Cannot assemble
on May 18, 2025

Same problem as others. This product can only be used as a table lamp, not as a floor lamp. It appears that the coupling to the floor piece was incorrectly produced the diameter is wrong. It will work if you turn the coupling upside down, but then the coupling will not attach to the Floor rod.. It might be just these latest versions were incorrectly made does work as a table lamp and the clamp to the table works. However, I bought it as a floor lamp.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hard to assemble
on May 17, 2025
Posted by: Hobbes
I just bought at a reduced price from a retailer going out of business. I was so excited to get this light as I had been wanting it for a very long time.
First the Cons:
1. It indicates it’s a 3-in-1 light. Unfortunately, to change from floor to table lamp you have to disassemble the lamp taking the lamp base off and removing/installing the extension.
2. Instructions are not very detailed and in some places incorrect, i.e. refer to the wrong letters making them difficult to follow.
3. The lamp portion doesn’t NOT attach to the extension to make a floor lamp WITHOUT force or modification. I had to use a dremel to ream out the inside of the plastic coupler because I still wanted to have the capability to use the clamp (3rd) function.
4. Seems very wobbly when you are trying to adjust the light, magnifier, and clamp.

Now the Pros:
1. I like the power outlet which lets me plug in a tool.
2. Heavy base seems like it will keep from tipping even though it is wobbly.
3. I like being able to (now that I’ve done manual modification) move from flow lamp to clamp with ease. Just wish I could have the same option for table lamp.

Poor design as a floor lamp
on May 9, 2025
Posted by: Chris D
from Muskogee OK
Just purchased this product and planned on using it as a floor light. When I went to put it together I found the post and upper lamp assembly will not go together since the post and upper assembly don’t have the same diameter. The light is bright and the three settings are nice but so far haven’t been able to get any help with troubleshooting the problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lamp is garbage. Poor quality control.

from Buffalo, NY
I bought this 3 days ago. The lamp doesn't fit into the floor mount adapter in the top of the floor section pole. It can only be used as a table top lamp. This lamp is garbage without the proper floor mount adapter. The model number is: CSY53CPC. Batch No./Lot No.: JAS0967/3958/4176/5949
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

DO NOT buy if you want to use a floor lamp
on April 21, 2025
Posted by: JerryG1807
from Boston, MA
TL;DR: Only buy this if you get it cheaply AND you want to use it as a desk/clamp light. As others have said, it does NOT fit properly when assembling for floor lamp use. I took the part that connects the floor lamp rod to the light base, and I think I know the problem: The part/flange that connects the rod to the light base (it has 2 screws on it is BACKWARDS. If you reverse it, it fits PERFECTLY. The problem? You can't use it like that. Maybe if you call them you can get a replacement part. I didn't want to wait, and managed to brute-force it with a rubber hammer (meaning it will only ever be a floor lamp). I got this for a good price from a retailer going out of business so I don't mind - otherwise it would be going back.

I purchased lamp yesterday. Defective design. Design structure does not allow attachment of light fixture to standing poll. Can only use desk lamp installation.

Cannot Assemble to Floor Stand
on April 11, 2025
Posted by: Thomas2
from Houston, Texas
I bought this 3 in 1 Craft Lamp yesterday, April 10. Just like another reviewer on here, the light assembly will not fit into the floor stand post piece. Hole seems too small, light assembly post slot will not even slide far enough in to reach the tab.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
