The lamp was wired incorrectly with leads tangled around the frame. It took 2 skilled electricians 1.5 hours to correct, at first they didn’t think it would even be possible. I have another 4 BTC lamps but was disappointed in the quantity of this should have been checked before dispatch.

Great customer service
Wanted to change a product after realizing that the product which I bought did not fit the color in my bedroom. OBTC was wonderful, no questions asked, very positive and friendly and I could exchange for a different product without any issues.

Customer service is great
Customer service is great. We bought 3 lights, all the same and our electrician sucessfully installed 2, but had issues with the 3rd. BTC is replacing the 3rd one. So refreshing to have personal support from a company. We have bought previous fixtures from BTC as well and love the look and quality of the products.
