I've been in twice and it was the same older man, when I asked a question about one of the items, he gave me a condescending answer- it made me feel like I shouldn't have even asked. the second time I went in it was 20 minutes until close and he closed the door on my face and said "we're closed" talk about customer service OVERALL- good finds in this place but the service ain't it

very sad indeed..i went to the barn many years ago and bought a few things an I recall the man that…read moreran it was very rude....went back this week to see something that really pissed me off. As somebody that works with first nations, i was delighted to see many totem poles and carvings but something did not seem right i asked the guy hey where do you source these from he said up north..at first I'm thinking great i love it when people support local to Canada first nations and was thinking id buy them no problem, i then said were to up north because it was likely that i know the town...he reluctantly said northern Indonesia i was wanting to yell at him right then but i do not need to be arrested. Anyway, even then i still had two items on the counter to buy and was thinking of the third item and he was looking at me saying are you going to take that and my buddy said i was tempted the guy then said well i can't help you then...So with that, i say i will just take the two items i had on the counter. I went to tap my card and he said it will not work i said that's because you have to insert for any sale over 100...He said that would not work and as i am putting the sale through he says you cant press that button i said i just did i know how it works lol my sale obviously went through he said well that usually does not work..so my response had to be i guess you need to be smarter than the machine....ill never send anybody or ever shop there again just another fraud taking advantage of the first nations people by not supporting them but buying knock offs from there culture...this is one shop that should have died in the covid era but sadly real good people with awesome customer service died instead

In total, we have purchased 6 fixtures and couldn't be more pleased with them and the service we received from the staff. First we bought a fixture for our kitchen that didn't work well in the space. The shoppe was more than willing to take take it back even though it was opened and they worked with us to find a better piece. The next time we were there we bought s few more fixtures, including a large one fir our dinning room. After a few weeks we noticed that the organza on the shade was pealing off. I was a bit irritated by this but when I called to complain the staff were amazing and ordered me two more! Not only this, they trusted me enough that I didn't even have to bring in the original shade. I've never seen this type of service. I was very impressed, now I refer everyone there :)

But that is simply not the case when it comes to this lovely antique lighting store. It's a clean, organized shop run by a welcoming patron who knows a lot about the history of the area. It's not overly big, so things are easy to find-- glittery chandeliers, Tiffany style lamps, Art Deco wall sconces-- and nothing is caked in dust (you can actually SEE the lights!). Prices range depending on what you're looking for (as expected), but there's no problem finding the price as delicate tags hang about the room above you like snowflakes. Oh, and don't hesitate to ask him to turn all the lights on. It's spectacular to see everything lit up (even better, go at dusk for an even better view).

They ask if you need assistance and if you decline or say "just looking", they leave you alone to shop. While their selection is not as huge as Universal Lighting, Sescolite or Union Lighting, their prices are cheaper when compared to those other stores. Yesterday, I was on a mission to find a light fixture for an upstairs bathroom. I visited: Home Depot, Lowes, Sescolite, Union Lighting, Universal Lighting, Royal Lighting and a few others scattered on Cartright, and Panet. Spent at least 3 hours looking at lights until a total state of confusion sunk in. I found a light fixture I liked at Panet and comparison shopped at the others but ended up returning to Panet as the price could not be beat. I've purchased the majority of the light fixtures in my home at this store and have found their quality, price and staff to be some of the best out there.

My recent visit was like all the others, easy as a breeze and at great prices. Yes, it is on Avenue Road next to Pusateri's and looks very high end, and indeed sells a lot of high end lighting, but they also sell lighting fixtures for those of us with smaller budgets. If you just walk in, you can get lost and overwhelmed with the choices, there is everything you could ever want and more. However you can check out their website and pick some options before going to the store, or better yet their current flyer with great deals and specials and have a good idea what you want before you get there. Bonus! Royal Lighting has tons of lights in stock, so if you need to get some new lights up quick, you don't have to wait for them to be shipped, just go and pick them up on the spot! My sales rep Raj, who I have been dealing with since 1995, is great and I highly recommend him... so friendly, so helpful. Another great bonus! Almost all the lights I purchased were made in Canada... something you won't see at Home Depot and the other big box stores where everything is made in China or the US. Shop Canadian, shop Royal Lighting, you won't regret it.

We came here to get…read moreinspiration and to check out some lighting IRL instead of just me imagining through Pinterest. We wanted some statement lights over our dining table and kitchen counters. I don't understand why there are such low ratings here. I'm sure many people here are just browsing, and I rather have a sales rep give us the space and only come to us if we need help and seriously find a piece we're considering. So I have no issues with how no one really came up to us. There's a lot of lighting, but personally, not enough contemporary/modern lighting to our liking. We did take some pictures of the few we liked that are more contemporary-inspired. However, we don't love it enough to pull the trigger. The prices for the lighting are very high for the ones we looked at, about $1500 (for that round chandelier) to $5600 (Criss Cross silver lighting). We liked the look of the round chandelier the most. To our surprise, our neighbour has the same one. So loses that unique appeal. Also don't know how we would change the light if it burns out? Lighting is all personal preference. This trip nothing really screamed "this is the one" for us. If you're into other design themes like traditional, industrial, mid-century modern etc, you may find there is more to your liking than the modern/contemporary styles here. I still recommend to check it out though for yourself if you're in the market for lighting.

Their website indicated the fittings were compatible; however, once I had placed the order, I discovered they would not work. I contacted them immediately as the items hadn't been shipped yet. They refused to refund the order, even though the items didn't ship for another week and a half after I had ordered them. So, I now have $400 worth of unopened ceiling fan fittings that I can't use. This company is out of touch with their strict no refund policy on some items--no wonder people shop at amazon. I really wanted to support a local company, but I will never shop there again, and I would caution you against doing so, too.
