I've been rarely scammed, but I was in this case. The item received was plastic and poorly painted. It didn't even come close to looking like the stained-glass item advertised. As I should have antic... See more

This is a fake company- the products…
This is a fake company- the products are cheap resin/plastic figures 5" tall shipped from some international warehouse.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM
If you could rate something a zero, I would rate them a zero. I cannot believe I fell for that website showing beautiful stain glass decorative lighting… I wish I would’ve come here first. Cheap plastic, smelled like fiberglass resin, hot, glued, electrical cord, nonreplaceable light. And then they tell you if you want the full refund that they advertise, you have to ship it back to Asia, which they admit is extremely expensive, and then once they receive it they will give you a 30% refund, F, they decide the product is in returnable order… I do hope someone has read this before they ordered. What a scam.
I contacted my Bank of America credit card company to put in a dispute. I saw another review that disputed with their credit card company and they did get their money back, so I am certainly praying that I will get it for a refund from my credit card company as well. I will try to remember to come back here and update it if and when I did (or if I do night) Lord, please forgive me for not looking things up and falling for this scam, I’m praying for a full refund in Jesus name, AMEN!
There is one review with five stars, one, very short sentence, with a grammatical error, so it’s probably from within their company. How could anyone possibly like this cheap product?

This is such a scam
This is such a scam, how do people feel good about taking money for this cheap piece of crap. I was so disappointed and my fault for not reading reviews. These ladies should just return everyones money as they know what cheap product they are selling. DONT BUY!!!!
DO NOT GIVE THIS SCAMMER YOUR MONEY
DO NOT GIVE THIS SCAMMER YOUR MONEY! Silly me, I got taken in by the Instagram ad and their BS website. Two sisters in Seattle, small business, beautiful hand-crafted stained glass lamps... HA! What arrived was a tiny, cheap piece of Chinese garbage that isn't worth $0.50. When I contacted them to return the item, sharing my concerns about the quality, I was offered a 10% refund for my trouble OR I could return it for a full refund... but I'd have to pay for specialty shipping to China, with extra precautions ($$$) in place to ensure they received it. What a joke. I bought this kitchy little lamp for my father who just lost his dog. To give this as a gift would be insulting. Oh, and did I mention the smell? I probably got some new disease from the fumes emanating from the tiny item. Buyer beware. I wish I'd have thought to check for reviews before ordering.
ZERO if I could
ZERO if I could. Cheap plastic, spray painted, no way to replace a bulb, USB cord not mentioned. ABSOLUTE TRASH. Shipped from CHINA, NOT a Seattle handcrafter as is eluded to on their webite. TEMU literally has nicer things for $5.00. COMPLETE waste of time for a gift and money. RUN from this site.
I wish i could rate them as a
I wish i could rate them as a - negative 10. I feel like i was duped by their pictures of their products versus the plastic crap they passed off as a regularly over $200 item but due to their closure they are on sale for $44. this was $43 too much. They need to refund everyone who fell for their fake advertising. I would love to send pictures of what i received versus what they advertised. Total junk!!!
The lamp I received from China was a piece of cheap garbage
The lamp I received from China was a piece of cheap garbage. Not stained glass, but painted resin. It's a complete scam. Do not buy from these crooks. You have been warned.
Buyer beware!!!
Buyer beware!!!! First of all the lamps are not glass as indicated. It’s cheap plastic. Took forever to receive them. A month later one died and it turns out the wire was melting. Potential fire hazard!!! How do I know the other one won’t do the same? I contacted them via email and was told I would either have to return the item at my expense to Asia, or they can give me a 10% refund! When I wrote back to dispute that decision, they wrote back then offering a 20% refund. Ridiculous!!! I will be disputing this with my bank. Who’s to say they’ll give me any money back at all? I could kick myself for falling prey to this scam! I should’ve went with my first gut instinct that this was false advertising!
Ellie sent the wrong product and would not fully refund
Ellie clearly sent me the wrong product. I sent them pictures of what I ordered and what I received and they still deny sending the wrong product. If I want to return it, they said I would be responsible for the shipping costs. They are penalizing the customer for their mistake. NEVER BUY FROM THEM!
Scam
Turtle I received looks nothing like website picture. Received cheap plastic turtle. Worth $3 not the $55 I paid.
Total SCAM!!
I don't write reviews at all
I don't write reviews at all. But here I had to. I don't think there is even a store like this existing. I had been waiting for ordered items for over 2 weeks. Today the box arrived. It is very light, and right away I realized that it cannot be glass. I ordered 6 items. I opened only one box out of entire order. On top of the fact that it was a wrong item, it is absolutely wrong quality. I think it is worth $1-$5. Images of the lamps online do not correspond with actual products. I want to make a big deal about it. They don't have a phone number. I cannot call them. I will call my bank to call it out as a fraud! Package came from China. It is upsetting that people are being fulled. I hope I will be the last one in this online experience.
I was very disappointed in the product…
I was very disappointed in the product I received. It was small , no problem. The lamp was not stained glass as portrayed, it was not even glass it was cheap plastic.
This is a scam
This is a scam ! If you received your $3 plastic fake lamp you have been a victim of fraud. Just call your credit card company and ask for a full refund. You will file a fraud complaint and once the vendor receives this they refund the total amount immediately. No questions asked. So just throw the junk they sent you away . Forget about returning it. They don't want it back as the return shipping is 5 times the value of the crap they sent. This operation should be shut down
I agree with all the other reviews
I agree with all the other reviews. This company is not ethical. They present their products as stained glass lamps when in fact they are cheap resin. I requested info to return the item only to find out that it had to go to China! And the postage to send it back made it not worth the effort to do so. I feel I was totally misguided.
It's a scam because they know it costs too much to return so they have you over a barrel. I don't feel they deserve even 1 star.
This product is shipped from China not Seattle
This product is shipped from China and is spraypainted plastic.....NOT Stained glass. Total Rip off. They offer you a 10% refund or pay the shipping costs back to china.
Buyer Beware
Buyer Beware! Order 2 dogs to give as gifts. Picture depicted were made of glass. What I received was two tiny dogs made of plastic. The 2 ladies on the website, disappointed ladies about a business closing. Scam! I am sure the shipping cost will be more than what I paid!
Save yourself the aggravation and DO…
Save yourself the aggravation and DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY! I ordered a stained glass deer lamp and not only did i receive the wrong item it was a $3 piece of junk!!! Resin, probably 3D printed. I contacted my credit card company immediately and the reversed the charge. I also contacted the "company" but I doubt it will make a difference. Just happy I got my money back.
It’s a scam
It’s a scam, and I admit being scammed. Bought 2 as gifts. “Stained glass, illuminated” animals are just cheap, plastic junk. No glass, no color, just a 6” tall worthless, plastic garbage.
HORRIBLE COMPANY!
HORRIBLE COMPANY!! I feel like such a sucker! The business website clearly states that their lamps are hand made and stained glass. They show a cute picture of a man and woman allegedly creating a lamp. The lamps I received are made of molded plastic and were shipped from CHINA! They do offer refunds HOWEVER, the consumer is expected to pay for return shipping. I made a serious mistake not checking for reviews before I ordered these products. Shame on me. I hope to save someone else from the same mistake.
