A Shade Better

Shedding Light on Lampshade Replacement
Great selection of lampshade sizes, shapes, and colors. Of the ones I was looking at — their largest — none were more than $ 60. I need replacements for three lamps, but decided to stop in to see what they offered even though I didn’t have the lamps, shades, or the shade measurements with me.
They recommend bringing the lamp in case they don’t have the exact shape, size, or color shade that you’re looking for. That’s the smartest way, but since I have three lamps — and two of the three are ceramic and breakable — I’ll start with bringing in the lampshades or measurements. Shades are their thing, but they do have maybe a couple dozen lamp bases, too. Also have the very small shades — those that slip over an elongated flame-​shaped light bulb — in the expected neutral colors, plus black, dark green, deep red, and a natural-​colored leopard print.
Don’t overlook sale items at rear of store. Different sizes/​colors/​shapes. Also saw a few very small shades reduced to just 4.00 from regular 15 – 20.00.
My suggestions: If bringing just lampshade measurements, for round shape you’ll need height, top diameter and bottom diameter. If square, rectangle, or oval, in addition to height measurement, I’d recommend outlining top and bottom on newspaper if you’re hoping to find something close.
Definitely worth stopping in. As of May 4, 2012, open Monday through Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm.
