Are the sides solid, or do they "collapse" down. We've bought other boxes, but when we put the lid on, the sides fold down like an accordion..

The sides are solid. The top portion can nestle into the bottom if the lid from the bottom portion is removed. I've been very pleased with mine.

The whole set is totally solid! It's easy to clean and won't leak with the lid on. You do however always have to use the elastic strap. The strap for tightly using only on box or both. �

Yes, indeed, the baskets do collapse for easy storage. We've never tried storing ours though.

It does fold and unfold easily, however the lid does not fold. Not sure if it will hold up to many setups/takedowns. We have small children playing on and around, and it hasn't held up too well.

I think the back is partially closed cant remember since I put my grill away for winter. The side tables do fold down

The sides do not go down, they are permanent. There are 2 shelves, one is an ironing board which my daughter uses more than any other part of the set. The holes for the side shelves are pre-drilled but aside from that, I think you can leave them off without it really affecting the whole set.

Yes. However, if the box happens to catch a lot of wind, then the lid will come open. The box is very heavy and the lid is not flimsy, but we have gotten some heavy winds that have kicked it open a few times. We have since moved it completely under our covered porch and against a wall. No problems since we did that.

It stands up right. There is a removable cardboard to keep the base so it stands up but if you wanted to take it out ti will fold down and collapse. The sides will easily fold in which makes it easier to move around that it doesn't stay box shape.

The boxes arrive flat. You have to tape them to use them but that's all. These are not the kind of boxes you just have to fold properly to use.

you can collapse it if there is nothing in it, by pushing the separator flaps down. i bought one of these for me, one for my son and one for my son-in-law, unsure if any of us would bother using them. after a year, we all still use them all the time.

It does not fold like a soft sided crate, or even like the metal mesh crates. It comes apart in separate pieces (4 sides, top, bottom, 4 corner posts) and those can be laid on each other to store flat as T. Kiethley wrote.

Hi, The sides 'unfold" with hinges. You can pull out both sides, one side, or no sides. I just love mine because I have limited room in my home it is folds up for easy storage. It is nice little piece fro the price.

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 doesn't collapse on its own, which I like. You are able to close and secure one side, or the whole thing. I use it when I do my shopping so I can just move the whole thing over and bring everything inside so much easier.

No, the two sides do not come completely apart. I think there might be a slight chance to spill items if not opened carefully. You would need to make sure the box is laying on one side so that side does not spill when opening the other side.

Yes the sides easily fold down. The sides are easily removable for transporting. The sides are held on by 2 cotter pins per side. I transport the wagon in the back of my SUV, upside down, with the sides removed. People have asked how, but it is easy. I bring it to parades, it transports well and always makes it thru the parades no problem. Oh, I purchased a wing nut on my own for the handle, so that it can come off for transporting. I am very happy with the wagon.

yes, unfold the sides, and then the shelves drop down. this is actually a very good product. sometimes the shelves can slip if bookshelf is jarred, but I have hadthese for years and I find them sturdy. I buy the cherry which is very pretty.

Honestly (and I apologize, I know this isn't going to be much help...) it's usually an experiment to figure it out. We lay it on its side (one door and about four panels touching the ground) and collapse the sides until we find one that naturally collapses. From there, it's kind of like folding a map--we'll fold a side in, and if it doesn't feel like it's collapsing naturally, we'll unfold and try another side. I know this sounds tedious, and I think it took us about 5 - 10 minutes the first time, but after you get it once or twice it just gets easier to fold. We can usually get it into the bag in about a minute. Good Luck---Happy Holidays! Honestly (and I apologize, I know this isn't going to be much help...) it's usually an experiment to figure it out.
