Love it, but….

I love this lamp and have used it for years. However I can’t figure out how to switch from a floor lamp to using the clamp. I’ve read the provided instructions (https://ottlite.com/cdn/shop/files/Instructions_K53CP3_K53CP3-SHPR_Instructions_24w_Ultimate_3-in-1.pdf?v=5109559762588347255) but it seems that once G is inserted into B — the pole — its there for life.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs a redesign on the clamp

Frequency of use:Daily
I recently purchased this for doing cross stitch and was looking forward to the clamp to hold my piece. I have arthritis, and holding the hoop was difficult. But that clamp is impossible to open if you have arthritis. It should be redesigned to be a screw open and close with a good handle to turn. Like so many things, the design ignores a huge cross section of society
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cannot Assemble to Floor Stand
on April 11, 2025

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.

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

DO NOT buy if you want to use a floor lamp
on April 21, 2025

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.

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.
