Is there a trick for making this collapse or did I get one with a defect?

The word "collapsible" is not found in the Amazon description. It is so small that there would be no reason to make it any smaller.

The reflector slides up and down, but I have not seen a way to "collapse" this light.

Push the little black button on the back of the light, and the reflector slides up and down. The little handle can be lifted to hang the lantern.

It doesn't collapse, just the plate on the back will slide up and down to block the light from behind if you push in that little black piece on the back at the top.

The Amazon description says "collapsible design folds down by half for packing", but the Coleman materials don't make any such claim. This would seem to be an error in the Amazon description. (Which is annoying, since that claim is one of the reasons that I bought it.)

Micro packer refers to its size. Not meant to collapse. It does not say anything in its description regarding "collapsing "?

I was surprised- I bought three and none collapse- the back comes up but that's about it.

It doesn't collapse, the back piece slides up and down as a light deflector when used as a flashlight .

The best thing to do is call the costumer service and they will ask you to unplug the machine and than turn on again so the part will collapse down. On our machine it happens so many times to the point we had to send to repair but we often need to re do the process over and over again. The repair did not help. I would call them and try their steps.

Pull up the black plastic pieces that the metal piece is attached to. I assumed u just lift up the metal piece to close it but its the actual black piece. Then it folds . hope that makes sense to u :)

I was stuck on how to disassemble the rack for a couple of minutes also. I don't have it in front of me right now to give you a better explanation, but I remember pushing in the parts that fold. I think I just gave it a little wack like it was the inside of an elbow. Sorry I couldn't be more specific. Ill try and add to this later when I go home this weekend.

I really think you got a defective one. That defeats the purpose of the flat iron if it can't close!

Not sure, but sounds like there may be a defect. I put my house together in about a minute and it has remained sturdy since. Maybe try to reassemble it? Make sure all the velcros are attached, I think there are a number of spots with velcro, not just one.

Hi, here is what I do: First, dislodge the foam panel and fold it back into the tub. Then, reach with both hands on the metal tubes: there are two small buttons that if you press them, it will start to collapse. It should then fold pretty easily. Sometimes this happens immediately; other times I have to fight with it a bit, but I've always gotten it closed so far. Good luck!

It can sometimes be tricky. Be sure to colapse all the legs before closing the stool. You need to depress a button on the leg to collapse it...once the legs are closed , it's hard to reach the button. It doesn't sound like a defective stool.

I have purchased two of these. One, I had no problems with, the other, just as you described. It does not go back together and stay that way. When I went to return, it had passed the return date.

Hello. Just raise the top until you hear a click, them you just fold the bottom into the top part. It was really easy once I figured it out.

If your tunnel collapses there is some kind of defect. Our tunnel, which we have had for a couple of years, is very stable no matter what is going on. It would be very difficult to even collapse it on purpose if we were trying to put it away.

I don't think there is a trick but if you used it for awhile then tried to unscrew it could be calcified shut. May need some tools.

It happens to me all the time. You just click it back in place the way you want it (folded in, standing or flat out). It takes a little getting used to the way it folds and unfolds.

Sounds like a manufacturing error, the one I got is quite solid and stable. One solution to that might be to insert a sleeve to tighten up the loose space or if you just purchased it see if you can get it replaced.You might have to improvise and create one from plastic or something similar. Teflon would be great.

There is a trick to getting it to fold down. The bars need to be in a certain position and if they don't fall that way then it will not collapse and fold. I'm folding challenged with this crate.

The holes on the base can be a bit out of alignment like happened to me. Turn the base bottom side up and do a little twisting of the heavy weight to make it work. Hope this helps.

undo the latches on the sides and push in the corners. it should start to collapse in on itself.
