Is the base of the lamp weighted?

Yes, It has a metal base that fits under a chair or couch. I love this lamp it puts off as much light or as little light as you want. It has a regulated switch.

Base is very solid - heavy lamp. The only problem we have had is the 3-way lamp get really hot.

The base is quite heavy. I cannot make the lamp fall over no matter how the goose neck is positioned.

No. A bridge lamp shade has a screw in component which attaches above the bulb and supports the shade.

I think the lamp is weighted well. When I extend the arm out fully with the second (upper) pole on the same side of the main (bottom) pole as the head of the lamp, it does lean slightly, but it's still secure. To prevent the slight lean, I use the lamp with the second (upper) pole on the opposite side of the main (bottom pole) from the head of the lamp - this is how it's shown in the listing image here on Amazon. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, it is weighted. I have not had a problem with it tipping over, if you put shoes on one side.

As far as I can tell, the stand itself is metal. I think if it was resin it would be much lighter. This is very heavy, and feels totally like metal.The lamp itself is very sturdy, and when lit is quite lovely. We are very pleased with this lamp. Nothing about it seems cheap...not even the base.Hope this helps. Of course, Amazon always takes returns...so you don't have to worry...but we really like it.

It's made well enough for a floor lamp. The base is heavy enough that it doesn't fall over even if the gooseneck is at a 90 degree angle. As for value, it takes any lightbulb with a standard socket. So I was a little bummed when I got it. If you are looking for a "daylight" lamp to help with SAD symptoms, you could save a LOT of $$$ just buying the lightbulb and screwing it into any old fixture.

No, the shade doesn't touch the base, there is a metal wire form or attachment in the shade that rests on the bulb area to keep it in place.

On the base - just under the lamp's pivot point. Also, I am very pleased with my lamp.

Sorry, but no. The base of the lamp is a small cylinder that just sits in a cylindrical hole in the top of the clamp. The only thing that holds the lamp in the clamp is gravity. If you mount the clamp upside down, gravity will make sure that the lamp ends up on the floor. But, other than the bulb, the lamp would probably survive.

The lamp is well-made and the base and the pole are sturdy. I believe that if someone lost their balance the lamp would hold up.

This lamp is not very heavy. I believe it is either brass plated plastic or tin. I really am not sure. It sounds like metal when you tap on it, but that could be the plating.

Yes, it is. I am enjoying this lamp -- the head swivels if you wish to useindirect light.

don't know. but, i have noticed this lamps base is not heavy enough to support the lamp when placed in certain positions.

i find the base is heavy enough with D batteries installed to make the lamp reasonably stable. you have to be careful moving the light because lifting up on the lamp will cause the pole to pull out of the base (it's not directly attached to the base, except by the wire).

Yes, I've never had any problems with the lamp falling over. It definitely can support the weight of the rest of the lamp.
