One of The most friendlier stores in Columbus OHThey have a great variety of Lamp shades and the stuff you need in order to make the lamps in your home looks amazing They will go out of their way to make sure you are a satisfied customer They are friendly knowledgeable and accommodating

We shopped around Columbus for a floor lamp that was unique and quality made, and we found it there! Mary Anne was great at customer service, switched out the fineal (sp.?) for one we prefered, threw in a 3 way light bulb, and adjusted the wire height as well. The shop has LOTS of other cute decor items. We will be back for sure.

Talk about specialty stores. This is very specific, eh? But, it's true; the lighting you choose does change the whole feel of your home. I haven't quite mastered lamps. I consider most of the lamps I've seen to be stuffy or odd, if I'm even cognizant of them at all. When I was shopping for lamps for my new place, I found the prices at this store to be out of my range. I wasn't willing to pay that much. But they did have a wide selection and were very personable. I noticed that they carry more than just lamps as they had some small gifts and home accessories including a selection of pillows, ornamental plates, and potpourris. Plus, if you're really into lamps, they have decorative finials (the little screwy piece that connects the lamp shade to the lamp). They also have miniature shades for chandeliers. If your lamp is broken, bring it in. They'll see what they can do. In fact, they recommend bringing your lamp in if you're looking for a new shade so that instead of imagining what the shade will look like on your lamp, you can try the shades on for size. The Lamp Shade has been around since the early seventies (at a different location), and people really do come from all over Ohio to sample the wares. They have a variety of styles, the largest selection in central Ohio. I can't say I understand it, but they do know their business.

I had passed this store a few times on Gallery Hop and passing through the Short North on outings other times. This time I decided to check it out and duck out of the extreme cold weather. The ladies were genial and patient as I wandered around the little store, thawing out and asking questions about the business, the lamp shades and how things worked. At their current location they've only been there for a few years, but in their original location in Bexley they've been there for 33 years. Many types of lamp shades are sold at this store from silk, linen and hardback shades to drum shades to chandeliers. I was intrigued by the half shades. Best use would be for wall scones or any other wall lamp. Offered are also lamp "treats", or you could call them makeovers. You can bring in your lamp and they can upgrade that old shade. In my opinion, this would be more of a store to bring that heirloom lamp rather than the cheapo that you got at the retail store as the items are rather expensive but also high quality.

I brought in a busted antique lamp to have it completely rewired and to have the switch replaced. Although I felt like the price was a little steep, the finished product was worth it and I'm confident that my lamp is wired safely. They also cleaned the glass on the inside of the lamp which was a nice touch and let me pick out the cord color. The switch they picked was also a perfect match and kept the original antique look of the lamp. I will return if I ever find another old lamp that needs refinished.

Excellent service. Let me take home a $75 shade to try before I custom ordered a different color. They have everything. Love this place.

This store makes me laugh. Just in case you're wondering, if you're in the market for a lamp shade, this is your store. I really didn't ever think of lamp shades as being so in demand that they would solicit their own store entirely. So funny! But nevertheless, it's been here a while and must do well. Big, fat, skinny, white, red, round, square or roundsquare they've got any and all lamp shades that you could possibly require. Semi-pricey if you're used to shopping at the likes pf Garden Ridge or JoAnn's for your home decor needs like me. :)

Awesome with a side of terrific ! They have the taste, and the expertise. They have so many beautiful lamps and they will suggest a nice shade that fits the style of your lamp. They also repair lamps and they do excellent work. The place is a gem !

Excellent, excellent customer service. Our cats broke a glass lamp shade to a lamp that belonged to my mom who passed away in February. It had a lot of sentimental value to me and I was very disappointed that I couldn't seem to find the right lampshade anywhere. Marianne was wonderful, extremely helpful and not only tracked down the right shade, when she learned it was discontinued she was still able to find me one, very quickly at that. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this business. I felt like they valued me and went above and beyond.
