Is this easy to DISASSEMBLE? I'm looking to use it for a display shelf at an expo and need something that I can break down at the end of the day.

I haven't had to disassemble ours, so I can't say definitively. Almost all of the various bars and shelves are held into the connecting brackets by pressure. For things to fit securely many recommend using a rubber mallet to tap them into place. I'm sure with a little force they would slide apart. If you're frequently assembling and disassembling the unit though, these connection points may loosen over time. That wouldn't matter so much with the vertical pieces, as long as you're not planning on going a great deal of weight on the shelves. It would be more critical on the horizontal connections, but if you have a vehicle which would allow you to leave those sections connected, they would lay flat anyway.

Easy to dissasemble? Yes, actually it will even dissasemble itself! If you want something that breaks down and or just breaks in general, this item is for you!

I use these racks for displaying my products at vendor events, where I'm the only one setting up and breaking down my booth. They are very easy to assemble and disassemble; take a rubber mallet with you to help with both steps! It takes me less than 10 mins to assemble and a maybe 12-15 to disassemble if I'm taking my time so I don't sweat a bunch in my nice clothes. :)

It all just presses together, so should be easy t pull apart, but i havent tried.

It wasn't too difficult. If you don't assemble it too tightly it should go pretty quickly. If I were using it like that I think I would try to keep most of the horizontal pieces put together and only take apart the verticals.

I have never completely disassembled but I imagine it would be fairly simple to do. The plastic stand is easy to take down; it would be the actual metal rack that might be troublesome. I will say it's perfectly light weight for travel.

Yes, this totally disassembles easily. The crates are held by snap rods to the frame.

I just reassembled one that had been carefully disassembled. It is very sturdy now. However, a couple of the shelves got a small veneer loss during the disassembly. I do not see any loss of functionality due to disassembly.

Not really. You have to completely disassemble it if you want to put it away. It does disassemble easy, but it's time-consuming if you want to do it everyday.

I think you could disassemble easily enough, but I might be concerned with sturdiness after re-assembling. The screws might not "bite" like they do after initial construction. Though the screws are mainly for the outside shell, so it might be fine

Although I don't have the need to disassemble this, I don't think it would be an issue. I love it in my office and use it everyday.

I've taken it apart for a move before. It's not terribly straightforward but with a power drill I disassembled it in under an hour.

I found it very easy to assemble (and did it on my own). I don't think it would be any trouble to disassemble, and reassemble if you kept the package instructions. This is a very study toy.

You can break it up. The backs and armpieces come off. Not too heavy either.

It is relatively easy to put together, so it would be relatively easy to take down. If you are getting this to do with shows I would reevaluate your decision though. Mine Is just in a corner in my house so it just stays right there and I got it because you can spin the racks around to get your hats.

You have to take it pretty much apart... You can leave two panels connected and fold those in half. Assembly is actually really easy, though! The panels are just connected by pins so it's fairly quick and simple to break down/put up.

I have not tried as it would mean to disassemble. Might be possible but is not meant to be removed by design. I guess security would find the whole thing risky even withouth the nice. There are quit a few sharp tools on this beauty.

I don't think it is meant to be disassembled. However, it is very lightweight and easy to move. I store it in one room until my granddaughter comes then move it to our kitchen. It is small enough that it will easily fit into a backseat if it needed to be taken to another location..

In regards to the question of whether the shelf is removable, I figure I should clarify that the shelf can only be removed by partially disassembling the cart (or by never installing it when you initially assemble the cart). So, if you always want the shelf or never want the shelf, it will work well for you, but if you want a shelf that you can easily attach and remove from time to time, then this shelf would not be very practical for you.

Super easy. I believe an allen wrench comes with it. There are maybe 6 bolts that hold the whole thing together. This stand survived three moves, and I ended up selling mine used because it didn't match my living room. Highly recommended.

Yes...it would be easy with two ppl, but doable by yourself. I would not prefer to break them down regularly since they are not like origami shelves, however, they are much sturdier.
