Wow. Loving this store, it's like walking through art gallery…read more Lunaria East opened just a few months ago. It's a family owned business and this is their second location in the bay area. Their other store is located in Marin. They specializing in unique, hard to find designer pieces for residential and commercial spaces. Now I have always had a thing for chandeliers, but the lighting here is next level and creates a statement piece for any room. Honestly I never thought about lighting in this way. Some of the pieces are like sculptures. I was a little intimidated at first, because I thought I couldn't afford anything in here but most of the pieces are pretty reasonable, and they have something in every price range. One of the owners said hello and when we asked about pieces, he walked us through the store and pointed out a few of his favorite designers. You can tell that they have a true passion for lighting and design. They carry over 150 designers from all over the world, and the curation here is impeccable. They also offer interior design services for home and lighting. After stopping by I'm seriously thinking if I should swap out my crystal chandeliers for of these signature art pieces. Truly transforms your space from basic to a work of art. Bravo Lunaria.

So, when I needed to upgrade the main panel from 100 amps to 200 amps, I contacted Sugi Kardon.

The crew was efficient, respectful, and the job easily passed city and PG&E inspections. I've added Kardon Electric to my contacts list and highly recommend them!

He came to install an outdoor outlet for my sprinkler system and noticed that another outdoor outlet had been installed incorrectly by a previous company. Without me even asking, he fixed it at no additional cost. What I appreciated most was the care they took in my home.

I was surprised to be dismissed so quickly so I made the motion of looking around like I wanted to see some options. I gently pressed and he again stated "We can't help you." Then he told me to go to Bed Bath & Beyond. 1. I was there because I wanted to support a local business. I could have easily tried Lamps Plus first 2. Before you summarily dismiss a customer, maybe show her the globes you DO have and explain why they would or wouldn't work for her particular lamp 3. This is a 60-year-old lamp...I doubt Bed Bath and Beyond would have what I need So I went to Ensler Lighting in Berkeley and spent my $$ there instead. At first the guy at Ensler also wasn't certain he had what I needed, but guess what? He took the time to look around and experiment and ultimately he was able to jury-rig something that worked great. Imagine that?

Unfortunately that did not happen, as the electrical appliances in my kitchen had no power No hot coffee for me. Enter Alley Electric. The office was closed as this happened on a week-end. Their message said that they would contact me on Monday. They did. Julio came out to the house on Monday and after checking the circuit breaker box and doing some tests on the inside outlets, quickly solved the problem. Julio was pleasant, very professional and smart. The cost of his expertise was very reasonable and he could have found ways to increase the cost but he did not. Needless to say I am very impressed with Alley Electric and I do not impress easily. Alina, the woman who with whom I spoke, was as nice as she could be, and I appreciate this attitude, especially in today's world. Alley Electric is an independently owned business, and I firmly believe that we should support these businesses if they deserve to be supported, and this business definitely deserves it. They have glowing reviews from others too. Phone: 510-573-0427 Email: Alleyelectric@comcast.net
