Thirty seconds is the claim for setup and folding, and it holds because the frame is a retractable spring rather than poles that thread through sleeves - nothing to assemble, nothing to lose. Folded it drops to 3.5 in thick from a 36 x 25 x 25 in standing size. Three doors mean it can be opened from whichever side faces the room, and mesh windows keep airflow moving in a car. A fleece bed of 34.5 x 23.5 in is included. Weight is 10.5 lbs with a 70 lb capacity, in oxford cloth, mesh and rabbit fur lining.
