Three French Hens Antiques & Interiors

Terrible customer service. Interested in purchasing Mackenzie Childs to add to my collection, but everyone was too busy to wait on customers. Check out person rude and lacking basic customer service skills. Well not shopping there and supporting a business that doesn’t put customers first. Cover that bad service up with offering cappuccino. I’ll keep supporting Frontenac Plaza were I’m a regular and get treated the way one should when spending money.

This is a breath-​taking store with highly well-​appointed displays of furniture, knick-​knacks (some of the rustic Americana style, some more stylized and upscale, and everything in between), sofa pillows, throws and other blankets, beautifuly framed paintings, framed prints, picture frames, dried arrangements, vases, candles, candleholders, jewelry, scarves and seasonal items. And probably much more I don’t remember.
Today, huge pumpkins (papier-​mâché??) and Halloween glitz decocated the front porch. It was quite inviting.
When my friend and I entered, we were both welcomed and offered a beverage (latte or cappuccino), plus there was a carafe of lemonade with cups just inside the door.
There’s a lot to see in here. .. and a lot you could miss — wonderful treasures disarmingly displayed as you might display a hutch in your dining room or a cozy wooden table for four in your kitchen. So accessories are everywhere!
There were lots of little (and bigger) plaques everywhere. .. about golf, fishing, family and assorted topics. There isn’t a «plaque» department — they’re just everywhere, so you could be surprised at the turn of a corner.
I don’t know where they get their furniture and all the other items they have, but I’ve never seen the likes of most of these things. .. the craftsmanship, the uniqueness, the originality!
A lot of the furniture pieces are quite large, so you’d need plenty of space in your room, and know the measurements you can accommodate.
I don’t believe I looked at one price tag. .. . except the gorgeous antique dining room hutch, which was in the $ 2,400-$ 2,900 range, and you’d need 12-​foot ceilings and at least a 20×20-foot room to display it properly, unless you have a massive foyer, and it would work there, too.
But I didn’t buy anything either. .. just enjoyed the ride while my friend bought some lovely home furnishings and a beautiful pair of snowflake holiday earrings that were maybe $ 7-​$ 10.

This is a lovely store and I believe there is something for everyone. Yes, there are pieces of furniture that are higher priced but the quality is there and as I have learned… you usually get what you pay for. There are also a lot of other things for those perhaps a little more budget minded. As far as the review about being ignored. I have never had this experience. I happen to work close to the store so I stop in sometimes during lunch or right after work to see what is new. I have always been offered a beverage when I entered and usually asked at least once if there was anything they could help with. Let me assure you I am a single Mother with a tight budget so you can tell by the car I drive and the clothes that I wear that I am probably not going to buy the most expensive thing in there… but even the owner herself has greeted me so I think that alone speaks volumes about the person she is and the business she is running. I have picked up various small gifts for others and even a few things for myself. I am not their best customer by a stretch but I am glad that they do have those out there so I can continue to enjoy the store and take home a few small treasures on occasion. Stop in and look around, you will not be disappointed!

Three French Hens is located in a cute little cottage in West St. Louis County and features European inspired home décor. You have to really be looking for the building or you’ll drive right past it. Firstly, understand that there is the Manchester Road we all know. As you drive further West into Grover/​Wildwood, it becomes highway 100 and a new Manchester Road pops up at a stop light that you must turn South onto. Watch the road signs!
I had heard the commercials on the radio and had seen their ads on tv, so I finally checked their website to get the address and then checked them out on Friday. The website says that you’ll be offered complimentary coffee upon entering, but I had to ask for mine.
Perhaps it is because I’m young, but I was pretty much ignored while I was there. Older people or those dressed in expensive clothes were treated very warmly, and the workers seemed to know a lot of their customers personally. Now, I still give four out of five stars because of the fact that Three French Hens had gorgeous merchandise, tons of antiques and everything was set up really nicely. They had a real stuffed Grizzly Bear, antique oil paintings, little knick knacks and much more. The customers who were getting attention were very well taken care of.
