Hi Gary,

I hope this finds you and family well!

Having some of your furniture over here continues to be a daily delight. Less than Zero buyer's remorse.
I still can't believe how great living with a few of your team's creations has been.

Kind regards,
B.M.

Our beautiful cherry rocker just arrived Monday morning. I did not get an advance call for 4 hour window so I'm very glad I was home when the driver called to say he would be here in an hour! It was actually perfect timing since the sun is shining right now in Annapolis. We are in a period of expected 10 days of rain so I have been worrying about a possible delivery in a downpour.

Our grandchild was "due" on the 21st so we've been wondering which would come first, the baby or the rocker . You won!

Thank you for being so kind. We look forward to many hours of cuddling our first grandchild in the wonderful rocker. I love handmade things — I'm a pottery student — so appreciate all the attention to details in your work.

A.M.

Gary — Great to hear from you. Please do use the Elkhorn, NE address. Everyone absolutely loves their cherry rocker, including K and I. We're certain that #5 will be no exception. Still working on #10 being free, but may take a lifetime. In all seriousness, thanks for all you do.

B.H. & K.H.

Hi Gary,

The chairs arrived and they are beautiful. The darker eastern walnut compliments the lighter western walnut of our dining table. The chairs are beautifully made and are gorgeous to the touch. Thank you.

B.S.

Gary — very nice to hear from you as always. I was delayed in responding, because we spent the past week on grandparenting duty in Philadelphia, taking care of our 10-month-old granddaughter while our daughter and son-in-law were out of town. I can tell you that the rocker and table that you made for our daughter look great and are very well used!

We and our friends and family are enjoying all of our white Gary Weeks porch rockers as well — although we have had some hot spells, the difference between here and Texas is that the hot spells are broken up by cool spells. It was 55 degrees when we got up this morning, and the high today will be 80 degrees — we drank coffee and read the paper in two of your rockers on our porch, and I suspect that we will will spend more time in them later today as well.

Glad to hear that you have been able to spend time with your grandchildren as well — that's really what it's all about.

Enjoy the rest of the summer, and best wishes for continued success in the business (and for its founder to have time to get away as well).

Best.
J.B.

Gary,

Thank you for the follow up. Yes, the chair and foot stool arrived yesterday morning. It is beautiful and appears to be in excellent shape! The engraving is perfect.

Thanks and Happy 4th,
S.Z.

Thank you Gary. After a painful injury and surgery five years ago, I had been unable to find a chair in which I could sit comfortably. Your rocker fixed this problem — I was able to feed my grandson this morning without pain.

I suspect this will not be my last Gary Weeks rocker.

Many thx.
R.H.

Gary,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful note. We also have been traveling, hence the rather late acknowledgement of how thrilled we are with our new rocker. It is so beautiful, a real work of art. And more important it is equally comfortable for myself (5'2") and my husband (6'1"). Would not have believed that to be possible. We are so happy with our chair, thanks again.

Appreciatively,
P.F.

Thank you for checking in! We're really pleased with the chairs — they truly are comfortable and are beautiful to the eye and to the hand.

Best wishes to you and all your staff--
J.W.

Dear Gary,

I appreciated finding such a company as yours in the town I grew up in. The chair arrived timely, the day before our first of twins was discharged from the NICU. With twins we justified having two chairs. My wife has a fancy glider with cushions and I prefer my walnut rocker. It was a splurge but I tried to make one and it was taking too long!

Thank you,
D.S.

Hi Gary,

My enthusiasm is borrowed from my dad, who owns two of your rockers and is a little obsessed. :) My parents have a kitchen table and chairs from you too. He's been singing your praises for years, and I'm glad we can finally lay claim to our own Gary Weeks furniture!

Thank you!

M.M.

Gary:

I just wanted to let you know how much we love our new table. It's gorgeous! The craftsmanship of you and your crew is really evident in its design, construction, and finish. I always admire and even envy really good craftsmen. With one leaf in the table its size is perfect for the two of use, and, with three leafs in, the rounded corner design makes is so we can easily seat ten. I am amazed how stable and sturdy the central pedestal design is even when expanded to its maximum. I could go on, but suffice it to say E and I think the table is beautiful. We really appreciate your great work.

