Hello Gary, indeed, both chairs were delivered in perfect condition. Moreover, I am VERY pleased. I haven't been this comfortable sitting for as long as I can remember.

I have since shared links to your website with friends who I think might be interested.

Thank you so much Gary Weeks and Company!

Sincerely,
C. S.

It arrived and is beautiful!

Hi Gary,

The rocking chair arrived today, in perfect condition. It is beautiful. Thank you.

B. T.

Gary, The chair is indeed here. I have gone from a couch potato to a rocking chair tomato. Not only is it more comfortable than I expected (and I expected a lot considering your guarantee) but it is even more beautiful than its picture. Sometimes I have to decide whether to sit in it or look at it.

Peace,
J. H.

Thank you for opening up your shop and showroom to us last Friday the 24th. We very much appreciated seeing the process of your fine furniture making. My brothers and I get together once a year and visit a workshop of a master craftsman. You could call us wood enthusiasts and avid woodworkers and have an appreciation for skills such as yours.

Last year we visited the legendary Sam Malouf's' showroom and shop in California. Mr. Malouf's work sets the gold standard for beauty and honoring the wood. The Gary Weeks furniture is equally spectacular. There are a few dramatic differences though. The Malouf rocker has graceful, fluid joints with a lounge–like sloping back but joints connecting lower legs to rocker were weak and some were cracking from the stresses of use. The Gary Weeks rocker by contrast had a more substantial joint design at the rocker and leg and was designed to be rocked in. We saw no evidence of joint stress in the Gary Weeks chairs or rockers. While the Malouf rockers are masterful works of art, the Gary Weeks rockers are masterpieces meant for everyday use and enjoyment.

Thank you, it was an honor to meet you and see your work.

Hi Gary,

I returned home last night from my trip and found a most luminous work of art shining in my library. In the low light of my library the chair glowed. It is incredibly beautiful wood and the matching of grains is stunning. Many thanks for this beautiful work of art. You are an artist of the highest order.

Gary,

Hello . . . And thank you. It's been good to work with you as well. I appreciate your understanding on the quantity adjustments as needs changed. I'm just thinking how to sum up what can be said about the rockers . . . they're just wonderful. You and yours are obviously very skilled at what you do. What a great way to honor Wyffels' retirees.

Wishing you a fine spring!

G. S.

Thank you so much! I had the pleasure of experiencing one of your rockers a couple of years ago at the Big Cedar lodge at Branson, Mo. I have wanted one ever since. I am so excited!

Warmly,

B. G.

Gary,

My purchase of your rocking chair and matching stool has given me great pleasure. My sister and her husband were very impressed by the chair when they visited me recently. I thought of giving them their stool and checked with them to be sure they would like to have one and they were very happy about that.

Thank you.
B. B.

Gary,

Thanks so much for the note. We are loving the chair. It's so comfortable.
The wood pattern is so beautiful, it is truly a work of art.
Attached are the pictures we took.

Take care.
T. R.

Gary,

It did arrive and it is beautiful and wonderful! We love it so far.
Can't wait to rock our baby in it.
Thank you!

M.S.

Hi Gary,

The chair and the rocker are amazing. We look forward to enjoying them for many years to come. Thanks.

H. P.

Gary,

B.'s son and I opened the carton and bubble wrap today just enough to see the inlay. Even though we had your photo, we couldn't wait any longer to see the real thing. Just wanted to tell you how much we like what we saw! So glad to have the opportunity to do this extra customization to make an awesome chair even more meaningful for A., B. and S.. Thanks, much.

G. S.

Gary,

I hope you and your family had a nice Christmas and are enjoying the new year. As promised, attached are photos of my grandchildren and me in the rocking chair. During the first weekend we had the rocking chair, I think my granddaughter spent more time in it than I did!

Everyone who has visited our home and seen the rocking chair thinks it is beautiful and comfortable. When I hosted Bible Study a few weeks ago, all the ladies had to try it out :)

I am really enjoying the rocking chair — it fits me well and is very comfortable. And beautiful! I really enjoy having it in my home.

Thank you again!
D. T.

Gary,

Thank you for the wonderful and well crafted rocker. It arrived with no damage and the color and wood is even better than the very nice photos online.
Thank you for your fine craftsmanship and excellent customer service.

Cheers,
C. S.

Greetings from El Paso,

Thanks for your message. Photos of the rocker (#667 2001) are attached. It is still in great shape, and one of our favorite things.
Regarding the bar stools, we measured, and a height of 29" would be optimal if you can make that adjustment to our order.
It was great to visit your studio and shop — a real treat! M. and I very much appreciated Austin's assistance (and patience) as we foundered about and eventually selected the stools.

