I have a beloved olde family heirloom lamp (the kind that your relatives try to weasel out of you…read morebefore you're mature enough to realize how lovely it is). Two weeks ago, to my utter despair, the little bugger shocked me; intervention was required. Enter Appleton Antique Lighting. It's a bit small, and Route 9 is a bit crazy, so keep your eyes peeled. The gent going through bills off to the side was a bit brusque, but the lady at the register was very sweet. They quoted an *extremely* reasonable price for the fix. They said it might take two weeks, but they got it done in one. And my lamp is back to its healthy, non-shocking ways. Go there. And bring your poor, your tired, your huddled lamps, yearning to be fixed.

I can't say that I know a whole lot about lamps. My bedside lamp had been bugging me for the last…read moreten years or so - I kept having to wiggle the switch to get it to work, and sometimes the light would go out while I was reading, it would go out and I'd have to get up and wiggle the switch again - one of those really annoying little things. Finally it dawned on me that there's people out there who fix these things - I took it to Appleton, and the rest is history. They are incredibly nice there, and while they said it would take a few days to fix, it turned out they were able to sneak it in between larger projects and the lamp got repaired by the next day. Not bad! Basically, I would say that they were very knowledgeable, extremely welcoming and affable people with excellent customer service, and as far as I can tell, they charged a reasonable price. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again as they certainly have earned a repeat customer (just hoping that I won't have any more broken lamps, haha).

It was off to Flemings I went the other day to search for a new shade for an antique marble lamp we…read morelove and as I knew I would, I found the perfect one. This store in the heart of pretty Cohasset Village touts itself as a lighting store. And indeed if you're in need of anything having to do with lamps, sconces, chandeliers and the like you've truly come to the right place. The choices are seemingly endless no matter what area of your home you might be interested in illuminating inside or out. The staff is incredibly helpful no matter how big or small your needs might be. Beyond lighting however I've found myself here on more than one occasion. This can be a great place to find a special gift as I did not too long ago. Friends who are getting married next weekend like Mariposa metalware and so it was here I found what I think will be a nice gift. They also sell some things made by local artisans which is another nice touch with a nod to the community. Flemings does repair work on metal including sterling silver. While we haven't tried that service, we know someone who has. These days I don't know who else is doing this kind of much appreciated craftsmanship. I plan to bring a pair of sterling candlesticks that belonged to my parents which sadly have gotten dented. They will restore, replate and make any silver you have look like new and they guarantee their replating work for 25 years. Hello! Flemings is a unique store that's been around town since 1931 offering a variety of home products and services with the kind of attention from staff that otherwise feels like a lost art in America. Nothing here comes inexpensively however. The lampshade was pricey, I'll admit. But for the type of great, local, individualized service I think it's worth it.

Shopping in the cozy, convenient village of Cohasset is nice, but don't expect anything "cozy or…read moreconvenient" about Flemings. Staff is rude and so unhelpful. I brought 2 unmatched lamp shades in to find 2 in the proper sizes that matched. Donna "assisted" me with the in-store inventory. While she went this way & that, mumbling and looking generally confused, she kicked my shade which she had set on the floor. Her shoe left a dent in the inner lining, to which Frank said to Donna "don't worry, she's getting new ones". Hey Frank, I'll decide if I'd like to use that shade in a different place in my home. But now it's broken... thanks. That was over 2 months ago and I'm STILL waiting for the lamps shades which are paid in full. I've called multiple times, only to be told "I'll get back to you". Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.

I have been a customer of Scott, his brothers and even his father going way back. They were always highly recommended and well known in the trade as experts for antique and unusual lighting and repairs. I have bought many pieces over the years and had Scott refurbish some older lamps for me as well. His work and his knowledge was always top notch and it was always a treat to visit the old barn and see the sons and their amazing collection of lights, shades, furniture and unusual old things. All of them were friendly, talented craftsmen and always fair and straightforward. Glad Scott is up and running again. I can highly recommend the skill and the work they do. John G.

True, the lighting sales people do not do any of the wiring. BUT they should know about the products they sell. And be able to help come to a solution. Otherwise they are order takers. I can go online for that! When I went back to return the product they suggested, I was told the $100 dimmer was not returnable because it was "used". Yet, the person still gets to keep the sales credit for a product that they suggest would lessen the loud buzz. The simple solution to my buzzing lights were higher quality bulbs. About $5-$10 (candelabra and sconces) per bulb depending on the base size!

Referred to Granite City and was thrilled at the opportunity to spend at a local merchant…read more Entered the store to a cold stare and then both ladies on duty pretended i didn't exist - I shrugged it off and set about finding the light fixtures i was seeking. Less than 2 minutes later, a couple walked in and both ladies at the front sprung to life with a warm welcome and offered to assist as needed. As i processed this, the door opened again and yet another set of folks walked thru the door - again to great fan fare and the usual do not hesitate to flag us down with any questions. I had some questions at this point, but resolved that as i was being treated like a 3rd class citizen, i would just leave. As i prepared to exit, i heard yet another enthusiastic welcome as another person entered the store. I decided to test my theory. I walked up to the main aisle positioned myself in front of the ladies and waited to be acknowledged. They all of a sudden were completely consumed by paperwork and both ignored me in sync. I cleared my throat and asked a question about a light fixture.. Lady 1 ignored me and continued to shuffle papers while Lady 2 answered my question dryly and suggested i look through the catalog. No warm and fuzzy offer to help. Needless to say my first visit was also my last visit - Good Luck to you as business owners in 2020 behaving like its 1950.
