i brought to Harold's an expensive vase that I'd purchased to have them make it into a lamp. Not only did they not call me when it was ready--when I called to check on it they said it'd be ready for two weeks--but they also put on a really old-looking power cord. I've since had two interior decorator friends comment on the lamp and ask me where I got it done, as they can't believe that Harold's put a 1960s-looking cord on this gorgeous vase. The faux bronze cap they used on it also just doesn't complement the piece and looks cheap. I wish I'd brought the lamp elsewhere!
