Or even a garage sale lamp find that needs to be rewired? Then A Shade Better is the store for you. In business for over 20 years, A Shade Better is your one stop shop for lamps. Case in point- I had an antique floor lamp that was in desperate need of rewiring (it was like living in a haunted house the way the thing flickered on and off) as well as a new shade since it had fallen over so many times. I took it to A Shade Better and within a week, I had my favorite lamp back home with not a flicker in sight. They manufacture all their own lampshades but can also use your own fabric to create a lamp that perfectly accessorizes a room. Their designers know lamps and understand the scale balance between base and shade and are always willing to offer advice and suggestions. Lamps are the charm that add a warm glow to any room.

Replying to Mr. E response to my review. I called customer service to confirm exactly what the…read more"FREE QUOTE" included and was told the electrician would go up on a ladder to inspect the ceiling fan and electrical components and provide a written repair quote. Once the electrician gained entry to my home, no inspection was performed, and the visit was instead converted into an attempted upsell to a paid diagnostic. This conduct reflects a classic bait-and-switch. The "FREE QUOTE" was used to induce the appointment. This conduct implicates multiple consumer-protection violations as outlined below, including heightened concerns where deceptive in-home solicitations affect senior customers: - Bait-and-switch -- promising a "FREE QUOTE" to induce an appointment, then substituting a paid diagnostic once access to the home was obtained, in violation of 815 ILCS 505/2B and FTC Act §5 (15 U.S.C. §45). - Deceptive and unfair business practices -- materially misrepresenting what the "FREE QUOTE" included and failing to provide the promised inspection and written estimate, in violation of 815 ILCS 505/2 and FTC Act §5. - Material misrepresentation -- the scope of the "FREE QUOTE" was a material term that influenced the decision to schedule the appointment and allow entry into the home, actionable under 815 ILCS 505/2. - Deceptive inducement and reliance-based harm -- the misrepresentation caused reliance before any payment occurred, which constitutes legally cognizable harm under 815 ILCS 505/2 and federal unfair-and-deceptive-acts standards. In-home solicitation violations -- deceptive conduct occurring inside a consumer's residence, which is subject to heightened scrutiny under FTC Act §5 and Illinois consumer-protection enforcement standards. - Senior consumer protections -- misleading in-home solicitations and high-pressure upselling affecting a senior consumer trigger enhanced enforcement priority under Illinois Consumer Fraud Act (815 ILCS 505/2) and federal consumer-protection policy concerning older adults.

I was wearing all black with camouflage military slacks. That must of been where they started their stereo-typing, as I didn't look like I had money to spend from the LaGrange store. I walked the entire lighted footprint as I strolled past the sales desk twice. I took one more look in the area of the showroom with price tags averaging anywhere from $399 to $700 plus. My third approach near the sales desk, made me stop in my tracks with 3 sales people, one on the phone. I asked out loud to them all and asked them if they were on "commission". One lady wearing eyeglasses kinda under her breath stated "Yes". Then I stated that I was in their area of business for at least 15 minutes and NO ONE approached me or openly said Hello. As I continued past them, I said to them that I have $$$$ to spend but wasn't going to patronage them as didn't show any emotion to assisting me. I consider this a very poor approach to sales.

Five Stars for Oakwood Electric & Generator:…read more I had a serious electrical issue where the source of the problem was complex. I knew I needed the "A" team.. I am extremely grateful to Arvy at Oakwood Electric & Generator as he got right to carefully and methodically sourcing the problem and that wasn't easy because although my interior electric had an unknown cause of a dead short from over 15 outlets, Arvy found the source of the problem on the exterior switch on the porch that had burned. (Clearly very serious!) He also checked many other outlets and made sure I was going to be ok after the repair. Clearly Arvy and Oakwood Electric are the "A" team and I am very grateful to the smart efficient work but also for caring for my safety. I highly recommend Arvy and the team at Oakwood Electric & Generator in Westmont . Thank you!

After reading all the reviews about Oakwood, I decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did. They first came out and provided us an estimate of the costs - which was good b/c then I knew which ones I would book immediately vs wait on. I then was able to schedule them to come out a week or two later for the work. I had quite the laundry list of items and they were here about 8 hours (1 to 2 people). At the end of the day, it was a costly day, but to be honest - not as bad as I expected - given how much I had them do. They provided me a source of comfort knowing that my electrical needs were being taken care of in a professional and safe manner. I thought the workers were really nice and did a great job. I would recommend Oakwood to anyone and I would use them again.

The solarium atmosphere is stunning, the fountain is charming, and the greenery is lush and thoughtfully curated. From a design and aesthetic standpoint, it's incredible -- easily one of the most visually appealing dining spaces I've been in. The food was... good, but uneven. We started with the cheese and fruit platter, which was delicious and well done. The Caesar salad, however, missed the mark for me. And not because of the dressing -- it actually seemed like the lettuce had been freshly washed (which I appreciate), but it was still holding a lot of residual moisture. Unfortunately, that excess water diluted the Caesar dressing and left the salad soggy. That said, the croutons were to die for -- and that's saying something, because I usually hate croutons. For entrées, my husband ordered the salmon and I had the lobster roll. The lobster roll was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and adding the caviar was the perfect touch. The salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted good, but it was nothing memorable. To be completely honest, it felt like something I could (and likely have) made at home. Well executed, just not special. Where the experience really fell apart for us was the service. Our server was absent for much of the meal and rarely checked back in. After we finished our entrées, he returned to clear the plates and apologized, explaining that he had been speaking with his manager. While that could be true, I spent many years working in the food service industry, and it's hard for me to understand why a manager would pull a server away from an active table for a prolonged conversation. Maybe that's what happened -- but regardless, it was a significant miss. Between the soggy salad, the standard salmon, and the spotty table service, I don't think we'll be returning. There are simply too many other places where a $200+ dinner feels more justified and better executed. I truly wanted to love this place -- the setting alone almost won me over -- but unfortunately, the overall experience didn't live up to the atmosphere.
