Is the lamp base weighted well? Will the lamp tip or lean over if you adjust the light to any angle or extend the arm out to it's maximum capacity?

The lamp base is weighted very well. I've had mine on hardwood floors and on a thick rug. On both, I can adjust it in any way I wish and it is stable.

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.

The lamp base is sturdy. I move it for needlepoint and have not had any issues.

Our lamp sits on a bare floor and is very stable, never any problem with tipping or unsteadiness. I think it would also do well on a short-shag rug or braided rug as well. Very white, clean light--seems a bit bluish at first, but a real joy to read or do work under.

NO, the lamp only adjusts to about a 90 degree position. further lowering is prevented by one of the balance arms. i also recommend adding a lamp dimmer to the cord, if that is a feature that you might like, since it comes with only an on/off switch. melissa byars' answer is incorrect for this lamp.

I'm not certain. My lamp is attached to a flat desk. The clamp is very secure, but the lamp itself does have some weight to it that may cause some sliding or shifting to occur on a slant. Sorry I cannot give you a definite answer.

I use the lamp on my table where I wheel up in my power chair to do bills, read, and I can move the light in almost any direction. Except New Jersey. There wasn't much light there the last time I passed through. The support to the light panel is flexible, bendable, and, thus far, reliable. I've been pleased with the lamp. www.questawards.net

The base is mildly weighted. I don't have any issues with this lamp falling over. You power it on and off on the cord, anyway, so you really come into little contact with the lamp itself. The whole thing (sans cord) weighs a little less than a pound at 15.3oz (433g).

seem flat to me, Any adjustment would be in the bracket mount that hold the lamp. hope this helps

I think it depends on the distance. The base is pretty substantial, I doubt it would tip unless it was super extended

Yes it does bend and hold in any position you put it in. That's one of my favorite features. The neck is enclosed with a squarish ribbed black plastic (kind of reminds me of a ribbed bendable conduit, but square instead of round). I personally love my lamp and how bright it is. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa, that means if there's no light, there's no vision! Super bright and great for reading and looking at fine detail.

this is a sturdy little lamp which I've been happy with. It certainly is not top heavy and no issues with it ever tipping

I think you would have to affix a stop to keep the base from sliding, but the gooseneck would allow you to counterbalance the light. I did a trial with mine and found that if you had a way to keep the base from sliding (it does have non-skid rubber but that is not grippy enough on its own due to the weight of the lamp) the head can be adjusted to balance it out. Hope this helps. I think it would be a good lamp for that purpose, light-wise.

I have this lamp on my bookshelf and I have had any problems with it being unstable when I swing the arm out. I do wished I would got the floor lamp though as it does not put out much light to read my books as I wanted.

Sturdy? Not sure what you mean. The base is heavily weighted, so that lamp won't knock over easily. The parts of the lamp aren't flimsy, so are unlikely to break.

The base is large enough to be clamped down to a desk. The arm of the lamp is screwed into the base. The power is wired into the base and the on/off switch is on the side of the base. The base is approximately 5" in diameter. the lamp arm is fixed and will not rotate. The available movement is up/down, forward/back and the lamp head will move side to side. I hope this helps.

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!

This lamp is made to tilt. My spouse uses it to knit and it works great. The bulb itself would not lend itself to being upright.

The base is steady. I have used the table as a regular sofa end table. The table would hold a sofa lamp without a problem, I believe.

Will depend on the bulb, but it is an overall good lamp. The one issue I have found is securing the rod to the marble base. Currently the chair is holding the balance of it. However, love the lamp overall, and use it for reading myself.
