Took this little "mature lady" much longer than 3 minutes to set up.  The horizontal rods were a little too long to easily slip into the holes designed to hold them and required much arm strength to insert as described.  Although it does break down , if and when I did to transport, I would cut the rods a little so that they  would insert and pull out more easily. Perfect for someone with a "honey do", not so much for a single female.
