Is the base weighted and of decent quality?

Not as heavy as would like but adequate is sturdy. And five and three yr old look for countries a without it tipping over or breaking. We are very happy w it.

No, the base is not weighted. That is the number one weakness of this, and most, globes in this price range.

The base weight is adequate for the globe. I frequently pick up mine off the desk for closer inspection, while sitting at my computer. The globe is solid and withstands the movement without a problem.

the base is not weighted. but the globe is stable. I usually pick it up in searching for information. It is of good quality, and the gimbal feature makes it much more useful.

I have been using mine for several months now and am very happy with them. They are not one those lightweight versions. This is the real deal good quality heavy flatware!

I really don't think that it is and I wouldn't want to put that much weight on this unit. It is a decent unit, but definitely not made for a old style tv.

The base is OK. If you are an audiophile, you won't be happy. I mostly listen to podcasts, not music. I recommend these headphones over all of the others that I've tried, because I haven't found any that are as good, dollar for dollar. These are comfortable enough, sound good enough, and are reliable enough.

The base is very solid & doesn't seem like it would fall over easily. The glass itself is fairly thin but doesn't feel "delicate" if that makes sense. We use the glass almost daily and it has held up well.

Very stable! The base is weighted and the spool makes very little, if any difference.

I felt like ours was good quality. I've owned a few, and this one feels the most solid.

I'd say moderately. They're higher quality then super cheap discount store plates, but they're not overly heavy to lift.

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.

As far as I can tell it's all metal (the very bottom part isn't solid, of course). It's somewhere in between lightweight and heavyweight. It's certainly doesn't feel heavy when you pick it up, but it's not flimsy or light either for its size. I like mine and have no regrets about the purchase, but it does seem a bit overpriced to me.

It's not weighted but the balance is good. It does not fall at the slightest touch.

I can not speak to the quality of other manufactured products. I have used some "home made" variants and was concerned about placing a significant amount of weight on them. This product will handle body weight and will withstand adverse conditions of sand, heat, and abuse. I am happy with mine.

Its a decent product. Not real heavy, but robust enough to be worth the money.

Yes it's sturdy and feel it will last. The base is heavy giving excellent support to the plastic extension arm. It has been a nice addition to my home office.

Its reasonably balanced with weight and leg width, it's not heavy but it won't fall over on it's own.

The pieces are made of metal, and the base is wooden. It feels substantial, but I seriously doubt it weighs that much. :)

The balance is good. As far as a numerical measurement of weight goes I can't say, but it is definitely not as heavy as a real katana.
