How easy is it to fold up to store? Would it be a big pain to do it after each use?

It's very heavy and cumbersome to fold up and it caused a lot of bruises. Storage was an issue because it didn't lie flat on the ground or against the wall-it was best to keep it out. Also, putting it together was a royal pain as it had mismatched parts and screws and such. We weren't happy with it and sold it.

I do fold it after each use and lean it against the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I manage (I am a 50 yo 5'3" arthritic woman). I have bumped my knees with it a couple of times though. Unfolding is very easy. It isn't too bad if you are only carrying it a short distance.

Its pretty easy to fold up but to transport it from one area to another takes some strength. I usually have to leave it in a stationary spot (open),or ask my husband to stow it away. Hope this was helpful.

It's super easy to fold up. :-) I fold it up and rest it against the wall after each use. But, it doesn't exactly fold completely flat. But, I LOVE my Gazelle! :-)

It was a huge pain in the tushey to store because it didn't lie flat so putting it under a bed or even leaning it against the wall didn't work well- in fact, it damaged our wall. I'm a short somewhat petite-ish gal and found this machine to be extremely heavy and cumbersome and I couldn't move it without help. It took up too much space in our small home. It just didn't work for us.

It is very easy bit is on cables, so there is a trechnique, but once you get it, you've got it. We store our upright though. I so not think I would like to store it under a bed.

it is easy enough to fold up, the foot pedals flop a bit, but I use a bungee to hold them up.

No, it does not fold up for storage. The frame is screwed together and is not hinged so it remains the same size whether it is in use or not.

It's not hard to fold. It takes strength or two people to lock. Easy to storeand move around. Rolls easy. Mostly it is super comfortable and my daughter is now going to buy one.

Yes, it does fold up. The folding is fairly easy, however it does not go completely flat so even when folded it is pretty large. I thought I would be folding it and putting it away after each use, but I actually have never done it as it doesn;t save that much room. Instead I just put it against a corner wall in my office.

It folds up but it is heavy and a handfull to manage. Its not really something you want to do every time you use it-especially if you have a bad back!

Yes - it is easy to fold up. This is a great item, at a great price. The only complaint I have are the wheels are big & take up a lot of room in a car. Would purchase the item again, if needed.

Yes, it can be folded for storage. It is made of some pretty thick plastic, so good luck getting it into the neat shape that you receive it in from the manufacturer, but it isn't difficult to fold and store.

It folds upto about 10 inches thick. Very easy to store. It would be just as heavy if not heavier than a metal play yard though. You might be better served with a plastic one.

It is very easy to fold and store and then take out and set up. Total time to do either is less than 2 minutes. Just remove the pole prior to folding up.

We have not had a need to re-fold it after initial assembly. But...it can't be too hard!

Very easy... it folds up just like one of the campfire chairs that stores in its own bag. This cot stores in a similar bag. The material (of the storage bag) isn't as thick as I'd like it to be and I anticipate it tearing after repeated use, but finding another bag to keep it in won't be a problem. This cot was worth every penny we paid for it. My 2.5 year old does great with it.

Hello Michelle, Very easy to use so have no fears. Once up one arm has a notch in it that just locks up with one of the drying bars. Just lift up that same arm and it folds away. Hope this helps :-)

Yes, very easy to fold up. The challenge will be storing the piano itself. :-)

It is possible to fold and store, but it does take a little time. I put ours under my granddaughter's crib with the handle sticking out over the side

If you can fold it neatly you can store it in a Rubbermaid box. However, if you don't have at least two people to put it away it's going to be pretty hard. I always have whoever is with me help me Before and after we use it. If you are leaving it inflated you might try hanging a couple of ropes in the garage and storing it on top of them. (Like makeshift rafters)

My husband assembled it and it didn't look as though it would be too hard to take it down again. I wouldn't recommend it, if you thought that you would be wanting to fold it up on a frequent basis. Rather, that after use, if you weren't going to use it for quite a while, it could be stored easily, until the next time needed. I'm probably not very helpful, but since the ad for this cage didn't use "folding up" as a selling point, I don't think it's made for that. Best of luck. Geneise
