Testimonials I bought the Country Dollhouse from
you December 9, 1999. I remember the date like it was yesterday. After I had
ordered the Dollhouse for my 3 & 4 yr old girls I went home to the fire
department putting my house fire out. While I was gone the electrical in my 1
1/2 yr old home started a fire in my kitchen area. All of our Christmas was
burned and gone. The Country Dollhouse was still at your shop and all I had to
do was pick it up right before the holiday. For 8 years the Dollhouse has been
my girls most favorite item they have ever had. We still sit and play with it.
They are now 11 and 12 and there isn't a week or two that doesn't go by that
they don't entertain smaller children with it, or just themselves. December 9, 1999 was bad day for our little family. But the purchase that I made that day has lasted a long time and will be with us for even more. My girls disagree all the time of who will get to take the Dollhouse for when they have little girls. Problem, it will stay at grandma's house! They will have to purchase their own. Please don't stop making them! At least for another 15 years. Everything worked out just fine, we were back in our house about 3 months later. The Dollhouse and Barbie's were pretty much all we could think to put together 2wks after the fire, but it was one of the best gifts that year. I love and cherish the memories that we have from playing with the Dollhouse. For three months it was the only toys that my girls had. I never thought about the cost because of the quality. You have done more than build something that will last, you created years of great memories for our family! thank you! ==================== Dear Mr. Martin, Thank you so much for offering a quality dollhouse product. I had shopped for a long time prior to purchasing your dollhouse for my daughter. There is nothing on the market comparable to yours, in quality. She absolutely loves it and I plan to pass it down to her children. Thanks again. ====================Yes, we have the doll house and when we started to put it together we realized that no one has furniture for it. We are giving it to our grand daughter and will continue to order more furniture from you as we can afford it. I am also waiting to see the patio furniture. This has been a very fun project.....but very pricey. When you spend a lot to make the doll house you want to fill it with the best furniture out there. We are so happy we found your web site. I will pass it on to the doll house store here because there are many people looking for Barbie size. Thank you again ==================== Sent with happiness, hugs and hope. =================== I found your site by searching for "1/6 scale dollhouse furniture." I have written an e-mail as well in regard to your dollhouses. Looking forward to hearing from you- I'm so grateful to you for offering a QUALITY alterative for 11.5" dolls! Best Regards, I received my order yesterday. The dollhouse and all of the furniture is wonderful. I can't wait until Christmas morning to see the look on my 5 year old Daughter's face. Thanks again, ==================== Hi Frank! The house turned out beautiful! I need to take some better pics and I will send them to you... Hope your Christmas was Merry, and your New Year will be Bright!!! I really should get another set of drawers too. Thanks a bunch for all your technical support! Footnote: She purchased the
Country Dollhouse with no modifications because it turned out to be the perfect
dollhouse for her mice! The End! Just to let you know the dollhouse arrived safe and sound on Wednesday. I have been busy every since trying to have it ready in time, between work and of course Christmas shopping there was not much time but I am happy to say it is ready. The dollhouse is everything I thought it would be and then some. Very nice work and excellent materials. I know my daughter will enjoy this dollhouse for years to come and I am sure it will survive to be a toy for her children some day. Everything went great and the finished dollhouse is very impressive. Thanks again, Merry Christmas to you and your
family Sunni Bolger, mother to Vivi, age 4 OMG!!! I love your site. I have been searching all over the web for the perfect doll house for my daughter. I had one when I was young but it was not this beautiful. I can't wait till I can get it for her. ==================== This customer feedback was sent to us by one of our great soldiers stationed in the Netherlands. Hello Mr. Martin, Just wanted to let you know the shipment arrived on the 7th of March. Even though it wasn't in time my for my daughters b-day party she loved it dearly once I finished setting it up. I also wanted to say you are truly a talented individual each piece fit perfect. The only things that were broke in the shipment were 3 of the railing pieces and 1 window. Again thank you very much and I will send you pictures of my little girls treasure once we are finished. Sincerely Sgt Leipart ==================== Hello Mr. Martin, My husband put the dollhouse together, now we just have to paint it. He said he really appreciated the instructions (he's not much of a carpenter). My daughter cannot wait to play with it! I have given your website to several of my friends and one will be contacting you soon. Sincerely, Amy ==================== My wife for years growing up asked her parents for a Barbie Dollhouse and every year she was disappointed. In December I decided I would get her that house and I found Frank's site. I was so impressed that I called him and asked if it could be shipped in time for Christmas. Frank worked with me and even with the short turn around time I had for Christmas morning. My wife and I have enjoyed putting it together and she is thrilled with the house! It was easy to assembly and the quality the product was even more than I expected. I have ordered several additional items from Frank since then and I continue to be impressed with the product and the service. Thanks Frank! Kirby ==================== Hey Mr. Martin! It's Laura and Family in Texas. The Country dollhouse we got for Christmas this year is great, and sturdy enough for the kids to really get lost in play. They have made rugs, curtains and pictures. We Love our dollhouse. I put it together...no problem, great instructions, its beautiful! Thanks, Laura ==================== I