How does the base stay stationary?

It's actually a pretty sturdy base, but I think my husband may have put a brick or paver against it to help hold it up. Hope that helps. Ours works well and is right by the pool for getting in and if you want to rinse off after you get out.

Since the base has a "plug" I fill mine with water. Also I drove a metal rod in the ground right next to it and used a zip-tie to secure together. Works out great. If you put this near a pool the water in the base should be enough.

Yep- the sides curve under to make it very stable. Never had a problem with it moving.

No it is stationary. If you wantt it to pivot you'd have to rotate the whole stand

When the base is full it is fairly heavy and requires you to use your body to push. You have to push and kind of lift for it to roll on the wheels. We do move it but not something I would do regularly. the weight makes it very stable though remember you don't want it crashing on one of your cars when there is wind. It has been rock solid and has lasted in the SOCAL sun with no issues for about 6 months now.

The feet spin freely so that when adjusting the bolt they remain stationary

The base hase four pivots, one on each side. Pull them out and push the cover into place; while holding the cover push each pivot in and they will hold it.

Base is pretty solid as thats where the batteries go. I've been using this little guy as my little fan to keep the air conditioning flowing around the living room....been on for a long time and working great! The price for little fan is pretty cheap and really moves the air...plus it has two speeds which is helpful. The base does not tilt and the fan doesnt easily knock over. Hope that helps??

It does take electricity to keep it suspended. You can rotate it gently when suspended, but be careful or it may become unstable, and if you are gentle about it it will still eventually slow to a stop.As for falling, whether due to becoming unstable from being hit, spinning to violently, or a power outage, the globe will fall onto the bottom part of the base, where it will stay via a permanent magnet until you suspend it again. No need to worry about it breaking or rolling away.

Yes, I needed to rotate the base and moved it. It took a little prodding but it moved.

There is a tap screw at the base of the center of the column. If its loose, the whole deal rotates easily.

It would need to be pushed into the ground, or somehow weighted down, to keep it standing upright. Mine has been fine by simply pushing it into the dirt.

Quite simple. There are tethers in the front that tighten or loosen the anchors. And once tightened it stays in place.

The base that comes with it is fixed. I would imagine a rotating one would be special order, haven't seen one or even looked!!

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.

There's four bases at the bottom to stabilize.... I swing my legs up an open on it and it fine ... Just don't go crazy !!!

It's pretty steady. The legs spread outward, which makes for a steady base. We love our travel crib! It's light and easy to travel with.
