Disappointing experience. Ordered four chandeliers. Two arrived clean and properly packed. Two arrived dusty, dirty, and loosely packed with styrofoam debris -- requiring cleaning before installation (see photos). Delivery also exceeded the advertised 2-3 week timeline by a wide margin. Communication about delays was inconsistent, and responses felt dismissive when concerns were raised. Additionally, the fixtures appear to be sourced from third-party vendors rather than an exclusive in-house collection as implied. For the price point, I expected consistent quality, accurate delivery timelines, and better customer service. Unfortunately, this experience fell well short. read more

This business sold me a chandelier, processed my payment, and then called afterward to say they would not deliver it because they "accidentally" undercharged me and now wanted an additional $4,000. That is completely unacceptable. They also claimed they would cancel the charge to my debit card, yet the payment moved from pending to fully processed. So not only did they refuse to honor the sale, they also failed to return my money as promised. At this point, they are refusing to uphold a completed transaction and are withholding both the item and my payment. That alone should be a major red flag for any customer. To make matters worse, the salesperson openly admitted that everything in the store is marked up at least 50% above retail value because, in their words, "tourists love to haggle." That tells you everything you need to know about how this business operates. This is a company that overcharges customers, does not honor agreed-upon prices, and cannot be trusted to follow through even after taking your money. I strongly recommend avoiding this place entirely. read more

This a a cool shop in the French Quarter with all kinds of neat stuff to look at. Normally, I look and browse and never buy anything at these types of stores, but the cool cigar cutter caught my eye! They had a few styles but the Mrs kept telling me the yellow one was the best. That's normally not true unless we're talking bananas or the inside of a Little Debbie cake. The staff was amazing and pointed out the matching cigar box and made a package deal with shipping that I couldn't refuse. It was a splurge for myself and I'm happy with my purchase after it arrived about a week after I bought it, packaged with LOTS of paper to keep it all safe! While we waited to write it up, we had a couple of soda pops from their cool fridge and went about our shopping trip without having to lug more stuff around (we already had bags of stuff too). Definitely worth a stop if you see it. There may be multiple locations of this store too, as is typical in the French Quarter. read more

Fischer-Gambino - Very cool Cigar Box and Cutter - Furniture Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Amazing staff! Very helpful and knowledgeable! Their collection of lighting is beautiful. The furniture and accessories are so beautiful!

Rude customer service. The moment I walked in the store, the man followed me around for my whole shopping experience and never once asked me if I needed help with anything. I felt unwelcome and was starred and followed around at like I didn't belong there read more

Tammy & Steve were so responsive & made sure I received exactly what I needed and were prompt in making things right to ship cross country ! for unique finds and amazing deals check them out next time you're in NOLA! read more

Antiques, antiques antiques & rude rude rude staff do not mix. When the high end shopping experience doesn't equate to the level of customer service you receive its time to shop somewhere else. The staff this visit was not kind to us at all. Which is fine with me really. I enjoy buying high end antiques, just somewhere else ;) Won't return. read more

If I could give Fischer-Gambino 10 stars on a scale of 1 to 5 that is how i would rate them. Each of the ladies were so helpful, knowledgeable, and down to earth..... 1) they each go out of their way to help you (Laurie took me under her wing today) 2) they are not pushy. They will help you put rooms together with an inexpensive light here but a more opulent light here..... they clearly know what they're doing to make your house a beautiful home. 3) some of the negative reviews talked about the ladies that worked there explaining that when a sign says do not touch it actually means do not touch. It is not a place for children... It is a beautiful family boutique lighting experience. It is not a playground. 4) if you need any light fixtures go here first. read more

My wife came across this place on a getaway weekend to in New Orleans. Very cool store to just browse. We found a lamp/fan that we loved. They were very helpful, gave us a great discount and shipped it to our home in California. They said shipping could take up to 4 weeks, well we got in 5 days read more

