Hi Gary,

We are so pleased with the chair - yet again! B. was blown away by the craftsmanship and how comfortable a chair it is! She said "It is more comfortable than my couch!"

Thank you for helping us carry on this wonderful tradition!

Enjoy your new one!

Mr. Weeks,

We received the rocking chair and it is WONDERFUL!! My daughter is visiting with her baby girl and they use it all the time. It is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever rocked in. I told my husband we need a his and hers….he laughed but you never know, haha!

Thank you again so much!

Have a wonderful day.

Hello!

My rocker arrived this morning and I haven't wanted to get out of it since! It is extraordinarily comfortable. It feels like it was made for me! Thank you for your wonderful craftsmanship. This is my most treasured piece of furniture!

Best wishes,
k.

Gary,

The rocker arrived and my wife, V., loves it. …

Thanks from both of us.

Gary,

When Forrest called I told him I was tickled to hear from him and he said that he had the world's most beautiful rocking chair on his truck for me. He was not lying! It is absolutely gorgeous! The grain is beautiful, the matching and alignment of the grain on separate pieces is amazing and the workmanship is beyond anything I've seen. Every day I find some detailed piece of craftsmanship that blows me away. If you can't tell, I LOVE the chair.

The one question I have is care and feeding for the chair. From the website it would appear the my rocker has an oil finish and not wanting to do anything that might detract from it's beauty I'd appreciate knowing what you would recommend to clean and treat it. [see: https:/garyweeks.com/furniture/maintenance/]

Again, I love the rocker and dealing with everyone connected with it has been a pleasure. Thank you so much.

All the Best for you, your family and your workers,
R.

Hi Gary!

...I have to admit I also meant to email you to let you know the rocker arrived safely and in perfect condition. ...I absolutely enjoy it and know I will spend a good portion of the second half of my life rocking away in it.

Many thanks to you and yours for delivering exactly what you said you would. I am thrilled.

Sincerely,
S.

Gary and fellow makers,

Thank you for making this beautiful chair for my sweet husband. He loves it!!! It is a perfect fit and extremely comfortable. I so appreciate all of your effort and skill.

Sincerely,
K.

Hi Gary and Autumn – the rocker, footstool and table arrived on Friday, March 5th.

I must say, the packing in the those containers was so secure. Everything arrived with our a scratch and shipping boxes showed no sign of being dropped or crushed.

Most importantly, the furniture is lovely and I do believe the rocker will be an heirloom in our family. Many thanks for the fine craftsmanship and good service. Please pass our thanks to your team in shop...

With thanks,
G.

THE GARY WEEKS ROCKING CHAIR EXPERIENCE

Most of my adult life I searched for the perfect chair.

When I opened the box of my brand-new rocker, I was struck by the beautiful color and finish.

As soon as I sat in it, I totally relaxed. I could sit in the rocker without it moving or, just by almost thinking or moving my toes slightly, it would begin to rock.

The sheer sturdiness of its composition. The smoothness of the finish was like silk on wood.

I felt like I was sitting in a tree in a garden.

The slats on the back supports the concavity of the lumbar spine, as does the neck for the cervical spine. It is pitched perfectly as if he understands the mechanics of the body.

The arms slightly swerve backwards to the let the blood flow back to the heart. The arm rests allow you to support the arms and hands without fear of them falling off.

The embedded dowels and the little touches give the chair a classic stature. The wood is friendly to the body and almost needs no cushion.

One feels close to nature, especially in New York City.

Hi Gary

It is indeed an exceptional chair, on all levels, including how it promotes excellent posture.

You have both my gratitude as well as my respect.

Thank you for checking in.

Kind regards,
D.

Hi Gary,

Our chair has arrived! It's the most beautiful and comfortable rocker we have ever experienced and we are so greatful to have it in our home. My parents and A. and I gathered around and all took turns sitting in the chair and we all found something different to appreciate about the craftsmanship and design.

...The chair is the perfect addition to our space and symbolizes a mission and a philosophy of life that we hold dear...

Thank you so much Gary,
The W. Family

The furniture is holding up great. We’ve had a few sunny afternoons to enjoy it. The porch faces West-Southwest and warms up quite a lot when the sun makes an appearance. Today it is around 50 degrees and the light rain is coming in sideways. They are, without a doubt, the finest rocking chairs in which I have had the pleasure to sit.

Hi Gary and team

My good friends R. and C. bough me a cherry rocking chair for my retirement. I’ve been a dental specialist for 30 years, dealing in fractions of a millimetre my whole career. i can honestly say i would let Gary and his team do surgery on me.

The quality of this rocking chair is second to none. Absolutely, amazing.

Thank you very much to you and your team for being so dedicated to perfection.
C. J.

Gary,

The rocker is the only chair I have used since Christmas, it is wonderful. I keep running my hands over it and feeling the perfect edges and transitions. I love the ridge on the front of the rear leg that runs from the crest rail and disappears into the arm rest and the carefully chiseled chamfer where the crest blends into the leg. I keep reaching down to feel the crisp sharp corners of the seat corner against the smooth edges of the rear leg. I tried to find some sign of imperfection and nothing, it is hard to tell that human hands have touched it

The rocker is by far the nicest piece of furniture that I will ever own but on a $ per hour basis I suspect it will end up being the cheapest!
B.

