1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Volks Chair Stand Issues

Sep 4, 2025 at 8:26 PM

    1. Hi all!
      I managed to find an old metal Volks stand (not the new ones with the heart saddles) secondhand, to use with a brand new stand chair I got from Volks US before those all sold out, but I'm worried I might need a new clip for the stand!
      Is it normal for the clip to not close all the way when the stand chair is in? It closes firmly on the normal saddle part, but when I swap that for the stand chair it doesn't seem to be able to lock, like the chair's bar is too thick, and the stand chair itself slides all the way down and rotates freely in the base. I don't see any cracks in the clip itself, and the stand looks like it's for SD, not MSD, so...I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
      Any ideas, DoA?
       
    2. The clip doesn't close all the way with mine either, but it gets pretty close. I think the chair is supposed to rotate and slide down all the way to the clip, and sits kind of like a bar stool or a hair salon chair. So your doll's legs should dangle off a little. I wouldn't suggest forcing it closed, but it shouldn't stick out either. In any case, you could try contacting Volks USA about a replacement? They're decently responsive about faulty products.
