Can it be used when it is folded or does it need to be opened up to be stable?

Stable in folded position to use as smaller trimmer. Unfold just for larger pieces of paper.

It is fairly stable, however, it works better for me open. The side guide helps me make sure I have the paper aligned and now just slightly off.

Yes it works folded. If you unfold it is a little better at getting cuts more square but I'm still looking for the perfect cutter. Every Fiskar trimmer I've had never seems to cut square for me. No matter how careful I am it just doesn't seem to cut square. Another thing is you need to hold down on the bar good or paper will move. Make sure you hold down on blade or it won't cut all the way through.

Surprisingly enough, it does look like you 'could' use it folded. Since it doesn't fold in the middle, if you push too hard on the cutting end, it gets tippy/wobbly because that portion remains unsupported by the folded portion. But,...but as long as you hold it down securely on the other side, even folded, it does sit flat and level. So, yes, it 'can' be done, but probably not ideal for heavy use.

If you are attaching it to a desk, no. If it is left free-standing it definitely needs to be slightly folded to stay upright.

I would say 'not really' because folding may make it pop (get cold). It definitely doesn't lie flat because the main system bulges in the middle that needs to be 'broken' (snapped). Hope that helps.

Yes. It has a latch to keep it folded up. In my opinion it is easy to open and close. Jope this helps.

Yes it folds and no damage but will not stay folded unless you hold it down.

No. You can't fold it. You wouldn't want it folding while doing tricks on it.

Yes. It lifts off so it can be raised or lowered. Legs fold flat for easier storage.

It stays open but there are tea to fold it up if you want to. But that does take some effort. It will not collapse on its own.

I leave it out in my basement for two reasons. One, if I had to drag it out from under the bed, it wouldn't get used as often. Two, unless your bed is higher than most, it will not fit and even if you take the stability bar off, what it fits into would have to be removed from the legs every time. It does come folded, but it takes almost 20 minutes to put it together (minimum 20 minutes), so unless you are more determined than I am, I would not do that every time I decide to use it.

It comes folded, so you would just do the reverse of how you put it up. However, it is not something I would put up and down everyday. We use it in the house during the winter and put it away for the summer.

Yes it can be folded up and stored upright with the saw mounted on it. That is how I store my stand and saw all the time.

Its pretty easy to fold up but to transport it from one area to another takes some strength. I usually have to leave it in a stationary spot (open),or ask my husband to stow it away. Hope this was helpful.

Yes it folds up but doesn't have a lock to hold it up so I use the string it comes with. Love it though!!!

No it stays upright. There is no way to fold this stand. The stand is heavy metal in a fixed position.

It won't fold up. But it does stand up on an end very easily for storing out of the way.

We leave ours up all the time but it is definitely not heavy if you have to fold it away. I have a bad back and I find the weight ok