Fischer-Gambino - Lamp/fan - Furniture Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Lights. Cameras. Action! Walking into this quaint lighting store, is like walking into a museum. You may look, but you may not touch. You may look, but you may not take pictures. You may enter, but you may not linger. When you first enter the store, they literally have the store set up so that it's one way in, and one way out. You absolutely will be tempted to touch all the shiny sparkly pieces dangling from the ceiling, but don't. They are seriously expensive crystals, and other lighting items that cost a small fortune. I truly wanted to take pictures because they had some very unique lighting, but there are signs everywhere and sales people that will watch you like a hawk, and absolutely for bid you from taking pictures. They literally don't want you sitting on any of the furniture, or really touching anything. I get it. I really do. But they have a store set up so that people who aren't necessarily in the market for lighting wander through. This is definitely a store that you don't want to bring children into. The store is oddly placed in the middle of the French quarter where tourists go to mingle, dine, wine, and have a good time. I suppose they may also want to spend a lot of money on an item that would also cost a fortune to have it shipped as well. The sales people actually are very friendly, but I would imagine it must be incredibly stressful to have to deal with 85% of the people that walk into the store or totally disinterested in anything but touching and not purchasing, and the other 15% possibly interested in making a purchase but unable to really look because of the people lingering around not interested in buying. If you are in the area, and have a penchant for lighting, and unique lighting at that, absolutely stop in and take a look. read more

Fischer-Gambino is such a great store!!! So fun to journey through the chandeliers and stunning furniture. The place is full to the brim of interesting things to look at (and if your budget allows) buy! Marsha and her team there are top notch, super nice and super helpful! Definitely stop by and browse the whole store on Royal! read more

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT SHOP here!!!.....any table lamps you see in store can be purchased via Amazon for more than half off. The lights are made by a company called Chloe. We saw a light we liked. Initially ticket said 600...the owner said half off. We bought it and paid for shipping $50. $350 total. Imagine our surprise when box arrived and the same light (identical model number went for $153 on Amazon with free delivery) don't make drunken purchases like we did. This place is a rip off. Beware and do not buy here. read more

This business houses some of the fanciest lighting options I have ever seen. They have an incredible selection of chandeliers, ceiling fans, home decor, fountains, game tables, and furniture. One day I hope that I have a home worthy of this sort of fine decor, but until then I will visit here and fantasize about that cool foozeball table with the monkeys and lions in my imaginary 'game room'. read more

My husband and I recently purchased a new house that we are having built. We need chandeliers and this place appeared to be perfect! Custom made chandeliers ?? Awesome! However, we have been to a LOT of chandelier places. By a lot, I mean all of the commercial manufacturers.. I.e. Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Upon entering, we were wowed by the selection. Then, we noticed something horrible. They had the same chandeliers as Home Depot marked up to ridiculous amounts. I pulled my phone out to look at some of the pictures I had taken in the other stores, and they were by my side instantly. "No pictures please!" Little did they know, I already had all of the pictures of their over priced chandeliers- they were just taken at Lowes. One that lowes sells for $180, they actually had priced for $1000!!!!!! Glad we did! Do your homework. Don't trust these people. read more

Customer Beware! Please read before shopping with this merchant. My wife and I purchased a fixture from this company in October of last year while we were in New Orleans at a cost of several thousands of dollars. The fixture was shipped to our home in Nebraska and arrived severely damaged. After many calls not returned, we finally got the owner on the phone where she accused us of damaging the fixture and would not accept that fact that it could be damaged in shipping. The owner would not provide a refund but, finally, agreed to replace the fixture. This was in December. We never received the fixture and after weeks of many unreturned calls, I was able to get the owner on the phone where she told me she had a replacement fixture and would ship it if I was willing to pay $350.00 for the shipping. I foolishly agreed to do so. A week later, I called to ask the status of my fixture being shipped and was informed that due to Covid, UPS would not ship freight any longer and that the store would be closing. Months go by, the store repopens, and I repeatedly attempt to get either a refund or the fixture. Finally, in August, I get the owner on the phone where she informs me that she sold the fixture to someone else and that if I wanted my money back, I could just call my credit card company and get it from them. If you have ever tried to do a chargeback with a cc company, you will know that it's a painful process and since some much time had passed, they were unwilling to do so. Anyway, I finally get the owner to agree to give me a refund. I was sent a refund request form and completed it, same day, and sent it back. That was weeks ago and I'm back to calls and emails not being responded to. Basically, they have stolen thousands of dollars from a customer which makes them crooks and irreputable merchants. I will be pursuing other options to recover but it will be a long journey. However, everyone needs to be aware that this is a place where you do NOT want to risk your money. read more

