Does this stand up well when it is empty or is it pretty flimsy? I can't tell if the sides are stiff, or at least a little bit so. Thanks!

Sides are not stiff, so it won't stand up if empty. I love it though, it stands up well on my vanity top and it's flexible for packing in luggage vs a hard sided case. And I love the pretty purple flower design.

I got this bag for my sister and it was directly mailed to her, but from what I saw when we facetimed, it looked sturdy. It was holding up pretty good.

It is a soft case so it doesn't stand when empty. It is made well and is really cute. I use when I travel for work and am quite happy with the product.

Hi Melinda,Yes! It is flimsy! But it is still OK if you put 6 lbs laptop on it. I actually tried 6 lbs rice on it to see how it works, it is OK. Only one thing you need to be careful is this product is not strong enough for the side way. The leg is easily fold. Enjoy!

Mine has been standing for a couple of years. No problem so far. Make sure you put setting to carpet.

I am happy with it in my kitchen. I just have cookbooks and junk in there, so I'm not using it very much, but I would think it would hold up just fine even using it every day. It seems sturdy enough, the only flimsy part is the back panel, otherwise it's all wood.

I haven't really put it to the test. It easily holds my laptop, printer or projector on it. It feels pretty solid, but I definitely wouldn't stand or sit on it.

The bag is a heavy-ish material and it can stand up empty. That said, its not very heavy so it will tip over or lose its shape if you are putting in big branches or lopsided items.

I have seen others comment about it being flimsy, I don't think it is flimsy at all. The metal bracket is not flimsy, you just can't push down hard or sit on it. I have had mine for a couple of years and I really like it. I like that you can push it under the desk and out of the way, and the fact that it is long enough for my hand held calculator or cell phone to sit right next to my mouse.

Yes, but don't know if it would stand up without leaning against something.

The sides are not entirely soft or rigid... For me are a little bit rigid but flexible too. I have it for my 1 year old and havent had any problems, but kids can fall on it, just have to be carefull...

It stands up pretty well. Good center of gravity since it's not too tall and it's long. But it has to be resting on a flat surface . Overall though it's worth the purchase and won't tip over anytime soon.

yes, it is pretty sturdy. You may have to balance it a bit on the other side, but I have had no problems. This is a great item. I love it.

I think it feels a little wobbly. Once you click it all the way open it still has more movement than is ideal for me. It doesn't feel like it's going to collapse but it doesn't give me loads of confidence either.

It'll hold no problem but this thing isn't super wide so it may be wobbly. Especially if it's sitting on carpet. It only stands on those 2 legs.

It will stand up on it's own when empty. However it will fall over if bumped. It is very lightweight, butvnot flimsy. I have 2 if these bags and I use one every day for work.

It doesn't tip over too easily, though it could when it's not mounted. Yes it stands up when it is empty and the lid is open. I don't have it mounted and it works well. You just have to note that it can tip over that way and take a little extra care.

I couldn't really say to be honest but it is not flimsy at all. It's made very well and I am happy with it.

It stands up pretty well, I'm sure if you just make it a straight line it'll fall but just have the outer ones cornered off it'll be fine. Ours is Like a half of pentagon shape and it stays up and hasn't fall off and we hang clothes on it too. It's pretty sturdy!
