Wow! Today I visited The Lamp Shader for the first time because I needed a shade/harp/finial to go on a vintage floor lamp I purchased at an estate sale. Don helped me find the perfect shade and spent a lot of time showing me all of the options for shades and finials. He also took great care in figuring out what the height of the harp should be so that the right amount of the "candle" is exposed. I appreciate the attention to detail and can't say enough about their friendly service and expertise. I will definitely be back and recommend their shop to anyone who needs anything lamp related.

It went very well, all it needed as a new socket. But then I bought new shades also which was more money.

The Lamp Shader is a great store. I've gone there in the past to replace the shades on 3 other lamps and the finial on one of the lamps as well. I was very satisfied then and am now. The salespeople are all very friendly and have a great eye for what would go best with a lamp. Be sure to bring your lamp into the store for the best match. They will be able to point out various aspects (height, proportion, etc.) that have to be considered for a shade/lamp combination. The store has a test area where they will try out various shades on your lamp. After you've narrowed it down to a few, they'll turn off the lights in the test area so you can see how your lamp will look with the new shade. This time around, I purchased a pair of shades and replacement harps because the harps I had were not the right size.
I can't recommend this place enough. They have a huge stock of high quality shades, they really know their business and the service is excellent. It's located a block west of Waukegan Road on MaClean. There's a small parking lot and entrance in the back.

I checked Angies list and found the lamp shader store. They were friendly, professional, and completed the work in less than a week.

The experience was very positive. The woman that owns the shop greeted us and explained what the problem might be, how much it would cost, and when the lamp would be ready to pick up. When we returned for the lamp, she remembered us and treated us as friends, not just customers. The work was done very well and the lamp now works great.

This Lennox ceramic lamp was caught before it hit the floor, but the lamp shade was hanging at an angle, the bulb portion was slumped over and the base was loose from the ceramic part of the lamp. It was a mess. A realtor told me about The Lampshader and I called on 9/08. I was really worried because I was planning to put my condo on the market in a few days. I explained my problem and the man who answered said to bring it in and they would see what they could do. I took it in that afternoon and the next morning at 10:00 I got a call that it was ready! These are the nicest, most accommodating people to deal with! Both times I was there they were busy and I still cannot believe the great service! The cost was $25.50 which I feel was very reasonable. They really know lamps and lampshades here and have a good selection of both. I highly recommend this company!!!
