Does NOT stand up.
This would be a great cane IF it stood up as advertised, but the base is just not wide/heavy enough to support the handle portion. On my kitchen tile it would stand up if the handle was in a certain position, but on any textured surface it fell over. I understand they want the base small to fold and store easily, but if it doesn't work, don't promote it as such. I didn't want to use the strap because I wanted my hands to be free so I put my foot on the base to keep it upright. It's definitely not worth the full price they ask. Make a wider base that folds in besides or around the collapsible cane and you'll have a winner! If you're looking for a cane solely for the purpose of standing up..don't buy this! Get the good old fashioned quad foot type. They come in different colors and are less expensive!
