Gary,

Your timing is excellent.

They contacted me Monday and delivered yesterday around 5 PM. The dispatch person was very courteous and professional. They gave me a small delivery window, 4–7 PM, and they arrived when they said.

The chairs are in perfect shape.

They are now around our dining room table. They look very nice.

We are very pleased. Thank you for the chairs. And thank you for the trouble-free experience buying them.

All the best to you and your team.

Your happy customer,
M.

Hi, Gary, the buffet and bar stools were delivered this morning and they are BEAUTIFUL!!!! We are very pleased and very excited and eager to get the buffet filled and sit on the stools at our kitchen island . . . SO comfortable!

P. and I love the dimensions and designs of both pieces and especially love the wood you selected to form the patterns of light meeting dark, burl contrasting with smooth. Gorgeous! Even those shelves are works of art! And we did not know the name of the "tapered sliding dovetails" until you mentioned them in an email, but we did notice them right away and are very impressed : )

In terms of storage, I am thrilled that the drawers are deep enough to hold two stacks of place-mats side by side. Wow! I think it will be great fun and very satisfying to figure out exactly how I want to store things in the drawers and on the shelving. This is the largest single storage piece we have ever had for our linens, flatware, candles, china, crystal, etc. And in our smaller space here, efficient and pleasing storage is especially appreciated : )

Gary,

A quick note to let you know we got the table and chairs and they are beautiful — the finest craftsmanship I have ever seen and we are delighted. There is much more I'd like to say in appreciation but for now just a big thank you and we'll be in touch.

S.

Gary,

We received the table and chairs this morning and they are awesome. The wood looks a lot better than I thought it would. The attention to detail you and your guys did is amazing. I really appreciate what you have done for me. You were a real pleasure to work with.

The whole process to get to the finish project was something I will never forget and you were a big part of it. Most people will look at the table and chairs and think it is some real fine furniture. My daughter will look at it and know how much she means to me, and I will look at it and think of it as an amazing adventure.

Thanks for everything.
R.

Hello Gary, Austin and all:

Just wanted to let you know that the beautiful table and chairs just arrived in perfect condition. Here are a few pics to let you know where your work will be living. The light fixture is from Wimberley Glass, by the way. We were purchasing that when we first saw your studio. Our Weeks rocker is out on the patio (a little bright out there, now). We will check with you in the future to add a bar stool. Thanks again.

C. and D.

Gary,

I received the desk. It is just what I wanted. Wonderful. You should consider putting a picture of it on your website. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
R.

Gary,

The barstools arrived in perfect condition and they are just beautiful. You run a pretty tight ship there and we are very impressed with your brochure. We really love them and our wood working friends have been very impressed.

Thanks,
M. and T.

Everything is beautiful and I'm already enjoying them. Thanks for your wonderful craftsmanship. I know I'll enjoy them for my life time.

M.

Hi Gary,

We received the table, chairs and corner cabinet this afternoon — they are all beautiful! My wife now wants the buffet to be done . . . and the room repainted!

Cheers,
B.

Yes, thank you. The table and chairs arrived ok and are very nice. Looking forward to the Cherry Wood darkening which your brochure said it would.
All in all, very happy.

Best Regards,
L.E.

Gary,

It certainly has been a real pleasure working with you as well. We are extremely pleased with our furniture. The figure on the table top is incredible, and the figure detail in the chair seats — wow!. It's only going to get better as the wood ages. These are true pieces of art and we could not be happier. When the set is all together we'll take some great pictures and send them to you.

Many thanks to you and your team!
D.H.

Wow do we love the chair and the table!! I was going to take them to my [office] but my fiance' sat in it and said no way.

Both are beautiful and comfortable and exquisitely crafted. Thank you — I look forward to ordering something else! Came packed in a crate that was like Fort Knox — we are using the box as a fort for the kids down the street (until the rain makes it unsuitable). Thanks again Gary.

With appreciation,
A.

Hi Gary,

We received the stools, and rocker last night.

Everything was perfect, and we are extremely impressed with your workmanship and design.

Thank you for all your attention, and follow up.

We hope to order again in the future.

Best Regards,
E.

Gary,

We received the walnut table and chairs in good condition from CDS, no damage I have seen.

It is beautiful! And it fits the space, just as planned. We look forward to many years of enjoyment, with the family gathering around the masterpiece of workmanship you folks have created.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
S. and M.

Gary,

I am remiss in contacting you about the arrival of our furniture. My apologies. With that said, I can assure you that we are tremendously pleased with all the pieces. They are just what we thought they would look like . . . and more!

It has been such a pleasure working with you. Photos will follow soon.

Best regards,
A.

Gary and Team,

Congratulations. A great article about my favorite chairmaker. My rocking chairs (and dining chairs) are some of my prized possessions.

I'd like to THANK YOU one more time.

S.