Gary, it was just delivered. It is now unpacked, and in perfect condition. It is as beautiful as it is comfortable. My husband keeps saying” such fine workmanship.” Thank you so much. I do apologize for me last minute delivery concerns. It’s been a trying year. Best regards to you and your craftsmen.
D. O.

Thank you for your note..My rocker is very comfortable and I am delighted with it !!

Mine is in cherry wood, so wanted to confirm with you that the wood will darken over time?

If so, then that will be great.

Also, I was blown away when I saw this painting on top of the shipping box !! Please see the photo I took of it below…Very thoughtful and very well done – what a beautiful surprise !!

Thank you again!

Hello Gary,

I received my rocking chair. My wife is ecstatic. Thank you very much.

It’s absolutely beautiful and it is as comfortable as you claim.

Happy Holidays,
K.T.

Chair arrived today on time for Christmas. It is gorgeous and I even liked the box decoration. Thank you for building such a beautiful chair and getting it here in a timely fashion, J.

Hello Gary,

I actually received the delivery on Saturday. Thanks for checking. Everything went well with the delivery. The chair is absolutely beautiful and my wife loves it (and my three year old son loves the box it came in and appreciates the added artwork).

Thank you for an easy and smooth transaction process. Happy holidays to you and your family.

Best,
B.

Wanted to share how a 25-year-old classic pecan rocker of yours looks with a matching side table you made this year. My mother left me her beloved rocker, and I know she would adore this handsome pair. Your design and craftsmanship are wearing very well !

Thanks again—totally love it!
K.

Hi, all. The rocking chair is fabulous: beautiful, comfortable, incredibly solid. Thank you all for your commitment to your craft as we all try to work through these wild times.

Very best,
C.

What a uniquely exquisite shopping experience!! Found Gary’s website searching for a special rocker for my wife. Hand made in USA, high quality wood options, clearly intelligent but subtle design modifications for comfort...so that’s a great product! What blew me away was a personal phone call from Gary to discuss an inlay question I had, shipping options close to Christmas, any other questions or requests I might have...all with that endearing TX accent and mirrors the authentic and sincere videos on the website. Couldn’t be happier!

Sincerely,
P. H. DVM

The footstool arrived yesterday and is beautiful! Thanks once again for putting your heart and soul into your work.

K.

Dear Gary and Team,

The rocker came today and is truly a thing of beauty.

Oddly, I though I had ordered the walnut. That is what I intended to order. But I love the maple, and am warming to it so much that I’m now glad I made the mistake.

Thank you for your craftsmanship and commitment to excellence and quality. The rocker and table are works of art. Plus it is VERY comfortable to sit in!

Best,
C.

Hello Gary
The rocker made it home this morning.
It was packaged very well!
A huge thank you for helping this dream come true. Please let everyone who had a hand in creating this magnificent rocker know how pleased and grateful I am.
With Sincere thanks and a salute for excellent craftsmanship.

Yours truly,
E.

I'm fixing up my shady acre Ozark tree house.

…

But the rocking chair is the 💣 bomb!

That's. Where. I. Sit. Period. End. Of. Story.

I'll send photos.

It's mellowing so good I can hardly stand it!

With great respect and admiration,
S. S.

Love them and they look great! Thanks so much Gary.

C.

Gary,

The rocker was delivered a few minutes ago, in fine shape. The driver was very courteous and helped me unbox it (after I helped him carry it in to the house). I am so pleased with this addition to my living room!

Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving, and all the holidays to come.

Sincerely,
H.

Hi Gary,

Just wanted to let you know we received the rocking chair last night. It is absolutely stunning and at first rock I could tell that it is something special and so comfortable. I’m (trying) to wait until Christmas to surprise my husband. Ps the bumblebee art was such lovely addition as well... thanks Bela 💛 and thanks for making such high quality rocking chairs!
L.

Good afternoon Gary,

I received your/my foot stool which is perfect and the walnut table, which is also perfect.

It’s a privilege to care for these.

The delta inlay is a true smile maker.

I’d like to firmly shake your hand and look you in the eye in sincere thanks for such fine work.

Well done my friend.
R.

The interior designer’s assistant threatened to steal the rockers. They are in heavy rotation now. My wife says she needs somewhere to put her feet so I submitted an order form for a foot stool.

Hi Gary,

yes, it made it here safe and sound! and you are right, it is a bit unnerving to order something unseen. Frankly, we were slightly surprised by how large it is. However, it does not feel big when you sit in it — and it is so comfortable it is difficult to tell that it is made of hard wood! I love how comfortable it is, the nice craftsmanship, and knowing it is well built and will last many years (or generations…) to come.

Thank you again, and best to you all!
D.

