Is this lamp base heavy enough that it won't topple every time you need to move the magnifier?

It's weighted and steady. Moving the arm does not cause the base to wiggle at all.

thank you very much for asking.The base of the lamp does the job, the only problem I had was the AC Adapter because it did not workI had to buy another ... everything else worked well

i find the base is heavy enough with D batteries installed to make the lamp reasonably stable. you have to be careful moving the light because lifting up on the lamp will cause the pole to pull out of the base (it's not directly attached to the base, except by the wire).

At times it can topple as its not a heavy base, but its just a matter of moving the direction that it sits and then it is fine. This is my favourite magnifier to date, and I have tried several! Extremely happy with it!!

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.

Yes. It has been a great reading lamp for my 96-year-old. No issues with stability at all.

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

I doubt it,mine is attached to a table top...the lamp might be awkward and heavy for floor standing.

The base is a little tippy. Most floor lamps need to be stabilized. Mine is on a tile floor and rocks a little.

It is a solidly put together lamp. I suppose you could move it from one area of a room to another but it is heavy and could be a bit awkward.

Yes a fairly strong one on the base end, at least a couple of pounds, though I have not actually made a measurement. It will indeed hold the light itself firmly to a ferrous surface.

The dust cover is not removable, but not much of a problem during use - only if you're right on top of the magnifier could it get in the way. btw - i really love this lamp!

Yes the neck is flexible and you can move it without holding the base as long as you aren't rough.I like this lamp a lot. It's sturdy. No batteries required. You just need to charge it as you would a phone or tablet.

I would say no as the lamp is (in my opinion) rather flimsily made. I returned mine since the stand came bent and could not even be put together.

Yes, but pay close attention to how you assemble it. My lamp wobbles a bit. I tightened the screws so it is stable, but tightening everything as you put it together would probably alleviate this. Each lamp is positionable 360 degrees.

No. but it's half strong enough. 2 such lamps would do it (pointed upward).

I just adjusted the gooseneck and placed the magnifier 2 1/2" from the table surface with good stability (you probably would be able to place it even closer). The gooseneck is strong, and the base is quite heavy.

Yes I use it as a reading lamp and have had no problem at all with it supporting the head it is not very heavy holds it's shape well.

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.

When the putting the lamp together it did tilt some, but once it was together it was very sturdy on the floor. The upper part of the lamp is flexible so you can aim the light which ever direction you would like.

The base is not SOLID in the sense of the bottom being heavy and filled with material. BUT, it is solid in the sense of it doesn't tip over easily, it stays put when you touch it, etc. I've got cats and even they haven't knocked it over. I'm enjoying my lamp, stylish and useful.
