Is it easy to open and close?

Yes, it is. Ours is very smooth to open. There is a latch on the back of the top cushioned step that locks the stool in place when open. When ready to close, just lift up on the latch, push the back bottom rung with your foot and it closes smoothly and easily.

Yes. Little level pulls out. Slight movement and will fold up. Level is what locks step stool so it doesn't collapse when standing in it.

Yes it is, but we don't close it very often. They sent me 2 when I ordered it, when I called they said it comes like that

I wish I could answer that. We never close it. It has a nice spot at the end of my kitchen counter open, and used as a seat as much as a stool

If you keep it clean it's very easy to open. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Yes real easy to open, there are three two double A battery compartments, six batteries total each with finger push tab over to open.

Yes - very easy. Pull the string and it clicks open as others have described like an umbrella.

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.

Yes it's extremely easy to set up and collapse. It literally just opens in seconds and folds back closed. I love it for my 3 year old!

Yes, it sure opens like that! You can buy it without a second thought! :) I use mostly all the time, without keeping my hands engaged :D

Yes it is and it works very well. Stays closed when it is suppose to & opens quickly & easily when YOU want it to.

Yes it does open easy. However I had a elastic colored headband that I use to keep it closed since it didn't come with one attached

it is not difficult to open. it slides open and you just have to be careful to open only one dose at a time.

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

Very easy, since it opens from the top, as well as the end. It's all plastic, so could be hosed out, if necessary.

Yes, they are soft lids not the snap-on type so very easy to open and close.

It's much easier than others I've tried. You push 2 buttons to open. But the baby definitely cannot open it. Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to close because you have to line up the bottom just right, but it really is no longer than a few seconds.

It closes very very easily. They're is literally no effort. Just lift the locking mechanism at the bottom and fold. Super easy.

I think it may be a little too tight at the ends if left in console position. It's very easy to open though.
