Just Shades on East 59th Street
Seby I.

Just Shades is a marvelous store on East 59th Street dotted with antique stores. I wanted a small shade for my treasured lamp of a bunny rabbit reading a book. I remembered having bought a pretty red lampshade a few years ago in Soho which was their home till five years ago. This store has a wide range of shades and lamps in all price ranges. I found two lovely small lamp shades in pink and turquoise which were on sale for $10 a piece. Just Shades keeps good records as they had my account on file. I cannot wait to return for another colorful five.

The horror of pulling out a vintage lamp from the box and it's badly damaged shade! The woes of online shopping... I began my quest to get shades re-made for my 1970s Maison Jansen lamps which was not easy. I started local in St Louis, MO to no avail. I searched all the "custom shade makers" online to no avail. They could not match the shape or the gold liner or the dimensions. I wanted an exact replica of the original and was not settling for less. A friend asked their interior designer friend who asked her friend and got back to me - Just Shades in NYC. The process was relatively easy. Turn around time was about 8 weeks. I was surprised to hear when they "got the shades in" meaning they are not made there. Makes me wonder who actually makes them and how I could have cut out the middle man. The cost, oh the COST! Custom shades are obviously not cheap. They're not even expensive. They're exhorbent. Mine are not silk or leather or any fine material. They're big, I guess, but not huge. Each one was $450 or so. Adding soutache to the edges: $125/each!!! Seriously. (I skipped the soutache and am adding it myself). Be prepared to pay UP if you want custom shades but the end result is gorgeous.

Lamps had old boring ecru silk shades - now they have WOW factor!!  Thank you Just Shades!

Once again Just Shades saves the day! We have lamps we bought years ago from an antique shop - great lamps but we always knew the shades were "not quite right". We thought of buying new lamps but I decided I loved the lamps and we happened to be visiting family that weekend in Manhattan. Bingo! Through the tunnel and over to 57th street. Less than 30 minutes later we left the shop with 2 new shades & harps! Love the lamps more than ever with the "correct shades"! FYI you MUST take the lamp so the crew at Just Shades can see what it needs and what looks best! We've purchase shades for some old u unusual lamps the before and it is worth the trip into Manhattan!

Who would've thought shopping in such a specialized store could be so much fun? The ladies behind the counter were extremely knowledgeable and helpful! To echo other reviewers, excellent quality shades, perhaps a bit pricier than I'd hoped but of the best possible quality, so no regrets here. TIP: be sure to explore their sales section where you can find a smaller selection of "damaged" shades for incredibly discounted prices; but most are in pretty decent shape, with only minor flaws that only a well-trained eye will see.

This little shop is overpriced, has bad service and a crappy return policy. Go down to the Bowery instead.

Needed a large shade for a big table lamp and was more than pleased that Marc was so helpful in my quest.

There are so many options to pick up a souvenir from your museum visit! The location of the store is split in three locations, two inside the museum itself 1) directly to the left and down a floor when you enter from the 53rd Street entrance, 2) upstairs on the second floor of the museum toward the east side of the building closer to the second floor museum cafe, 3) directly across the street from the 53rd Street entrance on the south side of the street. They all carry the same items with varying degrees of overlap, the second floor store is the smallest, the store across the street carries more home furnishing items. From postcards, posters and stationery, writing tools, kitchen serving ware and utensils, toys, jewelry, accessories, home decor, books and other printed media, expect all sorts of creative designs. While I want to support art and artists, I think the only downside is that prices are definitely on the higher side, in general NY tourist attractions tend to upcharge so much for even the most basic items (like $8 magnets).

Reckless handling and zero accountability--Destroyed my vintage furniture…read more I am beyond frustrated with the absolute lack of professionalism and accountability from AptDeco. During a recent sale, their pickup team was incredibly rough with my furniture--a Century Furniture piece from the 80s that was a cherished family heirloom. Despite my repeated warnings that their handling would cause damage, they continued to be reckless and completely destroyed the item. I have video and photographic evidence of the item's pristine condition prior to pickup, as well as the damage they caused in real-time. Despite this, AptDeco is now attempting to claim the item was "damaged upon pickup." I saw them ruin this piece with my own eyes. To make matters worse: * Customer Support is a ghost town. Every email is answered by a different person (Von, Alex, etc.), and no one takes responsibility. * The phone lines are a sham. Their listed support number (646-586-9056) disconnects immediately when called. * Unsafe practices. Their third-party partners showed up at my building at nearly 9:00 PM without notice, which is a significant security concern and completely unprofessional. AptDeco has done nothing to resolve the $160 payout for the damage they caused. If you value your furniture or your sanity, do not use this platform. I am currently preparing a BBB complaint and filing in small claims court. AptDeco Management: Contact me immediately to resolve my payout.

After hemming and hawing for all of five minutes and checking across the street if anyone recognized me, I walked in and quickly requested a 45-minute massage. I was impressed with the experience. This place is cleaner than most reflexology Chinese massage places. There's a faint smell of lavander and soft Asian sounding music. The massage tables are new and the breathing holes plushly padded. I've never breathed easier on a massage table. The staff speaks English relatively well and they speak in hushed and respectful tones. The massage itself was about average, but I know from experience that the variation in skill level can be quite large even within the same parlor. The prices are the same as other reflexology places in the area, $38 for a 45-minute massage. I'm gonna have to come back just as soon as I get over the guilt..
