Michaels Lamp Studio of Minneapolis, MN has one of the largest selections of unique lamps and lamp shades. Locally owned and operated, we have a team of highly trained lighting consultants and friendly staff to help you select the lighting piece and make your home a reflection of your uniqueness.
I brought in an antique lamp that I needed a shade and finial for. Michael was immediately able to bring out the best two shades that would fit the size and shape as well as style of the lamp. This saved me endless time walking around and trying to figure this out for myself. He also helped me choose the finial. He has a beautiful selection of shades of all different sorts, as well as lamps.

The good thing was that they did the repair in about 5 days. They did give me a warning that by putting this type of dimmer, it may not end up working for very long and their guarantee wasn't beyond 30 days. After about 45 days, it stopped working. They are not the friendliest place. I ended up getting the lamp repaired again, but I had a regular switch put in. I went to a different place. Their service was pretty good. They are not warm and fuzzy there, but they are honest about the fact that it may not work and it ended up not working. They did have the repair done quickly. It initially worked but then it didn't work after 45 days. I probably would not use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Michael's Lamp & Studio Repair about two years ago. They installed a dimmer switch on a lamp that had a broken dimmer switch.

Awful, terrible, miserable. He told us 2 weeks max, and it's been 2 MONTHS! And, still no lamp shade. Do business elsewhere if you care about your lamps. To make it worse, this is the 1st negative report I've ever completed on Angie's. Michael's finally completed the job, and the quality was acceptable. Doesn't excuse everything else, though.
Description of Work: Re-line an antique lamp shade was the task - never performed.

They ground the paint off the two light fixture which was about 100 years old and one of a three chandelier set. They said nothing and tried to escape culpability. They also failed to call me to let me know of the problem or tell me to pick them up. They are worse than worthless!
Description of Work: They were supposed to repair my grandmother's chandeliers. One was a four light and one a two light.

THEY REALLY HAD NO TIME FOR ME. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD NEED TO BE RE-WIRED OR JUST NEW SOCKETS AND WAS HOPING TO GET SOME PERSONAL HELP WITH A NICE LITTLE ANTIQUE. MICHAEL JUST TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $25 AN ARM AND A MONTH. MY REPEATED QUERIES WERE MET BY A NUMBER OF BLANK STARES FROM THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER. A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE IN THE STORE, BUT I THOUGHT PERHAPS I WAS INVISIBLE? GO AROUND THE CORNER TO VINTAGE LIGHTING, THAT'S WHAT I DID AND WAS HAPPY!!
Description of Work: I BROUGHT IN AN OLD EUROPEAN CHANDELIER FOR HELP IN REPAIRS.
