How does this collapse? do the feet fold down toward the center and make it easy to store in a violin case?

Yes, the feet fold in toward the center. It fits nicely into the violin case.

I have a kun collapsible violin shoulder rest. It works great. The feet fold toward the center and I can store it easily in my violin case.

I just measured mind. The bottom cradles are adjustable all the way up the top of the legs; the top piece can slide down into the leg base. Minimum distance might be 13". I bet it could hold a violin in its most collapsed configuration.

Answer to the question. Unfortunetly it does not fold for storage you need to take it apart.

Yes! The legs are fixed, so there are no joints to collapse. The only way they move is out and in. It makes the stand not as compact as it could be when folded, but very sturdy.

It does collapse, fairly easy. I keep it together because I find it to be more trouble than it's worth to break it down. It is not like a stroller, where u push a button and it folds. It's a bit more detailed.

It does collapse down for storage, but it takes a couple of minutes to dismantle. It lays fairly flat, since the side pieces curve slightly at the top and bottom. It also takes several minutes to reassemble, but when done correctly, it's very sturdy. The first time, I did it myself and it took about ten minutes. After that, it was quicker since I knew what I was doing. Just make sure all the pieces are facing the right way and then it's fairly easy.

Not exactly sure, because we are out of town (this away from the violin), but my daughter has a 3/4 size violin. It fits wonderfully, and has plenty of room to fit a full size snugly. The pocket on the top fits her bon musica, tuner, and rosin without out being difficult to zip shut. It is very light weight and definetly worth the price. However, the handle on it broke right away. We still think it was a worthy purchase though, given the price. The violin only leaves the house once a week though. Not sure how the case would hold up if you transport your instrument from place to place frequently.

Julie mine does not collapse easy! Matter of fact I have mine at work in my office to hold my "snacks, lunch ,etc.". It sets up right and I never have a problem with it folding or anything. Love mine!

It's not that rigid. It would likely flop over if put against an easel. It shouldn't fold down in a vertical line from how I've seen it, but horizontally has much more allowance for such folding.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fold up. However, it comes apart quite easily and is easy to reassemble, without tools, so we have broken it down and taken it on longer trips when we were planning to spend some time in one place. Overall, we've been very pleased with our with it.

It does not just fold. The legs lock into the bottom storage area. But it is the most amazing easel I have found!!!!

Yep! it folds up, and fit's nicely into it's own nylon case. It also holds my Bass Trombone Stand! It folds into a square, and then back onto itself around the legs. This is the coolest thing!!!

It does not collapse any more than just folding together. This makes it awkward to carry about.

The legs do collapse in. You can keep the two frames together with the clip joists(?) and fold the legs in. If you remove the clips, the frame folds down to the size of a large suitcase. I kept the original box that it came in so that when I move again, I can take it with me, so it's possible to restore it in the box.

Do you mean shoulder rest? You definitely don't need to remove the chin rest. I have a Wolf shoulder rest that folds up. It fits into the long storage space up at the neck of the violin. It doesn't fit in easily and sticks up a bit out of the space, but I can close the case with no problem and it doesn't do any harm to the shoulder rest. The only thing I wish this case had was some suitcase feet on the end so that when upright it isn't resting directly on the case.

It does not collapse for daily storage. Once the baby outgrows it you can take it apart in the same way you put it together, and it does not take up much space.

Yes, it will collapse completely flat. It increases the thickness of the iPad by it's own thickness, but it's very manageable. I sometimes use mine folded into the flat mode. This item also is a good thing to have wrapped around your iPad just in case you drop it.
