What's kind of materials inside the base? Some lamp bases are made of concrete and can't support the lamp stem firmly. Thanks for your response.

The base is not made of concrete but it is certainly sturdy enough to support the lamp. I was happy with the purchase. The lamp screwed together easily and the fittings were made to fit securely together. I have no complaints with this product. It also arrived just as expected and on time.

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.

It would loom better with having something in base of lamp. Hope this helps.

If you are meaning that you want the lamp piece itself to stand straight, it is not that kind of lamp. If you mean, that the lamp base is causing the lamp to lean and not stand straight, please look at how your base is situated. You may need to place it on a more even surface, or place something under one side to straighten it. Please clarify what you mean and perhaps I can be of more help.

The lamp is made of stained glass, or a type of resin that replicates stained glass. The pieces are soldered together, and the soldering material obviously has a bit of lead in it. I personally don't see this as a problem unless you plan on eating the material!

The problem is not with the clamp where it attaches to your fixture, the problem is at the end where the clamp attaches to the lamp and lampshade. That part is so weak it will not support the weight of the lamp or lampshade so whenever you try to position it, it sags. The clamp attaches to the lamp body with some kind of screw type latch, and it is what is flimsy and weak for the weight it should be able to support. Now if you plan to use the clam where the lamp hangs upside down, then I this weakness will work for you. But I say, Don't buy it. Let the manufacturer make it work correctly, cause right now It sucks. Even the lampshade is flimsy, and can bend or dent easily.

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 shade is plastic and metal. The metal is probably lead alloy that's been poured over the plastic. The plastic will easily fool you to think it is a glass. the base of the lamp is heavy iron which makes it very stable. It works with two 100 Watt incandecent or CFL bulbs. Very well packaged.

Lamp comes with a sort of nuts to secure the glass shade and in order to prevent any damage rubber washers are in between glass and metal. Hope this help.

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

Hi, all the surface of the base is made by metal. The lamp will be on and off when you touch the surface.

This is a very lightweight lamp. I agree with the poster that says you can move it downward to some degree without the base moving. However, when you tilt the lamp back up the base will move. In that case it would need to be stabilized by holding it down with your other hand. Nice lamp, but it does not have a heavy base.

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.

the lamp is made in a way that it is impossible or hard to replace the bulb, basically you take manufacturers promise that it will last for years, when eventually it dies i guess u have to buy another flex neck lamp...

The base is metal and heavy enough to make it stable. I really like this lamp. I also purchased the 3 way floor lamp and 2 bulb table lamp. Very pleased with all of them.

The base is required as it contains the electronis to operate the lamp. The lamp swivels. You could use a squeeze clamp (hardware store) to clamp the base to a headboard.

The material of this lamp is indeed bronze, and heavy-bottomed. We got this lamp in pieces, with the cord threaded through the bits. And then we screwed the pieces together, to include the base part, that went in for about an inch. It is very stable, and needed no special tools to do it, either.
