>Adam,

What method do you use to hold the lid open? Is there a batten on the back?

But for a host of reasons, I prefer to have my chest against a wall where the wall serves as the prop.

I hope you decide to build a traditional tool chest. It was fun, didn't take very long to build- as I recall it was a one weekend job, and its nice that can be moved, even with difficulty, perhaps if even within your shop.
