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.

Ours is packed away for the winter but I'm pretty sure it's about 1.5 or more. It's a very sturdy pole. We live near shore area and have wind and it seems to have held up well

I haven't observed any unstableness whatsoever. My cats reach high up and get a good stretch each time, but the unit has maintained stability. The base is pretty heavy, and fairly large. I ordered second one for another part of the house...they like it that much!

No - and beware - the pole is thicker than the pole I had on my patio furniture. You should purchase the base for this umbrella. I like the umbrella, seems to be holding up (second season - I take it in for the winter). Does not tilt.

That would be 1.3" There is a set screw to tighten pole. But the anchor works so well I would recommend inserting a solid pipe inside, my umbrella actually broke at the top of the anchor. Most companies use hollow poles so they are lightweight. I stuck a piece of rebar in mine, works great, some give but won't break. Get big winds in FL If you can find an umbrella with solid pole would be better. Had to cut off part of mine where it broke, so a bit shorter, but rebar solved problem. Hope this helps. Mark

The pole come out of the box in several pieces. You have to screw it together. It does not collapse.

I believe it is sturdy enough. Mine is against a wall, but have to pull it out to sweep under it and it's never tipped.

Although we haven't used it yet for the intended purchase use, it appears sturdy. However, our intention is to have it setting against a wall for food serving purposes. The bottom legs on one side come out further....would assume that this would help with keeping it from tipping. Hope this helps.

Vicki, The pole is in sections. The base is from 1 1/2- 2 feet across. In my opinion, it could withstand quite a lot of wind unless we are talking hurricane strength. I am enjoying mine. Hope this helps.

I have found it very sturdy. I have two long seed feeders, a suet feeder and a water tray and have had no problems. Even in high winds while the feeders sway a great deal, the pole remans strong.

No, at first we thought we would have to buy a smaller than standard pole then we realized the end pole slot can be easily removed allowing a standard pole to fit. It sits in the slot with no attaching. The quality matches the custom hardware I used when building our home. Very nice!

It's very stable for me - female 130lbs. I've never felt like it would tip on me. Hope this helps.

I haven't had a problem with it tipping. I would recommend a sturdy stand or table, with everything I have in mine is rather heavy. I have my terrarium put into a wall cubby that just happened to fit it.

Well I'm 146 lbs and it supports me fine, also 220 lbs friend played around on it supported her fine. I want to say as long as u make sure u set it up correctly you should be fine ! My sister didn't place her pole on a stud and her cealing ended up denting and she's around the same weight as me . So proper set up is key

The pole is square and there is about a four inch one into the other, very tight fit, and then the pole is filled with concrete. Mine has been standing solidly, not loose at all. Kids love it and how easy it is to raise or lower.

total 36" not in ground, so you will lose a couple of inches, the deeper it goes the more sturdy it will be ,no legs to make it more sturdy just a straight pole goes into the ground. Also found you can buy cheaper from garden ctr. type store or home depot.My mistake was not looking elsewhere before purchasing.

It is very sturdy and steady. Our one year old stands up in it and holds on to the side all the time. Since the base is wider than the top, it is not easy to tip over. Hope this helps.
