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,

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.

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.

Autumn -

Chair just arrived. Great condition.

Super gorgeous hand work. You can feel the energy. Tell the team.

Gonna rock myself happy.

Peace,
T.

Howdy Gary,

Hoping all is well. Here’s my take on the rocker.

My solid cherry rocking chair arrived recently. Virtus Propter Se - Excellence or virtue for it’s own sake ! This is an art object of stunning beauty. Transcendental hand craft. Seemingly impossible? Except: there it is.

I’m a retired master carpenter living in a cabin in central Alaska. A custom rocker has been a long time desire. I’m a minimalist so I had to think carefully if this was the material possession to add to my small cabin. I’ve had a lifelong pursuit of high skill levels in a number of areas : virtuoso classical piano studies, degrees in classical piano and philosophy, 40 years of carpentry and woodworking, serious reading, long distance paddling, skiing, and backpacking, subsistence hunting and fishing, building a homestead, etc. I say all that to say - I’m a bit of a fanatic when it comes to skill and excellence! It takes a great deal to turn my head. My head has been turned. I’ve carefully scrutinized the rocker. It’s as close to perfection as any piece I’ve seen. Kind of spooky actually. The closest I’ve seen is a master wooden boat builder I knew when I lived in the Alaskan coastal village of Haines.

Gary,family and the entire group are extremely easy to work with. And lastly, although not cheap, the chair is very reasonably priced. Frankly, I don’t know how a product of this quality can be made for the price?

I’m already thinking I might need a straight chair at some point!

M. T.

Hi Gary,

We have a profound appreciation for the artistry that goes into the design and construction of your pieces. Your rocking chair brings a smile to my face every time I look at it. Our house has several family antique pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries, and I feel confident that your pieces will be part of the cherished family heirlooms we pass along to future generations.

Regards,
K.

Gary,
Just got the chair and it’s in perfect condition. I’m sitting in it right now and it is just as good as advertised. Please take the time to thank your crew for me and let them know I really appreciate the attention to detail they put into this chair. Attached are a few pictures of where she’ll be living and the view she’ll have for the next few years.

Sincerely,
D. B.

It sure is a beauty. Thank you and your workers.

J.L.

I can't tell you how he loved this chair. He was "blown away". He said "this is the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in." I know he will spend many happy moments in this chair reading. You are a blessing, and your talents are so very much appreciated. Thank you for making this happen today.

Hello Gary,

My wonderful rocker arrived yesterday afternoon in perfect condition delivered by a man with a truck wearing mask and gloves.

It is gorgeous, fits perfectly, and rocks like a dream. I am speechless to find the right words to express my delight and gratitude. I have been wanting a rocker for a long time and have test rocked dozens. All were wanting. This one is perfect. Thank you Gary Weeks and all your company.

M.

Hi Gary,

All arrived safely yesterday!!!!

The chair and table are stunningly beautiful!!! I find myself rocking in the chair (it's difficult to leave it) and admiring the table - the craftsmanship is outstanding.

Many thanks to you and the team - I'm sure we'll enjoy these pieces for many, many years and will send good thoughts to you all as we rock.

Best wishes,

P.

Well, it was a thrill to see you again after 30-plus years, even masked, however briefly. I was startled by how heavy that rocker was. ... The chair is very friendly to me; it "feels" more comfortable than the walnut rocker. I know the they are dimensionally identical, so that judgment is completely arbitrary. The mesquite rocker sits there glowing, as if it has batteries in it!

My "logical" rationale for having a second rocker is that now I can leave one to each of my two children. The truth, however, is that I WANTED a mesquite rocker. ...

BTW, you have created a wonderful website. I have learned so much from it about the various woods and how you make furniture. Thank you!

E.

Gary,

…Sometimes I am across the room from it and I just have to walk over, sit down, and rock for awhile. It feels good for my soul. I moved an old lamp away from it as it seemed to distract from the chair’s beauty. I love my new rocker. Many thanks to you and your team.

Take care,

K.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that K. received her Rocker yesterday. The piece was safely delivered and opened without incident (K. said the trucking company complemented the quality of the packing crate).

K. is absolutely thrilled with the finished product. She sent a number of pictures, and I have to say the workmanship on the piece is just fantastic. I just know that this gift will be well used and appreciated for many, many years.

