2 questions-how far can you break the cage down once it's been assembled? Also-how hard is it to put together? The hubby and I are neither very handy.

I would advise not to break it down again once assembled because you can risk bending or breaking the wiring..It's not hard to put together it comes in panel all you have to do is line them up and screw them in..The top part of the cage comes off from the stand for easy cleaning or you can just roll the whole cage outside and clean with a water hose..I don't know what type of animal you are buying this for , but my Sugar Gliders love this cage..

Pretty sure once its together that's it. You can take cage off the stand. Didn't have much problem putting it together, but I'm handy. Ended up with extra parts. lol. Instructions are bad. Had to look @ pictures & wing it. The Only good thing I can say about cage is it's sturdy. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I am using this for my chinchillas and it seems to work great! As far as breaking it down, once it is together you can only take the cage itself off of the legs. I thought it was pretty easy to put together.

Well, the shipping box that held the cage itself was approx . 48 inches x (approx.) 8 inches . And that box was shrinkwrapped to a wooden pallet when it was Delivered to my front lawn. The Assembly was Amazingly Easy.. about 15 minutes. And what is cool about this cage besides opening up at the front through the sliding glass windows is the fact that it can be taken apart as easy as it was put together if one needed to move or something..but youcant tell that it takes down so easy ,..In other words, it does not look cheap or even appear that it has such a neat feature. The entire cage is well constructed, and I am more than happy with my purchase.. if you have any other questions , please do ask. I have a few pictures of it disassembled that I have been meaning to post on here, but I havent Gotton around to it just yet. .. its on my list... Lol

My husband and I didn't have any troubles putting it together and got it done within an hour. But maybe that's because he is a mechanic and loves putting things together! So I guess I'm not sure how to answer your question...I'm sure it is different for everyone. Maybe your son-in-law can get an extra hand in helping him assemble it? I do recommend this item over all the other ones I have researched (for the price)

Its not hard to assemble, you need two adults though. I have it sitting in about 4 inches of pea gravel and it does okay, i would recommend definitely staking it or setting it in cement.

I would say it is fairly easy. My husband is not a handyman and he and I put 2 sets together in 3 hours. It may be quicker for you! You need a drill. you can assemble alone, but much easier if you have 2 people.

I have taken mine apart a lot during the set up process. I misplaced the directions and put it together and took it apart around 3 times until I got it right. It takes a bit of strength to pull the pieces back apart but other than that its awesome!

It comes in two boxes the are fairly flat but weigh over 40 lbs. I think that once it is assembled, it would be hard to take apart. You could ship it before you put it together(it only took 1-2 hours to assemble) but I don't know how you would get it back.

It's not easy to put together. The instructions say to use three people. My husband and I were able to manage though. Taking it apart for storage wouldn't be realistic. It's a lot of fun though and I'm glad we got it.

It takes about an hour to put it together. It does require 2 people in my opinion. It wasn't that hard to do, I would be careful with the top of the table, I put it together on carpet to make sure I didn't damage the top.

It is pretty easy to assemble but taking it down and re-assembling would be a pain. Putting it together was no problem even for a non-mechanical person like me. It is not very portable unless you had a truck or large van with storage capability. I would not consider it to be a portable item.

I wouldn't say it was difficult to assemble at all. The instructions were clear and parts were individually labeled. However, there are a lot of parts.... so it is definitely time consuming. Unpacking and assembly took approximately 2 - 3 hours. It's fairly heavy, so having a second person would be helpful at times.

I imagine it would be easy to take apart. It half fell apart as we put it together. My dad and I had to buy better hardware for it to stay together. I honestly would not buy again.

There are about 15 pieces, and once you are familiar with what goes where, it would probably take about 15 min. to put together, less to take apart. It's pretty light-weight, so carrying it is easy. I had some problems with it leaning -- probably because I put too many items on it. It's not very expensive, so it might be worth a try.

It does not come assembled. There is no bottom to the actual metal cage...just the sides are the metal cage material. The bottom is a reinforced cloth coated with something to make it water resistant. It attaches to the metal cage with Velcro tabs.

It took about a halh an hour. i did it myself but if you can get an extra hand would help. Well built with no problems to put together.

you must assemble it but it is not hard. I did it myself and usually I leave those types of things to the hubby.

Not very difficult. My wife and I did it in about 1 hour. Just be careful that all the screw holes are correct and inline. We did a little surgery on one and that added to the time of assembly. Apart from that. No sweat..
