Yes, Gary! We received it and opened it this morning. It. Is. Beautiful! I had to sit in it just to see what all the fuss was about and he’s right, most comfortable chair ever. Everything about it is done right…down to the felt on the bottom so it isn’t scratching up a wood floor.
So yes, all is very very well and rocking. With one exception, I don’t have one of my own. Yet. 😊

Hi Autumn, Gary, and the whole team at Gary Weeks & Company,
We received our new rocker and footstool on Saturday. We could not be more pleased with it! It arrived in perfect condition, and if anything, was even nicer than we could have expected! It is simply gorgeous, and amazingly comfortable. We've only been able to show it off to our daughter so far, but she said the same thing we did when we saw it. WOW!
We are thrilled with the rocker and footstool, and very happy that we still have a full set of dining chairs to look forward to receiving. And my wife is very pleased with me for finding you and your company, and for convincing her that this was a wonderful idea.
Thank all of you for your work, craftsmanship and dedication. It shows in your product, and is something you can all be proud of, as we will be proud to show our rocker off to everyone!Best regards,
G. and K. NWoodcliffe Lake, New Jersey
I just got my cherry rocker, it arrived in perfect shape and I love it.
And I also like the art work inside the box…Niko, the unicorn with wings and some other pretty stuff.
You guys did great.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the follow-up. The chair was a surprise for my wife - she was very pleased that we can both have a sit-down on the porch in the evening while the weather is still nice up here.

Dear Gary,
We love the chair, the packaging, and service. We are already working on designing a table for you to make.

Hi Gary,
I did receive the rocking chair, just when you said it would come. And the delivery person was very pleasant and helpful. I rock in it almost every evening. It is my "let it be" chair.
It seems each time I sit in it I find something else to like about it. Just the other night I discovered if I turn a little and hang one leg over the arm I can use the edge of the back support slats and the rocking motion to massage my back. Aaah. I don't have any problems with my tailbone resting on the seat, which is a nice surprise. I especially like that the slats in the back leave a spot for my spine right in the middle, that there's room for me to tuck my feet underneath, and that it rocks pretty far without ever feeling unstable. And it's absolutely beautiful.
I almost hate to give any non-positive feedback, because it might make you think I enjoy my chair less or expect you to do anything about this stuff. But you seem like you might appreciate it... So this is just for your information; no need to respond.
- The bottom of the shipping box was very dirty - that black greasy dirt that sticks to things. If I had carpet instead of hardwood floors I would probably have had to clean the carpet afterwards.
- I find that resting my arms on the arm rests isn't all that comfortable. I'm not sure why. They feel a little too high and far away from my body. I am about average height for a woman (5'-7") but I think I have long arms for my height. And I'm on the slender side. In fact it's more comfortable for me to tuck my elbows through the back of the chair and put my hands on the seat next to my behind.
Last night my good friend M. came over and spent some time in the rocking chair. She's had a difficult few weeks and she really seemed to find the rocking chair soothing. She also thought it was beautiful.
Thank you for building such a functional and beautiful piece! It is a joy to have it in my life.
Thanks,
C.D.

I received my cherry rocking chair in perfect condition on July 24. It’s safely situated in my home and I absolutely love the chair. You have created a truly beautiful chair, elegant in its simplicity and quite graceful in appearance. I am delighted to have this hand-crafted rocker in my home. It is remarkably comfortable, and I look forward to many years of pleasurable use. So happy with it!
By the way, the packaging was amazing, perfect for making sure the rocker was not damaged.
Please give my thanks to the artisans who so lovingly created my lifetime chair.J.G.

Thanks for the follow-up. The chair was delivered on schedule and the shipper was extra helpful.
I love the chair and am sitting in it now as I write this. It’s in our sunroom.

