Great selection, great sales leadership, ( Hayley) pricing is based on what you buy, if you have expensive taste, well you will pay for it. however if you don't. Franklin has a lighting for everyone. I enjoyed spending a lot at Franklin. you get what you pay for, and our lighting made a huge difference with our new build home. It will actually feature in new homes magazine sometime this year.

Unhelpful and rude sales staff. My wife and I came in to buy some mini pendant lights for our 12' ceiling. The staff was incapable of understanding our needs and was very dismissive of us. Basically telling us that such long down rods don't exist and extensions cannot be purchased. We tried to shop here to support local business. Since that didn't work out we've taken our business to Wayfair, which by the way has outstanding customer service. @Franklin Lighting, your only possible advantage over online businesses is customer service. You may want to look into who works for you.

We didn't buy anything. It's far beyond our budget.but they have an insane selection of quality fixtures and they're willing to help you even if they can see it's above your range. (No "Pretty woman" moments for me and the wife). When we make that kinda money, we'll be back happily.

Highly recommend this place for your lighting needs. They stand behind their product and their customer service is second to none!

Our realtor recommended Franklin to us. We are nearing the end of building our new home in Lakewood Ranch. We needed to order 3 down rods from Capital Lighting Fixtures. CLF recommend us to do a search locally to find a store that sells their products, Franklin Lighting was on the list. My wife and I stopped in the store to see if we could order the down rods through them and have them sent to our real estate agent.

We were hastily greeted by a sales person, tried to explain our situation, which she really didn't seem interested in. We followed her to the sales desk where there were two other women. The one particular rep snapped we don't have down rods in stock. I tried to explain we wanted to order 3 18 down rods. Her reply, since you didn't buy the lights from us we can't help you.

This would be a simple order, would have helped us since the lights will be hung in the next couple of weeks.instead the store policy is not to help potential shoppers we are going to have to scramble to find another provider who is willing and much more helpful. These reps had no interest in helping, zero customer service skills and in general not very friendly.

As long as we live in Sarasota, which will be for the next 30 plus years. I will relay this story and NEVER have anything positive to say about Franklin Lighting. Absolutely terrible customer service skills!

This particular showroom's merchandise is too tightly packed to see what you are looking at.

We have a new home and bought some lighting here and were so happy with our saleswoman, Dianne H. She was very informative and helpful in my decision making. She had great ideas and was very friendly. Pricing here and selection is wonderful, not only in lighting but also for accessories and paintings. We couldn't be happier!