Every time we visit New Orleans, we check out the cool displays at Fischer-Gambino on Royal Street. We always loved seeing this monkey sconce. I'm so glad we finally purchased it and Fischer-Gambino's excellent customer service shipped it to us quickly. We may not be able to visit New Orleans right now, but this reminds us of the city we love so much. read more

Fischer-Gambino - Monkey sconce - Furniture Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Feel like accidentally breaking something while trotting around the French Quarter? Fischer-Gambino specializes in things that look reeeeally fragile in a very inconsistent and cautious showroom. It's a gorgeous store. There are at least fifty one-of-a-kind chandeliers hanging from the ceiling that are just screaming to be hung in a Victorian dining room or foyer. They have this 'one way in/one way out' thing going on that a lot of folks choose to ignore, but it's basically just a large oval path that hits every part of the store. Please watch your head, neck, shoulders, or any other body part because there are things hanging super low and poking out EVERYWHERE. This is why they have the 'one way' thing because it was tight squeeze no matter where you walked. I surprised I didn't pummel face-first into a $30k Tiffany glass sconce. Oh and that's the average ticket price here as well so I was totally treating this like a museum. Lots of amazing things to look at though! No pictures! read more

We found an exquisite piece of local art at this store while on vacation. On the back it had the artist's name, date and item #. While mulling it over it was not hard at all to find the artist's site where they were selling similar items at about half the cost! When we reached out to artist we were planning to purchase something from they directly, based on the one we saw. Prior to meet up we went back into the store to inquire if their price was firm (considering they were marking it up nearly 200%) they were rude and told us "they have to pay $20K in rent"...we were then contacted by the artist who invited us to home was then pressured to not sell to us directly anymore either. It was both a sad and disappointing experience! read more

If you are in Néw Orleans ( Royal Street) you simply must check out the merchandise. Beautiful art and pieces selected for anyone's satisfaction. read more

Fantastic quaint little store in New Orleans. We liked so many things in the store we planned to go back or order online. However, I was a little disappointed in my purchase as I got home and put it on display and was so proud I got it at such a "good deal" with it being on sale to find out from a friend doing a 5 minute Amazon search I could have bought the identical item for half the price. Still love the little sculpture of the monkey looking into the mirror but now I know to google Amazon with descriptive words before I buy. read more

I come here mainly to browse and drool. This French Quarter store is filled with beautiful chandeliers and other unique lighting creations. The staff on all occasions has been polite and helpful and sought me out to see if I had any questions. Yes, it's expensive. But I have yet to meet a chandelier that isn't. read more

They took my money, and delivered nothing. Three weeks later, I called to inquire. No one knew what was going on and no one was following up. They charged my card even before receiving the goods or mailing them. I waited some more, then wrote to cancel. They never responded. They never confirmed they would reverse the charge. Then a short-fused lady named Patti came on the phone and yelled at me. Something is wrong at this place. They take your money, don't deliver and mistreat customers inquiring where there product is. read more

I could not be happier with my purchase or the quality of service I received at this beautiful store. While shopping for living room furniture pieces, Bill was more than patient as I walked in at least 10 times over a one month period, each time with tape measure in hand. Since the sofa I wanted was quite expensive, he was quick to offer suitable chairs at lower price points to keep me within budget. I met Patti (the owner) who was also lovely and very attentive to my needs. Another salesperson Cheryl came over to introduce herself as a point of contact since Bill would not be working the day of my delivery. I felt they worked great as a team and were focused on making sure my experience was a positive one. In the end, the sofa looks better in my apartment than it did in their beautiful showroom. I'm thrilled with the purchase and thankful for the level of professionalism of the staff. read more

I purchased the beautiful blue LED outdoor tree. The staff at Fisher Gambino went above and beyond to get my tree to me in michigan. They gave me advice on how to assemble and keep my tree in excellent condition for its outdoor life. Even though there were many customers in the store I received fantastic personal attention. Stop here if on Royal Street you won't be disappointed! read more

