How easy is it to open?

Once you get the hang of it, it took me a while but then again I am not the sharpest knife.... You push down the top step to open and pull up the top step to close, very easy

You have to use both hands and push down on the top step to lock it into place. It doesn't require a lot of force, but you do need both hands.

I think it's easy, 'has a snap-fit to the top step and the part that holds it when folded up or down.

The step stool is easy to open and is very sturdy. It's my favorite - I'm vertically challenged, so have them all around the house! It is heavier than my other stools, but since I don't move it around much that's not an issue for me.

It does take a bit of effort. It is much better than my last step stool which never went to the closed position because it was to difficult to change. I am happy with this step stool and would purchase it again if I needed to do so. As long as you have a little strength you can open and close it. It also loosens up a bit, but not dangerously so.

Yes but its not like a tube you can open it, its very simple and easy to use.

Is very easy. Use both of your fingers to pull it out, you can also adjust it. The first time takes more time but then is very easy.

Mine is very easy, both 95-year-old mother and grandchildren, just old enough to stand can open it. I wonder if one of your walls isn't square, pushing the gate into an incorrect position.

What everyone else said. First time you don't think it will open, but it does. First pull is the hardest - it gets easier after that.

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

Extremely easy. You set the timer for the number of hours till you want it to open. Couldn't be easier!

You can open it up relatively easy with one hand and close it with one hand as well. Very easy to do but be carefully when you close it with one hand or you could hurt yourself.

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

Yes, very easy to open for anyone. It clicks to secure the top, but there is a lip at the edge that is easy to push up.

you can definitely open it using just one hand, however it's not as simple as lifting a lever or pulling on a latch it's a two step process, you must to press the button with your thumb and then pull.

It is very easy. Do not take more than a couple of minutes once you take it out of the box.

Once you open it a few times, it is easier. Please do not give up on this valuable tool. You do not want it to be so easy to open that it falls off your keyring.

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

Depends on how little. I would say easier to open then to close but still a bit tough. really depends on the individual.

If you grip the swivel disc firmly and pull up from one side it will open easily...no worry about the disc breaking off.

It's super easy to open. I use my knife daily and have never had a problem.
