Is the base heavy enough so that it does not move if using with one hand?

Yes as long as you tear the paper towel at an angle (top to bottom) you can do it easily with one hand.

Yes, the current model does allow free movement of the base joint. In the original version, the base was fixed, so you will see older comments indicating a fixed base.

The base is quite heavy. I cannot make the lamp fall over no matter how the goose neck is positioned.

Yes. We move the one we have around all the time. It doesn't weigh much either.

Yes. Both myself and my wife (smaller hands) hold it in one hand without a problem

Yes, it does move very easily. Unfortunately, it doesn't exhibit a static friction coefficient.

Yes; it may seem a bit shaky during assembly, but once everything is tightened it's pretty rigid. It can be picked up one-handed and will stay in shape, there was no noticeable movement loading it up, and it's stayed solid for several months now. You'd really have to go beyond its intended use to see it become shaky.

It's quite heavy and so quite stable without a base. I've been using mine for a couple of years and never, if one is doing it right, would you need it to be more stable.

If by "solid" you mean that it is heavy, it is not. The base is hollow, but has not been a problem for my mother, for whom I bought it.

Yes. The base is very narrow but the head is large and should prevent it from sliding all the way through. I have not used it that fashion so I can give you a 100% certainty. It might be a bit "off balanced" with the head being heavier then the rest. Good luck.

no, it will accommodate only one hand at a time which is not the ideal situation.

Yes you can hold it with hand. It does not wobble. I've been using it for almost a year and love it.

The base does flex a bit. And, it is sufficiently heavy and "grippy" that it doesn't move around.

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).

Yes it is light enough for one man to use, because it is in 4 pieces and the two heavy ones are easy to handle by ones self. It will rotate 360, however I am not sure if you would clear your bed with anything on it.

It is fairly heavy, but can be moved if needed. It isn't a piece of solid oak or anything. I wouldn't expect to move it much or very often, however, and don't consider it "mobile."

It is sturdy and built well but two people can move it easily. Be sure to hook one or two springs so the movable base cannot move.
