When in doubt, they will help you out…read more When I experienced a personal power outage, I reached out to five electricians. Two Lions Electric were the only ones to respond promptly and with a sense of urgency. From our initial conversation to the completion of the job, their professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care stood out. They made me feel involved and valued throughout the process, treating me more like a family member than a client. I am incredibly relieved to have found a local business that handles both small and complex projects with such expertise and dedication. This was, without a doubt, one of the best customer experiences I've had in over 40 years of living in West Vancouver.

I have been here twice in the last few years and have not left my lamps for repair.

When I said I was shocked at the price, he suggested lowering it to $90, claiming that he had to pay the rent somehow. Still too expensive. I subsequently had the cord replaced for $35.

OR if you simply want to experience the mid century vibe.. then GO HERE! I stopped by today and always get a warm fuzzy feeling in my no no place when I go in. they have it set up so that you can navigate the room groupings with ease. I am always on the hunt for fun dinning room chairs, as most of you know if you have come to a diner party at my house I don't have the best chairs to sit on. I came across a set of faux Saarinen chairs that made me squeel....I think I may be in luv.... It happened so fast the next thing I knew I was spinning uncontrollably like a little child, around and around, and around..... until the shop keep came by and asked me if I needed a hand, the only hand I needed was to help me out of the chair so I wouldn't fall over. needless to say they were a little out of my price range and sadly had to leave them behind... one day I will be back. oh and if you can't make it into their store they always list their wares on craigslist.

The former Vancouver Architectural Antiques, a fixture on Main Street for two decades, was reborn…read moreand rebranded earlier this year with a "renewed" focus on restoring early nineteenth and twentieth century lighting pieces, antique decor, and various architectural elements in their new location. Reopening as Renew Period Lighting & Decorative Arts (aka "Renew Gallery"), the refreshed business is very much in the same mould of its predecessor also from renowned antique expert Eric Cohen. Renew features an extensive and eclectic collection of period lighting and fine antique pieces from all over the world in a more viewing friendly setting and atmosphere. Gone is the retail feel with its relaunch as a formal gallery and wholesaler on a bigger digital scale. The gallery appeals to all sorts of designers, builders, and architects looking for the right pieces including set decorators for Hollywood productions filmed in town. In the back, Renew features a dedicated space for carefully restoring and maintaining many of its complex artifacts to their former glory. The gallery has brought a contemporary twist to its antique business as it adapts to technology and the digital marketplace. It's a beautiful space filled with storied antiques and all sorts of collectables in great shape. It's aiming to be a new and old treasure in the city.

When you deal with one place that has a chain of stores you would think that product, let alone…read moreservice would be consistent around the board. While planning my washroom renovation, this was one of the stops, to see what the better stuff looks like. You can go to your Rona's and Home Depot's all you want for building supplies, but when it comes to faucet's, tubs, shower bases, shower systems, these guys carry a higher end range of product from Grohe to Riobel to Kohler you'll find some good stuff here. The place has a huge showroom, and when I was in here, walking in, amazingly enough it did not feel like a greenhouse, as you do see a ton of lights being displayed. This maybe the prettiest Robinson Lighting showroom I have seen, yet they lack service, most people I find behind a computer behind a counter. And compared to another review of mine at another location, I did not get this here, not even a smidgen close to the attention and service I received at another store. I wasn't even quoted, or given the option of a shower base I was looking for (60 x 30) and said it would take a few weeks? OK are you guys franchised here, cause I just did this transaction a few hours before entering this store. So I was quite confused with the whole matter, at the same time this store, as said, is nicely located, has great selection, and doesn't carry the cheap substitutes you might see in places like going along Bridgeport in Richmond where there are a ton of light stores. If you take pride in where you live, willing to spend more, and not wanting it to look like a cheap addition/renovation where your renting it out, or flipping it on the market, your probably coming here to get something, the only downside is the service, other than that it's not a bad store.

Staff is helpful and seem passionate about restoring lighting and furniture -- both their own projects and anything you bring them.
