I read all the stuff that says the lid is fragile. But does it open from front to back, from right to left, of from left to right?

The lid is indeed fragile. Cuisinart exchanged one for me and the new one broke also. As a matter of fact the time buttons do not work well and they broke. I ended up using a chop stick to start the coffee maker. I loved the bling, but finally gave in an got a new coffee maker. It opens from front to back. FYI, I had a similar maker w/out the bling that lasted over 10 years. Actually it still works, I gave it to a friend. It is just this bling coffee maker.

The lid is fragile, Opens from the front and swings up to the back so you can fill with water and coffee, but it is hinged to the unit so be careful. The first unit I had was replaced by Cuisinart because it had a defective latch. The company provided a new unit, and all I can say one of the best customer service provider I have ever dealt with. This type of service sold me.

The main answer is that IT'S BREAKABLE! The glass is very thin, and while it is attractive, a gust of wind could damage it. The lit is slightly rounded. When it broke, I found out that one cannot replace the lid alone and must buy the whole shebang. Not a good deal.

I would say no. When the lid is firmly attached, you can pick it up by the lid and it doesn't open.

The lid flips open and tilts back enough so it will stay open by itself. That way you can use both hands to retrieve files. I really like this file and have 3 now but am going to order another one after Christmas.

It does not snap, it only rests on top! Personally, I like it that way because my 6 month old has no problems with getting the lid off but you do have to be extra careful when cleaning up or transporting it around!!

The lid is supposed to open. If it isn't the gasket is leaking. This is why I replaced mine. It works as it should now.

If you mean open the lid, then yes, it is easy to open. But because of the design, it takes a slightly different pull on the lid. Instead of just lifting the lid straight up, I find it easier to lift at a slight angle.

Both sides lock and unlock independently and will open the lid even if the other side is locked, but you can't unlock both sides from a single lock. If the driver side is unlocked and the passenger side locked, you can still open by pushing the driver side button and vise versa, but if both sides are unlocked, in order to completely secure it you would have to manually lock both with the key. Which wasn't a big issue for me. I always keep both sides locked anyway. Turn the key, pop it open, and immediately lock it back so that when I close it, both sides stay locked. Just make sure you have a spare key handy in case you lock your keys in it, or just don't lock your keys in it like I did. I researched several boxes both online and in person at some local retailers. I ended up paying about 50% more for this box from Amazon than the others with similar specs, but I think it's well worth it. It's a very solid and better built box, not to mention it looks good. The welds are neater, the finish is cleaner, and the lid has a good tight seal. I didn't like the seal at first, but once I figured out if you just gently push it closed from either side, both latches engage with minimal effort instead of trying to slam it shut causing it to bounce back open. All in all, it's a great box. I know that's more than you asked for. I tend to ramble. Hope this helps.

It is certainly easy for a right-handed person. I can easily open it with my left hand, though that's not my dominant hand, so I am very confident that the answer is yes.

where the black handle comes to the front there is a silver little button push it in and you can lift the lid. It is hinged on the back, the sides and top are one piece.

I had to take the lid off and open it but it opened fine. I had purchased a pack of 3 and had no issues with any of them.

I push on the metal lid with a tool of some kind to deform it so it opens, as you probably have figured out. I lay the lid on the counter upside down and push on the inside of the lid with the same object (the handle of a wooden spoon) to make it pop back the other way. It will then snap right back on the opening with no problem. Low-tech solution, but it works fine.

Hi Carol, Yes the door opens from the Left side to the Right side in the front. There is no visible handle like on an average refrigerator, it is a hidden handle at the top on the left side. It is indented so you can pull it out. Also, with no handle sticking out...then no one can walk into the handle or get their clothes caught on it. The Danby has a nice top that is strong and can be used as a shelf if needed. It cleans easily too! The Danby DUF408WE is a wonderful freezer and it is Totally Silent when running! When you open the door it has a suction effect and the motor makes a low hum. After you close the door, you can feel and see the door suction inward as it makes it air tight. The Danby is really the best freezer I have ever owned. The Danby is one of the best decisions I ever made! (Hmmm...of course the Best decision I ever made was when I met my wife and we both knew we were Soul Mates for life!) If you choose this model freezer you will not be disappointed. Hope this review helps you? Best regards ~ Marc

Hello, Yes, it is just as pictured. Opens to the left, hinges on the left, opens and fastens from the right side.

YES. YES. (I don't know who said 'no' because mine definitely goes all the way back). The top has acrylic hinges atop the back intersecting with the cover and allows the top open completely all the way backward if desired.

Its setup to open on the left but I'm sure you can configure it to open from the right but it will take some handy carpentry work.

The lid is made from heavy cardboard. I think it will eventually be able to remain open after it is bent back frequently. BTW it is a really beautiful item. Even better than its photo.
