About 1/3 the size of a canopy (10x10), a little larger than those fold up chairs

You will not have a problem with storage..battery will run out before space is used up.

It is pretty big...if you get it don't open til you get there...if it is has to fit in a suute case I doubt that you will bring it home...

I think it "was" around 5ft square. I threw it away. It was impossible to figure out how to fold back up even with all the YouTube videos and challenges to family and friends. Finally ripped from all the handling. I think if you can keep it open all the time you will be fine.

I've had mine for 6 or 8 months. I measure the outside dimensions to be 22w x 15.5d x 3.5h. That's with the drawer closed of course... Nice quality product.

Not by much..it'll collapse to maybe 5 feet and that's it. It can store behind a couch when company comes over.

It is about 4.5 inches long when closed, 1.25 inches wide and 1 inch thick. My son really loves his, he is 3 and a half years old.

About 2.5 feet long and 10 inch by i0 inch. After you open it though it will never fit back into that size.

It's not huge, but it's not small either. I would say it's a little bigger than a medium storage tote. Hope that helps...

Six to eight inches approx. I already stored it away or I would give exact dimensions.

I'd like to know as well - it is unclear whether the dimensions given are when the container is expanded or compacted...any owners that can help?

I have not measured, but that sounds right, it's very large when open. I love mine.

It's about 12" wide, or 12" "tall" when closed and standing up on end like a book.

Its a few inches in diameter, around three by the looks of it. I havent measured it. But its tall, so I don't suppose it will serve well for storage unless you are talking about long spatulas etc.

Outside: 14.25" X 11.25" X 6.125" Inside: 11.25" X 7" X 3.375" It's a little cramped in the inside, but I use it to store hard disk backups, so it does the job.

Depends on what youre trying to store. Typically, for normal/average use, then it should be fine for quite some time. A full computer backup, without any files, is about 13GB of space. I purchased the 2TB...the bigger the better. But, I store a lot of movies, TV shows, and music.
