Hi Gary,

Thanks for the email.

The rocking chair made it safe and sound to our home.

All of the family have been sitting in it, enjoying it and commenting how comfortable and beautiful it is.

J.K.

Gary Week’s rocker is absolutely the most comfortable rocker around, as this is the last place I sit before climbing into bed. Often I doze off, rocking away.

I own many rocking chairs—from antique mission rockers and caned seated ones to creaky, old wooden ones. I also have rocking chairs on both outside patios—vintage metal rocking chairs that I restored and the polywood rockers. I have a total of 10 rocking chairs dotted in my home or outside areas. If there is a rocking chair in a room, that’s where I want to sit.

With that said, my husband and I recently retired. We wanted chairs in our TV room that were super comfortable and were pleasing to the eye. All I wanted was a rocking chair. My husband googled “best rocking chairs.” We found Gary Weeks. His shop is located in Texas. I am in Philadelphia. I was concerned about purchasing a piece of furniture without sitting in it or even seeing it. I called the shop. Gary immediately called me back. I shared my concerns. He assured me that if I was not totally satisfied with the rocker, he would pay for shipping back and give me a total refund, including the initial shipping cost. So, I thought this could work.

The wood Gary uses is stunning. It is as if sunshine is in the room at all times. The craftsmanship is incredible. I have arthritis in my shoulder. The armrests are perfectly aligned with your spine. I feel no pain or discomfort while sitting in this chair. The back is amazing for lumbar support. If you watch Gary Weeks’s video on his website, it discusses all the comfort points. This was what sold me initially. And, the promises he makes are real. It is the most comfortable chair —hands down—around. It is a piece of art. It is designed to support your body’s structure. As I said in the beginning of this review, Gary Weeks’s rocking chair is the last place I sit before climbing into my bed. It lulls me to sleep. You will not be disappointed.

Hi Austin,
We LOVE the rocking chair. It arrived safely to my MIL.’s house in Virginia. She’s afraid to have it downstairs because she says it’s the nicest piece of furniture in her house. But I think she’ll get used to it! Here's photo of grandma and baby. It also suits my husband and his 6’5” height. .... Thanks again! We just adore the chair.

Dear Gary, we’re throughly enjoying rocking in our mahogany porch rockers. They are an absolute dream.
Thank you,
HR

Hi Gary and Austin,The Maple Rocker has been delivered and my daughter is so very happy, she says it is "Beautiful!" and has sent me 3 photos of her sitting in it and beaming. Plenty of room for the little one in her tummy too.
She looks so happy and comfortable. Made my day / month/ year so far : )
Kindest regards,J.

Hello Gary and co,
I just wanted to send an enormous thank you for the beautiful rocking chair and stool I received in December. This chair has been the go-to for everyone who rocks our new baby girl and it’s my absolute favorite space to nurse. I’m sitting in it now and don’t want to get up :). Both the chair and the foot stool are gorgeous, extremely comfortable and I feel the love and care oozing out of every thoughtful curve. What an excellent thing to create and share with the world, thank you so much.

I hope you all have a beautiful spring and very successful year. Xo

I unpacked the rocker. It is in great shape. Not only did I receive a fine rocking chair, Brother this is a piece of art. The rocking chair fits me perfect. That's awesome. Thank you, Gary, you and your crew are amazing. Bless you all.

Hello again

Thank you so much

I did receive it. It is incredible. Thank you so much, can’t wait for another occasion/excuse to gift another.
Gratefully,

K

L. ,

Here's a little case study. I'm 5 feet 2 inches and sat on the chair right after we got it out of the box (by the way, it was really well packed with padding where it was necessary but no extra garbage, and in a high quality box that had clearly been designed for this chair). Not only did I find it very comfortable, but I also noticed something very unusual: my feet reached the ground when I was sitting. Then it was S.'s turn. There was silence until S. finally said what we were both thinking. If I could reach the ground, the chair was going to be ridiculously tiny for his 6 feet 2 inches.

Well... he tried it and also liked it a lot. We were very impressed by the design. Honestly, I didn't think it'd be possible to make a chair that would be comfortable for body types as different as ours. I'll learn more about Gary and his team on their website. I'm curious now!

Thank you!
V.

