Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought two of these lamps. Pros: light, sturdy, easy to set up, and the light is pretty good - bright with a warm glow Cons: Had to return both lamps because they would not remain on. After a few minutes they would shut off and then cycle on and off about every 3 minutes. Since both did the same thing I wonder how anyone is satisfied with the product. Also, the area around the switch on the pole was noticeable hot. Seems they both have bad switches. Quality control? Not much.
