What kind of lid does it have? Hinged or "shoe box" type? If it is hinged, does it clamp shut or just rest shut? Picture looks like "shoe box" type.

It is a shoe box type lid but fits very well. This is a very nice box, I have had mine for about a year and I love it!

The 9 compartment is like a shoe box. I also got the 6 compartment and like it better as it is hinged

It does have a hinged lid, but it will only stay up if you open it wide. The cover is not heavy at all I had no problem with my grandchilden getting pinched they are 4 & 1. Good luck

It is a loose lid. However, I bought it for the same reason, and the cats don't come near it.

The opening can be closed. There is an arm with a stopper for the opening on the lid. Works quite well, too.

It is a regular lid. I bought this a couple months back and I absolutely love it! Way to neat to be stored in the kitchen cabinets!

The lid is hinged. You need a pod maker and an iron or electric pod maker to go with them. i make about 100 at a time, put them in zip lock bags and save them.

It doesn't really "lock" open. One just needs to pull the lid down to close it.

It does not have a lock that you would have to release to lower the top. In the up position the top is balanced past center so the weight of the top holds it open. We haven't had any accidental closures

It's like a canning lid. A center piece and then a ring to tighten it down. There is no solid lid.

Correct. It doesn't seem to close completely. But when you lay your feet on it, it does shut. The hinge is just too tight.

The lid stays open slightly and requires you to fool the lid closure switch, I used a small piece of paper folded to wedged into to hole

It's hinged, with two regular metal hinges. The lid can be removed if you unscrew the hinges I guess. I just took a photo but the option to upload custom images doesn't seem to be available for this product.

It's hinged by the top back-side. It just snaps in when closed (when pressed down).

When the lid is closed it is held shut by a magnet. To open, slight force is required to overpower the magnet.

The lid stays open while you are working inside the bench. There is no danger of it falling closed on your kids, unless another kid pushes it closed. (Let's face it, they're kids, right?) :) But as for the lid "self closing", no, that's not going to happen. I use it to store my crochet work, and have no issues with the lid.

It stays open. It doesn't slam shut. It's not really a heavy top. It won't slam shut like a wooden one would.

The lid stays propped open at about a 55% angle. If it gets knocked from behind it will snap shut. It does not lay open flat and I think that is a good thing personally because it gives you a modem of "privacy".
