fold/unfold about 5 times per day, would these stand the stress?

This is a steel hinge. The stress would be more related to the weight it is holding up rather than the number of cycles. No problem for 5 cycles per day.

I built a 3 ft x 6 ft work bench and used 2 of these to hold up up my table saw. I have cut 4x8 sheets of plywood and had no problems.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

They fold up easily, when I want to put them away, but I have not had one collapse on me by accident.

I think folding would be a no-go. You might try two in a single pillowcase (or T-shirt) that's snug enough to keep them atop one another.

if you can attach a link to what you are describing i can be exact. My first thought was that it depends on just how contoured they are. If only slightly then yes as the mesh has some play in it. If they are not even fold-able IE the ear part wont fold at all. Then, I'd probably say no. With a link or a photo I could be more definite.

Yes they do fold. As far as volume control, I dont believe so. The volume is controlled through my audio interface.

Yes, you can fold them down when not in use. Loosen the clamps, swing them down, retighten.

I'm pretty sure they don't (not at home to test it). They fold from the sides if I remember and there is a piece that allows them to stay open upright because the stiff bottom keeps the sides open. If you didn't have that to keep the sides open, they would collapse again. I can verify when I get home if you feel you want me to make sure but I'd argue no given what I remember about setting them up.

Sorry, I gave them away right after I purchased them... They were a gift. They do fold, but not in a extra compact way. They are nice, so you should keep the box to protect them.

I am using this device everyday so have not folded or put it away! Sorry I cannot help.

They are 2 1/2" and they are flexible if you force them to be, but too much force would break them. Does that make explain them to you? I don't know if you want flexible, but if you do, then these aren't for you. They won't fold if you load them with your face cream or whatever. The edge is thin. I use them as a sort of measuring tool for my expensive body creams. They can't load that much and reassures me that I'm not using too much.

We haven't needed these yet. The folding ones don't last but the rigid ones have so far. You might try Ebay...

I used these very effectively to create a fold-down eating space. With that much weight on them, it would be very difficult to get them to fold down. You would need to lift those 200# up before they would disconnect and then they would slam down. No, I wouldn't recommend it.

I am just a consumer, and have not tried this, but I would guess that it would fold ok (it's pretty soft); although, I don't know how keeping it stored that way for extended period of time would would impact the quality. I guess you could do a good shake-out when you pull it back out. good idea though!

They do fold pretty well and they don't wrinkle easily. I usually fold my in half when I'm done and they stay pretty straight.

You're welcome. I should have mentioned that they don't fold up unless you remove the lock screws.:)

Yes, they are kinda like a sturdy pizza box, just unfold at the seams and they be able to be re folded later. Might be hard to get them to lay flat when you unfold the, though.
