Testimonials
"Just a note to let you know the directions came in the mail yesterday and they are very clear and precise. I want to personally extend my appreciation to you for taking the time to attend to this for me. What extraordinary customer service. Thank you for your assistance in this matter." - Joanne (2/19/10)
"Just received the shingles. Thank you so much! This has to have been my most pleasurable experience dealing with a product and its company. Your acts are a wonderful experience and have recommended your product to several friends, one of which went out and bought one for her daughter. Thank you again."
"I would like to comment on the fine product you have. The kit is awesome and the online support is above par. Frankly, the whole thing has been an amazing experience because my wife and 7 year old daughter (for whom I am building this house for) have been involved in the whole process. It has been a fun journey making something that will be passed on down the family. I want to thank you for your wonderful dollhouse kit." - The Summers Family
"Thanks again for mailing my missing parts from the General Store Kit. Real Good Service from Real Good Toys!! Great job!!" Hugh L.
"Hey Jen, Received the Glenwood; Firehouse and Country Church instructions today. All in order. It's rare to find such excellent service these days. Thank you so much!" Babs
"Hi Gary: All you ever needed was pictures of my dollhouse, but I wanted to express how happy I was with the whole experience of building my first dollhouse...everything was absolutely perfect. Your input was valuable and I did not feel rushed or that I was imposing. I also called on two occasions to order minor missing parts and once to order parts to add a railing around the third floor stairwell. The lady was always pleasant and so efficient. Again, thank you for your product and your help." Tom S.
"Thank you so much! I am so pleased with the quality of your product, and now your customer service is proving to be just as wonderful! I'll be looking forward to receiving the replacement parts, and will certainly be recommending Real Good Toys to my miniature enthusiast friends." Char C., Davenport, IA.
"Hi, Thanks again for mailing my missing parts from the General Store kit. Real Good Service from Real Good Toys!! Great job!!" Hugh L., Canada
"I have built several dollhouses (Victorian Cottage Jr., Victoria's Farmhouse, Alison Jr., and Vermont Farmhouse Jr. currently under construction) and must say that the durability of yours is fantastic. My granddaughters love them and we do not concern ourselves with there playing with them (except Victoria's Farmhouse, they are a little young to handle hanging lights etc.) The others are electrified but no hanging lights. These are definitely strong enough to be passed on from one generation to another. I cannot say that of the first dollhouse I built. Some are made to just look at and admire, others are for both admiring and playing with. The family thanks you!" Patricia D.
"WOW...your service is beyond belief...very different from how the rest of the world seems to work. Hope your kindness is repaid a thousandfold. All the best to you and yours." Bob W., Rockport, ME
"Thank you for sending me the parts for the missing railing for the wonderful Real Good Toys dollhouse! I truly appreciate your help AND the quality of the dollhouse. It surely is a Real Good Toy! Thank you so much." Jill D., Glencoe, IL
"I love Real Good Toys brand dollhouses. They are truly heirloom quality and I look forward to seeing these wonderful houses for more generations. I may have mentioned that my oldest daughter owns a beautifully completed Alison Jr. Now the only one left without their own house is...ME! I'm still working on that one! Maybe Santa will visit me this Christmas too!!!! Anyway, thanks for all your help and e-mails to address my panic. I'm very grateful! Donna B., KY
"Just wanted to let you know that the Barn is in great condition now! Your advice with the repair job on the barn doors track made it possible. I never thought of using the wax paper and that made the difference. The doors are perfectly hung now and glide easily. Thanks!" Grammy Kathleen
"Hi Gary: Thank you for your prompt response. I will try the liquid nails #601 project glue on the next house and see how that works out. I have mentioned to various people on numerous occasions the great customer service that your company provides. Whether it is replacing a missing or broken part or answering questions like mine, you folks are always courteous and prompt and should be a model for others who don't seem to truly understand the value of good customer service. I love building your houses and have done quite a few over the years. Thanks again for all your help and the great dollhouses." Ed T., NY
"Just wanted to drop you an email to tell you that my father is here this weekend, and he successfully fixed the dollhouse door! It was very easy just liked you showed in the video! Thank you so much once again!" Annemarie C.
"I am pre-painting my Queen Anne and this kit is cut perfectly and goes together beautifully." Thanks, Gail
"My daughter loved the house, as did the rest of my family. Thanks again." Scott regarding a Victoria's Farmhouse

"What a great product you folks produce, and your quality control must be fantastic because I had absolutely no problems." Steve W., St Augustine, FL

“I emailed you yesterday…Thank you and Gary for all your support while I was building my dollhouse…I am almost done, just a few minor details.” Rose P.
“Thank you so much. That’s why I would only think of buying Real Good Toys Dollhouses. You are very professional. (That goes for you Jen, you are very good and the company should be very appreciative of that).” Sharon M.
“Many thanks to you…This has got to come under the heading of “Terrific Service”. Bill M.
“My missing parts arrived today and I thank you for sending them. I was impressed with Real Good Toys service and I will be purchasing a second dollhouse in the near future.” Verna M.
“I received the pieces to the house you sent me. Thank-you very much. I really appreciate the service you gave me and the time I was responded to was great along with the time it took to get me the pieces. THANK-YOU again, great job. PS. Thanks for the tip on the web site for help with building the house. Just one extra step you did not have to do, but I think it was very helpful of you.” Mark A.
“I am the one who owes you thanks. I was very impressed with the woman I spoke to yesterday, and the friendly e-mails remind me that yours is a great company. I have bought 3 houses, and love to put them together – I will continue to do business with you. Please share this with your supervisor.” Pat G.
“You guys have a good product backed by great service. Thank you very much.” Paul P.
“Saw your TV spot on the Discovery Channel a few days ago – EXCELLENT! As the makers of the best dollhouses on the market, you deserve all the nice things that come your way. WELL DONE – thanks for the boost that you have given our beloved hobby.” Mae
“I just recently purchased the Vermont Farmhouse Jr. from your company and I just had to write and let you know how impressed I am. The workmanship and detail are amazing, as well as the material used. I have already constructed my house, (it’s my first one), and found the instructions easy to follow. I am now showing it to everyone, and they are totally impressed too. Thank you very much.” Marie D.
“I just completed one of your dollhouses I purchased almost two years ago. My father had scared me out of trying to do it (he tried years ago and gave up). I finally summoned up the courage to try and complete it for Christmas. Much to my surprise it was pretty easy to do! The instructions were pretty easy to follow and although I simplified the design somewhat, I am very happy with the results. (I ended up not putting on the porch or shingles, but I might add those features at a later date.) I’m ready to go out and buy another one for my daughter, but I’ll be sure to only buy Real Good Toys brand! Thanks.” Frances R.