Thanks for checking back with me. The rocker arrived beautifully (as I expected) and the pics show you how well it fits in our den. It met all my expectations—and the anticipation of its arrival gave me something to really look forward to. I loved thinking about how much care you and yours were taking with it.
Your company has been such a pleasure to work with—from the day we dropped by to the communication in between. I wish Daddy could see it—I’m sure he would be impressed and appreciative of the quality as I am. I sit in it everyday!
I will happily recommend you and your company to anyone who inquires.
Thanks so much.
Sincerely,

Hi Gary and your amazing team!!
The rocker has arrived and it is stunning. Dr. M., who is retiring, is out so we’ve only opened the top to sneak a peek! The shipping container is in wonderful shape so all is well!
Thank you again so much for knocking it out of the park!! We are so grateful for you, your team and the fabulous craftsmanship!!
In gratitude!

The "glorious" mahogany rocker and footstool arrived this morning. I want you and the rest of the "team" to know that I could not have given myself a better 72nd birthday present! These are truly amazing and functional pieces of art. Thank you all for bringing me such joy!

Mr. Weeks,
It was delivered. And it looks great! Very comfortable for the both of us and well look forward to using it for a long time. Just something to keep you informed about though, the shipper didn't get in touch with me until the day of delivery ..., but it happened to work out really well as I was home due to a rare work schedule change... again, worked out great for us and very happy with your company and service. Have a great day.

Autumn,
I want to let you know that the rocker arrived on Thursday in great condition and to thank the Gary Weeks Company for making such a fine piece of furniture, the craftsmanship is superb! The rocker is not only comfortable it is also a functional piece of art that will be handed down in my family for generations.
It was a true pleasure doing business with you and the Gary Weeks Company. You were helpful, gracious and you worked with me to take all the guess work out of buying the rocker both online and over the phone. It’s rare in this day and age to find a combination of a superior product, artisan workmanship and outstanding customer support!
My sincere thanks,
E.P.

Hi Gary
Your wonderful chairs did arrive on Tuesday. We are very happy with them. We can sit and rock and look at the picture of us rocking at Big Cedar in your chairs.
Have a blessed Easter Celebration and thank you for choosing to use your gift of craftsmanship and art.

Hi Gary!
I have been meaning to write to you since the chair arrived on Tuesday. My daughter-in-law texted me that it had arrived, and according to her text, she said "It's stunning! We love it and can't wait to use it!". My son also called and said "It's gorgeous! We love it soo much! I can't wait to test drive it with the little one when she arrives! Now all we need is the baby! And we love the "M" as well. It's a nice touch." Then he sent me a picture of it and it really is gorgeous. Thank you for all you did to make such a wonderful keepsake for my son and daughter-in-law. I still use the rocker my mother gave me when he was born 30 years ago, and it was factory-made and wasn't even as nice as the one you made! I know it will be a treasured heirloom for them. I will be sure to spread the word!

Thanks so much. Yes it is both a pleasure to view and comfort to sit. The chair is really beautiful. The workmanship is perfection. And I love the engraved Celtic cross.
I actually ordered this within a week of discovering I had an uncommon blood cancer, and was dealing with painful compression fractures in my spine. As a physician I knew I could expect some time following treatments when I would be especially uncomfortable. Rocking chairs have always been soothing and comforting for me, so I sought the best one I could find.
I found it on your website.
I am confident this beautiful walnut rocker will be a source of peace for me. I thank you for all the skill and attention that went into its creation.

Hi Gary!
Thank you for this kind note. The rocker validates all my expectations. But if I can’t find a decent footstool, I may have to come back to you!

Hello Gary-
I’ve been using the chair for a few weeks now and enjoy it more everyday. Your craftsmanship and attention to quality is unmatched. Thank you again for taking on the challenge. I’m honored to own such a work of art made by folks right here in Texas.

Hi Gary!
Thank YOU! My only complaint: my cats love your chairs as much as I do so I had to have a stare-down with one of the furballs this morning before I could sit down with my coffee :)
This outdoor rocker is everything I expected and worth every cent. Also cat-approved. Can't ask for more than that.
Have a great weekend -- and thanks to Austin and Autumn for their part as well!

Hello Gary!
Better get to work on the next one!
Ha! We are taking bets on if our next rocker will be for our 30th Anniversary or for one of our kids for the birth of their first child! Time will tell.
We love our rockers. Wish we could find some time to sit and rock a while.
Thanks!

