I usually hate shopping for lampshades, I really do, but Harry of Lamp and Shade Gallery made it an excellent experience. I brought in a classic Baldwin that wanted a very unique shade indeed and Harry took the time to not only find me an unusual and perfect shallow shade, but also offered an alternative to the overly-long spire that came with the piece, giving me a shorter piece that put the shade in just exactly the right place. All on the Saturday before Christmas!The recipient of this gift liked it so well she wanted a picture even before the plastic came off the shade. Absolutely the best service I’ve ever had with a lampshade purchase.

DO. NOT. SHOP. HERE. (Unless you like breakage and violence.)Brought in a mid-century Danish glass lamp that needs rewiring. Harry (the owner) was more interested in joking and talking than in repairing. He finally said I should go to Fun Antiques in Cambridge: Its where I go when I cant fix something. Then he dropped the irreplaceable hand-blown cased glass lamp base on the floor.I picked up what I could and went to Fun Antiques as suggested. They referred me on to Restoration Services in Arlington, who can apparently work miracles with broken glass. They sent me back to Harry to retrieve any small bits of glass still there. Thats when it got ... hairy.Initially Harry said hed pay for it. So when I went back I said Id send him the bill from Restoration Services. How much?, he asked. Dont know. Then Ill repair it. Harry, you break things, I dont trust you to repair anything. I turned and left and his wife screamed, HARRY! because he was running after me. I turned and he threatened me to beat me up.I left (with the few pieces they had managed to salvage). Total cost? In the hundreds of dollars, all down to the owner of this shop.DO. NOT. SHOP. HERE.

One of the most enjoyable shopping experiences I can remember. The owners, husband and wife, were perfectly charming, extremely knowledgeable and left us feeling like we had just met our long lost cousins. The selection of shades was abundant and the owners have very good taste. I can not express how happy this shopping experience has been.

Primarily lamp shades and very nice ones at that. A few very exclusive artistic kind of lamps. Take a look at the hurricane style of lamp!

Completely unhelpful and rude. Just sat and stared at when when I entered the store. When I asked for some guidance they pointed me to a corner of the store. When I asked about sizes they barked at me that the sizes were all marked. It was surreal. I walked out. Dont go here.

Great Mom & Pop storefront business. Many shades in stock plus table lamps for sake, but the owner fixed a broken floor lamp I brought in while I waited and then sold me a new shade to replace the old one. Great neighborhood shop.

The owners were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to suggest the proper shade for my lamp. I was delighted to have discovered this hidden gem and plan on visit again soon.Thank you Harry and Charlotte!

No longer able to make simple repairs. Our lamp needed the switch replaced. They referred us to a hardware store that we have found unsatisfactory.

Good lamp stores are more and more difficult to find nowadays. Lamp & Shade Gallery on Belmont Street on the Watertown - Belmont line is a great place to know about. They have an extensive selection of shades, they sell lamps, and they do repairs. Weve bought shades from them and have had several lamps repaired. My sense is that if they dont have what you want that theyll do their best to get it for you. The owners are super helpful and charming - its a pleasure to do business with them. Highly recommend.

Owners have excellent taste, explain their choices well, and do a great job with their work.

Delightful, run by a mom and pop duo for forty years. There is nothing about lamps and shades that this couple doesnt know.

Rude, unwilling to do a simply job Prices are outrageous. Do NOT go there.