D.M.

I have the privilege of owning a 2003 model rocking chair. I love it still.

Sincerely,
T.M.

Hi Autumn!!

It was great to meet you and thank you for hand delivering the chair! G loves it . . . We went inside and she cried . . . it was something she's wanted for a long time!!

She loves it!

Thank you and the Weeks family!

Take care

M.A.

We absolutely love them! Thanks!

D.E.

It arrived intact and is beautiful, thank you!

S.P.

Gary,

They received it and love it!! Thanks so much for your excellent craftsmanship and phenomenal customer service!!

Best,
E.J.

Hi Gary,

I just rocked my daughter, L, to sleep on your chair. Me, T and L love it and everyone that's seen it has asked where we got it from. Also, the plaque came in the mail today. Looks great and thanks for sending it to us.

N.S.

Gary,

Everything from start to finish was amazing. The people working with you take pride in every aspect of work being done for your customers. The chair is perfect and my family will enjoy it for generations. Please thank your team for me.

Thank you.

K.F.

Gary

Thanks for the follow up email Gary — that is not necessary, but very much welcome and is an excellent display of customer service and satisfaction!

Jealous of your Italian sojourn, I am sure you returned well rested and well fed!

Regarding the rocker: yes — we very much realize now that the value in the piece is frankly lower than the asking price (while also recognizing that the true value would put the rocker out of our reach . . . so we've both come to appreciate your pricing!).

The only problem is that S now claims the rocker as her exclusive domain. Whereas we used to read nighttime stories together while rocking, I'm now relegated to an adjacent seat while S gets to rock comfortably by herself as she listens to the story! I guess it is her chair, ultimately, but I can't say I appreciate being kicked out of it! LOL.

Thanks again for the kind note! Until next time! (we've had our eye on your bar stools for a while now, and are waiting for some cash to free up)

J.J.

Gary,

I apologize for not responding the day my rocking chair, stool and table arrived (That day I wrote my feelings on a sticky note and stuck the note to my office phone. They exceeded all my expectations. They are beautiful, comfortable and have a quality that evokes feelings of harmony and peace within me. Plus, I love to sit in the chair, put my feet on the stool take a book from the table and read. In short you all have made me very happy. Thanks to all of you. It will all be used, but reverently.

Italy sounds great. A few years ago, J. and I spent a couple of weeks at Montestigliano, wonderful olive farm/villa 12 miles outside Siena. Hadn't been in Italy since '68 when I rode a Vespa all through Rome. Glad you got away and to such a special place. Curious to see if there is a Renaissance touch to future furniture.

Thanks again I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the process and love the result. I am bragging about "Gary Weeks and Company Furniture Makers" to everyone.

G.H.

Gary

They turned out beautiful and A. and C. are thrilled to be part of The Weeks family now.

Thanks for your dedication to the craft. There are not many of us left!

Respectfully

B.F.

Hi Gary and Austin,

We have so much enjoyed our lovely rocker that somehow we managed to ship down to St John USVI in 2011.

You may have heard that St John took a direct hit last September from a Category 5 hurricane. Winds in our hill were clocked at 280 mph, when the machine measuring them broke. It was followed 2 weeks later by another Category 5 (Maria) which devastated Puerto Rico and thoroughly soaked whatever was left on St John. We lost our roof, our wooden decks, and most of our wooden furniture from moisture and mold, but . . . . MIRACULOUSLY, not our rocker! It is virtually the only wooden piece left, and we treasure it all the more.

Best,
J.M.

Dear Autumn,

My rocker and stool arrived yesterday in perfect condition.

I just wanted to tell you and Gary and whoever worked on these beautiful pieces how exquisite they are — perfectly stunning. The comfortable design, incredible craft, gorgeous use of the wood — they are works of art.

I may have mentioned that I am an amateur woodworker and while I'll never make a piece like these, my appreciation runs deep. When my daughter has children I hope she'll nurse them in this rocker. Or maybe I'll have to get her one for herself since I may not be willing to share.

Thank you, and all best wishes for your success,

R.M.

