Fleming’s Lighting of Cohasset Village

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!

After months of calling, waiting, more calling and waiting… I give up. I had been looking for clear, blown glass pendants and found a suitable pendant at Flemings made by Simon Pearce. I love their work and have their glassware, bowls, vases, and pitchers. The pendants, however have been frustrating. They do not match well enough to hang together over the kitchen island, and after attempting several different pendants, it just isn’t happening. Yes, I understand that blown glass is unique, but my glassware from Simon Pearce is very uniform, so please save the blown-glass-can’t-ever-be-the-same nonsense for someone who doesn’t know better. I have been told by the store to just «sit tight» and they would «get back to me». I have called repeatedly for months and still get the back burner treatment. These were incredibly expensive lights and I regret purchasing them. The store does not want them back, nor have they honored their word of finding a pair that is matched.

I find that the owner of this store to be the most impersonal, people-​unfriendly person I have ever run into. I cannot believe that he ever finds enjoyment working with the public.
Going into flemings with its scowling propierter is just about the very last thing I would wish to do.

It was off to Flemings I went the other day to search for a new shade for an antique marble lamp we love and as I knew I would, I found the perfect one.
This store in the heart of pretty Cohasset Village touts itself as a lighting store. And indeed if you’re in need of anything having to do with lamps, sconces, chandeliers and the like you’ve truly come to the right place.
The choices are seemingly endless no matter what area of your home you might be interested in illuminating inside or out.
The staff is incredibly helpful no matter how big or small your needs might be. Beyond lighting however I’ve found myself here on more than one occasion.
This can be a great place to find a special gift as I did not too long ago. Friends who are getting married next weekend like Mariposa metalware and so it was here I found what I think will be a nice gift.
They also sell some things made by local artisans which is another nice touch with a nod to the community.
Flemings does repair work on metal including sterling silver. While we haven’t tried that service, we know someone who has. These days I don’t know who else is doing this kind of much appreciated craftsmanship.
I plan to bring a pair of sterling candlesticks that belonged to my parents which sadly have gotten dented. They will restore, replate and make any silver you have look like new and they guarantee their replating work for 25 years. Hello!
Flemings is a unique store that’s been around town since 1931 offering a variety of home products and services with the kind of attention from staff that otherwise feels like a lost art in America.

Nothing here comes inexpensively however. The lampshade was pricey, I’ll admit. But for the type of great, local, individualized service I think it’s worth it.
