Does it truly stay open with the sides upright for easy access as the picture suggests?

Yes mostly- it does have a bit of a barrier, but the walls are a tiny bit saggy.

This answer applies to the small swoop bag: I only saw it briefly after my nephew opened his gift, but the thing I remember is that the bag is very stiff and the sides do stay up. I did not expect it to be so stiff; in fact pulling the drawstring requires a fair amount of effort because the fabric is so strong.

No, it does not stay open with the sides upright. You can open it with the sides up but it falls very easily and does not stay up. It is flat when they are playing with the toys and then you pull the strings to close it when they are done playing.

Yes, it can open from both sides. I have seen others styles that have one side function but the one I purchased fully functions from either side. We love it and plan to order another one soon!

The top will stay open by itself if you open it all the way. It does not have hinges that keep it open.

It does stay closed and when I open it does make a popping sound and opens fairly easy.

It doesn't stay closed on the "open" side...no. I put it into a carrier when I take it anywhere, so it doesn't matter to me. I adore this unit.

Yes, it opens up for storage and is hinged so one does not have to completely lift off the lid to open it.

It has magnets that keeps it closed. I carry mine in my purse and have had no problem with it opening.

Yes it does - this pic gives the appearance of being "open" on the side but that is just the cardboard advertising.

No it doesn't. It's a sturdy hold and the drawers are the only feature that opens. You'll like it.

Yes the sides are open, I have a wooden frame around mine with decorative access doors to get to the plumbing.

Yes it does; that is how it is shipped. But once it is open, it stays open well.

Yes it opens in the middle. It hold up with a shower curtain type rod and has velcro tabs to hold closed in the middle and the sides.

No. It does stay open and stays pretty flat when using. Quite like the little calendar. Had one for this year, too.

It does but I suspect that this is because it's still quite new and the lid is still stiff. Once I really break it in I think it will be able to stay open on its own. Overall it's a lovely piece and quite useful. I highly recommend it.

Yes, it can stay open; it is sturdy enough. You must be more organized than I, bec mine is never empty! I does keep the car in order, and it also can fold, so not too bulky if not being used. It's a useful piece.

Yes, but only in the straight upright position. It's not designed for this angle, but if you open the cover halfway, it will stay up. Mostly.

Yes, it stays open. The lid however doesn't lift very high, but it will stay open.
