My Stand+ is really hard to openUpdated a month ago

To ensure the stand is strong enough to support the weight of your Display, the hinges are quite firm. 

We recommend extending the Stand+ in both hands with the display detached before trying to mount your espresso.

Please also see our full overview of Stand+ below:

If you feel like your Stand+ is still too difficult to work with, please get in touch with us directly via our contact page.