I feel like I have made new friends and we haven't even met. Everyone there that I have dealt with as been the best. I bought a product online that I have been wanting for years. They made that dream come true and have worked with me through problems with the shipping. They have taken their time to follow-up and get back to me. It has been a very pleasant experience and I love the item I got so much!!!! I wish I wasn't so many states away because I would be in their store all the time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! read more

This is kind of a long story so I'll try to condense it. Bought a lighted outdoor tree from the store for my balcony on Decatur St. in mid 2014. The tree was on my balcony looking absolutely smashing for 2 years. Sold this the Decatur Street property and put all my belongings into climate controlled storage for a year while looking for a new home in the Quarter. Found a new home and moved everything out of storage only to find my once illuminess, gorgeous tree had turned black! Quite perplexing to say the least. With this information I went to the store thinking nothing ventured nothing gained with very low expectations. Spoke with Cheryl, one of the staff at Fischer-Gambino, and she directed me to send a text to Patti's cell phone. (the owner! WOW...the staff actually gave out the owner's personal number for customer service issues...stepping up the customer service game beyond what I was expecting!) I sent her images of the wonky tree and she got back to me stating Fischer-Gambino no longer sells that tree manufacturer. So, you can imagine what I was thinking at that point....get ready for the blow off....here it comes! NOT A CHANCE! Patti not only said she'd replace the tree with a far better one and only charge me her cost, she also personally delivered it and she and Bruce (another staff member) installed it in my courtyard and took the yucky black one away! What the heck! How excited was I!! I was so over the moon pleased with that kind of customer service that I went back the next day and spoke with another staff member, Laurie about getting more fixtures for my new home. We talked about what I needed but I felt there would be more clarity if she could see my interior. So she came over to my home on that very Sunday and spent probably 3+ hours helping me research the right fixtures for my place and share her amazing decorating ideas. We found super cool fixtures that will fit my style just perfectly! I can hardly wait for them to come in. As a small business owner I realize how difficult it can be to please all customers, but I must say not only did I receive great customer service with fair and equitable resolutions to my issue, I also witnessed great customer care while i was in the store browsing for lighting options. Thank you to all the Fischer-Gambino staff that helped me...Cheryl, Patti, Laurie and Bruce! You guys rock! read more

We were intrigued to come into this store when we saw the huge bronze lions. Everything in the store is for when you've reached boss status and want people to know you are a boss. Whether it's bronze lions at the entrance of your home, fancy monkey lights in your living room, or a chandelier for your dining room. If you look at a price tag here you are not the target customer. Those who get things from here have no budget and simply swipe their credit card. No pictures were allowed. You walk around in a counter clockwise path and look at all the fancy items. The staff was friendly and didn't judge us even though we had no business being in a store like this. I was afraid to even walk around as I wouldn't have the credit limit to cover anything if I tripped and broke something. read more

It's obvious that some people have never shopped in high volume Royal Street stores before. You have to have a little patience when it's crowded, but they always treat customers with respect and go out of their way to please. read more

I bought chandeliers for my whole house. What great service helping me decide on what was best to fit in my house with my style. All arrived safely. When I researched the pricing I saved some serious cash. Going back for a few closet chandeliers. OK I may need a twelve step program but my house looks grande. read more

If it was possible to give one star, I would. Terrible service and salespeople. Avoid this shop with crappy old stuff, and crappy old people. Old does not deserve respect, nor is it better. read more

What a fantastic store, my husband and I stepped in just for a quick look and was enamored by all of the unique items in this store. We discovered some beautiful bronze garden statues, I could not live without. Our sales person Diane, answered our questions and was able to work with us on the price. PMcElroy read more

After reading reviews about fabulous product inventory I brought an out of town guest here for some shopping. While there was absolutely nothing in this store that I didn't find gaudy or tacky my Austin friend bought a small chandelier. Well sure as she gets home she finds it at her Lowe's store in Austin much cheaper and her NO one arrives broken into countless pieces. Customer service was lacking and it took several attempts to have them agree it was their responsibility. This left such a bad taste in her mouth she disputed the cc card and sent item back. I guess when you're dealing with a tourist customer base you can get away with over priced, tacky products and sub par customer service because the tourists are just happy to say they bought something on Royal St in New Orleans. read more

