Just purchased two dual-bulb sconces and I could not be more pleased. Excellent craftsmanship and customer service as they did a special paint for me that turned out amazing. If you’re in Cleveland/Akron area, take a look at the showroom, it’s incredible and will give you plenty of ideas if you’re looking for an amazing look that’s unique and chic.

My husband and I drove up to Whiskertin from Columbus to buy a lamp we saw on Whiskertins website. We ended up buying two! The quality and craftsmanship of the lamps are simply amazing! They are really more than a lighting fixture; they are works of art! Nick -- the young man who worked with us -- was fantastic. The showroom is worth the drive and we love, love our lamps. Just got them up and already were thinking we need to do another trip to Akron for more! We werent home more than a half hour when we received an email from Glenn at Whiskertin thanking us for taking the time to drive up to the showroom and expressing his hopes that we liked our purchases. I would highly recommend the drive to their showroom! They have such great artwork and a wonderful selection of lighting.

Saw Whiskertin at a Hand Made Market in Pittsburgh. Found the perfect item for my office. I love the idea and craftsmanship behind the skateboard lamp. The guys at the booth were helpful and courteous. Would definitely purchase from them again.

After getting new bedroom furniture, my wife and I decided we need a nice matching set of lamps for the night stands. Problem was, we didnt know exactly what we wanted. We scoured around the internet and threw some high level ideas that we kind of liked towards Whiskertin to see if they could create something similar but also by adding custom glass as the shade (Whiskertin has a good working relationship with an Akron glass company). Colin quickly hit us back and asked some follow up questions and after a couple iterations with minor tweaking and Whiskertin making sure we felt good about everything (price, look, design, functionality etc.) we placed the order. I feel like theres no lamp they cant create so if you know exactly what you want, or if you know you want a lamp but not exactly sure how you want it to look, hit these guys up and they will be able to knock it out for you. Great experience and service. To quote Brick Tamland...I LOVE LAMP.

This is by far the best hand-crafted lighting Ive seen locally. I was able to contact them with a custom light idea for my new home. They shot me back a message almost immediately with an idea and within two weeks they had something ready and EVEN CAME TO MY HOUSE AND INSTALLED IT! Even better than I imagined. Love what theyre doing and excited to see where it takes them next.

Bought the Great Lakes Keg Lamp last year. This year bought the tap handle light. Great work from Glenn and Aaron. They look incredible in the basement bar and everyone who comes over compliments the creativity and look of these lamps. Love this place!!!

Came across Whiskertin at a booth in Akron. I couldnt resist looking and buying a light! They have lighting choices you didnt even know you wanted. Great, friendly and informative service. No worries buying with them, they stand behind their great products.

If you are looking for a completely unique piece for your home, look no further. I recently purchased my second piece from them and besides being top notch quality they are both conversation pieces. Aside from the that their customer service is second to none. You simply cannot go wrong dealing with this company in any manner.

We stumbled upon Whiskertin at the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago and brought home a Jeff Kendall skateboard light. Best drunken street fest purchase ever. We’re sober now and still extremely happy with our decision. Two thumbs up!

Discovered Whiskertin at a booth during Akron Pride and was immediately drawn in by both the creativity and professional production of their lamp pieces. Definitely hadn’t intended on bringing home a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles skateboard lamp, but once I saw it, I knew it had to be mine. The fine folx from the shop wrapped the piece with the utmost care and held it for me until I was ready to go home so I could navigate the Pride celebration with ease. The instructions on setting up the piece were user friendly and included step-by-step pictures (a huge help). I highly recommend these amazing creators and will definitely be purchasing from them again in the future.

Just bought a longboard lamp from the guys at Whiskertin! They had a pop up at Chicago’s Renegade art fair. Couldn’t be more impressed with their work and customer service. Thanks for a great experience and a piece of art that we’ll enjoy for years to come!!!

We had a custom light made from the grill of a Jeep. I was able to meet them at there shop after hours. We came up with ideas for the light. I was contacted quick with a price for the project knowing the urgency for a Christmas Day present. I will continue to promote and due business with them in the future.
