What do you have to do to keep it open once the sides have been opened?

I used two small pieces of foam rubber to prop the support bars under the footrest -- I wedged them in to keep the bars from sliding closed. The are easily removed and I just use a rubber band to keep them handy on the footrest when not in use. Primitive, but it works!

Once it's standing it stays open, it only closes if you turn it upside down

Just use it. do not have to do anything, once it is opened it stays open until you close it.

It has a metal piece that drops down to keep it open. To close it you turn the stool upside down so the metal piece goes back in place allowing it to be folded again. I love this stool and take it everywhere with me! It fits perfectly in my purse.

Be sure that the folding supports, inside the top on both sides, have lowered and are "snapped open". The pressure of your feet on the top will ensure continued holding of the open position. Mine has made a huge improvement in my back and knee problems. Good luck with yours.

Hi Janeen, The front should close and stay close without any trouble. Make sure no items inside are hitting anything that might prevent the front from closing.

There are some clips on the side that they snap into place you have to use your finger nail or something to push them up or in to be able to get it open. Once you get those going then you should try to wedge something in there so as it stays open and then do the others. Either do it from the top or the bottom and then go from there. Be gentle. its difficult to open but once you put your "CLEANED" i pad in there next to nothing gets to it. Dust water etc and every few(4/5) months pop it open and clean it out.

There are flaps with Velcro at the bottom to close the windows or you can roll them and tie them up to keep them open. There is a square mesh window on the backside also.

hi; first you cut the size you need from the roll. then you seal one side and now you have a bag, sealed already at three sides. load the bag and seal the remaining/open side and .. ready you are!

Just Kidding. You can make the lid stay open. I did this morning when I changed the bag.

I have to get behind it and make sure the pins are behind the metal tab/stopper. We also reinforced the metal tab/stopper so it was more sturdy and less prone to slip. You could probably open and close it from the side if you had two people (one on each side). When in a sitting position make sure it isn't too close to the wall or it will ding/dent the wall. I placed felt stickers on the part that touches the wall and it has helped.

Push it down and you have to hold it down. Pull it all the way up and it clicks into stay open.

Just fold the door to the open position and either tape it open or use small piece of wire and twist it against the bar that best keeps it open

There is a flap on the top near the front. You just snap it open, fill it, and snap it closed. Couldn't be easier.

Hi, Mine has been open and standing upright for almost 3 years. You MUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT COMES WITH IT, VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY.That is the tricky part. I had a little trouble when I first started but then followed the direction and have never had any more problems Just start over and look at everything very carefully. Study the picture , too. I hope this helps you. Marylyn

There's nothing that holds the lid open. So when you lift it up you need to use your hand to keep the lid open otherwise it will close.

There is a smaller panel on the top that could be removed. It would leave the other side loose, but it would open.

It tends to fall in on itself until is is partially full. If you get it just right, it will stay open but it is tricky to do.

Well, you need to put significant force to open it. I have that problem too. Now I just don't close it tight so it can be easily opened.

I believe the instructions are to keep the subwoofer open & unobstructed. I have mine in a closed entertainment cabinet that I need to open when I use it.

Can't help you friend. The instruction that came with mine , stated the lid is to remain open during operation. Sorry.