Thank you and your team so much for putting together such a special piece of furniture. I have already hinted to my team that when I eventually retire, they will not go wrong if I happened to get a similar gift!

Best regards,

S.

Yes - J. and G. received them. They are very happy with them. J. told C. this morning that he spent an hour last night rocking and was just amazed at how comfortable it was. He also remarked on the swing and is definitely a very happy man.

Thank you so much, M.

Received my Walnut chair and stool. Was deciding between a recliner or rocker. I chose wisely. Bravo. Looks beautiful and fits perfectly. You folks are artisans.

R.

Gary

We LOVE the rocking chair and has already been put to good use! Austin was great in helping us pick out the perfect chair for us and provided excellent customer service. We hope to do more business with you in the future!

B & B

Hello Gary,

Everything looked terrific after getting them unpacked. We are enjoying the rocker! It has already become a popular seat at the puzzle table in the living room. The arm chairs are a big hit with my husband.

You and your family stay healthy!

Thank you again for designing and making these beautiful pieces.

J.

Gary –

The second rocking chair has landed. It was much appreciated by A. and noted to be very comfortable.

Thank you for everything.

Stay healthy.

Hi Gary

It is truly magnificent and has made isolation much more tolerable. It fits like a glove, is smooth as silk and everyday I appreciate another aspect of it.

Are you aware that when the headboard and arms are tapped with a finger they are tuned to a perfect B natural - no kidding.

Wishing you and yours well

M.

Hi Garry & Team,

The Rocker arrived today and is beautiful. He LOVES it Very happy customers :)

You guys were great to deal with. Kept the communication open and it was a lovely experience- thank you

L. & Birthday Boy R.
PS our little neighbours are have a great time with the shipping box- new fort!

We received it in good condition and I’ve been happily rocking for two evenings now. Thanks very much!

Regards,

R.J.H

Mr. Weeks,

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! 😊

Thank you!!!!!

L. H.

Hello! I am sitting in my newly delivered rocking chair and I could not be happier. Perfect! Thank you for the wonderful craftsmanship and the terrific service.

J.

Gary,

The chair was delivered today, in perfect condition, with the stool nestled inside. Great job packing the chair! And the cardboard we'll use as weed barrier under pine straw. The cardboard ought to work for years. It's good and thick.

We have a pair again, at last. And in time for our golden years. One delightful note is the degree that cherry darkens over time. Our old chair is 20 years darker. I know cherry does that, but will the new chair ever catch up--that is, does the darkening slow down? And may we both live to 90 to find out. For now, we have his and her chairs, with hers of course being the one I didn't destroy and replace.

A bow and hat tip to you and all your crew! Very, very well done! Y'all give life to these chairs--make them characters in our story. And that's rare, indeed.

Thank you so much.

J. A.
One more thing. The use of grain is masterful. I just love it.

Gary,

It’s absolutely beautiful, and so comfortable. I love just running my hands over the wood. I am glad my husband found your company on line. I will spread the word to my friends.

I hope you, your family, and your company stay healthy through the current crisis.

Many thanks,
A. L.

It showed up and looks great!! Unfortunately, with COVID-19 we have had to postpone the event, so we won't get his reaction for a while, but I am satisfied with the product we received. thanks!!

D.

for V.C.M.

Gary:

I love the chair & enjoy my morning tea & paper rocking away in peace & so far good health. Hope we all stay healthy & sane. We will visit again when we are allowed to roam free. Our best to your crew.

N.

Hi Gary,

We have definitely been using the rocker and loving it. It's my new morning spot for coffee and birdwatching.

L. L.

Garry Weeks and Co. –

The walnut rocker arrived in beautiful condition. Loving it. Thanks for all of the great work, care in packing, and great communication during the process.

Hi Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that the rocker has been delivered without a hitch.

This chair is truly impressive. It looks so beautiful and feels so comfortable and well made. And what I didn't expect is that it smells really good, too.

Thank you for such prompt, fantastic service and construction of such a quality heirloom. If you do this sort of thing... can you please let your staff know that we appreciate how much obvious care and craftsmanship went into this rocking chair for a faceless yet appreciative customer?

Have a great day,
H.