We have purchased so many lights from Fischer Gambino and as if the selection wasn't enough to wow us, the customer service is really what keeps us coming back! We have had a few issues with some of the lights we bought, none of which was the fault of Fischer Gambino, but they helped us every single time! One issue didn't arise until we had had the chandelier for a whole year and they still were eager to help us and they didn't quit until we were happy. We knew if we had purchased the fixture online, we would have been out of luck a year later. read more

Our home flooded in August of 2016 and we had to completely redo our bottom floor. Laurie helped us choose the perfect lighting for our home and we are absolutely thrilled with the products and customer service we have received! The team at F&G not only have gone over and beyond to assist our family, but have truly become a part of our extended family. Whether you are looking for 1 small piece or looking for numerous pieces...F&G is the place to go! The best customer service we have ever received! read more

Went in to store on a whim while in Quarter. Left pretty quickly. Not only is everything overpriced, which is the norm for Royal St, but everything is also very gaudy. I could not imagine who buys this stuff? We all know the saying- money doesn't buy taste. read more

I have not received my shipped product yet, but I have visited this store twice. It is by far the BEST showroom for bohemian crystal. I shop in several states. This store beats what I've seen in Memphis, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, et cetera for uniqueness, price, and variety. I called and advised that I'd have to travel over 300 miles to visit the store, and they offered to accommodate me regardless of what time I got into town. They offer exquisite service without hawking you fro.m the moment you walk into the door. I purchased my chandelier from these folk. I was given $50.00 off. The piece was $500 below my maximum budget, and traveling to the store for the discounts saved me about $1,000 on the actual product. They were friendly and knowledgable. There is nobody like fISCHER-gAMBINO. read more

Beware "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" If you are at all not sure about size, weight or husband acceptance factor do not order a light fixture from this store. I made a big mistake by not understanding that ordering a light fixture and paying for delivery I wasn't able to cancel. Richard my salesperson was very sympathetic they offered to exchange for another item however I'm home now and can't see their products, I waited all day for the Owner of the store to call me back, after sending them an email I received a call within 20 minutes from the Owner who said NO WAY would she cancel the order and insisted she was shipping the fixture. The prices they show in the store are double what they are on their website, the hook is the salespeople in the store then tell you they are offering 30% off so make sure you check their website prior to thinking you got a great deal. In my situation I was given 50% off and told the manager was in a great mood that day, later when I went back to show my sister what I ordered I was told by a different salesperson they were offering 30-50% off. Their light fixtures are indeed beautiful, but apparently due to the amount of folks that either changed their minds or realized they were misled by "manager good moods" this store does not care and has an hard line attitude towards any future good will and return customers. read more

Every year I go to a medical seminar in New Orleans, and, every year I stop at Fischer-Gambino. I have purchased seven items over the years from the shop, from lamps to paintings and sconces. They've always been great in there. It's not a very big store and there are a lot of things to see. They also will work with you on price on some items. Great store, great people. Highly recommend. Looking forward to coming back in May 2020. The house looks a hell of a lot nicer with Fischer Gambino things in it... read more

I arrived in New Orleans on August 10th 2018 for a conference. About 1 PM after dropping my bags off at the Bourbon Orleans I entered Fischer Gambino. I was immediately greeted by a sales person who inquired "Is there anything I can help you with". I replied no -that I was just looking around.Her response was-'There is nothing for you here. You don't belong here-and would you please leave. She walked toward the entrance and motioned for me to leave. She spoke with disdain and hatred towards me. I asked why? Have I done something wrong. Am I inappropriately dressed? Do I appear intoxicated or belligerent? I explained I am a physician from Dallas here for a medical conference. I was in shock at almost in tears. I didn't leave but just stood there. I found a women there who said she was the owner. I explained one of her sales people just tried to kick me out the store for no reason. She responded"Oh she's just old. I'll talk to her. We have had some break ins lately. I said Does it look like I'm trying to break in? Is it because I'm African American?-Again I was near tears and quietly walked out as instructed. I am a 60 year old African American physician from Dallas. Never before have I felt ashamed to be from the United States of America. Kathy A. Toler MD read more
