After a visit to the carousel down the block we wandered a bit through downtown Albany. We used to…read morecome here a LOT for a Masonic youth group and the Masonic temple is next door to this shop, but Albany has been making lots of improvements in the time since we were involved in all that and it was cool to see some of the changes made, including Ree + Rae's and Hole in the Wall Vintage. This shop was really cute and folks were quite friendly. I love that they had items from various vendors. I chose some really nice room/linen spray with a scent profile called Berry Balsam, which smells fantastic. I was expecting a far too overpowering botanical, since balsam is a pretty strong smell, but this is a great balance. I also got some coasters, really cute, that are crochet and they're shaped like sunflowers. Prices were so reasonable. You'll find lots of fun finds here, for yourself or gifts for others.

I was looking for a nightstand and found one I loved, along with a farm bench I was not currently shopping for, by the same vendor. Though both were very reasonably priced, it was a little more than I had planned to spend this day. I asked the owner if she would see if the vendor might consider a bundle discount. She was very sweet and quick to consider and follow through with my request. The vendor also quickly offered a discount for which I was extremely grateful. During this chat I had measured and was sad to figure out the bench would be too big. I happily took the nightstand and meanwhile the owner followed up with the vendor and me to hook me up with a brand new bench the vendor had been working on that was exactly the size I needed. The owner stayed in prompt and consistent touch with me, and I now have a bench that I adore, perfect size, and the store and vendor still honored the initial discussed discount without my asking again. I have always found adorable, unique, special pieces and decor at great prices. Please give this store your business and bring your friends, you'll be as happy as me!

Highly recommend!

The customization option is very thorough and enables you to truly make your gift look just right. There was a detailed list of items, designs, and themes to pick from. Leigh is amazing to work with! She emailed me promptly to confirm she had received the order and also sent me follow-up pictures to ensure I liked the box and its contents before it got sent out. I had a minor change to make and she made it quickly. The box was received in less than a week of my ordering it, which was much faster than I had allotted for.

I had no idea who to use in Oregon, but I came across Bella Vino in an internet search and liked their unique baskets. Leigh did an amazing job. I couldn't be happier and friend loved it.

She was super quick to respond and sent pictures of the finished basket with a list of items for my approval. I also got to give my thoughts prior to the basket being created. The process was fabulous. I highly recommend Leigh and Bella Vino. Great company!

Good Day Yelpies,…read more From the outside, this place looks absolutely amazing--its long-standing history as an independently owned business is what drew my wife and me in for some furniture shopping. As many of you know, furniture is a long-term investment, and the shopping experience should come with attentive, knowledgeable staff who help guide you through that process. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt more observed than welcomed. One employee made eye contact and immediately turned away, and as we continued browsing--essentially left to "prospect" on our own--there was little effort to engage or assist us. On our way out, another staff member offered a brief hello but never followed up to ask if we needed help. When you're making a significant purchase like furniture, customer service matters just as much as the product. Sadly, this visit left us feeling overlooked rather than valued. We later found our couch at another location and will receive it in 30 to 60 days due to the customization we requested. We are happy to have found a place that truly understood what we were looking for our home.

A fun decor feature is their display of completed Playmobil sets on shelves around the perimeter of the north side of the store -- some of the sets our own grown offspring had as children. We found a few treasures to purchase, including a fun looking 1000 piece puzzle. The store staff were cordial and helpful, even if they were not going out of their way to greet everyone who came through the doors. One big plus for us, after walking around downtown Corvallis for a few hours, is they have public restrooms available! You have to ask for a key at the checkout counter, but the restrooms are very clean and well maintained; and for those with very small children, there are full-sized changing tables. We often find ourselves being sort of "restroom snobs" when it comes to shops and restaurants; but we find the condition of the bathroom is often an accurate indicator of the rest of the facility. Anyway, The Toy Factory is a wonderful little shop, and I highly recommend it.
