I inherited three lamps and brought them to A Shade Better for new shades. They were very helpful and I found 2 great shades in the shop and had a custom one made for a 1960s Lucite Lamp. The shades are great quality and I found the prices were not very different than what I would find at a big box store. I love supporting small businesses who do good work and this place is one of those!

We found this store from Google search and went there yesterday. We are impressed with the selection of shades. The lamp shades are very high quality made. We found one that fit in our contemporary style kitchen. Highly recommended! Be sure to check their open days and hours before you come.

A Great Find! We looked at so many stores for a lampshade that would work with the lamp we built from a basket. After months of frustration we were told about A Shade Better. What a find… if you can find them. Blink and you just drove past them. Basically, it is a small shop full of lampshades and if one of those doesn’t work for you, they’ll custom create one for you!!! Months of frustration gone in two days… the time it took to have a custom shade made. And the price… no more than what we were looking at for the ready made ones. Selection, service, value and they have a fun sense of humor, too. PS — Be sure to check their open days and hours. They are not open every day.

If you’re looking for a lampshade, this is THE place to go. The building is a bit out of the way in a very nondescript strip area, but worth the trip. They have a huge selection, but it you want something you can’t find, they’ll make it for you. We had made our own lamp and looked everywhere for a shade, before we were referred here. The people who manage the store were very nice and helpful. They came up with a basket of fabric swatches and they had just the right one. In two days, my custom lampshade was done and looks great! And the best thing was that it wasn’t any more expensive than lesser shades that we saw at Target.
