Doll Corner — Local services in Edwardsville

This is a repost from a good friend of my wife, on an experience they had at this store. I have to say, I absolutely have always loved this shop. I have been going there for years. I have made many small purchases and quite a few large ones as well. I have introduced this shop to family and friends alike.

Nice stuff poor customer service. If less than 1 was was an option here, I'd give that. I went in looking for a holiday gift for some dear friends and like a few other reviewers felt very uncomfortable in this place. I was the only customer that was there and was also being "shadowed". The $1k table that I got scolded for touching was actually going to be a purchase. Sorry guys, lost sale for you. I will not be returning or recommending this place to friends. Best of...
