Light base= tipping over
582706
I got the option with the tripod stand so that we could take it into the turf field. I have the Ultimate Umbrella Stand but the spikes won't poke through the turf. The stand comes in a carrying case separate from the umbrella. I am not using the cup holders. They are quite flimsy and I don't have a need for them. I kind of wish the base was heavy as any light wind tips the whole thing over. Until the sun is overhead, the umbrella sits behind and I don't carry a heavy cooler to plop on top of the legs to keep it in place. I need sand bags or something.

Light is ok for the price. Pretty flimsy base though as it is not very heavy so when you touch the lamp to turn it on, it sways back and forth. I have checked to make sure everything is tight, but it is a very thin pole and light metal base.

base very light ,fibers tip it over..it must be propped up with something heavy., or it will just fall over and the fibers fall out of the base

Beautiful shade but this floor lamp very easily tips over if you can get it to stand on its own at all.

Received mine today and we love the lights. But is it supposed to be unattached from the bottom stand? Its just hanging on by the wires. So picking it up is extremely annoying. And it won't stay in place.

Light is very heavy, weighs almost 17 pounds. Make sure its mounted high and make sure a metal outlet box is available. If there is any chance you might have to return product make sure you read the seller's return policy BEFORE you purchase.

Great inexpensive lightweight lamps. I have had them fall if the base of the stand isn't extended properly.

It has a tendency to tip over a little on the lamp head side, as if the lamp head is too heavy for the base. It is fine if you put it somewhere where no one will touch it or bump it, but I worry about it tipping over and breaking.

I love this light, the only issue is the base could be sturdier.

I highly recommend this light.

Good light for the price. Worked as expected. Like the brightness adjustment. Had to read the instructions provided to figure out how adjust. Had some problem with assembly. Pole was wiggling on base. Had to disassemble the first attempt, then remove pole and tighten fitting before reinstalling the pole. Once the fitting was tightened into base before installing the pole, it worked OK. The base does not set well on carpet with foam padding. Had fallen over once. Made sure the foot of base is directed under the arc of arm. Seemed to be more stable when doing so.

Why they had to add this cheap and wobbly-nobbly of a switch, I don't know. Nothing wrong with the actual lamp. But I am not very sure if the switch will last very long.

I love how the lamp looks... BUT its impossible to find a small enough bulb to fit this and have the lampshade balance correctly. If you use a regular size nightlight bulb it sits far too high and looks stupid. I purchased a small lamp bulb but because its round the lampshade doesnt' balance correctly... it tilts back or too far forward :( I'm really disappointed with this because I love how the lamp looks.. I think you need a very small teardrop shape bulb with a medium base :( but I haven't been able to find one.... I might have to try and find a new lampshade to make it work :(

2 months after ordering this beautiful lamp, it started to lean between the bottom and middle pole. I tightened it up and the lamp stood straight for about a week. I tightened the assembly again, and a week later, the lamp was tilting.
I tried tightening it again, but found that the screw in connector on the bottom piece had stripped out and would no longer tighten. I'm now left with a leaning lamp that doesn't look like it's going to tip over, but if I had small children around, I'd be very concerned about them tipping it over just by walking past the lamp.
I'm a single guy, no bouncy house parties, not jumping up and down and no exercise in the room. Very disappointed that $100 was spent on a beautiful lamp that leans like the Tower of Pisa.
Those are the cons. The pros are it is beautiful, has a glass shade and has two socket for bulbs. For these reasons I give 2 instead of 1 stars.

Screw then on and the light level falls dramatically. Works fine, the cloth is a nice touch for cleaning, and a nice note from the company owner. Thanks.

Some adjusting of the screw at the tip of the light is needed.  This is not a design flaw.  It is a normal adjustment that has to be  made just like bringing your camera into focus.
One draw back is that the base is not quite heavy enough which will cause it to tip over occasionally if you don't put something on the base to weigh it down.  I would still recommend this laser light.  It does what it says it will do.  I paid $40 and no shipping.  I still think that's a little over priced but I was unable to locate a similar item available.

Table lamps are ok and look nice.  My problem was with the floor lamp.  One of the screw ends was bent...so lamp is not straight.  Have in inconspicuous place.  Would have sent back but it would have been difficult to  get back in the Styrofoam again!!!

not very sturdy. wabbles. base is not heavy enough for the rest of the light but works fine. Just be careful when you move it.
