I was surprised how easy it is to set up. It came in a small package about 18 inches square and I thought great it will fit under my van floor for traveling. I am disappointed that it is huge circle after I tried to close it down, it’s almost 4 feet wide, I was wondering why the storage bag was huge, I thought maybe they sent the wrong one. It takes up a lot of room and doesn’t fit in my storage area as I planned. I do like having the extra outdoor space it provided.
