Honestly, the customer service here is so awful. I'd really hate to leave such a low rating for a small business during the hard times of the pandemic, but I just don't think Cardello wants any business. I was looking for replacement shades for a chandelier. When we called to ask if they had any, they told us they have a lot of options and could even order something if they didn't have it in stock at the store. Great!
So when we came in to see their selection, we asked an older gentleman where they were. Ha, he said they had too many to show us. What? Ok, could you direct us to where they are? Nope, you're better off going online. This man had absolutely no interest in helping. Not to mention, his mask wasn't covering his nose. Completely frustrated by that exchange, I immediately turned around and left the store. If you don't want my business then you're not getting it, sorry.

We went to the Cranberry location to find a ceiling fan for our dining room. Barb took such great care of us and took the extra time to help us find a custom fit for our space. She showed us many options while keeping in mind we needed something more budget friendly. I would highly recommend patronizing Cardellos. The customer service we were shown is something you just won't get going to any of the retail giants like Lowe's or Home Depot. Thank you again Barb!

Cathy was incredible! She helped lead me to excellent choices and I was beyond thrilled with the attention to detail she took in making my project special. Ask for her everytime.

I don't even believe they even deserve a one star first off! We purchased all of our lights from this place when we bought our new house. The one bedroom ceiling fan light quit working after a few months. Called the store and Cathy told us we needed an electrician to verify it was indeed not working. Paid him to come out. Waited over 2 months to get it fixed only to have the guys cardellos sent tell me they don't have the right part to fix it!
I said why didn't they get us a whole new light fixture. They stated they usually don't do that. I am beyond furious and have got nothing but run around from this place since the initial phone call back on April 5. The customer service sucks and for the prices you pay here you should expect more than what we've have received! I will not be back to this place and will never recommend them

Service and selection is good. Unfortunately, I purchased a floor sample and all the hardware wasn't supplied with the light. I had to return and had difficulty finding the parts. I may have to go back for a third time if the parts don't match the light fixture and have the store order the parts. They tried their best to find pieces and gave me extra pieces, I hope what I have works?
