Had seen a lamp on my last Melbourne visit and decided when I got home (QLD) that I must have it.
I emailed the store through the website and received a reply from Dion who answered all my questions and gave me all the tools to call the store and order it. Spoke to staff member Sarah and she could not have been friendlier. I received the lamp 4 days later, it was packaged safely and looks great. Its the feature point of my daughters "big girl" bedroom. I always make sure that I visit when I am down there, its the best store for kids (and some adults) toys!

Approximate cost: $130

Thanks Stephanie, they are beautiful lamps and I hope it stays in your family for years. :) Dion

Many, many thanks

Hello Geppetto's Workshop,

My mum received both prams 2 days ago. Yours (packed by Simone) was carefully and beautifully packed, the other was not (from another retailer). Yours was in perfect condition, the other was faulty (the handle was not centered and could potentially be a hazard). Due to both of these reasons, plus your cooperation and flawless service we have decided to keep yours and send the other one back to the other retailer despite it being cheaper.

We want to thank you for all your help and the care that Simone put into packing up this special pram. We will in future come to you for any doll or puppet supplies :)

Many many thanks and kind regards,
Catherine and Lilian

Hi Catherine, no trouble to us. We check goods before being posted to online customer, and in this case that's shown to make the difference. I'm glad you've now got your pram. Thanks again, Dion at Geppetto's Workshop

Geppetto's workshop restored an old damaged pull-along wooden toy soldier atop a horse. The soldier was missing a leg, the horse's mane was disintegrating and the saddle was falling apart. The care and attention to detail in the restoration was remarkable. Even though it took many months the end result was well worth the wait. An excellent job and we have a beautiful toy.

Approximate cost: $200

Hi Dion!
The bookends arrived and they are absolutely beautiful...even more so than I imagined! The detail and colors are remarkable. I'm tickled to have such precious bookends for my new granddaughter. You have been instrumental in making a very special memory for my family. Thank you so much for the commitment and fantastic customer service that made it happen. Even though we are halfway around the world, you have made it seem as if you are right down the block from us. It's been a pure pleasure working with you. Much future success with Geppetto's Workshop!
Sincerely, Wendi

As an interstate customer, I made email contact regarding wooden walkers for my baby girl and I can not fault the service. Over several emails, i was given photos, prices, recommendations and great product knowledge which ultimately helped me make the best decision.

I received the walker this week and it's perfect, my daughter loves it and its so nice to have a toy that is not plastic! I will be shopping with this store again and recommend this store to anyone who likes to deal with a sales person who knows their product and enjoys their job.

We received the walker this morning and very happy with our purchase! Our daughter was straight up and walking along, more than ready for it. I love the brakes as we have floor boards so she can't go too fast (or far). Very positive experience.

Thanks Again, Sonia

A very pleasant experience with wonderful helpful staff. Simone (staff member) is an adorable gem!

Thanks Gayle. She's our gem at Olinda and loves the Charlie Bears as you do. Thanks for the kind words, I'll let her know. GW

Whilst in the area on a day trip, we saw this store and immediately went to have a look.

This is a magnificent toy store selling a variety of children's toys, wooden, traditional, carousels, puppets of different kinds and characters.

Seeing such toy store brings out the child in me and I truly enjoy looking around these shops, its something more special than Toys R Us (not saying big toy stores are not good!)

Its a small sized store but jam packed with so much to choose from! There are also many gift ideas.

Prices are a little expensive, but its justifiable as they are quality products, some are from overseas, very unique toys and you will only find these items from specialty stores like Gepetto's.

You are welcome to browse, as the sales lady was very friendly and did not make us feel obligated to make a purchase.

Highly recommend this store for something special.