just found your beautiful dollhouses last night. I can't wait to get one of the amazing houses. I haven't found anything like them. Marla ==================== Thank you so much for the wonderful service you provided with the order and shipment to our FPO address to come to Singapore! I was so impressed that you answered the phone yourself and made yourself available to me at non-working hours so that I could have my questions answered and order placed. Also thank you for working around our special shipping situation. I don't know of too many places that provide such great customer service anymore. You were very helpful on the phone, you were genuine and kind, and I was so impressed that you would try so hard to work around our shipping requirements for the FPO shipping. I know it was extra work on your part. I can tell from our conversation that you enjoy what you do and that you take great pride and care in building such beautiful doll houses. I can't wait to receive it and put it together for my daughters for Christmas. I will proudly tell all who I know about your website, great service, and great product. Thanks so much, Tami ==================== I found your website just by googling - there is no place in Australia that makes 'nice' wooden doll houses - you know the kind that will last for ages and can be passed down, then there is the difficulty of finding one that fits 11/12 inch fashion dolls. Will keep you posted...kind regards Tanya ==================== I've searched the whole internet for Barbie sized doll houses and keep coming back to yours. There is nothing in the world like them, they're beautiful (PERFECT) and I know my daughter Heather would play forever with one of these. My problem is that I live in Scotland, so, to buy the house and furniture and bits, and to have it posted over here will probably set me back about $900 +, which I can't afford. I can afford to buy the furniture, shingles, railings ext. & get them shipped over, (if you sell abroad) but it would be really helpful if I had the plans to make the Alpine or Chalet. I could start building now & get it ready for Christmas. Thanks in anticipation of any help, advice, best wishes,
Sharron, Hi Frank, thanks for all the info. My husband has threatened to build a dollhouse from scratch but going by the state of our garden shed (he built it) I've decided against it and will order a dollhouse from you instead. Can you tell me how to go about paying for my order including the post price to the UK please? Your prices to Iceland etc. don't sound as dear as I feared. I thought it would be hundreds of dollars just for the post. Thanks again,
Sharron, ==================== I am in Dayton, TX. I can't afford to order right this minute but have to
have one in the near future. Maybe after Christmas. My grandaughter, Maddi, just
turned 5 August l. Her mother (my daughter) passed away with cancer July 22, 30
years old. I am decorating a room for Maddi so she can have a special spot at my
house (5 minutes away.) You will hear from me again as I have looked all over
the internet but your houses have a very special touch and I am not at all
surprised that you will be very busy. I am also glad it sounds really easy to
put together. ==================== Here it is 2007 and I "finally" found a Barbie house I like.........Better yet LOVE. Please tell me you are STILL making them! This is going to be for me, and my 3 grand-daughters. Please let me know! Susan ==================== Frank: We got everything on Friday - it has just been hectic here in Park Avenue. It was BEYOND FABULOUS!!!!! I can't wait to get it into the house, which should be this week. Thanks for everything. Ian ==================== Yes, we have the doll house and when we started to put it together we realized that no one has furniture for it. We are giving it to our grand daughter and will continue to order more furniture from you as we can afford it. I am also waiting to see the patio furniture. This has been a very fun project. When you spend a lot to make the doll house you want to fill it with the best furniture out there. We are so happy we found your web site. I will pass it on to the doll house store here because there are many people looking for Barbie size. ==================== Hi Frank! Hey, I have amazed myself so far. Actually, it is your attention to detail and your good instructions that has made it easier than I thought it was going to be. Just working on the house at night after the kids go to bed, I have it all primed, the shingles and roof caps on, and have the two exterior walls sided... all in one week! ..... And it looks great! By the way, staggering the multiple colored side of the shingles looks incredible!! You have got to try it. I'll have to send you some pics. Anyway, I have a some questions for you before I side the wall above the deck, and the dormer. I'm assuming I put the siding on the window side of the dormer first, but how do I do the corners on the dormers? I am not sure how the siding should fit together on the corners. Will I need 45 degree cuts, or will they just butt up together like the roof caps? And how does the siding go around where the balcony on the patio meets the wall. I think maybe if you could send me some close up pics of the corners of the dormers, and of the siding around the patio balcony, that that would probably be the easiest way to show me how to do it. I don't want to do any more until I'm sure what I'm doing. Also, any suggestions on how to paint in all the tight quarters up in the dormer? The primer didn't look so good, and I know it isn't supposed to, but I hope I don't make a mess trying to paint it. You didn't attempt wall paper in there did you? I can't remember. Maybe a close up shot of inside that dormer would be helpful too. ...And when you make a pattern for your wallpaper, do you just do one wall at a time, and have it meet in the corners? What kind of paper do you use to make your patterns? I know.....Lots of questions. Thanks so much, you are awesome,
and I'm telling everyone who will listen about your houses. I can hardly wait
for Christmas, my girls won't believe their eyes... and it is going to be
sooooooooo much better than it would have been if I hadn't run into your site
that night!! ==================== Please visit our "Articles" web page to read about us in the news.
