How hard is the take out and put down? Can you keep it in a bag and easily take it out and put it back for play time?

I bought this tent for my 5 & 6 year old granddaughters. My husband and daughter put it together in a matter of minutes. I have never taken it down. I did put a blanket under it since it is sitting on tile flooring. The girls seem to enjoy it, but homemade tents where more fun to them. I guess I would say it is strudy since the youngest is always bouncing in and out of the "doggy" door. The tent is the perfect height for them also.

Great Tent! Big and roomy, my 6 year loves it! It is not hard at all to put together but not something that just unfolds and pops up that can be easily stored like other pop up tents. But this one is the biggest and cutest.

It really only takes about 5 minutes to set up and take down after you've do r it a few times. It is super helpful that the poles are color-coded - 3 colors - for the base, the walls, and the roof.

The pipes are color coded, so it takes about five minutes to put up and about a minute or two to take down. My kids live it!

At first I was a little intimated when I opened the box and removed the parts.To my surprise it took me about ten mins. To put the entire tent together. The tent is hugh and my four year old grand daughter is having a wonderful time with her new tent. This is an excellent indoor toy that will keep her busy on many wonderful aventures.

Easy to take out and put down. Just keep the instruction sheet for assistance on putting together the frame if you can't remember.

I'm not really sure how easy it would be to store. It came wrapped/compressed in a cardboard box. I'd guess you could fold it & put it in some type of container.

Yes. It comes with a bag. You can fold it and put back in bag when not in use.

I do not know why people are having a hard time feeding the bag. I use mine constantly and have never had some big issue feeding the bags in. Line it up, slowly feed it in. I feel they may be trying to shove it in there with the bag not flattened out. I don't know. I love mine!!

I have left it in overnight, sometimes a day or two. It sorta squishes down & is a lot thinner than you want it to be. Also depends on what you eat, corn chips etc make it come out too...

I suggest the first time to have 2 people. Returning home, I set it up by myself in the yard, also female 5'7". Taking it down is a littile more problematic. Never really got it in the bag, but do have it compressioned strapped in the bag.

I had no problem! I hold the handles and shake, and it slides right out. Of course, the deeper it is into the bag, the harder you have to shake. I found it easier to gradually pull it out a bit as the bag gets fuller. It's also easier if you crush the leaves down every so often as you are filling the bag. I start out with it on its side, and as it gets full, place it upright to finish it off.

It is very easy to put together and take apart. I do not think it came with a bag but I am not sure. I gave it as a gift. I was told how easy it was to put together and take apart so I can answer that part of the question.

My 8yr old girl enjoys it. She can have her 4yr old brother in with her, but it is a perfect solo spot for her. Pain in the butt to fold back up. I cant wait for her to take it out in the summer time.

Yes, it is fairly quick to take this down, but much faster going up. Set up is just giving it a quick hard shake and it will pop open, insert the cross bars for the supports. Taking it down remove the support bars, line up the edges and give it a twist to get it back into it's circular shape to put it back in the storage bag. Make sure you stake it down well if you have strong winds though.

Once the zippers are open so the air can escape out, the easiest way I have found is to bring the two (2) fan bases together folding the 4 feet in and placing them in the bag first. Once that is done I collect what would be the top and sides first and roll those so the air can escape the bottom down by the fans. At this point the ball or material should fit in the carry bag.. You might have to push the fans to one side of the bag to make it fit. It took me 3-4 tries to get this down.... Make sure you unhook the screen and fold it separately. Keep it clean... HOPE THIS HELPS......

It is rather easy if you are mechanically inclined. It takes about 2-5 minutes to take down/reassemble. However, storing all the parts is not the easiest. It is not the best for quick trips to the store and keeping all the parts together can be a hassle.

It's very easy to store. It takes only no more than 5 minutes to do so. Mine came with a bag.

I put ours in, but I don't leave it too long otherwise it seems too hard. I usually put it in for about a half hour.

Yes. My 3 year old can put it on a take it down. Although, he rarely takes it down. :)

In supervised play you can remove one or two of the top pieces and the cat can bat at the ball easily. It is pretty hard for them to knock it out of the tray, though I wouldn't leave it this way when I went to work and have to search all day for the ball!

It's not the easiest to take up and down. The pieces snap in and would be hard to take apart. I would guess about 15-30 minutes build/take down time.
