I've heard complaints about similar lamps that the cord comes out of the tube halfway down the lamp rather than the base. Is that true of this unit?

The cord does NOT come out of the base. This is an adjustable height lamp so the cord comes out of the tube that can be adjusted. I want the lamp as low as possible so the cord exits the tube probably 18" above the base. If you want the lamp to be taller, the cord will be higher off the floor.

The cord does come out about two thirds down the way, close to the base but it's not noticeable nor a nuisance in any way.

I have not noticed that until you mentioned it. Yes it is true but has not been a problem for me as there are no kids around.

yes, the lamp is very nice- the hanging apparatus is a little different that what I expected. It is a round white cord, with a little plastic hook type hanger.

Ok, my original answer was a totally wrong. This lamp hangs out about 6 feet from the base. You have to know that a portion of the rod is telescoped into the other part of the rod. Unscrew the end and you can pull out the telescope portion. Once I did that totally satisfied with this lamp and it is comparable to the $250 version I've seen in stores.

Not here, but I wish it did too! I'm loving my new lamps, but a clear cord would be much less visible!

Be sure the lightbulb in the base is okay, and not loose. We had to leave our lamp on for a long time before the contents would flow. Also, contact the company as they were good about replacing the first lamp we received. We were told the lamps do not ship well in cold weather, but the second lamp has been fine.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

Yes to both. The lamp can be removed from the base, while the base is still attached to the table / shelf. Just lift / slide the lamp up and out of the base. Hope that is of some help. Regards Bruce Huffadine New Zealand

On the power cord. Which weighs more than the lamp. So the lamp doesn't stand up too well.

You cannot take the plug off and on; and it snaps into the bottom of many salt lamps. Some lamps don't really have anything to snap into but the base where the bulb fits can snug up inside the lamp opening. Does that make sense?

The cord is comes out of the bottom if you want. Determined by how you attach the two wires to the sides of the socket. Yes any lamp that you use should have an existing hole. Either on side or the bottom. I just used the existing holes to rewire my lamp.

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

There is no outlet in the base. The power cord runs through the lamp and ends up coming through the base.

No, this has a cord. This lamp can not take a 60 or 40 watt bulb as they state. The shade gets too hot. A 25 watt is cool enough.

Technically yes, but I don't think the length of the cord lends itself well to being a floor lamp and running the wire through the inside. It would have to exit half way down or something.

It may be normal but it is not necessary to keep it if it is unattractive. Mine was pieced together badly so that it looked like a polar ice cap on top. They had me take a photo and send it to them and then sent me another lamp w/o me sending the first one back.

It fills from the bottom. Which is kind of awkward. I solved the problem by turning it upside down in an old vase, which held it steady so I could use two hands to fill it. If you fill it with a lot of small items, be sure to pack them down tight and then also give them some time to settle. Then pour in more to the top (bottom!) it off again before screwing on the base and turning it over. It's a very nice lamp, looks great, and I recommend it if you think filling from the bottom isn't going to be a problem for your display items.
