Is this track easy to assemble and disassemble? I would like to be able to store it away when it is not being used.

Very easy assembling and disassembling. The most difficult part for me was becoming a perfectionist about getting all the little stickers on Thomas.

very easy to disassemble, i put it away in the closet when not in use but it still takes up room. if you look in the picture the pieces break off when the red meets the grey track, so it breaks off into 4 pieces

Never had to remove mine. It can be done because I installed mine backwards in the beginning. Two little clips that you pull out or press in along the tracks.

Hi Sue, the unit is easy to assemble - and disassemble. Just remove the screws holding the section you want to take apart, and keep the instruction page handy. I know there is nothing written, but the page is easy to follow. Be careful to line the parts back up correctly, and realize, the more you do this, the larger the screw holes can become, so be careful. Moving it in sections should be easy.

Yes... But the whole track breaks in pieces and is unable to be moved without falling apart... Wouldn't recommend.. We threw ours away after less than a month because my son was upset it was always in pieces....

It was easy to assemble and I do not believe you would have to disassemble completely if you wanted to move it or store it flatly. We have not taken it apart, we use it regularly and it has held up well--even for a teen girls sleepover.

Each of the track pieces snap together. When I put it away, I keep about 20 - 30 of the track together and store in a large tub. That way I only have about 10 - 15 spots to connect when it is play time.

I've had no trouble assembling it thus far. It comes apart into 6 pieces and each end of each piece has a color coded sticker on it (not the cheap kind of stickers, but the kind that should stay on for a long time), so it's fairly easy to know which piece to connect where. Even without the stickers I don't think it's difficult to figure out. The actual physical assembly is not difficult either, takes me probably no more than 5 minutes, perhaps even less. No tools needed. Disassembling it also takes only a few minutes.

I would say it's not terribly portable. It is rather lightweight, but tall and bulky. I certainly would not want to take it apart and re-assemble it. Putting it together was not fun and I would not want to deal with that over and over.

I bought two sets and honestly? Now I have too many pieces :) this is a very good size track with lots of different pieces. I like having two sets though and would recommend that to anyone that could afford the extra pieces.

It was easy to assemble so I guess it would be to disassemble. We haven't had to.

The ends have plastic caps. I suppose you could take them off. That length of track would get kinda wobbly but I suppose it could be done.

Oh dear...we have no disassembled it as yet. Right now it is tethered up to the ceiling of our dock house for easy take down when getting ready for an evening movie. The weather is about to change of course and we are going to store it up for the winter. But I'll keep your question in mind and respond again if we found an 'easy' trick to disassembling. Sorry that I cannot answer your question at this time.

You can take a couple screws out of the track pretty easy. This is a wonderfully sturdy product. Highly recommend it.

If you have a big enough box it can be stored assembled. Or you can store it with some pieces assembled rather than all the individual ones. You do not need all the pieces everytime, you can make the track the size and shape you want. My 2yr old makes 2 different tracks lol.

The track is on the top only. All the hardware was included and works great for the doorway where I placed it, folds against the wall when open, so not in the way if you want to leave it open.

I had the race track in the entryway for a party and left it there for several weeks after for my kids to play on. It did tear in 2 places, but I was very happy with it. It held up well for the number of people playing and walking on it. (I took others' advice and used different tape- I used red painters tape. It held it down and came off my tile without a problem.)

You have to disassemble it..but its very easy to do. I usually just keep it up with a bag in it and leave it on my back porch. Im very happy with it.
