Is there a way to take it apart? I left mine outside (I thought you could do that) and it has taken on water, which I can't get out. Now it is heavy

Not to my knowledge. Mine came all assembled except putting on the pad. So sorry I can't be of any help to you.

Turn it upside down seat part on the ground. Pull up on the legs, snaps out . Mine came unassembled so it comes out easily, yours maybe not so easily. Popping back in is a little harder, if I don't get it snapped in good, my legs come out moving it .

I used the bench in the shower after I had foot surgery and could not put any weight on the foot. It got water in it & my husband drilled several small holes in a nonstructural support area of the bottom to drain it. We have also drilled extra holes in plastic lawn furniture so drainage was improved to avoid mildew.

I don't think you can get it apart and that may be the reason it is so heavy. If it were mine, I'd turn it over and drill a small (1/8") hole in the bottom of each leg then turn it over and let it drain.

I'm not sure. You may want to drill a couple of holes in the bottom to drain. You also could call Step 2 customer service at 1-800-347-8372. That would probably be the best.

I had that happen with my original one. I just drilled a small hole in each bench foot and one near the seat on each pair of legs. Then let gravity do its job draining the liquid. The same procedure can be used on the seat section. If you want you can fill the holes with vinyl adhesive.

The green legs come off of the seat part. Other than that I don't think so. You may can take them off and maybe will drain somehow.

The friction-y stuff inside may have just gotten a little tacky and doesn't want to let go, I'd say just pull it apart slowly and forcefully. If it breaks, I truly apologize. Maybe you have a defect(?). If so, I would contact the manufacturer.

No I have the same problem! It appears to be a flaw that they did not attempt to fix. I did take a pair of plyers (water pumps) and snuged it up and that does hold some what better.

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps

I had the same situation and couldn't find anyone to replace it so I just bought the whole thing. Since then I thought of perhaps a boating replacement for seats etc might be able to do it.

It's 2 pieces stuck together. It comes apart very slightly when I pull on both sides. So it looks like you could get them apart but you might break them trying. Good luck!

You have to get a new hose. The one that can be detachable. Tonic hose would be great for it.

You can probably take it apart again, there are a few screws involved but most of the parts just snapped together. Just keep the instructions!

Throw it away or use it at the beach. Now buy a new one and ask Amazon for discount for being a loyal customer. Btw keep it folded when not in use. Criggs

It can be taken apart, but it's much harder than putting it together. I would try to move it in one piece if possible.

it is just stuck. turn it hard or put it in a vise if needed. you wont hurt it. will come off.

This happened to mine. All you need to do is remove the fastener that holds the two pieces together and separate, clean in soapy water and reassemble, just don't tighten it as much as the factory did.

I just removed mine again to test it and found that it can be removed relatively easy without any issues. Good Luck!

No you cannot. You have to take it off. Hopefully the next version is water proof.

I think there is a rubber piece on the top. Pull that back and it might be in there. Haven't used mine in a while.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by taking it apart. You only need to undo the velcro, insert the metal poles back into the holes that are in the "basket" part of the carrier after washing it. The rings that the straps attach to slip through slits in the seat part. Once you do it you will see how simple it really is. I know crazy isn't it!!!

It isn't easy, but stand over the unit, push in the back "button", and pull up hard. Pushing down then up may help. You can't do it from outside the boat.
