Decent looking products without anyone interesting in assisting with a sale. I asked two people who ran in the other direction and said they were already busy - no further offers to help later on, etc. I now have a few pictures (from your store - thank you) of types we need for our place here and for our other house in Rehoboth. Will work with another place I know of who aren't too, too busy to turn away a client.

A great place to shop for electrical parts. Although the counter closes at 3pm the showroom floor assistant helped me the best she could. I appreciate the help, kindness and knowledge of the employees.

Gave a call to ask for a very specific product usecase not related to electrical, but requiring similar components. I spoke to a tech named Rolando who was incredibly helpful, courteous and knowledgeable and was able to get me two part numbers I needed quickly, and route me to their availability in Chantilly, where I am going to be on my way to now in order to get the product. Very satisfied with my experience calling.

They don't want your business. Called today to schedule appointment for new home construction lighting. As I was trying to describe our unusual needs to the salesperson, I was repeatedly interrupted. During our brief conversation it became clear the sales person was trying to find reasons not to meet with me. I was asked a series of questions, including technical specs for our rooms, which in this case don't matter (I was never given the opportunity to explain). After the third attempted obstacle from the salesperson, I gave up. Clearly they're too busy for new customers.

They have the best looking lights in the show room, and the staff is able to walk you through the process. I thought i would like something and after discussing the situation, i ended up with something else that i love. my business has also used them for the purchase of industrial lighting. The pricing was very good, and the quick turnaround made the difference.
