While admiring a neighbors kitchen lights, she said she order then from Shades of Light. With no expectation, I went to their site. They had them In stock and I received them in just few days.

Unsatisfied customer. I ordered the Chris Loves Edie Sconce in Brass/Gloss Deep Tan. The light cost…read more$185 + $29 shipping. After tax the light cost $228.34. This light is not worth that price. The metal fixture and the shade feel and look cheap and flimsy in person. The color of the shade is described as a deep tan but it is actually grey with green undertones. However, what annoys me the most is that they charged me $29 for shipping and now to return the light I have to purchase a return label from them. I will not be a returning customer. I will stick with buying from West Elm/PB/Article/Target. (Photo attached. Kitchen remodel in-progress - don't mind the mess!) Shades of Light is the shade is pictured on the left and West Elm are the other two. Grey not tan right?! The WE lights were less expensive and FAR more substantial in quality.

They were easy to reach over the phone (someone was there to answer each time I called), as well as flexible when I added more installations to my original order.

My hubby and I just moved to Richmond! Coming from a gorgeous California apartment with beautiful…read morelighting, I was hesitant to live in my husbands duplex. He wants us to live in this property so that we can save money. The property was built in 1952 so the lighting here is terrible. Just a couple of windows. My hubby wanted me to love it here as much as possible so he called a few electrician companies to come out and give us a quote to get his gal some good ole lighting Many of the companies were asking us to pay them money to give us a quote! We got quotes for up to $100 for just a visit to our home. Ridiculous. Anyhow my hubby found Ace Electric & they were able to get someone to come out and give us a quote the very next day. (Charge free) After they gave us the quote they actually had some guys finish work the same day! So the guys came and out started to put in our recess lighting. Cayman & Ray were awesome. Very professional. And they worked at a great pace. They did the living room and our kitchen! Took about 4 hours for each room. Did a really beautiful job & their work gave our property such a face lift. When the tenants move out of the other side of our duplex my husband will use them again to install more recess lighting.