Hi Gary and Autumn

We received our rocking chairs on April 12th!!! Everything in perfect condition. They are so beautiful, elegant, simple and soooo comfortable, we love them!!! We have been really looking them over and are in awe at the beauty of the wood and the craftsmanship. They are first class all the way. Thank You so much! We sit in them every morning and early evening and in between too :) Oh, and we either look out the windows on the little Salmon River (maybe we see a bear or moose or eagle or Spring happening) or are sitting enjoying the fire in the woodstove. Perfect!

Best Regards
L.N. and J.N.

Hi Gary,

Our barstools arrived in perfect condition and are absolutely beautiful. You and the team did a wonderful job. We couldn't be more happy with the level of craftsmanship and professionalism. Thank you very much for all of your effort.

Best Regards,
M.W.

Gary et al.

The table and chairs were delivered today in perfect condition. And they're even nicer than I expected. Thanks so much for your fine workmanship.

Best wishes,

L.H.

Good afternoon! Am in receipt of two more gorgeous chairs. Thank you so very much for such sensationally sweet furniture. Will send pictures once all is done, hopefully next week.

Well Wishes,
M.M.

Hi Autumn,

I just wanted to let you know that we received our Cherry Rocker today and my husband and I are completely thrilled!! The color is gorgeous, it's so comfortable and the workmanship and care your team has taken in crafting it is evident throughout. I'm just imagining the hours we'll spend rocking our little girl (who is due in 4 weeks!) in the years to come. It's a piece we'll treasure forever — thank you so much!!

I'm also going to pass along to my parents, my wish to have one of the Harris Stools for my birthday too.
If you hear from C.R. in the near future, that's us!!

I hope you have a great evening. Please let your crew know how wonderful their work is!

A.K.

Our barstools arrived yesterday by FedEx as scheduled and in perfect condition . . . well done! They are beautiful, comfortable and lovely to the touch. You have mastered every facet of your business, it is such a pleasure to work with all of you.

Now we will settle back and enjoy this new addition to our home. Thank you for another delightful experience with Gary Weeks & Co.

Warmest regards,
P.C. & S.C.

Gary,

It went well and it was nice to have the custom delivery. The chair is absolutely beautiful and we love the tiger stripe on the surface of the wood. I hope that it keeps that trait as it ages.

I hope to buy two or three more from you in the next 10 years as my sons get married and have children but we will see!

I hope to see you in July.

Take care!
B.F.

And I now have 2! Just received the 2nd as part of your anniversary sale. Great chairs, thank you.

J.K.

Austin,

Here are the chairs at HOME. Will enjoy these guys the rest of my life. Thank you and your staff for doing an excellent job.

L.S.

Gary, I can't express my gratitude in letting us stop by your shop to meet you and enjoy a tour!!! Please tell Will we enjoyed meeting him and the tour extensively!!!
Your shop's craftsmanship is impeccable!!!!
You are definitely a mentor for me, as I'm sure you are for many others. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

Take care!!!,
D.B.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for the kind note. Our experience with your company has been great. Autumn did a wonderful job answering all of our questions and building that confidence, plus I really appreciated the ease of paying online with PayPal.

The chair your team designed and built is perfect for us; which is impressive as I am 6'5" and my spouse is barely 5'. Its arrival in our home has created a new house rule: "You move your feet, you loose your seat". If someone gets up from the chair, someone else will instantly sit in it.

We look forward to many more purchases from your company!

Best,
D.G. & M.G.

Hi Gary,

My parents gave me the Weeks Rocker in pecan in 1995 to celebrate the birth of our first child. Many hours have been spent in that chair reading and dozing a little too! I believe my parents (who live in Fort Worth) came upon your rockers at a bed and breakfast — and hunted you down to place the order.

That rocking chair has moved from Tennesee to Virginia to Florida to Washington State to North Carolina and now resides in Colorado! It has truly traveled coast to coast rocking kids of all ages!

We were thrilled to find you on the Internet — still making the same rocker! We wouldn't change a thing! It is our pleasure to give one to our daughter, B. and her husband to celebrate the same event!

Thank you for your commitment to craftmanship — it is well worth the effort!

