I've had this for a little over a month now and it's incredibly easy to fold and take off. The whole thing is also foldable, so storage is also very convenient. We usually only play one piece at a time, but it connects nicely and easily. It is also very nice that all holes are closed with Velcro so that the balls do not get enough sleep. My 2 year old plays with it very roughly and we play with it every day. The tent flexed a bit in a few days but fell into place. Definitely holds up a lot better than it looks. Edit: I wrote this review two and a half years ago and this thing is very solid. We still have it and it's still played with a lot. We've never had a problem with that :)
