We received this as a gift for our baby shower and were very excited to use it at our inlaws' a few months later. We set it up at home as a "trial run" and found it very awkward to disassemble. We used the instructions but still managed to accidentally snap a very small plastic clasp off the bottom mechanism. It turned out that this tiny piece of plastic was all that was holding the bottom flat, so now our playpen will not lock open without jamming an umbrella or stick through the bottom. Complete waste of money. We have this brand-new, huge bag full of playpen and it is completely useless to us now. Very disappointed.