Thank you Mr. Weeks. Everyone in the whole family has tried out the rockers, (we three grandchildren that liked to be rocked). They are everything that you promised. You must be very proud of your company. You are providing an example of service and quality that doesn’t exist much in the United States anymore.
All the Best,

Hi Gary,
We are so happy with our chairs, they are comfortable and beautiful!
Sorry we missed you, but had a nice visit with Austin.
Next time we re down in Wimberley we’ll have to make time it to see you.

Thank you for the lovely and very comfortable piece of art! I can’t seem to spend as much time rocking as I’d like to, but when I can’t stop and sit I can still admire it. I am a very happy customer!

Gary, we are very pleased with the new chair and footstool...My artistic wife said, “tell him the chair is beautiful..., a work of sculpture in wood”. And we are using the footstool with a $3000 Eames lounge chair. As for the 6+ year old rocker, this summer we loaded it into the back of our Audi, drove into Michigan to the house of a young nephew who just had his first child, a very large baby boy named H. He and his wife needed a rocker and they just loved this chair. We later heard they were inviting family members over to see the rocker, let alone the new baby!
Thanks from the whole family.

Good morning Gary,
Thank you for the kind words!
This may sound silly, but your furniture helps me relax (not something I am very proficient at!).
I dislike clutter and the beautiful lines of your pieces are just aesthetically perfect for me. The dining chairs are the most comfortable computer chairs I've ever owned (I can sit comfortably for hours in these chairs!).
I find the footstools for my rockers to be great seating -- and my cats love the curve of those and appropriate them when I rock. I never get to put my feet up -- those now belong to the purr-babies :)
I thought long and hard about investing in the small table and stools for my lanai -- but your furniture is worth every penny.
I really love having useful art :)

I have never been one to have a favorite chair. I drifted from chair to couch to chair my entire life. Until I got a Weeks chair. I don't know how a wooden, uncushioned chair can be this comfortable.

Good Morning Gary,
Yes, the Weeks Rocker and footstool arrived in good order. The cartage company altered delivery schedule to accommodate my wife being out of the house.
As it is a Christmas gift, I have them hidden away. Santa and I will bring it in the back door ‘round midnight on Christmas Eve. Can’t wait to give it a test drive.
Thank you for the excellent craftsmanship, communication and service.
Merry Christmas to the Weeks’ family and team!

Gary, Autumn and colleagues,
My rocker arrived and is gorgeous - I'm typing this as I sit comfortably in my chair.
A big thank you to the freight company, and in particular to their driver Justin. He parked his big rig a little over a half mile from my house and brought it the rest of the way pulling it and its pallet on a hand truck down our street.
Thanks to all at Gary Weeks and Company.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Roper, North Carolina
Thank you so much for your kind comments! You know we love our rocker and stool and we just wanted you to know, you make a difference in our lives. That rocker has two new puppies playing around it! I’ve moved it back to the bedroom until they get out of the chewing phase!
Warm Regards, And have a Merry Christmas!

Gary,
The rocker made it out to Santa Paula for our mom’s 80th BD celebration. It was a great surprise as J was able to take delivery and keep the crate secret until the party.
As always, your craftsmanship is superb and was well-received by the multiple generations represented at the occasion.
We hope to continue doing business with you and your well into the future.
Thanks again,
B. & K.H.

Good afternoon:
Yes. The chair arrived this week, and we have been using it. It is, of course, beautiful, and generally it meets all of our needs and expectations. As I told Austin when we talked, I was interested in a somewhat higher seat height, and we are evaluating that. I think it will be fine, and won’t know for a few more days. Back to you then.

Gary and Company,
The rocker arrived yesterday afternoon in perfect condition. I can't thank you all enough for your artistry and professionalism. It truly is the most comfortable chair that I have ever sat in and incredibly beautiful to look at. My back instantly felt comfort that I have not felt in years. From my first phone call to Gary to the arrival of the chair yesterday you guys have all been amazing. Thanks again for your beautiful work and increasing the quality of my life.
