Toni’s Lamps & Shades LTD

He’s a sweetheart of a guy, funny, and this is one of the Honolulu style old nooks and crannies I love to visit! He works 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, has a large selection of lamps for sale, too. Truly Old School! :)))

Thank you Unilocal for leading me to another diamond in the rough. We had two old chandelier lamps from our house that we wanted to refurbish and use. The two chandeliers were old (from the 1930s) but still beautiful and we knew we wouldn’t be able to find anything comparable for a decent price. Enter Unilocal and we find Toni’s lamps… Toni examined both pieces and said… it will take a couple of days but I can do it. He took our name and phone number down and a few days later he called to say the the lamps were done! Fairly priced for the work that he did. He did a fabulous job restoring one of the chandeliers which had some missing glass pieces. Truly amazing work. He accepts visa, cash, cheques.

This is true old School in a great way. The Place is like a lamp museum. fix all lamps is (I Believe: $ 32 plus parts). :)
Had to take one of my large Lava Lamps in there for repair. Looking forward to my return and my Lava. COme on baby light my fire

Don’t let the back street or «Hole in the Wall» appearance put you off! My family has used Toni’s services for years, following him from a previous address and his work is always Top Notch and the prices very affordable! To me this is one of the old gems of Hawaii shops! No frills but great workmanship and honest service!

Based on Randy W.‘s review I visited Toni’s Lamps & Shades on one of my many family visits to Hawaii. Words cannot describe the excitement we have in finding this gem! THANK YOU Randy W. The owners name is Eddie and he is a «Craftsman & Talent» he offers more than just fixing or refurbishing lamps.
On my first visit I had a porcelain Buddha that has been in my family for a few decades converted into a lamp. His work is exquisite, details precise and the quality of service that he offers is RARE to find these days. Since then I brought 2 vases that were antiques made into table lamps, he has the knack to determine the best color and shades for your lamps and they are perfect.
Friends have seen what he has done and transformed 3 porcelain Kuan Yin statues into lamps… magical workmanship. Needless to say, I highly recommend EVERYONE to pay Toni’s Lamps & Shades a visit, you will not regret it.
My sister had two antique Chinese Opera Lanterns converted into hanging lamps, they are dramatic and stunning brilliant pieces now!
Eddie takes pride in his work, he makes pieces of art with passion and knowledge. His craftsmanship is First Rate.
I’ll be having more items brought into Toni’s Lamps & Shades for «Lampification».

Need a lamp restored? Or have an odd object you want made into a lamp? This place is the best for it. I’m super surprised that there aren’t already reviews for it. The shop has been around for decades.
Toni comes from a generation of folks who didn’t buy lamps at the store – they, instead, made things into lamps. While restoration and repair is most of his business, his real art is ‘lampification.‘
Practically anything can be used to make a lamp. From Japanese fish floats to tiki statues, musical instruments to Chinese oil drums. I learned about lamps and saw many of Toni’s creations in my two visits to his shop, while I was getting my lamp restored.
His turnaround time was impressive. He quoted me a week but the lamp was done the next day. Not only did he completely rewire the lamp, replace the socket and other parts, but he also cleaned and polished the body. We matched it with a handcrafted burlap shade and now I have a killer lamp! Super nice guy, and you can tell he really loves his work.
