What is trick to taking down? - instructs say, "Hold top of center frame section. Lift slightly, walk towards partner as frame folds in". Not working!

I don't have this model but I'm guessing they all work the same. I had a brain fart on the beach one day (probably too much sun, or age) and couldn't get my canopy to collapse, it would not budge. After a few seconds I realized that I had forgotten to push in the little spring loaded pins that lock the top 4 corner legs and frame in place. I pushed them in and it folded up easily, single handedly, just like it had done every time before then, AND every time since then (an embarrassment that has kept me from ever forgetting again). Since you were at a music festival maybe you were suffering from a similar but different kind of brain impairment? I don't have this model but I'm guessing they all work the same.

It didn't come down for me. The frame wouldn't budge and I was stuck at a music festival and couldn't take it with so ended up scraping it, huge waste of $80. The instructions made it seem like it should easily collapse inward, never did for me.

So it can be tricky! I'm usually taking the tent down on my own at the beach while my husband runs after our 2 year old. After you have gotten it in the lowest position, pick up one leg of the tent & push inward. This may take a couple tries, but it's always folded in for me. We've probably used it a dozen or so times. Hope this helps!!

On the front vertical shaft there is a small lever. Flip that up and then the stem that the lever is on top of will swing forward and down. After you swing it down you have to push the stem to the left to retract a small pin that allows the vertical shaft the fold to the rear.

Seriously?..Grab white plastic piece with dominant hand and loping sheers with other hand and rotate in opposite directions. If this still fails sorry

I did, I saw other reviews say they were able to use it without pulling their pants down. I need to pull mine down to mid thigh to get it to work without a mess. I am hoping with more practice I will be able to do it without but for now I do have to pull them down.

To the back of the black platform on back the words "Lift to Fold" are imprinted. Under that is a black plastic latch that closes around the top rung. You must release that by retracting it from around the top metal rung. Grip there & pull up to retract the latch. Just tip it & look underneath you'll see it.

Hold small ends. While twisting, pull right side toward you and left side away, then fold over.

If I remember correctly, you put the frame partially up. Then you put the canopy on top. Then raise the frame the rest of the way up, and then put the side walls on.

Hello Chelsea,My mattress is quite heavy which made fold up hard but, you've purchased a great steady product. You have to lift the back and kind of pull up on the front at the same time. Stand behind what would be the back and try and lift close to end and pull up on front end while lifting back. Mercy, took lots of practice for me. But trust it's a great futon. YOU CAN DO IT. Best,Loretta

pull up the (disengage) the lock. I have to tilt the stool and push one of the legs toward the other. I usually do this with my foot. It takes a bit of pressure to close it and I find that this works best for me.

You have to flip down the folded up cardboard to go perpendicular to the flattened side pieces. So basically the pieces that fold up and down, go under the pieces the fold left to right. (Does that make any sense??) It's hard to explain without a photo to show the piece. I had to play with it quite a bit, and actually ripped the top part. But after I figured out these guys, Kristoff went up perfectly. :)

Pull up on the front poles! Go too Youtubetype in Island Shade Shacks there are several vids showing how to do it

You just grab the top back of the table and lift. Easy to take it up. However, taking it back down requires it to come all the way up to reset the hinge before going back down.

I love my Anti=Gravity Chair. Yes, when I first got it I fell on my back too. Then I decided there had to be a easy way to open the chair and I found it. While the chair is folded up set it down on the deck while holding the back rest in your left hand. Then find the arm rest and push down on it until the legs separate to fully open. (That is important) Push down on the back rest until the chair is in a sitting upright position, then it is safe and easy to sit down on it. Use the heels of your shoes to raise up the foot until it is in the position of recline you prefer. When opened correctly it should be in the position of a regular chair when you attempt to sit on it. I hope that helps you to enjoy your chair. Ray Wright

Damgto is right, just lift the board. Flipping it over is a pain. I've been doing it 30 years.

You just lift it all the way up to the top and it will fall back down to the bottom. Then you lift it slowly to the position you choose. :-)

once you get the height set for you , your arms control the balance. when you raise your arms up you invert, put your arms by your side and you get upright again. it takes a few tries to get it right but the handle bars makes it easy enought to get upright. tip: start out bottom heavy and 20 degree setting until you get comfortable then adjust from there.good luck and i hope you enjoy the inversion table, it worked wonders for me
