Lamp & Shade Outlet

It is hard these days to find stores specializing in lamp shades. This place is great and worth the trip even if you do not live nearby. The owner is friendly and knows his stuff. Make sure to bring with you the lamp you are shade shopping for. They have a large counter with outlets that you can place your lamp on and try out the kazillion shades they have. Most of their shades are made in the USA too, which I greatly appreciate.
I found the perfect size shade and they custom ordered it in two tone — black on the outside and gold on the inside. They had swatches for tons of color choices, fabrics, and textures. The turn around time was supposed to be 4 – 6 weeks but it was done in 3 weeks.
I began my shade shopping experience at another lamp and shade store in New Jersey that came highly recommended. It has few selections on the floor and much was left to the imagination and looking through catalogs. For that kind of experience I could just shop online. I was thrilled to find Lamp & Shade Outlet for hands on shopping and a large selection.
