Hi Gary,
I’m just writing to say thank you for the 3 Rockers that arrived safely yesterday. They are the most beautiful Rockers I have ever seen, and look like they have every chance of lasting for several lifetimes. As I had mentioned to you when I ordered the Rockers, they were to be cared for by 3 separate families who have been joined . . . I chose the Rocking chair because it represents the love between a mother and her child.
Please pass on our thanks to all who worked to make them and in particular to your Grandchildren and friends who designed the 3’s, they did a fabulous job and made the chairs extra special.
Many Thanks

Gary — we took delivery of the chair and stool on Friday – no problem, everything arrived in fine shape. The rocking chair is beautiful!! We are so pleased with it – its very comfortable, and the workmanship is wonderful. The chair was a gift for the mom-to-be in our family, and she loves it – I told her she could give it to her daughter when the daughter has her own baby.
It was a pleasure to deal with you, I hope we have another occasion to do that.
take care and thanks a lot

Dear Mr. Weeks,
We just unpacked the rocker and everything looks great. We wrapped it back up so my daughter and husband can open it next week at their shower. Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely,

Good day Gary
. . . It's not an easy matter pleasing ones kids with any gift, but A. and B. were frankly giddy about this one. Seems they'll be as happy with theirs as we are with ours. My son, still single at 34, has already spoken for our rocker. We will see if he needs to wait that long.
Finally, and as usual, it was a pleasure working with both you and Austin. Perhaps another day . . .

Thank you Gary. Although I was unable to be there when the gift [rocking chair for retirement] was presented, I heard it went over very, very well.
Best,

Gary — To say, 'she loves the rocker', is an understatment — thanks so much . . .

Gary —
She loved the chair — what made it even nicer was on Christmas nite when our visiting 6 month old (newest) granddaughter got a bit tired and she was rocked to sleep in the midst of the ongoing Christmas chaos — thank you!

Dear Gary,
Thank you! Your chairs were delivered yesterday to my parents (with great care, I'm told), and as you can see in the picture, they were very well received. :) As my Mom's subject implies, these chairs have found a permanent home. :)
My parents insist that despite their being made for outdoor use, that these chairs are simply too beautiful to consider having outside. Both of my parents are amazed at both the design and the comfort.
We'll be joining them in Ohio over the weekend, and look forward to seeing these up close (and perhaps even stealing a few minutes in one). :)
Thanks again for everything . . . all of your correspondence and help with the purchase, and of course, the quality of your product!
With gratitude,

Dear Gary,
What a lovely experience. First, the discovery of your website nearly 10 years ago. Obviously your company is more that just a "business". Your philosophy, creativity, and integrity certainly caught my attention. Seeing your rocker was love at first sight. Since that time I have visited your site often and yearned to own one of your rocking chairs.
Well, special events call for treasured gifts. For my 50th birthday my husband surprised me with my dream rocker. I was thrilled! In this day oandage, where it seems like time passes too quickly, emphasis is placed on technology, quality is sacrificed for mass production and revenue, and the individual gets lost in the crowd — it is so refreshing to know that Gary Weeks and Company exists!! You take every day items and make them extraordinary to enhance our lives and bring us joy. Rocking is therapeutic, grounding, nostalgic, and nurturing — the world would be a better place if everyone owned a Gary Weeks Rocking Chair.
The principles of simplicity and honesty are evident in your designs. I appreciate the time and care you and your craftsmen/ women (and children – the precious butterfly drawing on the crate) put into creating each detail. Just sitting in my rocker makes me feel connected to all the wonderful people who put their energy into it. I am deeply touched and grateful to own such a functional work of art. You ARE truthful — "most beautiful, most comfortable", indeed YES! I respect your family and workers for what you do and how you do it. Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives.
Take Care,
C. and B.Kirkland, Washington