Hi Gary,
My son said they absolutely love the rocker! Thanks so very much for everything.
R

Thanks Gary the chair arrived just a while ago. It's fantastic and we are glad to be customers of yours…

Gary,Your gorgeous rocker arrived today on my 74th birthday. I absolutely love it. Haven’t been this comfortable sitting since I can’t remember when. Thank you so much. …

All the best to you and Austin, all your family and employees.

S.

Dear Gary and Austin,

Well, it seems like an eternity, but today was finally the day. The rocker arrived a bit tired from its travels, but no worse for wear - ...

It is truly a thing of beauty. I'm particularly enamored with the figure in the back splats.

Thank you both for the amazing work that you continue to do, and thanks especially for putting up with all the hassle of shipping this treasure so far from home.

Sincerest and kindest regards,
C.

And it is truly stunning. We look forward to many years of enjoyment. And we thank you and your colleagues for such wonderful craftsmanship.

J.

Delivery: Great service
Chair: In perfect condition
Chair: Awesomely beautiful
Chair: Such a comfortable sit

Thanks,
J.

The coffee table is gorgeous! I plan to order a plant table or bookcase to complete “mom’s walnut room” as my family now calls it. I couldn’t be happier! Your rocker was the beginning of a wonderful furniture buying experience. I’d like to refurnish many rooms from your company.

M.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for reaching out. The rocker is absolutely wonderful. It is better than I could have ever imagined. C. loves it and basically can not stop talking about how much he loves it. The wood is so soft, the shape and size is perfect. It is currently living in our living room because he would like to sit in it by the fire every night of the winter before moving out to the porch for spring.

Thanks again for such wonderful craftsmanship and customer service. It means the world!

Kindly,
H.

Gary,

We just received the chair today. thank you for all your hard work on this beautiful chair. It looks incredible. The attention to detail in amazing. Thank you we will have this in our family for a very long time.

A.

Mr. Weeks:

The Rocker arrived this morning. It appears that it showed delivery on the AIT site, but that was delivery to a subsequent Carrier. It arrived today without damage. My wife’s response was IT’s FABULOUS! Thank you for this work of art. I have enjoyed doing business with you and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the follow up, the rocking chair is just what I was looking for, something generational where it’s craftsmanship and beauty would last from generation to generation.

Thanks again
L.

Hi Gary,

My wife was quite surprised when she received the rocker and as you would probably expect, my wife loves it. The shape is perfect along with the woodwork. She was also amazed that while it fits her at 5’3” is also fits me at 6’1”. I’m not sure how you accomplished that because we’ve never found a rocker that both of us like. At present, she plans to share it with me. We’ll see how that works out!

From my perspective, I was amazed at the care you took in sending the rocker. It could have been picked up at your factory from the looks of the packaging right off the truck. Upon opening the box, I was exceptionally pleased with the care you took in making sure the rocker would have not even a scratch upon arrival. Your rocker is the best packaged item I’ve ever bought.

Thanks for all your help to make our 50th anniversary a special day for both of us.

J

Dear Beautiful Rocker Crew,

I want to thank you for our already beloved heirloom rocker! EVERYONE loves it. The festive Christmas drawings on the box were such a thoughtful touch as I gave this lovely piece to myself for Christmas.

Thanks for putting the LOVE and Joy in our new rocker! Keep spreading Peace, Love, and Joy

Gary,

There were two or three reasons I wanted one of your rockers, but primary in my mind was to honor your commitment to true craftsmanship and your dedication to preserving craft traditions. I am pleased to see that your business is thriving as others must recognize and value similar ideals. You will leave a remarkable legacy.

The rocker now has a pride of place in my living room. Stop by and see it next time you’re up this way.

Best Regards,
J.

Gary

Designed for comfort, engineered forever, crafted with care and skill, and delivered on timefor my birthday! This mesquite chair by you and your crew is a delighful addition to thereading area of my studio ...

I particularly enjoy the matching of the complex grain of mesquite with the chairs symmetry,sitting in it as the winter storms pour over the top of the range, and thinking.

Please extend my appreciation to all who help build 3765, their attention to quality is obvious,so too your concept of comfort.

Rocking in good health

It was wonderful seeing l's face when I got to give her the chair. She loved it. Thank you.

May your 2022 be filled with love and laughter.