Hi again Gary-

Just a quick hello and thanks to you and you team for creating a beautiful piece of furniture. Today was my wife’s birthday and she extremely happy to finally be able to get to see and use her chair. Needless to say she loves it. She’s says it’s more beautiful then she imagined. Hopefully I’ll get chance to sit in it :)..Please extend our thanks to everyone involved.

Best regards,
G.

Hey folks,

I received the Cherry rocker yesterday. It came in a box that looked like it had never left your shop. The rocker is absolutely beautiful. It is, as you claim, the most comfortable chair I could hope for.

I do have one problem though, I can’t get my wife out of it.

We both love it.

Thank you so much!
D.

Thank you so much for your email and good wishes. Yes, the rocker has arrived and we are delighted with it. What a beautiful piece of furniture!We've already spent happy times using it, and look forward to many more. M. and R. H.

Gary,

I ordered one of your walnut rockers as a present for my wife for her 60th birthday. She's wanted a rocking chair for quite some time to rock our grandchildren. I can't tell you how happy she is with the chair.

It's more beautiful than I imagined and is extremely comfortable. Our 5'3" daughter and 6'2" son-in-law were there and we all tried it out. I don't know how you did it but everyone who sat in the chair felt it was designed for them. My wife also commented on how 'soft' the wood is because it's so smooth. Never thought I would hear wood described as soft. It's really hard to walk past the chair and not sit down in it and relax for a while.

The service you provide is also top notch and something I really appreciate. You and Austin were very responsive, even though it was during the Christmas holiday. There was great communication throughout the ordering and shipping process. Even Mainfreight, the company you use to ship the chair, provided outstanding service.

It was really a pleasure doing business with your company. Please provide thanks to everyone!

Regards,
C.
 

Gary,

Everything is great. They arrived in good order and we are already enjoying them. Thank you for your excellent work.

B. B.

Thanks Gary,

I am rocking C. G. right now in your beautiful Cherry rocker.

Blessings
K.

Good morning!

We received the rocker yesterday in perfect condition!

Thank you again. It is beautiful.

D. H.

The chair is beautiful, Gary. We are thrilled with the outcome and are glad we waited for the mesquite. After 30 years (since we first met you at Whit Hanks) we can finally say we have the chair of our dreams.

Thank you and happy new year,
A. E.

Dear Gary,

Thank you so much for your kind words.

The rocker came in time, even more beautiful than I imagined. I've been longing for a real rocking chair since my early childhood and you and your company and your craftsmanship have really made my dream come true and made me happy. And it has arrived just on time for the holiday season!

Happy holidays and the most successful new year!

T. S.

We received it. Open it tonite and had 4 generations rocking in ur chair. Fantastic !

W. S.

Hi Gary,

Thank you so much for the heartwarming message. We love the chair already and have both already dozed off in it. We will be sure to send you some photos and a testimonial once our little guy is here. We wanted something that we could pass on to future generations and I'm sure he'll love the chair as much as we do.

Happy holidays to you, your family, and everyone else at the company.

Thank you again,

L. T.

Good evening Gary and Austin
Thanks so much for my awesome chair! I look forward to many years of joy putting it to good use at the lake. I’d like to order another to match. No rush as E. said the particular wood is not something always in stock. When you get ready to work on it, let me know. I may change the inlay on it.Again thanks for sharing your gifts and talents in such a cool way!
S.S.

The photos did not prepare me for how good this chair looks and feels in real life. Stunning, exquisite. Everything is first rate, from the immaculate packing and shipping to the museum-quality chair (it really is art). Those things would be meaningless, though, if it wasn’t comfortable and sturdy, you know, like good furniture. It is. (Cherry was a good choice, too; warm & friendly like a Golden Retriever.)

All in all, some very fine work from the people at Gary Weeks!

Thank you,
B.

Hi Gary,

Hope you, your family and staff are in good health and happy in your work.

It is a small world. Last summer found me in Las Vegas attending the Wood Industry convention sourcing additional c-n-c equipment. During a seminar debating implementing or not implementing automation and the fabricating preferences of craftsmen I heard your name and business coincidentally referenced. All I can says is that your work was highly spoken of among your peers… I would conclude you are famous for your craftsmanship… and would agree.

Back to A., believe me I am equally glad to have acquired one of these unique rockers!The beautiful wood and the chair’s lines are absolutely gorgeous.The chair’s design is the most comfortable in our entire home.I’ll enjoy it again tonight.

Sincerely
R. C.
