LIGHTING & LAMPSMFG CO INC

I was extremely satisfied -- great product, service and price. Over the years, I've bought several other items, so here's more detail/perspective: Although there are dozens of lighting stores all over the place, I made my first 1-hour round trip to Lighting & Lamps when they were featured for having great prices on Channel 5's Chronicle, a few years back. I?m a ?value? shopper, and they have excellent products and outstanding customer service/expertise, all at prices that beat the competition -- and I?ve shopped most of the big-name lighting stores. I?ve gone to Lighting & Lamps for inexpensive items (lamp shades), expensive items (a Hubbarton Forge chandelier), wedding gifts (Simon Pearce ? they also have Waterford!), moderate lighting (ceiling fan/light, floor lamp and exterior lights they recommended from a lesser-known manufacturer), and, like most recently, for repairs (replaced wiring and electrical components in several antique lamps). The store is not large or fancy (low overhead!!), but they have an exceptional amount of product on display and are experts at guiding you as you browse. Anything they don?t have in stock can be easily ordered; they really know lighting and are able to pull out catalogues of different manufacturers at various price ranges to match what you?re looking for. While it?s a long trip for me, it?s easy to find at the Rt. 3 Furnace Brook Parkway exit in Quincy. As Chronicle said, it?s a real gem -- well worth the trip, particularly if you?re doing construction or remodeling and want great prices along with expert advice. I also have a builder friend who buys most of his lighting there, because they offer such a broad range of products/price points to meet both high-end and low budget needs.

I've done work myself and with interior designers on different projects (who also use L&L, by the way) and that is for good reason: Go to the fancy showrooms, play with the lights....THEN go to Lighting & Lamps -- they may not have it hanging up, but I'll bet they know all about it. It's just 2 guys, Chick (short for Charles) and Joe, who both know their stuff and want to help you out. It is the 'personal touch' that keeps people coming back to this place!!