R.B.

The rocking chairs are absolutely beautiful. Right now, we have them in front of our fireplace here in Fort Worth, but we will retire soon and move them to the bay window at our lake house in Granbury. We'll rock and watch the ducks play — Nice work, if you can get it! And yes, we'll do some grandbaby rocking, that's for sure!

Thank you for your artistry!

D.P.

Gary,

So very sorry for the late response . . .

Of course the minute he sat in the chair, he loved it. That same evening he fell asleep in it by the fire, so yes, we will be keeping it. It is a beautiful addition to our retirement home and I'm sure he will enjoy it for many years.

Thank you for your offer to reimburse the shipping. I haven't even had time to check my credit card, but if you haven't already done so, you can just credit the card.

Wishing you the best in 2017, health, happiness and many blessings.

Thank you,
C.W.

Gary,

P. LOVES the rocking chair! We were at the Gumbert's yesterday and saw a well worn chair just like P.'s new one. Just beautiful! We are very pleased! Happy New Year!

C.L.

Gary,

I'm sorry for not messaging sooner. The chair has arrived. It is beautiful, comfortable, and we are thrilled to bring it with us as we become parents.

Thank you again for the time and care you put into it. It means a lot to us. We'll send another photo with someone in it once the baby is born!

D.H.

Gary,

I received your work of art and it is in a prominent place — my bed room. It is such a pleasure to deal with someone that is an expert in their craft. If I decide that my old chair needs attention I will be in touch.

Peace and best wishes to you, your family, and your organization.

J.K.

Hi Gary,

I love my new rocker and footstool! The craftsmanship is outstanding. Sorry I didn't meet you too. And Austin took great care of me. Will see you next time!

L.S.

Hello Gary,

We were sorry to have missed you during our visit, but want to tell you what a privilege it was to visit your workshop and to meet Austin. He was so pleasant and informative, and is very much a credit to his parents.

Your rocking chair has indeed found an appreciative home; we can't get over how comfortable — and how beautifully made — it is. It's got quite a few rocking miles on it already! Please, if you're ever up around our way . . . give us a call. We'd love to meet you!

Sincerely,
M. & R.

Good morning Gary,

Although it would have been a pleasure to visit with you again, rest assured that Austin and Becca took very good care of me. And your blessing is prescient about rocking in peace and good health since the second beautiful rocker ends S.'s and my animated competition for the first one.

Your artistic talent is exceeded only by your kindness. Thank you for both!

All best,
D.

Hi,

It is wonderful. Got it yesterday. Even my builder, who built my house and is a 'good ole boy' was really impressed. He sat in the rocker and I had to ply him out. He was also impressed with the joints of the furniture.
I am able to eat at my counter for the first time.
I am so happy.
I was planning on sending an email but you beat me to it.

Thank you!
C.

Good morning Weeks Family,

Letting you know I received my rocker and am enjoying it very much. The delivery was sooner than expected and the chair is in perfect condition. I can't wait to have people in to enjoy my new chair. It's so nice to own such a beautifully crafted item.

Warm regards,
A.

I just broke down the box for recycling and am amazed at the construction! No wonder you have few problems with shipping!!! The storm was not as bad as predicted )(thank you God) and everything went well. It's so much work to shutter up and prepare inside and out but I went through Andrew and know what can happen.

Thanks again,
A.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

Your beautiful rocker arrived this afternoon and it was exactly as J. hoped it would be! It felt just the same as his memories of the feel and comfort of our son's Weeks' rocker. Your workmanship is exquisite. The finish has the feel of a fine silk satin. We are both so pleased and happy with our purchase. Many thank you's to you and your staff.

Sincerely,
P.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

I have received my rocking chair. I love it!! All I can say is WOW.

The wood is so smooth to the touch that we can't keep our hands off of it. The chair is so comfortable. I sit in it for 3–5 hours a day while teaching school to my 7 children. I must admit that there have been arguments over whose turn it is to sit in it. I love the craftsmanship as well. I was skeptical about all the positive reviews, but not a one of them is wrong. Thank you! In fact my two oldest children are trying to decide if they should use their saved money to purchase a rocking chair instead of a car. They hope you stay in business for a long time since they want you to make all their furniture when they move out. They have spent all weekend looking at the products on your website. Hope that makes your day! . . .

Sincerely,
E.

