A light fixture which has been on my home for at least 50 years was in bad shape. The salt air had turned the inner workings to a dusty pile of crud. I loved the light fixture and did not want to give up on it. After a bit of sweating and swearing, it was removed from the wall. Some careful vacuuming removed five decades of crud. A bit of penetrating oil and the light part of the fixture was removed.
I am willing to take a good run at fixing just about anything. A long search online did not yield the correct parts. Fleming's in Cohasset said they'd take a look. Frank agreed that the light was worth saving. He provided me with an estimate and said it would be ready in less than two weeks. A week later, the phone rang. My light was ready. About a minute before closing, I received my light. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was first rate.
My light is now back in business for another 25 years. I recommend Fleming's and vouch for them 100%. Great service, beautiful craftsmanship, and a great selection of lights that look like they were made to hold up to the salt air of the South Shore.

A gem of a find in the Village. Convenient location, excellent selection, and fair prices. The customer service was excellent and we continue to be happy with the high-quality of the lighting fixtures we ordered.

After having a favorite lamp rewired at Flemings, it kept blowing out lightbulbs. I took the lamp back to see why and the gentleman told me it wasn't their rewiring but I was using " inferior " lightbulbs. I asked him to recommend which lightbulbs to use and did they have any. They didn't have the wattage I needed so he said he would order some for me. I gave him my information and was told they would be in in 4 or 5 days and they would call when they came in.
After 2 weeks I called the store to see where the lightbulbs were. The woman who answered said she didn't know but would find out and call me right back. I'm still waiting for the call. Obviously the conclusion I've come to is the bulbs were never ordered and they didn't have the common courtesy to get back to me. Either it was too insignificant an order for them to bother with, or were thinking what if these bulbs didn't solve the problem with my lamp blowing out lightbulbs. Then their rewiring of my lamp would prove to be inferior and it wouldn't be because I use "inferior" lightbulbs.

Flemings in Cohasset is the best lighting store south of Boston. For such a small store they have an amazing selection of pendants, sconces and ceiling lights. The owner is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and they let you take the lights home for a day or 2 to make sure it fits your space. They carry an extensive selection of Juliska lighting (as well as the dishes)and had exactly what I was looking for.
It is very difficult to imagine the lighting from a catalog or the internet and being able to take it home to try it made all the difference. They also have a great selection of lampshades and will help you find the correct size to freshen up your current lamp base. Highly Recommend!

Went in the other day looking for a gift for a friend. I seems I'm invisible because I could not get anyone to help me. The weren't busy, only one other person in the shop. So I'm not sure what the problem was. After awhile I left. Very rude!

This is probably the worst example of customer service I have ever encountered. Despite having been in the store numerous times, purchasing various items, I was floored by the owner's attitude toward a return. I received a Christmas rug as a gift on Christmas which did not go in my home. The rug was untouched until today when, post surgery, I went into exchange for something else. Initially, I was told that I could only have half of the purchase price of the rug because all the Christmas stock was on sale.
If I wanted to purchase something on the Christmas mark down, I would have to accept half price for the rug. After a lengthy and convoluted conversation with another employee, the owner begrudgingly gave me a store receipt for the full price. I left the store vowing never to return. I will give my friend the receipt. Surely there is better customer service than what was represented here!