Gary,

Thanks, she loved the stool. As I mentioned in my Christmas card (which you should get any day now), she was happy I DIDN'T get the Auburn symbol on there. Go figure.

. . . She was surprised.

Hope you had a great holiday with you and yours. Hope the air scrubber is still going strong.

Have a great 2011.

Hi Gary, I thought you'd like to know that our beautiful chairs arrived this morning. Those delivery guys are real go-getters! They got themselves on the 5:45 AM ferry and were here and unloaded by 7:00. Good thing we're early risers. The chairs are perfect, and I know that they will be enjoyed, not only by us, but by the next generations. It was a real pleasure doing business with you, and to feel the personal connection that will enrich our ownership of the pieces as the years go by. Many thanks.

L. and T.

Gary–

I just got home from work. I opened and fell in love with your carefully shipped Williams chair. Thank you. Wow! You and your artist-craftsmen are gifted and create beautiful furniture of impeccable quality.

I will get back with you shortly about returning the sample chair and, most likely, placing an order. I want others in my family to test sit in the chair before I place the order.

Thank you, again.

With regards,
M.

Hi Gary,

You may remember us; we bought a beautiful dining set and two rockers when we redid our Pocono home several years ago. They continue to look fabulous and just last night I was rocking in the cherry rocker before a beautiful fire and was feeling all was right with the world. Everybody who visits us comments on the beauty and comfort of these pieces.

J.

Hi Gary,

Our dining chairs arrived recently, and I can't tell you how pleased we are.

They're comfortable and so beautiful, a source of pleasure all the way around. Ever since we completed our family's first-grandbaby-Weeks-rocking-chair program, my husband has longed to own a Weeks chair himself. Now he has six, and couldn't be happier.

Thank you for your craftsmanship.
L. and J.

-------------------------------

Hi again Gary — those rocking chairs have been a source of pleasure for the mothers, the fathers, the grandparents, AND the babies. Now that they are getting big, the kids settle in with a book, although they all like sitting with a squishy grownup who will read to them. Those rockers rank up there with education as money well spent.

Thanks again.
L.

Thanks Gary . . . . . . . . . we got the table home in perfect condition — thanks to your expert packaging — and it looks and feels wonderful. The finish is truly beautiful and the overall craftsmanship brings us much joy and a sense of calmness and well-being. It was great working with you!

J.

Hi Gary, just a quick note during my lunch hour about the table delivery. I received it yesterday morning, and my wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary at the table that evening. It arrived intact and perfect, and the delivery was on time and professional. That is a good company.

Thank you also for including felt dots for the chairs; I was almost out. I am especially happy with the hand-made character of the table top, and with the grain matching on the chairs.

From a design perspective, both of us find the arms on the arm chair to be on the high end of comfortable. Perhaps a little more bevel to smooth out the front edge of the armrest would alleviate this.

Thank you for the furniture, and for providing such excellent support,
P. and A.

Hello Gary,

I got your note at my office this morning. The stools and bench arrived in great shape, that freight company has at least one pair of polite and professional drivers.

You failed to adequately describe the stool seats, I thought mesquite of that clarity was reserved for Texas governors and oil executives.

J.

Hello Gary:

I do apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes — everything is fine — the desk is SPECTACULAR, as is the dining table . . .

K.

The furniture arrived on Saturday and it is beautiful — we just love it.

Thanks you,
S.

Dear Gary,

Just to let you know the furniture arrived on Friday so we got to see it. It looks lovely.

Thanks,
L.

Dear Gary,

R. and I want you to know how much we like our new dining room chairs, and how much we appreciate your work. The chairs are so comfortable that we can now enjoy leisurely meals and conversation around the table without having to get up due to soreness from sitting too long. And they are beautiful! The chairs are identical and each one is different. They look and feel the same, but variations in the wood grain give each one an individual character. So in addition to having great seating for us and our guests at dinnertime, we find we have added works of art to our home. The quality of design, craftsmanship, attention to detail and finishing that went into these chairs is apparent whether we are looking at them, sitting in them, or both. We expect they will become family heirlooms and be enjoyed by our successors for generations to come.

Thank you.
R. and J.

Gary, we received them yesterday and took them out of the boxes today. The chairs are beautiful!

Thank you so much,
C.

Hi Gary,

The chairs arrived shortly after we arrived home, and we immediately unpacked them, and we love them! Particularly the rocker is just right and very comfortable. We mailed you a check yesterday so you should receive it soon.

Thank you again for your excellent work and friendly approach to doing business. We will certainly treasure these chairs for many years (and hopefully generations) to come.

Best wishes,
K.

Gary,

Yes, it all arrived in great condition, and we're very pleased. Finally, we'll have plenty of room for big family gatherings. The second rocker is next to the first, facing west out of our big living room window, so my husband and I can watch sunsets together. The kitchen barstools are the most comfortable I've ever sat on.

K.

Gary,

The table arrived mid-afternoon yesterday.

