Yes. There is a little red switch on the inside that will keep the lid open.

Yes, there is a small latch that you can switch so the lid stays open. Very useful for taking the bag out or putting in a new one

I don't think the lid stays open unless you are actively stepping on the pedal.

As long as you push the lid into groove, it stays on very tight. I am very pleased with mine. I got them about 6-7 months and had no problem.

The instructions say you should lock it down, which I found odd. If you don't latch it, the lid can rise a bit.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

Absolutely! With the latches locked small parts in our shop will not fall out. Even if the box is dropped the lid stays latched most of the times. We buy them by the case and have over a hundred in use.

Yes, it stays open, but only all the way open. Once it starts to close it will fall shut. Laura N. is correct. It is very light weight. Lid would not cause bodily harm, but would startle small child. Kids learn so fast, should not be a problem.

Yes. The lid has a spring loaded hinge, it will clamp shut from all positions until it is pulled back all the way; at which point it will stay open

When you release the foot pedal it closes by itself, slowly (which is good, no slam). However, you can lift it straight up by hand and it will lock into place, which is good for removal of the plastic bin and for times when you have a few trips to make to the trash.

yes the lid closes tight....seems to stay shut it's a snug fit....no latch only friction.....seems very sturdy to sit on.

The lid stays open while you are working inside the bench. There is no danger of it falling closed on your kids, unless another kid pushes it closed. (Let's face it, they're kids, right?) :) But as for the lid "self closing", no, that's not going to happen. I use it to store my crochet work, and have no issues with the lid.

Leave the flap open when you screw on the lid so it doesn't build up air pressure.

Mine stayed closed so well I had to loosen it a bit so I could flip it open easier. You should have no problems. (:

Yes the lid lock click close and no mess when turn upside-down. I have these pretty bobbin box for more than a year now. Sturdy and really serving its purpose. My bobbins are well organized. So happy with the purchase so far. The plastic is not fragile to break like other bobbin box.

Yes- if properly put together it can. My grand-daughter uses it for her "babies" and has no trouble with the lid staying open and only comes down when she puts it down.

No. The spigot stays put, but the two carry handles make it easy to manage. I do make sure to be careful how I place it in the car, though, so the spigot doesn't get opened during transit. It's just the kind of thing that could happen to me...
