We found a vintage lamp circa the 70s at Diversity Thrift that needed a lampshade. Searched at…read moreTarget, Home Depot, Amazon, etc. but nothing really suited our fancy. We found Lamp Emporium and the owner was very nice and very helpful. The shades can be pricey (and there are other lamp ensembles/chandeliers, etc. for a pretty penny), but there's a clearance section where we managed to find a lamp shade suited to our tastes and to the lamp, and within our budget. Our lamp was also missing the knob on top of the harp, and the owner was generous enough to allow us to take one from her little stash from previous customers that discarded them. Otherwise that would've been another $5 or so at a Target or Walmart. We brought the lamp in the store to try on the different shades, and the owner noticed the wiring/cable was damaged and was very knowledgeable in telling us how simple it was to repair and what supplies were needed, which Lamp Emporium also stocked for decent prices. This wasn't purely an up-sell, as the owner was genuinely concerned with properly working and good-condition lamps/wires, etc. You could tell she really cared about making sure everything was safe. We ended up buying the additional socket and wire replacement for less than $15, along with the shade. Lamp Emporium really knows their stuff when it comes to lamps, lighting, and the electrical workings behind them. I'd definitely recommend this place, but make sure you know what you're willing to spend first before coming here.

I finally reached out to Old Town to try a local installer. I'm so glad I did. Old Town were great communicators throughout the entire process, showed up on time, were professional, and the project cost was significantly less than what Angi was asking. I will absolutely be calling Old Town for my next project, thank you so much!

My search eventually led me to her, and I'm so glad it did. After I sent over a photo of my broken fixture, she let me know she doesn't sell those, but then went above and beyond: on her own time, she researched and confirmed the exact manufacturer and model number so I could find it elsewhere. That level of selfless expertise (and the kind of person that she is) is hard to find. Highly recommended!

It's always a pleasure to deal with the staff at the Midlothian, VA Reynolds Lighting Supply. I've…read morebeen dealing with them for about 12 years. They helped us design a custom track light system. I've been to the store at least 6-7 times since then, for LED lights, dimmer switches. They can't do enough to please the customer. The person I've dealt with the most is Krista. She is courteous, knowledgeable, professional and really listens. In short, she ROCKS! I've also dealt with April on several occasions and she can always pick up the ball no matter what I ask her. She is a delight to deal with. I would not go anywhere else for my lighting needs than to this Reynolds store. It's obvious to me that the person "at the top" walks the talk! Tom B. in Midlothian

The metal fixture and the shade feel and look cheap and flimsy in person. The color of the shade is described as a deep tan but it is actually grey with green undertones. However, what annoys me the most is that they charged me $29 for shipping and now to return the light I have to purchase a return label from them. I will not be a returning customer. I will stick with buying from West Elm/PB/Article/Target. (Photo attached. Kitchen remodel in-progress - don't mind the mess!) Shades of Light is the shade is pictured on the left and West Elm are the other two. Grey not tan right?! The WE lights were less expensive and FAR more substantial in quality.
