does this scale have to be stored flat or can it be stored up right

I have stored it upright in the original box and have had no problems with it..

I bought one a couple months ago and keep it stored upright without a problem.

I store mine flat, see no reason why it couldnt be upright except for tipping over and cracking the glass top.

I keep mine in my bathroom. I have had it for about 3 months now and it works great and is very accurate. Best scale I have ever owned.

I can only say I store my scale on its side and it seems to be working fine

The scale is 12" by 12". Its a nice scale but has to be kept flat on the floor and not propped on the wall when nott in use or it has to recalculate each time and the weight won't be accurate until the second time weighing but if you keep it flat it is a great scale.

This scale like any other that uses a load-cell array needs to be used on a hard, flat surface in order to achieve an accurate reading. I wish I had a permanent home for mine but there is no room for it. I store mine leaning against the side of the vanity cabinet, then bring it into the bathroom (5' away) and use it there.

It does store flat but be aware not to put to much in it or the chain will snap!

Yes the legs do fold so it becomes flat and you can store it. But be careful you don't catch your fingers because the legs do not lock.

I did store mine the same way. Works the same when getting it out from sealed bag.

I don't know. I've been using mine since I bought it and have not tried to store it.

I've been using this scale for about two weeks and it's very stable. The reason for this is that the scale is wider than most other scales and the scales' support structures are located on the outer sides of the scale, allowing for better distribution of the weight to be measured on the scale's surface. With this scale, it is good to note that you will need to step on one of the corners and then step off in order to turn it on and allow the scale to "zero out" before weighing yourself on it. The instructions for this scale did not state that fact and I almost returned the scale because it displayed an error message when I first bought it.

I put it in my backpack. It isn't super flat but flat enough so long as your backpack isn't crammed full.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

John,It will stay upright. You can not push it all the way down so it lies flat. Hope this helps.

Kind of. Like the others have said, when you take the pins out, you can stack the walls so it will store flat.

I looked in the manual for an answer to this question and could not really find one. It talked about how to store a weight taken when you can not see the screen due to the size of the item being weighed.

It can be stored upright if it is supported on both sides otherwise it will bend

Yes! I love it! It can sometimes be off if you move it around so, just be consistent, you can't get a better scale for the price!
