I found the obscure bulb on Amazon, and ordered it only to find that the bulb change did not fix the problem. I called Panache and spoke to Alex about the problem and the difficulty of getting a 6- 7 foot light in for repair. She suggested that I send photos and her diagnosis was that we might need a new dimmer box - very reasonable on Amazon. She even sent the link and told us how to determine whether that was the problem. She kindly saved us much time and money. We would use her again in a heartbeat. It is not often that you find someone so honest and helpful.

I went to several big box stores to find something comparable with no luck. I resorted to buying a fill-in lamp and ordering 2 more lamps from different retailers to hopefully land on one and return the others.

Nevada was so helpful and sweet. Everyone at the store understood my grief over breaking my lamp. I am so happy with our new lamp and my husband says he likes it even better than the 1st! Thank you!

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?