Let me say that in addition to the great comfort and good construction, I am truly impressed by the attention to detail, such as the centering of grain pattern on the seat and back, and matching grain lines to neighboring wood pieces. Know that it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!

I love the chair, its great comfort, its beauty, and its fine craftsmanship. I hope to enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you to you and the team.

Best wishes,
D.

Hi Gary & Team,

Yes, our chair was delivered, and we absolutely love it. I’ve attached a picture of the chair in our nursery with some artwork that arrived with it- Thanks, Bela!

Just so you’re aware, the freight company never updated the tracking information nor did they contact us before delivery. I simply got a phone call from the driver when he was at my home and nobody was there to receive the chair. In this case, everything worked out fine, so no problem, but I thought you’d like to know.

Thanks again! We’re looking forward to rocking our new baby in another 6 weeks or so!
L.

Rocker, table and chairs are wonderful. Sometimes I just stop and grin at them, like a piece of art.

Run my hand over them, feel the thickness of that solid table top, the contours of the rocker arms. I appreciate things that are designed and made well. The pride shows through. That's what I like in my house.

Thanks.
J.

Hello,

Just a quick note that my rocker arrived today without any shipping damage.

First impression: Awesome!

Thank you,
D.S.

they are here and lovely… of course the kitchen isn't finished…but I can at least enjoy my bar stools.
J.

Gary,

The chair and footstool arrived yesterday and I think I'm in heaven -- haven't sat on the sofa once since it arrived!

The delivery company, XPO Logistics, was wonderful. Per your instructions, they called Monday to set up a delivery time window. Check the box for damage? It looked as if it had just been loaded on the truck, not a mark or speck of dirt anywhere. We have a steep driveway and the driver had to park up on the street. He kindly offered to unpack the chair and take away the box. Then he insisted on not only carrying it in, but completely helped me unwrap it:

I asked B. to try it and he couldn't imagine putting his feet up that high on a footstool until he did so. He was amazed at the back support...

I will not only use the chair but treasure it!

Thanks again,
P.

Hello Gary and company

Our two mahogany rockers just arrived. They are gorgeous and so comfortable! Gary and the team make exquisite rocking chairs. The design, the ergonomics, the material and the fit and finish are all first rate. Thank you so much! We will enjoy years of reading in your beautiful craftsman chairs.
B. and J.

Dear Gary,

What a beautiful piece of furniture. I am enjoying it very much and it is so comfortable.

Dear Gary,

The rocking chair arrived today and it's gorgeous! Thank you so much. The children in our community will have many years of use.

Gary

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you with feedback. The chairs are everything you promised and more! So comfortable and attractive, we couldn’t be happier. Please feel free to use me as a reference.

It’s been a pleasure working with you!

Best wishes and be well,
L.

Dear Gary,

Arrived! Unpacked!! Situated!!! My son enthusiastically and most carefully unwrapped the solid crate and placed my priceless possession in the den, its permanent home.

So I came home from work to pure delight. Perfection. Such exquisite craftsmanship!! The chair is even more beautiful than the pictures, with the wood patterns so cleverly assembled. The construction details are flawless. And the smoothness of the wood is simply incredible. This rocker will now provide decades of comfort and soothing pleasure, destined as the family heirloom.

I want to passionately thank you, Gary, for your truly personal and outstanding customer service. You never failed to provide information, honesty, and patience with my endless questions during countless communications throughout the whole process.

Too, I realize the whole team (including your gifted son Austin) participated in the rocker's creation. Thank you to everyone for your very professional work and care. Actually, the Gary Weeks' rocker is a masterpiece of furniture making. Made in America and so very proud of your company and MY new chair!

Most sincerely,
R.

Hi Gary,

My mom is loving the new rocker!

Cheers!
B.

Hello Gary,

Yes, the chair arrived yesterday, in excellent condition, and is fabulous. We couldn't be more pleased with the product, or with the process of working with you.

With gratitude to you & your colleagues -
Z.

Gary! We absolutely love the table and chairs.

N. and M.

Dear Gary and Autumn,

Just wanted to let you know that our new stool arrived last night. It's a beautiful addition to our collection and just the right size to allow three of us to sit together in the kitchen.

Thank you!
G. and A.

Thank you Autumn for my beautiful black walnut rocker. I absolutely love it, great workmanship.

R.

The footstool arrived this afternoon! T. was stunned, and so very happy to have it! He put it into immediate use as he was already sitting in the rocker. So comfortable!! It also looks absolutely wonderful with the rocker. We are both thrilled! So very grateful that you were able to fill my order in such a timely manner and managed to have the new footstool delivered in time for his birthday.

With appreciation,
K.

Hi Gary,

The rocker arrived Monday and I have it all set up in the nursery. It's so lovely and comfortable, thank you so much! I know we'll treasure it for many years.

Thanks,
A.

Hi Gary,

I wanted to email you to let you know how much I love the chair- it is so beautiful, it really took my breath away! The colors and grain of the mesquite are phenomenal. It's so comfortable to sit in, and I'm going to have such a great time reading in it. It almost glows in the light. I love my new chair!

Gratefully yours,
G.