A quick death, and an easy one.
A pretty girl, and an honest one.

Gary,

The rockers were a huge hit!

The quality of your rockers is truly unsurpassed. And, the professional, courteous and personal touch of Team Gary Weeks makes all the difference.

Thank you again.

Happy New Year 2022!

Best regards,
K&B

Hi Gary,

I received the Mesquite rocking chair today. I looks great!

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and your team,
- S. T.

Just wanted to let you know that we received the rocker in fine shape and couldn’t be more pleased with the result! It’s everything you claimed it would be and then some: stunning in design, beauty, workmanship and comfort. Kudos to everyone involved in the design and production of such a work of art, and I don’t use that term lightly!

You have a company to be proud of.

Best regards,
P.

Hey Gary,

...The chair arrived in great shape and has been in near continual use since - a superb piece of furniture!

...One thing I failed to mention is the comfort of the back structure. The height, width and curvature are just right for me and also seems to fit neighbors of a wide range of sizes who have tried the chair - don't change a thing for future versions.

Best wishes for the holiday season and coming year,
C.P.

I/we are delighted. Thank you for making such a quality rocker!

Thank you so much for the beautiful rocker. My husband loved this gift! He’d been eyeing it for years, so for his milestone birthday this year, I decided to order it for him. It’s so comfortable and he loves the maple wood/ finish. The wood is so smooth! You can just look at the chair and tell it’s a work of art! The delivery was right on time- was packed well and delivered in perfect condition.

Thank you for making this gorgeous chair for him- I think he’d agree it’s the best gift ever. We’d highly recommend your company to anyone looking for an exceptionally well made rocker!

Thank you again!
D.

Thank you! He loves it!!

Have a blessed holiday season!

Hi Autumn --

...The rocking chair is beautiful and your company has been good to deal with...

All the very best,
D.

Gary: Very nice to hear from you. You make an incredible rocking chair! It supports so well that when I sit in it, I immediately feel the tension in my neck, shoulders, spine and lower back relax. Same with my wrists and forearms from the arm rests. I always want to lean my head back, close my eyes and doze a bit.

Thank you for your kind words, but don’t worry, the damage to the first rocker did not cause apprehension. I felt bad for your company, because you had made such a beautiful piece. It needed to be restored to its full luster – and only by your crew. Just seeing it, however, increased my anticipation of enjoying the rocker, so I didn’t mind returning it and waiting a little longer. Austin was so responsive in his willingness to quickly ship the second rocker. It arrived the day before Thanksgiving and all my family members savored it, with corresponding oohs and aahs.

It has been a real pleasure working with your company. You exemplify the perfect combination: A truly superior, hand-crafted product, and very friendly, responsive – even accommodating -- customer service. I will continue to urge every person who enters my house to try the chair. I will tell the story of how it came to be in my family room and sing your company’s praises. Hopefully, one or more of my guests (after they wake up from snoozing in the chair), will decide that they must have one for themselves!

Very best holiday wishes to you, your family and your wonderful team.

Warm Regards,
D.

Gary, Fantastic craftsmanship on the chair. Love it. Thank you.
D.

The rocking chair is beautiful. Thank you for making such a beautiful product. It is bringing happiness to people already.
M.E.

I just wanted to let you know the rocker arrived this evening in perfect condition, it’s beautiful, I love it and it is a perfect fit. This will definitely aid in my recovery.

Thank you
M.

Hello Gary,

A’s beautiful walnut rocker was delivered this afternoon. She loves it and we are grateful for your help when it was temporarily lost during shipment.

We could not be more pleased with the rocking chair and will gladly recommend you and your company to everyone who appreciates such fine craftsmanship.

Thank you,
P. and A.

Thank you Gary, Austin, and everyone involved, the chair is utterly beautiful! The wood grain is gorgeous and well matched, and the craftsmanship impeccable. It arrived safe and sound and the big box is being used as a playhouse for our three year old daughter. (She's even got windows, a door, and a chimney on top). Recycling day is on Monday, but something tells me I won't be allowed to let it go....

The chair itself is the most comfortable piece of furniture I've ever sat in. The support is in all the right places. This may be my first Weeks purchase but it won't be the last!

Thank y'all again,
A.

