How easy is it to fold? It is a gift and will need to be put in a potting shed each Winter. Thank you.

I regret we do not have experience folding it up but it is well designed and constructed so I would guess it does what it is supposed to do.

It's extremely easy to fold up. And it's completely flat once folded taking up very little room.

it is everything as advertised. I'm happy to have it. I'm an elderly woman and I handle it myself. It would be easier with 2 people, but handles (folded up) fine by myself. I keep it "folded" with wrapping "shock cords" around it for winter & covered with a tarp outside against the house.

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.

Outdoors would work on a sunny, calm day. This house is made out of cardboard, so wind or rain would not be good. It is very light and portable. I am not sure about the folding...probably a big pain, but I think you could. do it.

Very easy to fold. No problem. Once you open it you can easily see how it folds or "packs away". Your pet monkey could do it.

An excellent question, Rodney. For the winter, I folded it in thirds, the same way I recalled it being delivered last summer. I am afraid I don't have an answer, and my cat won't use it unless it's flat. Gettin' a lot hot where we are. Amazon users, help? Amazon, help?

Actually, I fold it up each time I'm not using it. It's a little heavy to start up, but once it gets about 1 ft off the floor it becomes much easier. Folding down is very easy as it uses a "shock absorber" to slowly lower it to the ground. In fact, I have let it go from about 2 ft above the ground and it slowly and gently lowers the rest of the way to the floor on its own.

Hi Linda. We have this gate/play yard, and I would say that it is easy to fold up and store, but I don't know your circumstance. If you are hauling it back and forth or up and down stairs, it might be too cumbersome. We use it as a gate for our wide stairs and we pack it up if we have guests or vacuum, etc. It is sizable and sort of heavy (about 30 lbs) if you are lifting it, but in general, it is easy to move around. I hope that helps.

Very easy to collapse. You just fold in the sides after folding up the bottom. It comes with a carrier. Really good product. My little great-great niece use to crawl in it and play. I bought a soft bed to put inside it for more comfort

Yes, it's very easy to fold and move away for storage. The wheels make moving it easy. But the best feature is how comfortable it is.

I only fold mine completely at the end of the season to store in the bag in my apartment, otherwise I do some simple folding and leave it in the trunk of my car. I have found trying to fold it up enough to always put it in the bag is just too much to do multiple times during the spring/summer so I just leave it enough that it can fit in my trunk

I keep it out, but it seems to be easy to fold and store. However, if you are small or weak I would say don't try to do it (I'm thinking of my 65 year old mother). But if you are healthy, it should be fine.

It's pretty easy. The gates are all connected and tighten and loosen on top for safety purposes. I literally took it out of the box set it where I wanted it and tightened in about 5 minutes. It folds together easy and has a nice snap fasten to keep it together. It is very bulky but that comes with the territory. Planning to keep it for a puppy playpen when the baby grows out of it.

Sort of...its a bit difficult to fold I have to say but if its flat it'll stay. I think some a clip may have come with it but I have not figured out how to use it. It wouldn't be something I'd have my parent try to fold up themselves and get it into a car. My parent mostly uses it just in the house.

I don't think it is hard to fold or store, but I have hard wood floors so it slides easily. Once folded it is maybe around 8 inches to a foot in depth that it would occupy.

This is exactly it. But, I too, cover it for the winter with a tarp and keep it outside. It will definitely take two or more people to fold, but it is flat, however takes up a large flat area to store folded. "Joseph, first push buttons on both center uprights, on both ends, to lower main table. After the table is down and level with the benches I flip it up on the end and push in on the brackets so the "U" shaped legs will fall in toward the table. The benches don't actually fold, the whole leg unit rotates inward and is held into place with the black plastic clip.Then the whole table will be flat. The benches will be on either side of the table. Hope that helps.Paul Webber answered on July 15, 2013" This is exactly it. But, I too, cover it for the winter with a tarp and keep it outside.

Once you get used to it, this is an easy fold. The handle has to be removed and the wheels have to be removed to fold it.

Yes it is as easy to fold as a lawn chair. Not a problem to fold or unfold!
