Paul sahlin tiffany floor lamp base made of resin?
My wife likes this Paul Sahlin Tiffany A-Design Mission Tiffany Floor Lamp - PST-815 for her birthday. However, I am concerned that the “resin” base may not be heavy enough to prevent one of our pets from knocking the lamp over easily. So what does it weigh, and what the heck is “resin”? We have a similar table lamp with a metal base, quite heavy for a table lamp, but the cats can still tip it. The floor lamp with a relatively heavy glass shade could be too easily tipped over. I don’t relish paying a $50.00 restocking fee if the lamp is not satisfactory. Is there any dealer in Illinois or Indiana who stocks this brand where we might see it in person? Do you know of a large lamp store in Chicago, St. Louis or Indianpolis we might visit for such a look?
Answer: This floor lamps base from Paul Sahlin Tiffany is a resin material which is a type of stronger plastic. The lamp weighs 16lbs. We found a link through google to better explain the resin material:

In regards to seeing this lamp in person, try to visit a local lamp store in order to see an example of a resin lamp while bearing in mind the lamp that you want is 16lbs. We are not quite sure if Paul Sahlin has a dealer in your area, but you can call the manufacturer at 800-521-3996 to see if they can direct you to a dealer. Or call your local lamp stores and ask if they carry Paul Sahlin Tiffany lamps.