Hello,

Yes, my chair and footstool did arrive and I have admired them all weekend. It is extremely comfortable and fits me perfectly! It is the nicest rocker I have ever had the opportunity to sit in. And I like the color — from the photographs it looks like there are quite a variety of shades in the walnut. The walnut rocker on the website is a dark color while some of the email pictures were quite a bit paler with more of a yellow tint. So this one is very nice. I also like how there is almost an iridescent quality to the grain so it is quite an artistic and interesting chair to look at, as well as being so comfortable.

Thank you very much for the beautiful chair,
K.

Hello Gary and Leslie —

The rocker was delivered yesterday. The box was in reasonably good condition; the edge guards are brilliant. The delivery guy and I opened the box and removed the chair but did not unwrap it. Everything looked undamaged and I signed for it. I unwrapped it this morning and brought it inside. It is beautiful; an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. I sat on it and immediately smiled because it is exactly as described on your website. Every surface is perfect. It is so comfortable. I was mostly unsure about there being only 4 slats in back but my concerns were unwarranted. I am looking forward to a rainy day to sit there by my window and read a good book, not that I won't be enjoying it on nice days, too.

Thank you,
M.

Gary,

Yes, we received the box decorated by a grand daughter (I presume) containing a remarkable creation . . .

We had you ship the cherry rocker to us in KS, as we plan to carry it with us as we travel next week to NY for a family gathering with J and S (the recipient). This will afford us the luxury of watching their response to its arrival in their lives in person.

And, that will be a delight!! The decorated box will be opened to a marvelous creation. Well conceived, the execution was flawless with a reverence for the material. The idea of the many days of sun and rain and snow in the growing of a tree(s) to produce the wood that your capable hands crafted into an instrument (a thing of beauty in itself) that S. will slowly introduce another being into the rhythms of existence in . . . let the music ebb and flow . . .

So, though I took a week to acknowledge my reaction to your work in hopes of getting the words right, it boils down to a simple Thank You. My admiration and respect to you and your son and your crew for sharing beauty with us and those who follow us.

Till then . . . may the gods grace you all with health and well being

N.

Gary,

Yes, the rockers and accessories were delivered. We're soooo pleased; they're better than we imagined!

We've already decided to pass them on to our kids when they have children . . . then we'll purchase more. Please keep building!

Thank you,
K. & J.

Dear Gary (and team)

I absolutely love the chair. Somehow my favorite little touch is the way my hands fit around the ends of the armrests, I know you sloped it there and I really like what you did. And everything else is fantastic. One of my best purchases ever.

Thanks!
R.

Gary/Austin,

I am refinishing my mahogany rocker, I purchased from you in 2007, and have a question about what type of Penofin Penetrating Oil you normally use on mahogany. There are quite a few choices and I want to make sure I get the right one.

My chair has served me well, it has been outside on my covered porch since I brought it home and I sit in it almost everyday. It is still the most comfortable wooden rocker I have ever found. After cleaning it, it looks almost brand new, except for the "character" my dog chewed on the ends of the bottom of the rocker.

Your assistance and the quality craftsmanship is appreciated!

Regards,
D.

Gary, Austin and others:

First above anything else, thank you so much from the M. family for providing what has to be the most comfortable and relaxing chair in our entire house. Not a day goes by where we don't admire its beauty or sit in its welcoming form. Upon its arrival, I claimed it as my primary chair in the house. Upon the birth of our daughter, mom has summarily displaced me from this fictitious right and uses it every day for nursing, comforting as well as some well deserved napping. Each person that puts eyes on it for the first time is really quite taken with its beauty and craftsmanship. We couldn't be more happy with having this chair in our house and as part of our family. It will truly last a lifetime and beyond and I couldn't be more proud to pass this piece along to the future M. generation.

Thanks again for providing such a wonderful piece. We absolutely love it.
D. & T.

Becca,

The chair arrived today and it is beautiful and comfortable. The stool is also great.
Gary did a great job picking out the walnut. It is more beautiful than I imagined and it matches perfectly.
You have also been very nice and helpful and I would like Gary to give you a hug from me and I'd also like you to give him a hug from me.
The driver who delivered it from MainFreight was very helpful and very nice so everything went very smoothly.
I look forward to relaxing comfortably in my new rocking chair. Oh, I am 6'3" and A. is 5'2" and it seems to fit both of us.

Thanks again for everything.
R.

Hi Gary and Becca — the rocker is a huge success. My wife was quite surprised and loves it already. I enjoy running my hand along the incredibly silky smooth wood as I walk by and marvel at the craftsmanship. That's a really good shipping company that you guys work with as well. Again, we couldn't be happier with our Gary Weeks rocking chair.

Regards,
B.

Dear Mr. Weeks.

