Is there a sturdy board in the bottom of the bag or does the whole bag just conform to the shape of its contents?

There is sturdy board in the bottom of the bag, only the top conform to the shape of its contents

There's a plastic (polyethylene?) board/stiffener along the bottom. It's removable (just sits at the bottom), somewhat flexible, but rigid enough to keep the bottom somewhat flat without sagging.

there is a sturdy board underneath the bag. the bag is very well designed and great quality and good location of pockets. I have been using mine for over 1 year, and it has yet to fray or have zipper problems

No, the bottom is the same as the sides. It actually sags if you use the shoulder strap. Still a good cooler bag and it's really big but it isn't very structurally rigid.Also, as with most cooler bags, the inside liner is thin. I cut mine the second time I used it. I tend to be hard on these though and it's no worse than any other cooler bag liner.

Yes it does and the bag is a heavy duty one that will not fall apart. the bag also has holdup instructions on the inside.

The bottom of the bag is solid. It's a great bag. My son uses it daily & it's very well made.

Hi Pamela, The bottom of the swoop bag is fully flat, but the side of the bag is still up. It's like a bowl. :) Great bag. My boys love it.

The bottom is flat - but it would have to stand up in the bag and couldn't lay flat the long way. It is a nice durable cooler - but have noticed it sometimes leaks so instead of using ice cubes maybe try the cold packs. Overall great cooler!

I've found that if the bag isn't packed very full, it wants to tip over onto its top unless I place most of the items on what would be the bottom when standing upright. When the bag is full, it stands on its own, no problem.

I have to be honest, I bought this for my daughter. I did see it and it does look very sturdy. I have not heard anything negative from her about the bag.

The top and bottom of bag seem to be, but the sides are not insulated. Just hard plastic inserts on sides to give it rigidity, inside the nylon sides.

The sides are the same soft material but there are rods within the edges and a divider between the compartments so when you unfold it it is sturdy

Yes. There is a sturdy piece of plastic on the bottom. I have the open tote for my computer and other daily things. Since September of last year, I have used it every work day, and it is still going strong. And this closed version is likewise sturdy. I have killed other purses in two weeks with my purse stuff and my work stuff. At last I have found something which gives back (Nature Conservatory), which is just right and durable, and which is recycled plastics. Can't say enough about these products. Also the zipper pouches organize my purse in a super cool way! So, yes, there is a durable plastic piece in the bottom of these that keeps things sorted out. Yes.

Yes it does have a sturdy bottom, however it's a woven pattern so not sure how comfortable it would be. I love these!

Felt on bottom on pieces. The box stays closed with magnets; in addition, mine came with a linen carrying bag. We have been very happy with ours

The bag does not have additional rigid inserts The partitions of the bag are heavy duty and it holds shape well, not thin at all

The bottom is flat; but check the bag's dimensions to ensure that the book will fit.
