!!

My thanks to you, Austin, and the rest of your team for your passion for excellence. I observe it and feel it every day!!


S.S.

Hello Gary and Aubrey:

The rocker and table are great. The color is nice, the wood is well matched, and it's so comfortable that we're finding excuses to sit down.

Only problem was the delivery service. They did not come in their time window, then came at the end of their second time window.

Can you tell me more about this mahogany? Is it Honduran?

Thanks again, and thanks for this follow up note.
J.B.

Mr. Weeks,

The rocking chair arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was great. Thanks for a beautiful rocking chair that I'll pass down to my children.

B.C.

Dear Gary,

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful rocker. It looks wonderful up in the SOU library.

Thank you
S.C.

Gary,

The chair is beautiful, she was surprised, and she loves it. Thanks for helping me make such a memorable birthday for my wife and for providing us with a piece of furniture that will become a family heirloom.

Sincerely,
J.R.

Sorry for not dropping a note to you earlier.

The table is very nice. It is just what I expected. You do very nice work.

J.P.D.

Hi Gary!

Yes, S. got the rocker on Monday!! I've been out of town since then, and just got home to the good news. She LOVES it, as does the grandmother (my sister), the new dad, and everyone else that's rocked in it. I can't wait to visit and see the new baby as well as the new rocker. Thank you and your team so very much for getting it out so quickly. The baby had been home only 2 days before it arrived. And please don't forget to let me know if you ever get any pecan wood.

Thank you again,
S.K.

I had meant to write a bit sooner, but things have been quite busy. We have received the rocker, of course, and it is every bit as beautiful and comfortable as the ones in your showroom. We have already gotten a number of compliments on it, as well as great enjoyment from simply sitting in it and reading in our sun room. I fear that when our son is born I will no longer get to sit in it much . . . we already fight over it a bit, and I won't have any leverage once nursing starts. We will be sure to send you pictures.

J.S.

What a beauty! All went well with delivery and I am enjoying sitting with a view of my garden in my new cherry rocker.

Thanks very much.
M.R.

Thanks for the note. Indeed I am enjoying the chair. Good spot to watch the Mets and Yankees (nothing against the Rangers or Astros of course).

All the Best,
A.B.

Dear Gary;

Yes, I am truly enjoying your rocking chair. Its very comfortable as well as beautiful, and with my bad back, I am a happy guy.

Thanks,
I.V.

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know that we love the rocker — as does anyone else who sits in it . . . unfortunately, I'm at a stage in my pregnancy where I can't fully enjoy it (I need to lean forward not back), but I'm looking forward to many day and nights of rocking our son.

Thanks to you and your family for the good work you're doing in the world.

Blessings,
A.S.

We LOVE our rocker . . . thanks so much. It has been a life saver for our new little girl N.

I spoke to Aubrey yesterday — but the rocker arrived Monday with NO problems.

You have all been amazing.

I'll send pictures of N. and her dad in the rocker in a bit.

Best,
K.S.

[Continued]
Gary,
Hi there. No time to weed these out for just good rocker shots, but thought you would love the ones of my husband D. holding little N. in your masterpiece! :-) Feel free to use in your marketing.

All my best wishes and many thanks,
K.

Gary,

Today our son turned 6 months and we've had our beautiful rocker for just one week longer than that. Upon opening the crate I knew immediately that my wife and I really had our first work of art for our home. It compliments our nursery perfectly and would compliment the style of any room in our home that we might later choose for it. Your chair rocks like a champ and certainly served its purpose rocking our son to sleep for those first testing weeks. One thing I did not expect was for the chair to be so soft and touchable. I have never before experienced such incredible smoothness in a sanding job; nor have I seen any craftsmanship glow the way this chair does!

Now that your rocker has been officially crowned a family heirloom, I had to send you our sincerest thanks. Your special care in sizing and cutting our chair back inscription is priceless, and I recommend it to anyone looking to make their chair truly unique. You really do offer an incredible piece at truly a bargain price. You should continue to be proud of the work you and your shop turns out. I look forward to purchasing a dining room set from you in a few years when we are more capable. Thank you again!

S.P.

Gary:

We love the rocker! The craftsmanship is remarkable; the design inspired. It is seemingly molded to one's body without a pressure point to be found! You absolutely do not need a cushion. We had some friends over last weekend and they loved it as well. I wouldn't be surprised if you receive some additional orders as a result, but I suspect that's how you get most of your business.

It is reassuring to know that there is still someone out there that understands quality and takes pride in their work.

Regards,
G.U.

Hi Gary,

We love the rocking chair, and it fits so well in our new home. The rocker is beautiful, functional, and so comfortable! At some point this summer, J. will be delivering a desk for our study, and I'll be sure that he has a chance to rock for a few minutes. Thanks very much!

K.H.

Hello Gary,

Thank you very much for following up with us. I have been meaning to contact you. The chair is wonderful. I must admit I was a little skeptical about some of the claims, but it fits me (5'11"), my father (6'5"), and my mother (5'1") perfectly. The craftsmanship is top notch, the delivery process was great, and the chair looks like it will be a wonderful addition to our lives. Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Z.G.

Thank you, Gary. We are very pleased with the rocker and it looks very nice in our nursery. We look forward to many hours of happy rocking when our baby gets here! It could be any day now.

C.D.

Gary,

The rocker is both an anniversary gift and will become an heirloom for our family. It is beautiful.

Thank you,
M.A.

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.
B.U.

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.

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.

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.
