I'm thinking of buying this to haul around my knitting supplies. Is the bottom compartment smooth so it won't snag my yarn?

I wouldn't recommend this for your knitting, especially not for yarn. It has a smooth bottom, but it's got uneven edges on the sides that I think could snag stuff. Plus, I dislike this because it's top heavy and wants to tip over all the time. I put what I thought were heavy tools in the bottom, like hammers, small saws, wrenches, etc, and it still wants to tip over! That's just my take. I think perhaps I'd try something different.

Yes it does stay closed. My daughter uses it for her rainbow loom and elastics but it hasn't popped open. It's pretty secure for that light load. Not sure how it would do under more weight.

I have had no problem with things slipping from their compartment into another when sideways, and I use it for small wires.

I have wound full skeins of I Love This Yarn, and it winds them perfectly. Even those too small stuff, like say 1/6 of a skein, it does a pretty good job. They're kinda squishy, but they look much better wound! All my friends bring their scraps to wind. It has really worked wonders for organization! Definitely worth the price!

This is my second one of this style and I haven't had any issues. It may be because it is a deep bag. I use mine everyday.

No, not at all. I keep a patch of felt in the bottom to help protect the container, but the flatware stays nicer than it would rattling around in a drawer. Love the caddy!

I only have the purple one, which is more of a suede material. I think it's very sturdy. The sides aren't stiff, but with containers inside, it keeps its shape. It has both a small handle and a long strap too. I've carried it into work quite a bit and haven't ever had any problems. I hope this helps!

I don't think it will slide around. I keep a few things in mine all the time - empty grocery bags, etc. I've never had a problem with sliding.

My response is the same as the previous one. I have not had any problem with my shoes sliding from one compartment to another either. I am very happy with it.

I think I would be cautious. I have had a bit of trouble with them coming apart, thankfully nothing serious. The instructions for assembly were pretty vague. I'm sure there are better storage solutions for your yarn than these.

I think smoothly. Of course I'm not getting yarn out, several times a day. Like them so much. Bought 2; then ordered 4 more. Lol

We are storing gloves,hats mittens all kinds of winter stuff. Its pretty sturdy on the bottom. Backpacks should be fine. Hopefully this helps you.

On mine, everything is solidly built, tightly attached. I can tell you, though, that this case is VERY heavy (at least to me). If you put a LP-type guitar in it, you'll want to minimize how much you actually have to carry it around.

I have put my sweaters between the dividers and they have not snagged or pulled at them. I have had them for almost three years already. I love them.

I do not have a problem with my laptop sliding. it has like a mesh/ rough top. my laptop has grips on the bottom.

Should not be a problem. It has little stoppers on the bottom it will not slip.

It's smooth as long as you move smoothly. There aren't any seams in mine. Mine doesn't bump.
