Hi Gary and Autumn – the rocker, footstool and table arrived on Friday, March 5th.
I must say, the packing in the those containers was so secure. Everything arrived with our a scratch and shipping boxes showed no sign of being dropped or crushed.
Most importantly, the furniture is lovely and I do believe the rocker will be an heirloom in our family. Many thanks for the fine craftsmanship and good service. Please pass our thanks to your team in shop...
With thanks,

Gary,
When Forrest called I told him I was tickled to hear from him and he said that he had the world's most beautiful rocking chair on his truck for me. He was not lying! It is absolutely gorgeous! The grain is beautiful, the matching and alignment of the grain on separate pieces is amazing and the workmanship is beyond anything I've seen. Every day I find some detailed piece of craftsmanship that blows me away. If you can't tell, I LOVE the chair.
The one question I have is care and feeding for the chair. From the website it would appear the my rocker has an oil finish and not wanting to do anything that might detract from it's beauty I'd appreciate knowing what you would recommend to clean and treat it. [see: https:/garyweeks.com/furniture/maintenance/]
Again, I love the rocker and dealing with everyone connected with it has been a pleasure. Thank you so much.
All the Best for you, your family and your workers,

Hi Gary,
We are so pleased with the chair - yet again! B. was blown away by the craftsmanship and how comfortable a chair it is! She said "It is more comfortable than my couch!"
Thank you for helping us carry on this wonderful tradition!
Enjoy your new one!

Hi Gary
It is indeed an exceptional chair, on all levels, including how it promotes excellent posture.
You have both my gratitude as well as my respect.
Thank you for checking in.
Kind regards,

Hi Gary and team
My good friends R. and C. bough me a cherry rocking chair for my retirement. I’ve been a dental specialist for 30 years, dealing in fractions of a millimetre my whole career. i can honestly say i would let Gary and his team do surgery on me.
The quality of this rocking chair is second to none. Absolutely, amazing.
Thank you very much to you and your team for being so dedicated to perfection.

Gary,
The rocker is the only chair I have used since Christmas, it is wonderful. I keep running my hands over it and feeling the perfect edges and transitions. I love the ridge on the front of the rear leg that runs from the crest rail and disappears into the arm rest and the carefully chiseled chamfer where the crest blends into the leg. I keep reaching down to feel the crisp sharp corners of the seat corner against the smooth edges of the rear leg. I tried to find some sign of imperfection and nothing, it is hard to tell that human hands have touched it
The rocker is by far the nicest piece of furniture that I will ever own but on a $ per hour basis I suspect it will end up being the cheapest!

Wanted to share how a 25-year-old classic pecan rocker of yours looks with a matching side table you made this year. My mother left me her beloved rocker, and I know she would adore this handsome pair. Your design and craftsmanship are wearing very well !
Thanks again—totally love it!

What a uniquely exquisite shopping experience!! Found Gary’s website searching for a special rocker for my wife. Hand made in USA, high quality wood options, clearly intelligent but subtle design modifications for comfort...so that’s a great product! What blew me away was a personal phone call from Gary to discuss an inlay question I had, shipping options close to Christmas, any other questions or requests I might have...all with that endearing TX accent and mirrors the authentic and sincere videos on the website. Couldn’t be happier!
Sincerely,

Dear Gary and Team,
The rocker came today and is truly a thing of beauty.
Oddly, I though I had ordered the walnut. That is what I intended to order. But I love the maple, and am warming to it so much that I’m now glad I made the mistake.
Thank you for your craftsmanship and commitment to excellence and quality. The rocker and table are works of art. Plus it is VERY comfortable to sit in!
Best,
C.
