The salesperson, Jody, after searching and realizing he didn't have what I needed, suggested another lighting store and even called to prevent me from making a blank trip. After that store didn't have it either, he suggested going online. I did find the bulbs online and am thankful to Jody for saving me wasted trips and lots of time. He should be the poster child for good customer service. Thanks, Jody!

He also had a very bad attitude when being confronted and called out by his sloppy work. He also refused to properly plug in a wire into an outlet. I told Deen the rain and wind could possibly get into the bubble cover. He didn't care and told me it would not happen. A few days later we had hard rain and wind. The outlet took in some water. We are very disappointed in the quality of work, but we are even more disappointed in Deen's attitude and his unwillingness to take accountability for his work. This was a very bad experience. We will never deal with him or his company again. My family feels totally disrespected.

The new lamps still looked great and after 3 years, we have not had a problem with them. That convinced us to take the old lamps to them to be gussied up as they were showing their age after 25 years. They came back looking good. The main complaint is service at the store front. They don't appear to keep regular hours, but that may be due to the staff appearing to be one man. If you can deal with that, the quality of work is great.

One of the many things I love about New Orleans is the gas lamps that you see throughout the city…read more They are so enchanting with their romantic flickering flame. All these beautiful, iconic lamps are made in the city by Bevolo, which is the oldest and largest manufacturer of these hand-riveted copper lanterns. The company was founded in 1945 by Andrew Bevolo and is still a family-owned business. The copper is mined locally, and each lamp is expertly crafted by hand. You can watch the coppersmiths at work at their showroom located at 318 Royal Street, which is also a museum. Even though the gas lamps are their most popular sellers, they also make chandeliers & sconces. A few years ago, I ordered two of the Original French Quarter lanterns for my home in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, due to earthquakes I wasn't able to install the gas version, so I had to get electric. I was able to find light bulbs that replicate a flickering flame. The salespeople, Kayla Bossi & Brittnee Ulmer were friendly and helpful. My lanterns were carefully packed to protect against damage during shipping. The quality of the craftsmanship is superb.
