I've been into this store a few times and have had excellent customer service and was greeted with kindness. If your experience was less than expected, I'd definitely try it again as maybe you or that worker was having an off day. (as we…

Looks like the owners paid to clean up their negative reviews.

Very Rude!!! Will not go back!

I can't believe this place is still open! by Sally U on 6/26/2012 via Insider Pages
Bette Smith giving her awful store 5 stars is unbelievable! She herself is the rudest battle axe of them all. Both she and her husband should have retired years ago!

Attempted rip off by eve b on 9/27/2011 via Insider Pages
A few years ago I had the exact same experience which happened to Double Trouble in 2010. I too entered Dave Smith's with a vintage lamp needing a shade. The clerk kept directing me towards pairs of shades....yet I only had one lamp! I…

Good service. by carol burrows on 8/17/2011 via Citysearch
Hubby and I walked in with an old broken wooden chandelier and 2 lamps needing shades. Dave was cool with the challenging repair job. Price not out of sight. \r Lady clerk most helpful with shades. In and out in 45 mins. Worth the…

OUTSTANDING! They can do anything! by valentineantiques on 8/17/2011 via Citysearch
I don't understand some of the other negative reviews on this site. I've taken many light fixtures to them over the years for repair, and the results have been wonderful. They have gone over and above my expectations and have always been…

Continually Sub-Par by Babs B on 4/26/2011 via Insider Pages
My husband broke a lamp I loved. When I found out he took it to Dave Smith, I thought, "Why bother?" \r Everytime I've gone in there, it has been a woefully disapointing experience. And this time was was no different. \r Another example,…

Bette Smith, The Owner by bette s on 3/23/2011 via Insider Pages
I am writing this review in response to to reviews of our business that I have read. Dave and I have worked hard to put a business in the Waldo area for people to be proud of and to service the community to our best ability. I have read…

Awful Customer Service! by Emily B on 11/12/2010 via Insider Pages
I would have given this place no stars if it was possible. I called to ask about a vintage light I needed fixed and the woman on the phone could NOT have been more rude. Her answer to everything was "nope can't do it." And when I asked…

Don't Bother! A Total Waste of Time! by Barbie P on 4/27/2010 via Insider Pages
My husband called and spoke with Dave regarding a part for our antique chandelier. Dave told him we should bring it in and he would take a look at it or the employees could help with it. Upon arrival at the store, there were three ladies…

Double Trouble by sue l on 9/30/2009 via Insider Pages
I brought in an antique lamp for which I needed a shade. The clerk kept looking for a pair of shades, even though I kept reminding her that I only had one lamp. I decided on a very unusual, lovely silk shade...rather expensive. Upon…

Are you looking for Expertise? by Mona W on 11/22/2008 via Insider Pages
A couple of years ago I brought a rare antique bronze lighthouse lamp to Dave. It had been lit from within at one time, but I could not figure out how it should be done properly and without diminishing the value of the piece. Dave knew…

Fantastic Experience! by Kay B on 9/29/2008 via Insider Pages
These people have helped me time after time (since the mid-'80's)! I have had a piece of marble set into a table, and Dave lighted it from underneath, for me. I have bought unusual items at an antique shop, and Dave turned them into…

not what it seems by Paula S on 6/7/2008 via Insider Pages
Over priced. Owners are rude. WalMart quality with high priced items. Go elsewhere for the same items. Owner claims to be a real interior decorator. Ask for proof.

Great Store by Melissa T on 5/20/2006 via Insider Pages

Nice Lamps by Carrie P on 2/7/2006 via Insider Pages
