The’ve Done and exceeded my expectation restoring my great grandmother lamps, when I used to work for UPS I had a few customers mentioned them years back and sure enough they didn’t disappoint. I honestly thought they were just going to the wiring and replace a switch didn’t expect them to fully restore it and since one of the lamps switch is missing they fabricate it from the other one and replace both of those switch. Couple years back my great grandmother replace one of the lambs with wiring from friend of a family who is learning to be electrician and he just remove all the switch cheap wiring and because these limbs are a multilevel they all come on at the same time plus the bottom was falling apart. My great grandpa Who served in the army and is no longer with us bought these lamps for my great grandmother when they sold their house and move to co-op from the 80s. To see the look and expression in her face she almost tears up because not only that you fully restore them and clean it but it’s just like they first had it years back. Words cannot express the gratitude and thankful I am to restoring these two antique lamps. When I used to work for UPS doing my route there is a reason why people mention them and I highly recommend while that you were looking to buy some antiques or restoring antiques lamps I highly recommend checking them out first not to mention they got pretty interesting antiques there if you’re looking for something again highly thankful and really love and recommend them just like my other former customers at UPS
