The Weeks Rocking Chair

This rocking chair  is my original design and the signature piece of Gary Weeks and Company.  Every curve, contour, angle, and dimension was generated by its contribution to comfort.  Every joint was tested for strength and longevity.  Every view was refined as sculpture.  Every surface is finished to delight the hand.  "Sensuous," we hear.  (See Designing the Weeks Rocking Chair and Our Hand-rubbed Oil Finish.)

In spite of how impossible it sounds, almost everyone from 5'-0" to 6'-4" will marvel at the enfolding support and sweet motion of this rocking chair and call it perfect.  (See Why the Weeks Rocking Chair is So Comfortable.)  I have heard the "marveling" and the "calling it perfect" enough to offer this guarantee of satisfaction:

The Weeks Rocker is guaranteed to be the most comfortable, the most beautiful, and the best constructed rocking chair that you have ever experienced or we will refund your money, including all shipping charges.
(Over 1790 delivered, three returned.)

These rocking chairs are carefully handmade and built to last.  (See How We Build a Rocking Chair.)  Because I know to what standards and how these chairs are built, I offer this guarantee of service:

The Weeks Rocker is guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for the life of the original purchaser.
(See the full terms of Our Guarantee.)

I designed the Weeks Rocker in the winter of 1991-92.  In the years since, we have built a family business on the comfort, beauty, and workmanship of our chairs — more precisely and to the point, we have built a business on the satisfaction and enthusiasm of our patrons.  We build furniture to make people happy.  (See the Testimonials and Publicity.)

The rocking chair has a connection with family, hearth, and home.  Families often keep them; I regularly hear such comments as, "I have my grandmother's rocking chair."  This family connection is abetted, of course, because people often get a rocker when starting or adding to their family.  When designing the Weeks Rocker, its suitability for rocking babies was paramount.  We like to build rocking chairs for new parents.  It feels like important work.

We build the rocking chairs of cherry, walnut, maple, mesquite, mahogany, and sometimes other fine woods or combinations of woods  (special editions).  Regardless of the species of wood, we carefully select and match each part and each chair for a coherent composition of color, figure, and character within the form of the chair.  Our rocking chairs are identical in contour and comfort.  (The seat of the mahogany rocker is constructed differently, but it sits the same.)  The chairs of different woods have different expressions and ambience, speaking to different people.  I recommend choosing the wood for a rocking chair according to color, setting, intuition, and personal connection.  All are strong and hard enough for long service.  More photos and information are provided for chairs in the various woods on the corresponding pages.  (See in Cherry, in Walnut, and so forth.)

We have shipped our rocking chair to almost every state and several countries.  I guarantee the delivery of furniture in mint condition.  (See Shipping.)

The internet has been the source of much of our business — patrons find us in a search for rocking chairs.  When someone calls from Jerome, AZ or Ketchikan, AK and says, "I found you on the web and I'd like to order a chair,"  it feels a little like hitting a line drive into the gap in left field.
