This pier mount base is sure to give your post lamp a platform to shine wherever you decide to place it. It's made from metal and features a square base with a carved ring around the circular mount for a touch of traditional appeal. This piece is designed to have your lantern mount directly to it, so we don't recommend that you use it with a post or any other intermediary piece. Plus, there are pre-drilled holes in each corner so you can install it onto a post or wall.
