how does the lamp stay in place as you move the neck to desired positions?

From how I have used it, it is pretty stable from any position you put it in.

When lowering the neck, the base is wide enough to stay in place by itself. When raising the neck, you need to hold the base with one hand while moving the neck with the other hand. And sometimes the lamp goes out while doing this, so you need to turn it back on. One time I had to unplug the power cord and re-plug it in.

It is fairly light weight, but it is easily handled. I'm not too conscious of it when I adjust it. I especially like the dimmer on it. It is however easy to turn off or on as you just touch the switch to make it work.

it doesn't tilt at all, I have been very happy with this lamp, its bright, flexible and I am very glad I bought it.

The lamp has three sections with two joints and then the lamp has a joint to top section, I.e. Total of three joints. Two joints on the three sections and then the lamp head has a joint. The head pivots and you can keep the head above you and pivot the light on your book or whatever. The lamp base is solid and works great. Recommend highly.

Where the lamp starts to bend at the top, there is a section of the lamp pole and base pole with a twisting "cap" in the middle. All you have to do is loosen the twist component , and then pull the lamp pole out as far as you want it and then Tighten the twist part again. I made it sound a whole lot more complex than it is lol- it's really easy/ common sense.

No, neck is not flexible. You can only position it upside or downside. I returned it because a regular light bulb is better than it's LEDS lights.

It does not adjust up and down other than the swivel on the head of the lamp itself. Once it is put together, it does not go any higher or lower.

The lamp has never slipped out of the stand. It's pretty heavy so would probably take flipping over for it to come out. You have to lift up several inches to get it out. The tighten knobs on the arm work well. They are sturdy and do not feel as if they are stripping out every time you adjust them as some that I have used before did. They hold well, you can use it in the tightened position many times before having to tighten again.

The lamp heads move up and down as well as in, out and sideways. It's a very nicely made lamp.

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).

Hello Shannon, Lamps are adjustable in terms of the direction (you can rotate them) but you cannot move them up or down the rails.

This lamp has a bracket that has to be mounted on something to hold the light in a fixed position.

It just stays in one position. You can adjust the position, but once set, it stays there.

This lamp is adjustable and is not meant to be a straight up and down lamp.

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

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.

It's stiff enough to hold arbitrary shapes within its range of (unsprung) motion. The lamp head weighs almost nothing, so if you can get the head where you want it, it will stay. Almost all these light coil positioners work fine, as long as they don't have to hold much weight. (OTOH, these particular lights failed within weeks, flickering and dimming to uselessness, so look elsewhere.

Yes, the neck is very sturdy. I've got mine mounted vertically on a headboard. The light stays in any position whatsoever and I move it a lot.
