Hamza was excellent at guiding us for the selection of our vanity. He provided all the pricing and information we needed to make an excellent choice. We are very happy with the quality of the product and the final result. Thanks to the entire team!

I have a beautiful expensive lamp that I needed fixed - the chord had broken off. Andy at the repair desk was so kind, friendly and helpful. He was able to repair the lamp on the spot in no time and was very gracious about the cost. That caliber of service and human-ness is hard to come by these days. Thank you Andy!

A great store for anything related to lighting. They have a huge selection of lamps, for any room or taste. Hundreds of models are available in store to look at and choose from, and there are hundreds more that they can order for you. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
