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.

G.P.

The chair arrived yesterday and we could not be more delighted with it.

J.C.

Gary,

The rocker and table are beautiful. Thank you.

G.B.

Love the side table.

Merry Christmas

H.M.

Gary,

Thanks for the follow up. Yes, we did receive the chair in perfect form. Our little one took an instant liking to it.

E.L.

Gary,

The rocker arrived and they love it, sending a picture of our daughter rocking!

Their baby is due on March 8 and I’m excited to rock him or her myself.

Merry Christmas!

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!

W.D.

Gary,

The table arrived today in excellent condition and looks great! Nice job on the PowerCat inlay.

Merry Christmas,

S.Z.

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.

Dear Gary and all,

Yes the chairs arrived in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. They are beautiful. B is so happy to have them. The entire family marveled at the beauty of your workmanship, the gorgeous deep color of the walnut and the comfortable seat and arms. Another triumph! Thank you and keep up the good work!

E.M.

Gary et al,

Thank you!

One more of your pieces with which to rhyme the tick of time.

Rocking on....

Peace and prosperity to you all.

N. & B.Z.

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.

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!

R. & D.W.

Hi Gary, the table is beautiful and a wonderful addition to my office. My family loved your shop and was impressed by the equipment you made yourself. I’m sorry I was delayed and missed it.

Thank you,

R.M.

We continue to enjoy the custom walnut dining table and chairs your firm created and delivered two years ago. Over last week's Thanksgiving holiday weekend the table extended from square to long to medium and back to its usual square configuration. The most significant compliment to the set, even more important than its beautiful wood, is that friends and family lingered at the table talking after meals instead of heading immediately to the sofas and recliners. Truly comfortable chairs!

Thanks,
L.L.M.

Hi Gary and team,

Just writing to say thank you for the stunningly gorgeous table and chairs! They are absolutely perfect.

It was worth the wait living on Ikea furniture and hand-me-downs for many years until we could finally acquire our first real "adult" dining room furniture.

I had a friend come over to receive the delivery with me, and she could not get over the incredible lumbar support in the chairs. (I was of course already accustomed to it from my parents' furniture!)

Thank you for your wonderful craftsmanship and your attentiveness throughout the process! We will of course highly recommend your work to anyone we know who wants the highest quality wood furniture!

-M.M. & A.M.

The rocking chair and stool were delivered yesterday evening. They look great!

J.A.

Gary and Autumn,

Very pleased to present your rocker to my daughter expecting twins. She kept commenting on the comfort and craftsmanship of the rocker. I was proud to have found such a nice piece.

J.Y.

Gary,

Thanks. It arrived safe and sound. I’m looking forward to giving it to her next weekend. I love telling the story of our meeting and your success on the internet. Say “hi” to Autumn for me. All the best. Picture when the twins arrive.

J.Y.

Thank you for checking, it did arrive, looks great. We are bringing to my son and daughter in law this weekend.

J.K.

Gary,

I echo your sentiments! My late response is not an accurate indication of intention. In fact, I have been waiting a few weeks for a book to arrive so I could send it along to you. It finally arrived yesterday and, as of this morning, is on its way to you. I'm hoping you don't already own a copy but, if you do, its a great book to pass along to like-minded friends. I look forward to taking you up on your coffee shop invitation with some time to discuss the book!

The table is beautiful and was put to work immediately upon unpacking. I'm quite proud of the modest, but growing, collection of Weeks furniture in the house. A rocking chair with stool and a few side tables is a good seed crop!

I hope you are all fairing well with all of this rain. If I can ever be of service, I trust that you will call. Have chainsaw, will travel.

Your friend,

S.C.

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.

T.K.

Gary,

The chair arrived in perfect shape and we are both enjoying it every day.

Thanks so much,

J.H.

Hello Gary,

Thank-you for you kind note. I’m delighted with the desk chair as is super comfortable and beautiful as well.

I’m sure someday, I’ll ask for something again.

P.D.

Hi Gary and Autumn -

I wanted to tell you how beautiful and stunning your cherry footstool is! Wow!
I use it back and forth with a large maple chair that was my dad's and a newer Ethan Allen chair I gave my mom when she turned 90!
It is the perfect size and color. Sometimes I sit on it in the mornings to put my shoes on before I go to work! So glad I found you!
Again - such a beautiful piece of furniture!
Many thanks,

J. in Virginia W.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for the note. The chair was delivered on Monday without any issue. My wife and I could not be happier with it! The chair puts to rest my preconceived notion that cushioned furniture is by definition more comfortable than wooden furniture. While our current apartment does not have sufficient space, I look forward to the day we can order a dining room table and chairs from your shop!

