I brought in a very old (1950's) Stiffel lamp that turns on when the pole is pulled down. It…read morehasn't worked for more than 50 years. A family member tried it to get repaired but the person removed the mechanism that it needs to turn on my pulling down the pole so it hasn't worked for many years since. I called around to find someone who would have the experience to work on such an old lamp - and an electrician recommended Nowells - said he always takes his lamps to them for repair. I walked into to Nowell's and Juan knew exactly what it was (Stiffel) when I walked in. He did say he had worked on a Stiffel a couple years back and was able to find the part so probably could repair it. And he did! He was able to make it a working lamp. I'm so happy to have found this person. Thank you, Juan!

Yes they have new inventory available but it's their unique vintage and antique ceiling lights and wall sconces that will tickle you pink, or yellow or blue etc. This wonderful family owned and operated niche will also delight you with personalized care creating the lighting you're envisioning. They also fabricate, repair and rewire! They have provided lighting for movie sets and all the way to the White House!!! This is an #Allison Victoria, Windy City Rehab #HGTV worthy emporium. If you looking for well made up cycled vintage and beyond lighting for your project or remodel, skip the depot and come here first!

I went in today to get a couple of shades that could handle the heat generated by the bulbs I use, and that wouldn't collect dust (a big problem on our potholed street). Again, Amanda selected a couple of non-cloth shades that will work beautifully and can be wiped off with a damp cloth. She also knows ALL about the workings of lamps (more to it than you'd think), and always has the little part or fitting that you need. You won't find this kind of expertise online!

I went into this store because I am replacing EVERY SINGLE light fixture in a house I just…read morepurchased. I used to live in this neighborhood so was very familiar with the location of this store even though I had never been inside. I decided that I wanted to "shop local" vs purchasing everything online. I have my new kitchen and bathroom designed, the electricians are coming and I am ready to make my selections. I take time from my day to drive over to this place in my old neighborhood. When I arrived, there was another client ahead of me. That was no problem. I wasn't in a hurry as I had set this time aside for this purpose. I was looking around the room and the woman working there asked me what I needed and when I told her, "a lot of lighting" she let me know that she wouldn't be available to help me for 20 minutes or so. I said, that's fine I can wait. Then she asked me if I had made a list of what I needed and what purpose/function I expected from each light fixture. Ummmm. I have a list in my head. I haven't written down a list. I am not a list making type of person but I know my spaces. Then she tells me I need to go home and make a list and come back when I have it because otherwise, I am going to "fall in love" with items out of my budget. Huh?? I was so confused! She had no idea what my budget was. She literally sent thousands of dollars in unsolicited business out the door. This place must not need new clients. That's ok. There are plenty of places that will happily take my money. I walked into an appliance store today and they were thrilled to show me their inventory and assist me in my purchases. It was a stark contrast to my experience at Lunaria. EDIT: To respond to the response. You are not being truthful with what happened. NEVER did you infer that I step out for coffee and come back. I WAS the person who asked for catalogs to look through while waiting and you specifically told me that would be a waste of time without a list. Even your client seemed to pick up on the fact that you were about to lose a customer and she then said, "Here, here are some catalogs if you would like to view them." and that is when I said, "She just said that would be a waste of time and is not her process." If you're going to tell the story, please be honest about what occurred. Super frustrating experience considering I set time aside to come view some lighting and even was very clear that I was in no hurry and didn't mind waiting for you to finish. You made it obvious, you didn't want to speak to me unless I had a list of lighting with what I expected each light to achieve. Those were almost your EXACT words. Not mine. 2nd EDIT: I just saw in your biz description, "Appointments are recommended." This says it all. You could have simply told me, "I would love to help you but it sounds like you have a big project that will be time consuming and I will need you to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, it would be helpful for my process if you make a list..." That would have been much more productive instead of coming across as dismissive and patronizing. As for misrepresenting what occurred, there really is no excuse for that.

She listened carefully and presented options within my budget. When the fixtures arrived, and the vendor failed to include a part, Alia intervened quickly, and the vendor shipped the missing part. When the vendor failed to specify the right bulb for the chandelier that I bought, Alia intervened, contacted the vendor about the omission, and bought the correct bulb from a local store. Her husband delivered the correct bulbs in the rain to expedite installation.

Issac was quick to respond and helped to share some sample photos as a reference. He came by in person for a quick consultation so that we could align on expectations and he thoroughly went over my options and answered my 100 questions. Because our roof line is asymmetrical I challenged Issac with how we could find balance and his creative solution was to install some up lights which paid off. I ultimately decided to only have the front of our house done because our neighbors are close by and felt that would be disruptive for them. The team was ready to install 1.5 weeks later and they did a great job at keeping the cords nicely tucked away where possible and neatly tacked. Further they offered an additional service to clean the gutters for an incremental cost which we opted in for as a double whammy. We are so pleased with how it turned out and would definitely recommend EasyLights to anyone looking for a similar service.

I am so embarrassed I didn't think to yelp him before this. Customer service is off the charts & he is just a nice guy! Like the other reviewers, we didn't know we needed a lighting designer when building our new house. I can't remember how we found DSL but Scott was so knowledgeable & nice we wanted to work with him even if we weren't sure how we were going to use him. He developed an amazing lighting plan with all kinds of different lights & treatments. Hubby & I have always hated how most of our houses were under lit and Scott made sure that we had all the light we needed. He also put in a Lutron system for us - those fancy switches that you can program to control any light in the house. We love them, but we've been fiddling with them since they were installed, changing what controlled what. Scott even trained me how to do the programming myself so I could fool around with the system. But that's the reason we're still working with Scott so long after the installation - and he has been soooo patient with us as we finalized the programming. I can't speak highly enough of DSL. Great product, great to work with.

Scott offered amazing ideas and suggestions that I did not know even know were possibilities with lighting - up cabinet lighting, wireless master console switches, unique ways of lighting bookshelves and task lighting.

Though he does a lot of high end projects, he was also extremely mindful of our budget and helped us make decisions to stretch our dollar further. He is pleasant, easy to work with and responds quickly to emails and questions. I highly recommend this company for your lighting design needs.