Dear Gary, Austin & Autumn,

The most beautiful rocking chair was delivered to my daughter in Seattle yesterday! She LOVES it! She said it's incredibly well made, beautiful to look at, and so very comfortable. She and her husband are tall people and the proportions were just right!

I think the only thing that will improve upon it will be the addition of a baby in the not-too-distant future!

Thank you for all that you did to enhance our family with your rocking chair! We appreciate it.

Sincerely,
M.

Gary, ... your timing could not have been more spot on! It arrived the day our daughter was born, and was waiting for us when we came home from the hospital.

The chair is not only beautiful, but comfortable as well. My wife was pleasantly surprised that it fits her just right. We both love bonding with our daughter in the chair, and use it everyday for feeding sessions and general relaxing. In fact, i am writing to you while sitting in the rocker. Worth every penny!

Again, thanks a million for your excellent service, pleasant demeanor and impeccable craftsmanship. We are thrilled with both new additions to our family, and may she nurse her own children in it one day.

Peace and many thanks,
The D’s

Dear Weeks Family

The Weeks Rocker was delivered around 3:00 by a courteous and helpful driver. We sent the box back for reuse—clever packaging.

The chair is beautiful, perfectly finished, comfortable for everyone that has tried it and looks great in our living room plus L. and I both love how it feels to sit in it. It is miraculous that something so durable can be so comfortable.

Thank you for your years of research, your fine woodcraft and beautiful finish.
L. and D.

The rocker arrived safe and whole. The box had a fairly large hole punched on the side so we were a little worried. Once the rocker was out and totally exposed we fell in love immediately. The rocker craftsmanship is amazing and beyond our expectation. Even the freight company representative commented on the workmanship. Thanks so much for the support, it is now part of the family lore.
D.

Thanks for the follow up. I’ll admit I was disappointed about not having the blanket wrapped delivery … That said, the chairs are wonderful. They were a present for my wife and she loves them. Beautiful chair and spectacular craftsmanship. Thanks for adjusting the shipping cost.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

Thanks,
D.

Dear Gary Weeks,

I just received my walnut rocker, and footstool. The delivery was successful and my rocker and stool were in great condition. I am so very pleased with my purchase, and I can’t wait to enjoy it. I am deeply impressed with the quality of the products, and the great attention you all paid to the detail that is prevalent throughout each piece. Your craftsmanship speaks volumes, and I cannot compliment you, and your team enough for delivering such outstanding results. I am humbly filled with gratitude, and pride that I, and my family are owners of some of your beautiful work.

Sincerely,
D.

Thanks, Gary. The footstool arrived and we are enjoying it.

Thanks for your great craftsmanship and support!

Best,
J.

Thanks for checking in. The chair has been a huge hit, and in fact I just saw my sister last week for the first time since the pandemic started. I have not had a chance to use it myself, but am hoping to do so when I take a trip out to see her in September.

My parents got to use it when they visited my sister recently and I was informed that my father promptly fell asleep in it.

Cheers-
J.

Hi Gary!

Thank you for your lovely note, from one grandparent to another. :)

I am feeling proud of myself as a grandmother for purchasing a Weeks Rocker for my daughter L. and her husband A. to celebrate the birth of their first child. What a perfect idea for us to give them that rocking chair, and what a spectacular job you and your team did creating it! It's truly amazing--a beautiful, functional centerpiece in their home. Whenever I head over to their house to wallow in my grandma role, I spend nearly the entire visit sitting in that lovely, comfortable rocker. And I hear that when I'm not there hogging it, it is enjoyed by L. and A. and Baby H. almost continuously.

A couple of weeks after H. was born, her other grandparents (A.'s parents) came out from South Dakota to visit and meet her. L. said the VERY first words uttered upon their arrival, walking into the house, were by A.'s dad (an artist), who gasped and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, WHERE did you get that CHAIR? I have never seen anything so well made. It's truly a work of art.” ... and for the duration of their 4-day visit they were rocking H. in it, taking turns.

Please share our grateful story with your team. I'm sure one of the wonderful aspects of working at Gary Weeks & Company is the opportunity to make beautiful things for real people who treasure them every single day, which we absolutely do. Thank you all

Best regards,
K.

Received the rockers and all expectations have been met! The artistry and craftsmanship is greatly appreciated!!!
