Thinking about one for my grandchild (4 1/2). If we put it together, how hard would it be for them to transport it home that night?

Um, it's light to carry with 2 people, but it's very large in size with lots of little peices. I don't know what size vehicle they have but if it's smaller than a mini van or SUV it would be a challenge....if you decide to do it I would just put the basic form together and let them do the intricate things at home. Hope that helps

It depends on what kind of a car they have and how many other children are riding in the car. :) If they have a minivan or SUV, it's not a problem. If they have a compact car, it might be a problem. The house will take up half the back seat, assembled. The house can be broken down for travel, but it takes some work to do that.

If they have an SUV or a van it would probably be OK, but I don't think it would fit very well in a car. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to put it together! It took me and my Father about 1 1/2 hours to put the whole thing together. Remember, patience, patience, patience is the key! Good luck!

It is very large- awesome- but large. You will need at least an SUV to transport.

We got one for my 4 year old for we birthday and it is as tall as her. You would need a minivan or SUV to transport it. There are ALOT of pieces to put together. Plan on a couple hours worth!

Not terribly hard. Takes some time. Expect to spend between 45-75 minutes, depending on your skill level. You have to build the drawers. Not hard either. It's heavy too. Takes 2 people to move. Overall take your time to avoid mistakes.

It's not easy to put together. The instructions say to use three people. My husband and I were able to manage though. Taking it apart for storage wouldn't be realistic. It's a lot of fun though and I'm glad we got it.

That would be a lot of trouble. It takes a while to put it together. And it isn't really meant to be taken apart once you get it put together.

I concur with everyone else. I would not want my boys moving it by themselves (heavy and unwieldy), and I do not really think the unit itself is built to be moved every day. While I can move it around by myself with the base filled with sand, I probably should be - and I'm 6' 1" and 215lbs! It generally stays put in our driveway, and will be moved 1) to put it around the side of the house in the dead of winter, or 2) occasionally into the street (we live on a dead end) if we have company, etc.

Easy, no. But not impossible, either. It really depends on the strength of those moving it. I would recommend building it on the same floor as it will be use, though. It weighs in around 70 lbs.

I didn't assemble it. The person I bought it for assembled it. He didn't seem to think it was that hard. He was sitting in it shortly after he got it, so it must've been somewhat easy.

Well! I bought this for one of my grandsons but he still hasnt put it together yet. Good luck!

probably at least 30 to 40 lbs. you need someone to move it with you. it is very sturdy.

It can be easily assembled by anyone with average intelligence and skills (using wrenches). As for moving it, there are small wheels but it is heavy and awkward. Best to place it and leave it. A good idea is to put it near a TV and watch while using it to make the time go faster.

I'm a 65 yr old grandmother and I did it all by myself in about 3 hours. If I'd had someone to help me hold some of the pieces in position, it probably would have taken half as long. I w!uld say this is pretty easy to put together. It's super sturdy and my grandson is crazy about it!

It took my husband a little over an hour to put it together. It is a very sturdy bed, my grandson loves it.

Yes, it will work, but very difficult to put together......Had to ge t a neighbor and it still took 2 hrs.The grands LOVE it so much. That makes it worth it.

It's not too bad. It's not really too heavy. However you will need a box for all the stuff inside it. I tried moving it with all the little pieces inside of it and failed miserably. Lol however, if you had a box for all that stuff it wouldn't be hard at all.

I took my husband 2 hours to put together. It looks nice, not super study but works fine of our 4 year old but we are opening and closing it most of the time.

I haven't disassembled it, but I would think it would be as easy as assembling. I wouldn't personally recommend for what you are describing as I think it would be too much to deal with and not real practical to haul along. Not a light load and lots of parts to screw together.

Oh K. Graig, I forgot to mention that the entire unit comes in one box and weights more than I thought it would. Using a dolly to get it upstairs damn-near killed me. Assembly took just over two hours by myself, and was not quite as bad as I thought it would be -I'm not much on putting stuff together, so it may not be a hard task for you.
