Is the hard piece supposed to go in the bottom? I removed it to unfold the metal support; the instructions didn't mention this piece. (pressboard?)

Yes, as I remember the hard piece goes on the bottom. My dog is comfortable in this

yes, the hard piece is supposed to go in the bottom so your dog can sit comfortably.

Yes, Initially found it difficult. Now we got to know the trick :)Press the blue cover from top and bottom with one hand and use the other hand to push it outwards.

We just set it in on top of the press board. If yours is broken, you could set a sheet of plywood in its place.

After folding the board in half, are you then turning it sideways (what would be the long side if not folded) to the wall before then folding it up to be perpendicular with the wall? If you fold it when it is straight out from the wall, and then attempt to lift it up to the wall, it won't go, because the wide end of the board hits the mounting bracket. Fold it in half, turn the board sideways to the wall, and then fold it up against the wall. That's how it's designed to work - mine has always worked wonderfully, and I love it!

I think they need to include instructions. Agree that you can't push the thing up from the bottom. I just use the top and push hard. In the old days you used to be able to push up from the bottom. That seems to work.

There's a plastic (polyethylene?) board/stiffener along the bottom. It's removable (just sits at the bottom), somewhat flexible, but rigid enough to keep the bottom somewhat flat without sagging.

To be honest, I had a friend install it! It came with a "blue print" and screws, and it seemed to be attached from the bottom.The friend who installed it, said it wasnot hard.I would contact the manufacturer.

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

Make sur you push it down. It should kind of click. Once in, it's pretty secure. If not, something might be off.

Double check to make sure you have the correct pieces on each end and that they are the right direction (top/bottom). I had trouble snapping mine together and then I realize I had one piece facing wrong. I made the change and it all went together really easily and everything exactly like it was supposed to.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

Start over take it apart recheck directions, and read them slowly. You may have something upside down. Don't get frustrated, or annoyed, it will go together, if all pieces are placed in right direction.

spring mag - bb pushed into slot with spring at bottom - spring pushes bb back up

you pull the bottom part to the side a little (right from where it connects to the top part). got it? it took me slight effort to figure it out.

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

There is a plastic screw that is flush within the top tier. Someone posted a picture of the screw being used to secure the bottom tier. It is the same screw used to secure the top tier when fully assembled.

You need to fuss with it some and do it opposite from what you think. The Bottom is really the top./.....and the sides fold in a little. I wish I had pictures for you but I don't from where I am today.....
