Is the base sufficiently heavy to keep the lamp from tipping?

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

Yes, more than heavy enough. I'd say the base is around 50 lbs. I have my lamp fully extended and the base keeps it stable.

I just put it together, I would not worry about tipping over, however if all you keep in it is light, you might have to but your foot in front of the base as you turn it.

No way that I'm aware of to secure to the base. My lamp sits on a desk with a raised hutch-like area, which is where the lamp sits. I've never had a problem with running into it. I figured that the reason the lamp wasn't secured to the base was so that it could be adjustable. Hasn't been a problem for me, but I guess that it could be for others, depending on one's work area.

It does not tip over easy but between me and my husband we have 4 bad ones laying around. They last a little more than a year and then burn out. My mother replaced her bulb for $30 and it worked. Ours scorched near the switch. Love the lamp but wish they lasted longer. Once you get the stand you can buy the cheaper clamp-on replacement which inserts into the stand also. Some lamps use the smaller circleline bulb that light fixtures use while others use a much smaller tube size circleline bulb which are more expensive.

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

Yes it does tip very easily. The lamp is inexpensively made (cheap) and is vey light weight.

You have to be very carefull when you installed the lamp on the wall to prevent the sides from falling off. Once installed, it should be secured enough. Unfortunately, one of the sides of my lamp was already broken when the order arrived.

HI - Mine has never tipped over. The base is solid and holds it in place. My elderly friend loves this, and can move it around to do her jewelry making again.I highly recommend it.

I would not try that as it might tip. The base is heavy as well as sturdy but not very broad. I use mine with an 11' market umbrella. It is balanced and works great, proving a good amount of shade.

I put my foot on the base to readjust the angle etc. (bending the neck) Otherwise the handle, on the light lets me move it around easily. I have not had a tipping problem. I really love this lamp.

The base will support the weight of the lamp as long as the entire base is resting on a horizontal flat surface. The arm of the lamp will extend approximately 24 inches from the point at which the arm is connected to the base. When the is done, the arm is approximately 6 inches above the surface of the desk. So the way the question was phrased, I am not sure that your question was answered in total. But yes, if used properly the lamp will not tip.

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

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

No. There is no weighted base. The clamp can open quite a bit, though. If you can work it out I highly recommend this lamp. I saw so many other really poorly made ones in stores and I love this one. I do very intricate work -I'm an artist- and am so happy I found this light. Good luck!

Dec 23 at 12:13 PM Absolutely, thats exactly what my husband uses it for. The base is heavy enough that you can actually almost angle the light completely over to meet the base and it does not tip over- it's a beautiful thing.

It is as stable as any lamp. It could fall down if someone hits into it... but overall it is pretty stable. Just try not to bump into it.

It has a fairly heavy base however if coats are pulled on there's a very good chance it would tip over.
