When the stool is not in use, does the base of it stand up straight by itself, or does it need to be leaning on something?

The stool will stand up straight on its own. The stool does not need to lean on anything. Even when tipped over slightly, the stool will "rebound" to a stable, upright position.

It's has its own base and will stand on its own using that alone indoors. The base has holes in it to bolt/screw it to your patio if using outdoors where wind could be a problem.

It does stand straight because there is a metal frame in the chair. It's does a few reclining positions.

We keep ours down unless we r serving. When it's up and someone leans on it I wouldn't trust it. If it's not leaned on then it's fine. It's held by a swivel piece of wood. Beautiful island.

I don't understand your first question but yes it stands on its own but not vertically only horizontally

The top is hinged and lifts so it can stand straight up on its own. It does not flip back behind the unit.

"Locking mechanism" is not the right term. You do have to depress the sides at their center point to get the stool to fold. When there is weight on the opened-up stool, depressing those side panels is very difficult to do. So, have no qualms about standing on it safely.

No. This is a light folding chair. Leaning on it to stand up is a bad idea.

I just put it together, I would not worry about tipping over, however if all you keep in it is light, you might have to but your foot in front of the base as you turn it.

Its fine standing, or on a short stool for me. 5'9". Tall stools not so good... I use it for Reloading, and gunsmithing, and am very pleased with it.

absolutely. And it will also stand on its own, without anything to lean against. Just did it this afternoon at the airport.

It is meant to be installed on the toilet, so it will be stable enough to provide support. It can be removed, with some tools, if you are no longer needing it.

It needs to be on it's side. Sometimes you can get the balance just right for it to stand up, but it wasn't engineered to do so.

can stand by itself but should be butted against a wall so it is more stable.

You actually won't need a stand depending on how you place his stance. Mine is currently displayed using his own feet.

It stands on it's own. The only time ours has toppled is when it was full and someone knocked into it.

It is staked into the ground. As far as inside, it would need to be stabilized for it is quite wobbly on its own.
