Completely misleading website
January 28, 2021

Website has misleading ship times!

We canceled our order with another company who sold the same lights, because this site said the items will ship in 2 days. That was 6 weeks ago. Called yesterday, didnt get a call back. Their customer service is horrible. Super frustrating... I'd leave 0 stars if that were possible!

Beware of open box offer!
January 21, 2021

I received my Kate spade light today and not only was one of the flowers broken but it is missing a bolt to put it on the light. It's no wonder they say non returnable! By open box they mean damaged. The price should have been much less. It is probably useless and was still quite expensive. I wish I would have looked at the bad reviews before ordering g save yourself and don't buy from these crooks.

Horrible Experience!
January 21, 2021

Absolutely horrible experience with this company. The first light I ordered never arrived, they said it was backordered and kept pushing back the delivery dates. I decided to cancel this and find another light that arrived to my house completely shattered. I spent two days on the phone trying to get a replacement item shipped from their warehouse. I was told by one agent that the replacement was on the way, another agent they would only issue a refund, and another who said the light was now out of stock and that I'd have to find a new light. I ended up having file a dispute with my credit card company to get a refund. Absolutely terrible company, definitely avoid using them for any lighting needs!

I have been trying for 3 weeks to resolve an order I have made over 2 months ago. I was told six weeks after order that manufacture cancelled order due to length of time it was out of stock, but I could place a new order. I said I would go elsewhere to get it. Two weeks later, I get an email the item will be shipping in 10 days and my credit card was charged immediately. I contacted customer service both by phone and email to say stop the order or provide a return label. They said they would send return label, but they inadvertently sent label for a previous item I had already received and was keeping. So I continued to email and call them to let them know. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get through on the phone, and nobody has replied to my four emails to them.

This has yet to be resolved. With this type of customer service/access/follow-thru, I will NEVER order from them again. I have wasted hours on hold with over two dozen calls.

Go elsewhere for your purchase!

I have waited three months for a (very expensive) chandelier to arrive at no avail, and several promises to deliver, My bank account has been charge (charged & credited) several times, When I call customer service, they bump the delivery date each month... I beginning to suspect they'll take an order appearing as if in stock, only to acquire your e-mail; I receive weekly advertisement for products not related to my paid for order, but nothing regarding my order.

Don't buy from this company!
October 1, 2020

Recently I have purchased 3 very expensive pendant lights on line, but due to the poorly packaged one of the glass was broken when arrived. I have been contacting and emailed their customer service all I got back was wait Or transfer your call to an voicemail, It has been 8 days since, very terrible customer service. Go somewhere else to shop, this company is totally rude!

I ordered a light from them. My husband who is very handy and has installed all our lighting, was installing their light and it cracked. The glass was too thin for the amount of pressure required to screw it into the base. I called the company who stated it arrived in an unbroken condition, but I could try to submit a claim and I had to fill out a form and wait to see what they said. I decided not to do it because it did arrive in perfect condition. So all I did, was write a review that the glass broke when my husband screwed it to the ceiling and would not recommend the light. I did not break any guidelines. I went back to look to see if they published my review and they did not. Only positive reviews are listed.

What a mess!
August 7, 2020

I purchased two small lamps from them - total value $175. One of the boxes had the sound of broken glass so I decided to not open either and just do a return. After several weeks I finally got a return label. Two weeks after confirmed receipt of the return I still don't have a credit. Stay away from this company at all cost! I am glad I didn't spend more. Hopefully my credit card company will back things up.

They sent a lamp with missing parts (the one needed to plug it in). Their sales person never called me back. Their customer person blamed it on the manufacturer, then acknowledged that this happens often and promised to get back to me within 3-5 days... and I never heard from them. Now they are not answering emails or returning calls. I will NEVER turn to them for any product again.

HORRIBLE COMPANY
May 18, 2020

I would never ever use this company.
Not only is customer service horrible they take forever to refund your money on returns even though they have the product.
Agents are useless and think you are as well.

Worst return policy I have ever see,

They take your orders but don't fulfill it
September 27, 2019

They just want to draw you to their website even though they do not have the stocks to fulfill your orders. They want you at their website so that you can purchase other items. They let you wait and wait and wait and after repeated calls, they finally admitted that they do not have the stock.

No help with a special order
August 28, 2019

I needed a replacement piece of glass and they told me that that color can't be sold if I had the color of chandelier I had. I moved into a new house and I guess the old owners had something special. They had two different colored glass pieces in the chandlelier. I just wanted them all to match but they said they could not sell me the color that was installed in my house. Just weird and rude service.

Don't buy from this place please
February 23, 2019

Don't buy from this place please. I bought a $2,750 ceiling light and after 13 months the light is defected, 2 of the metal wire was broke and fall, half is still hanging on the ceiling. Try to contact them for help with order parts and look like they don't want to help because of little thing like this. And they told me to call direct to the factory to order and i did, but the factory said they don't sale for individual customers, i have to order thru the company that bought from and i got back to them and asked for their help but no one answered. Very disappointed for their service.

Shop somewhere else
October 9, 2018

Do not order from this site! The merchandise is not what it seems and when you go to return it, they charge shipping and a restocking fee! Very deceptive! It says specifically you will be refunded the total amount minus shipping... then about 10 paragraphs later they say that some of their suppliers charge a restocking fee. They don't mention this until very end of the return policy, way after the 3 steps to an "easy return"

I waited 7 hours for a delivery that never showed up. To make matters worse, they charged me for this delivery. Worst customer service ever. I will never buy anything from this place again and suggest everyone does the same.

DITTO: Run-around on returns
April 25, 2018

They deceptively write "Easy Returns" on all product pages & through checkout, but what they don't tell you is that this is a sleazy button that when clicked provides "fine print" if it can be returned. The item-specific information is clearly hidden away on purpose, instead of being in the listing. I found out the hard way trying to return a lamp that was the wrong size. When they finally accepted the return, it took 3 weeks after their receipt of the item to refund my money!
