A load floor assembly includes a storage bin including a bin body. The bin body defines an open inner cavity. The load floor assembly further includes a load floor movably coupled to the storage bin between a fully open position and a closed position. Further, the load floor is movable among a plurality of partially open positions. The load floor assembly further includes a multi-open position mechanism movably coupling the load floor to the storage bin. The multi-open position mechanism include a first link movably coupled between the storage bin and the load floor, a second link movably coupled between the storage bin and the load floor, and an elastic member coupled between the storage bin and the load floor to allow the load floor to remain stationary relative to the storage bin in the plurality of partially open positions.
