No sales push just attentive service. Brought in my beloved old clinic standing lamp from its many years of service at a city Hospital and for decades in my exam room. A big heavy white lamp that shone light on countless patients. It's been a star in my home but needed care. It had been put out on the sidewalk with other old hospital items as they were replaced by new modern pieces. Michael thinks it from the 1950's. He appreciated its history and meaning and explained how it worked mechanically and what he could do. He repaired it within 2 days!!! and truly appreciated this gem of a workhorse! And he carried it out to my car as it was too heavy for me. What a great experience. You won't be sorry to take your business here!

Calls to customer support went nowhere -- all we needed was the correct set of screws to mount the fixture to the ceiling. Maddening is an understatement; and hard to understand from a company of high-end designer lighting.

Come on, team - a set of screws should not be that difficult to send.

Here, you will find the BEST selections of lighting and the most HELPFUL staff ever!!! Circa Lighting is the Four Seasons of lighting stores - I don't think I'll ever find superb service and quality products anywhere else. Our client wanted large Darlana outdoor lighting, which are very large and extremely expensive. She also wanted two fireplace mantle crystal sconces, and three picture lights. Immediately, I thought of Kate Space sconces and Chapman & Meyers cabinet picture lights - both made with quality brass. The showroom manager, Linda, was extremely helpful and provided us an extra 10% off. She took care of our needs quickly and was very knowledgeable. Before the backordered lanterns would arrive, the electrical team realized the lanterns were too large for the patio bifold door opening that the contractors were currently building (and there was actually a code to respect in terms of height). Since they were building the opening of these bifold doors AFTER we ordered the lights, everything changed. I called immediately to cancel, but the lanterns arrived that same day. I spoke to Jonathan and he was super helpful - we were able to order new lights that would fit and follow code for this spot. He even emailed me a variety of options that would work in our space with clickable links, which made the process much easier for me. The exchange was a smooth process and they even waived the return restocking fee as a one-time courtesy. I also spoke with Madison and she was very sweet. Everyone here is so helpful and kind. I'm so grateful this showroom is located in the Bay Area - we are lucky!

We first had the absolute pleasure of meeting Christy three years ago, and she remains one of the…read morebest sales specialists we've ever known. Back then, Christy guided us through purchasing our favorite Louis Poulsen pendant light. Right from the start, her patient and kind guidance made it clear just how deeply she cares about her clients. Beyond her wonderful personality, she is an incredible professional who truly understands both the aesthetics and practicality of lighting design. We knew immediately that we had come to the right place and met the right person! Christy is so genuine and caring. Buying from her never feels like just a business transaction--it's a wonderful experience that naturally leads to beautiful, warm conversations. She has truly set our bar sky-high when it comes to customer service. We also want to give a special shoutout to Ricky, who was immensely helpful when we needed an evaluation for a light we had accidentally damaged. He addressed all of our concerns with great care, making the entire resolution process completely seamless. Thank you so much to Christy, Ricky, and the whole team for being such a joy to work with over the years. We can't recommend them highly enough!

They gave us a polished, professional installation at a very reasonable rate. They were communicative, listened to our instructions, and helped us figure out what additional cords we needed. They even returned the next day to weatherproof the cords. My only qualm was that it was difficult to get in touch with them about taking the lights down. We were given multiple removal dates and eventually had to take some of the lights down ourselves, even though we had paid for full takedown service. Otherwise, we had a great experience and really appreciated the quality of the installation.

The project included upgrading and grounding the wiring and outlets throughout the house, replacing our old fuse box with an upgraded electrical panel, and running new ethernet lines for the home. Tim was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. His team worked quickly and efficiently while maintaining a high standard of quality. They coordinated directly with PG&E on our behalf, making what could have been a complicated project feel straightforward and manageable, and they cleaned everything up thoroughly once the work was complete. Another aspect we greatly appreciated was their timeliness. The work progressed exactly as scheduled, without extensions or unnecessary delays, which made a major home project far less stressful than we anticipated. We are so thankful and grateful for Tim and his crew and highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, dependable electricians.

He did say he had worked on a Stiffel a couple years back and was able to find the part so probably could repair it. And he did! He was able to make it a working lamp.