We have had many good conversations in the past. Our chairs are still a blessing to our family and the Rocker is the highlight of the living room.

The Mesquite Rocker can sit in a cabin in the wilderness or in the White House and wouldn't be out of place in either!
It's a Gary Weeks!

Your friend,
L.

Gary Weeks Team,

Wanted to assure you that the rocker arrived in perfect condition and the freight delivery driver was exceedingly nice and helpful getting it out of the box.

What a beautiful rocker. We knew you were the one to build it when we discovered your furniture. Thanks for the family heirloom our little girl and entire family will cherish. As a dad to be I have already been practicing my rocking technique! Very comfortable!

Thanks again on behalf of my mother and my wife and me. Best to you and your family and the entire team at Gary Weeks!

J.

Hello,

The Weeks Rocker and Harris Stool arrived yesterday.

I must say, I've never had a customer experience quite like this — from the ease of ordering, the meticulous and thoughtful packaging, the hand-written note from Becca included inside — oh, and the Rocker and Stool are even better than imagined.

Thank you all for a truly wonderful product and a delightful customer experience.

G.

Becca,

The rocker came today and it is gorgeous and is so comfortable! I am very impressed that it does indeed fit perfectly. All the research you all did to discover the perfectly ergonomic rocking chair is incredibly rewarding. (All for your consumers!) Please tell all at the shop that they are indeed the best craftsmen ever! The beauty and the fit are unmatched anywhere.

Blessings,
C.

Hi Gary . . .

I so love your rocking chair, as does everyone who goes rocking in it! It is art, beauty and comfort all in one.

L.

Hey Gary,

We got the rocker. It's absolutely gorgeous, and sitting in it brings me right back to my time in our house in Wimberley. It's more meaningful to me than I can ever express. We feel the love you've all put into it, and I we can't thank you enough. And thank you for the kind words. We will be rocking our boy to sleep as long as he can fit in our arms.

Thank you all so very much.

Kind regards and with much love,
D. & A.

Hi Gary,

The rocker has indeed made it to K. and J. and they are so very excited. It made it there safe and sound. K. thinks it is absolutely beautiful and could not be happier. Thank you for letting us bring a beautiful and comforting part of Wimberley to K., J. and our future grand-daughter.

Have a great weekend and Thank you for everything,
M. & C.

Hi Gary,

I did receive the chair yesterday (conveniently both earlier than expected and on a day I was off from work). Very happy with the look and comfort of the chair. I'm looking forward to seeing the cherry age over time, as I think it will end up looking even better than it does now. Great work, and thanks for the early shipment!

A.

Gary,

We got it in perfect shape and it is absolutely beautiful. She loves it. She is rocking our granddaughter in it this afternoon.
Thanks for everything.

T.

Gary —

Thanks for the follow up and the message. I figured the shipping thing was just some confusion so absolutely no problem at all.

Tiffany was home today and received the chair and said it is absolutely stunning and incredibly comfortable. I am at work, but excited to get home and try it out. From the pictures she sent me, it looks exquisite.

Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful chair. It will be in our family for generations to come.

It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you in Santa Fe. You have a wonderful loving family and I believe that comes out in the furniture you create.

Thanks again for helping us create a caring and comfortable world for our daughter to be a part of.

D.

Hi Becca,

Received my chair yesterday in good condition, thanks to your superb box and packing. When I saw the chair without the wrapping, the first thing that came to mind is: "Boy, that certainly is a Texas size chair!" It is a little larger than I had anticipated, but very comfortable for my size. Already enjoying my rocker and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Thank you,
D.

Hello:

Hope this e-mail finds you all doing great.
Today my rocking chair arrived. What a great day! It arrived in perfect condition. The trucker was great and very interested in ordering a chair from you folks. I gave him your information.
Now, the chair is gorgeous!! Walnut matches are perfect.
Color is fantastic. I can not complain about anything!
Upon first sitting on the rocker my body just melted into the chair and I have only gotten up to let you folks know how wonderful this chair is (you probably already know this)
Thank you soo very much.

K.

Taken from Yelp:

I bought the Mesquite rocker from Gary weeks about 5 yrs ago; it is a work of art and by far the most comfortable rocker I have ever had. The craftsmanship is terrific and the wood lovely, it is a well engineered product. Further, Gary and Co. stand behind their product. I recently had a break in one of the rockers and when I contacted them, they stood behind their warranty and arranged a repair. They crafted a new rocker and made sure that it was repaired correctly by a craftsman they knew and trusted in my location. That kind of integrity is hard to come by now days. Thanks Gary! I'm back in the rocker again and couldn't be happier.