It is excellent in every way and J. and I love it. The proportions are perfect and fit and finish flawless.

We are very pleased and very grateful to you and your team for a job excellently done.

With very best wishes,
A.

Austin, chairs are awesome and made for some fun on Christmas morning — my wife walked through the dinning rm a few times getting all things wonderful for our little girl then saw them — it was excellent — really appreciate your alls work and ethic — keep it up — would love to come by the shop for a coffee nxt time . . .

J.

PS: our house is my wife's painting show rm and to date one of the comments I always hear is wow who made the rocker . . . so I expect some wow who made the chairs. I will be sure to send u some orders!

The table did indeed finally arrive and we love it. It fits perfectly. I like it best with the leaf in — the length fills the dining room best that way. Makes me think I should get two more chairs but that may be a while. My bank account has to recover. :-) Thank you so much for your beautiful work.

J.

Gary, I just received it and all is beautiful! The delivery people called and kept in contact all day — it was dreadful traffic today in Miami with the VP here and freeways closed — poor guys, they were very careful and communicated with me.

The table is the perfect size for the area and the chairs and the table are pieces of art — however, the rocker beats all!! I love it — thank you for such wonderful and comfortable work.

Take care. And thank you again.
K.

Gary,

Well the furniture has now been ensconced in our dining room for four days and it is wonder-full!

The delivery went smoothly with good communication from Jeff, the driver, en route to our location. Jeff was a very courteous, accommodating man who has many years of furniture experience under his belt. All of the pieces arrived in perfect condition.

Of course we knew the quality of your work since we now have some mileage on our rocking chairs. Nevertheless, we are thrilled with our dining room set. We had originally been searching for a dining table with a smaller footprint than the one that we have been living with for the past 12 years. When we stumbled upon your comprehensive, well-organized website, we were intrigued and pleased to find that we could:

  • learn about the whole cast of characters at Gary Weeks Furnituremakers,
  • explore the process of FSC certification and link to the website of your supplier,
  • and educate ourselves about the history of your relationship with wood and the process of design, selection and finishing of the reverently-arranged material.

We had a very nice table, yet it is so nice to have one that's more suitable for just the two of us. And the generously-sized leaves will give us ample space when large gatherings are the order of the day.

Thank you so much for the luminous enhancement to the quality of our daily lives.

All the best,

ME. and K.

P.S. Just need to add one more comment which integrates a quote that I am borrowing from a friend: The finish on your furniture is so refined that it's "Soft as a Pillow!" ~~ME

Hi Gary,

Sorry for the delay in reply. D. was out of town when the table was delivered. She likes it very much. Thank you once again for making my client happy. You make my job easy.

All the best,
S.

Thanks! It is beautiful! Already has legos on it!

A.

Good Morning Gary,

. . . We postponed dinner until the boxes were unwrapped (Superb packing job!). After dinner, we just rocked the night away! Thanks so much for your personable and professional guidance through every aspect of this purchase! We also want you to know that one unforeseen advantage of buying Weeks Rockers and Harris Stools for both of us is that as we are rocking we can look over each other's chair + stool and still enjoy the visual experience of Weeks Furnituremakers craftsmanship!

Well, I could go on & on with kudos for your design capabilities, wood selection and attention to detail! Yet I have to step away from this terminal now and head to town.

Sorry not to have written last night . . . We were unable to extricate ourselves from our wonderful new chairs . . .

Rock on!
M.

Hi Gary,

The chairs arrived and we love them. They fit into our small house very well, and we will certainly treasure them for many years to come . . . I hope that we can take a trip to Texas one day, and possibly meet you. We really appreciate your personal service and obvious care in all that you do. Best wishes and thank you again!

K. and C.

Gary,

Received the stools and rocker on Monday, as you discovered. Stools are unpacked and sitting at my counter. After the rest of my counter top is installed on Monday, I will be enjoying my morning coffee from one. I partially unpacked the rocker, enough to sit in it and rock, but left most of the bubble wrap around the base as I want to cover it up if anyone is working nearby. I am thrilled with all of the furniture.

Thanks
A.H.

Gary,

Inspector Closeau went to Colusa and found the table and chair in perfect condition.

Very beautiful wood and much appreciated.

M.S.

Gary,

Its all here safe and sound. It looks like it has been there forever. The table top is remarkable. The time taken to lay out the boards in a way that balances the figures is obvious, and very much appreciated. I looked at all of the seats, they are all very nicely matched too. I'll send some pictures with comments in a few days. I’m amazed at the correspondence between the figures on the seats and human sitting anatomy.

The fellows who delivered the furniture did a really great job getting it in. They did finally take off the top but only after sizing up the door situation themselves. It was a 1/2 inch socket and well as you would expect, that was the only one missing from my set. A quick trip to the hardware store solved that.

Thanks so much
Merry Christmas to you and yours
J. and T.A.

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

J.W.

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.

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.

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~!

J.L.B.

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.

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.

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.