Thanks again,

S.W.

Dear Gary,

Thirty years ago my wife Judith purchased a maple rocker from you for my birthday. Today it looks the same as when it was packaged and delivered to us. I really have not done anything to it except wipe it clean from time to time. The natural oils from my arms have assisted in keeping it’s natural beauty. It has always been a perfect fit ergonomically and is a joy to sit in and read. The chair has moved with us to the Middle East, Los Angeles (Woodland Hills), Washington DC and twice to Austin.

Thank you for your craftsmanship and care.

S.W.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for touching base. And thanks for the desk, stool and cabinet that are changing my life, for the better. Enjoy your trip.

J.B.

My rocker is absolutely gorgeous and extremely comfortable.

P.S.

Hi, Gary,

Yes, the chair came last Friday, right on time. I’m completely delighted with it! It is beautiful, and so very comfortable. My friends all want to sit there when they visit.

K.E.

Gary,

It is delivered and my house sitter says it’s beautiful. I’ll be back in town and can’t wait to see it.

Thanks very much.

R.F.

Thanks, Gary. I enjoy this chair and footstool more every day. What a simple, well-made pleasure!

D.O.

Hi Gary,

The desk and barstools are gorgeous. They add such beauty to our home and life. Thank you again for everything. I look forward to seeing you at the Barn dance!

H.R.A.

Gary – thanks for your note. The rocker is setup in the main bedroom and we have already gotten great use out of it. It’s the most comfortable seat in the house!

R.M.

Gary,

I got your stool late last week and just wanted to say thank you again. It is beautiful and the wife loves it. If you’re ever in College Station let me know and I’ll meet you at the Chicken for a round of 42.

Thanks,

D.D.

Thank you Gary, very happy about the entire transaction.

T.R.P.

The chair is certainly beautiful and comfortable.

C.K.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for writing. I was just showing them off to some friends yesterday. They’re beautiful, comfortable and unique.

B.L.

Gary,

My mom was beyond thrilled with the beautiful walnut rocker! The rocker sits proudly in the library by the fireplace-just like when she was growing up. Many years of comfort and gentle to and fro await her. Thank you for making her day extra special for us with something handcrafted with love.

K.A.

Solid pick on the footstool! The grain on it is really cool, and I like how the “swirl” pattern was laid out.

M.B.

Gary and all of your helpers,

Thank you for the beautiful rocking chair and footstool. It is gorgeous and very comfortable. Oh so lovely.

Thank you,

S.A.

Rocker was delivered 08-08 in excellent condition. I've been enjoying its beauty and comfort ever since.

J.M.

Gary,

Dave received the rocker on Tuesday and is very happy with it. It is a perfect fit for the room.

Thanks for your excellent craftsmanship; it's hard to believe that it's been over twenty years since we visited your shop in Texas.

Best regards,

--S.G.

We love the rocker! The cherry wood is a perfect color. The finish is so smooth, even in underneath areas! You obviously take a lot of pride in making your furniture.

J. & P.W.

Dear Gary, Austin, and Autumn,

The three pieces arrived today, carefully carried into the space by Plycon’s delivery folk. No damage of any sort, just a little tape residue here and there which comes off with a microfiber cloth.

And the pieces are beautiful. The photos on the web site made me confident, as did the explanations of how the designs came to be and were executed, but pictures just can’t capture what you have made for us. We’re particularly struck by the quiet elegance, the subtle detail, the way that all the furniture somehow combines a sort of humility and practicality with sheer beauty. And of course the craftsmanship is superb.

We’ve looked at lots of rockers over the years (Portland is that kind of town), but never found anything that seemed right, shaped to the body, friendly to the eye, confident in its own place in the world but not trying to make a statement. And the desk and accompanying chair are worthy kin.

We feel very lucky to have found your work, and are grateful to all who have put their hands to this project.

Best wishes,

R.K.

Gary. She loves the chair and I continue to be impressed with your craftsmanship.

C.R.

Hi Gary,

It was a real treat visiting with Autumn as well... really enjoy the chair… It is in fact one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever been in…

Beautiful as well.

Wish you all the best of luck!

A.P.

Even the animals know comfort when they feel it. Our new kitten has claimed her new favorite spot!!
