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

Hello Everyone —
Just wanted to let my whole family know that the wonderful gift you gave me on my birthday arrived at our home yesterday. It came on a truck and was boxed as if it was the lost ark from "Raiders". Once opened, I knew why. Truly, it is now the most beautiful piece of furniture we have in our home or in Willowbrook for that matter. I've never seen such a work of art like this chair. You can tell that someone spent an awful lot of time and effort into creating such a piece. It's absolutely beautiful, and as comfortable as a leather sofa. Thank-You all very, very much. I can¹t wait to sit in it as I watch A. pace back and forth in the room to try and get the baby to sleep!
Thanks Again,
J.Willowbrook, Illinois

I'm so sorry I didn't get to beat you to the punch with an email . . .
The rocker arrived safe and sound and it's beautiful!!! J. just loves it!
I stopped to see it the other day and it was better than I had hoped.
J.'s wife who is 7 months pregnant found it very comfortable!!
You have been wonderful to work with and we were all so pleased to give our brother a 50th birthday gift he could cherish forever, and use daily!
Take care, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Dear Gary — the rocker arrived not long after we spoke and I was on the phone with the shipper. It is a gift for my wife from her children. She is thrilled by it, as am I. It would be a great addition to our house even if no one ever sat in it! Just to look at it or touch it brings a smile of pleasure. I'll give you an update on the joy of sitting in it once I gain some experience.
Thanks so much!

The rocker arrived yesterday morning and mother M. and baby B. love it. As I have said, it has been such a pleasure for me to give them something made to be beautiful and comfortable by someone I know.

Hello Gary Weeks & Company
This past weekend I became the proud owner of a Weeks Rocker — it was a 50th birthday gift from my girlfriend L.!
It is a beautiful and comfortable chair and you should know that I will enjoy every minute in it.

Hi Gary, Just wanted to let you know that the rocker arrived in perfect shape, was a complete surprise, and Rick says he "really, really likes it." Thanks for all your help, for making such a wonderful product, and for working with us to make it a surprise. I would recommend your business to everyone. Thanks again,

Dear Gary,
D. has had his 50th birthday rocking chair for almost a year now and I can tell you that if he is home and sitting down, it is likely that he is sitting in his rocker. He is so pleased to have it. The chair sits in our living room, near the wood stove, in front of the windows looking over our back yard. The chair is comfortable enough that he can sit for hours working (he's a computer scientist and sometimes works at home) and it is roomy enough that he and his laptop fit nicely. Thank you so much for working with me to give him something that he really enjoys and cherishes.
Best,
S.
P.S. He was delighted with the surreptitious carved lizard.Carmel Valley, California