My walnut rocking chair has been delivered and I am sitting in it as I type this. I love how the back slats conform to my old back and I enjoy rocking away. The workmanship is outstanding. Haven't found one rough spot on it. My husband, a very critical furniture person, cannot find anything negative to say about it. He loves the walnut as do I. I do believe this is now a family heirloom. My husband thinks he might want one but he has a little difficulty standing up from it. He has had knee surgery recently, so I think that might be the problem. My only question now, do I need to keep it oiled down or polished? Even the delivery man was oohing and aahing over it as he helped me take it out of the packing.

R.H.

Gary

The walnut rocker is every thing we expected to be and sure to become a family heirloom for my son and his family, just like the one for my daughters family.

T.H.

We are really enjoying the rocker. It's a work of art made by true artists. We are happy to support a local company like yours.

J.T. & D.T.

Gary,

We are thankful that craftsmen and women like your company's make such high quality functional works of art. Our two walnut rockers, a small end table, and a small foot stool from your company are pieces of furniture we cherish and will use with pleasure. They will ultimately be family heirlooms to pass on to our sons' families.

Your employee, Autumn, who delivered the rocker a few weeks ago, is one dedicated employee to have driven from Wimberly to Kingwood and back to very carefully deliver our second rocker. Thank her for so carefully getting the chair to us.

Best Regards,
M.M. & M.M.

rocker and stool unveiled: stunning! Thank you! True works of art.

C.D.P.

Hi Gary,

Each of my two daughters has one of your rockers and loves it. Unfortunately, I only have two. ;) I do have a son so there is hope for yet another wedding gift.

My husband of 36 years and the love of my life just passed away. The kids and I are all together this week. Within one hour of our getting all together your loved rockers were part of our conversation. Perhaps one day I will have to buy one for myself. (I was secretly hoping to win one. Lol!)

Thank you.

R.D.

Gary, hi. This message is a bit delayed. Yes, we did receive the rocking chair. It arrived in good condition. It looks great in our home and it is a comfortable to both my wife and I. The few people we have shown it to so far also have been impressed by its form — It really is a great looking chair. We're happy with our purchase and excited that we didn't have to wait 3 months to get it (though we're not sure why the folks down in So. Cal. passed on it).

Next time we're down in Austin maybe we'll work out a way to come by and see your shop. I'd be excited to see it. Will check in on the website from time to time to see if you post anything new from time to time and to see how you update the site in the near future as you mentioned wanting to pursue when we talked a few weeks back.

Thank you.

W.P.

Gary

Thank you for your email. I purchased these rockers to give to two men who have worked for my company for over 30 years. They were not Rolex guys. I had some custom boots made for them and we gave them these rocking chairs. I wanted something unique. Your rockers were perfect. Thank you.

N.S.

I must send you a picture of some of the grandchildren sitting in the rocker. These beautiful art pieces brought great joy and will be cherished for many years to come. We so enjoyed sitting in our rockers in front of the fireplace during those cold days, and we probably will enjoy them again tonight. It is such a pleasure doing business with you. You are a true delight. Also, Autumn has helped us out a lot as well. Thank you for being on this earth and sharing your beauty with us.

P.R. & J.D.

Hi Gary: The Curly Maple is just totally fabulous!! T. and I chose wisely. Thanks to everyone at Gary Weeks for creating such a beautiful and unique work of art!!

Awesome!!

Hi,

Yes the rocker arrived. It is beautiful and my husband enjoys it! Thank you so much for your time. I know we will have lots of memories around the rocking chair.

Blessings,
L.K.

Gary

Yes it arrived in perfect condition just before leaving for Houston. Looking forward to sitting in it inside the house. I'm sure we will enjoy it as much as the ones we have on the porch.

Merry Christmas
D.T.

Mr. Weeks,

I am in receipt of the rocker and it is beautiful.Thanks for such great customer service.

Sincerely,
D.P.

Sorry you are beating me to the punch, Gary. I meant to contact Autumn on Tuesday when the rocker arrived. It is absolutely beautiful and unbelievably comfortable. I couldn't be happier with it! My grandson is coming over for the first time today so we will rock in peace together.

Thank you for your excellent work. Keep it up! I will spread the word about you guys.

Merry Christmas to you and all there.

M.S . & S.S.
