I assume it would work since it is clips. The clips were a little hard to get in. I am not exactly sure.

Yes you can disassemble it. It's the reverse process for putting it together, and it's easy to do

Yes. You can repack. The critical thing is the screen. It is tricky to roll it back in the original packing (it always goes cross when you roll it) but, it is doable.

You are better off sending it off for someone else to do it. You have to buy a heat gun and special tools. They are very delicate so the slightest mistake will render the screen worthless.

Yes, it is one complete assembly. So, even if it looks like the "screen" isn't exactly broken, it is necessary to replace.

I LOVE it, but it is impossible to disassemble because it is glued (bonded). I would just wait and have it shipped to your new address.

No, you have to re-use the screws that hold your existing screen in place - that's why it is important to set up your area for screen replacement where they can't fall on the floor or disappear anywhere.

I haven't had to disassemble ours, so I can't say definitively. Almost all of the various bars and shelves are held into the connecting brackets by pressure. For things to fit securely many recommend using a rubber mallet to tap them into place. I'm sure with a little force they would slide apart. If you're frequently assembling and disassembling the unit though, these connection points may loosen over time. That wouldn't matter so much with the vertical pieces, as long as you're not planning on going a great deal of weight on the shelves. It would be more critical on the horizontal connections, but if you have a vehicle which would allow you to leave those sections connected, they would lay flat anyway.

The screen is so easy to assemble and disassemble, we usually bring it in to extend its life. Upon occasion, we have left it outside overnight, without damage. I hope this helps you. By the way, it sure beat old sheets and canvas drop cloths.

I haven't had to move mine, but I would probably have to say no. I've accepted the fact that I'll have to buy a new one it if I ever move. Thankfully, it's so affordable! I'm not 100% sure though, I'd ask the vendor.

I wrapped mine in a towel and checked it in my luggage during a deployment overseas. It handled loading, transport, and unloading with no issues. The screen is not glass, but it is definitely not fragile. I can post pictures if you need.

It appears from the easy set up that it would be easily broken down for relocation. I would suggest keeping the instructions after set up so you could use them when you are ready to relocate.

Not really. The screen is a thick metal and comes in pieces, if folded would ruin the screen.It is attached with nuts and bolts. If you remove the screen u are basically disassembling it. I would not recommend doing this.

I would say yes. If this is apparently the only damaged parts, yes. It's hard to tell about any other internal issues, but you will figure out. Once you remove the cracked screen and display do an inspection looking for any other issue before you assembly the device again.

It can be taken down. I think the bolts will come out fine. It will be time consuming, but definitely doable. Just make sure you don't lose any parts or you'll have to reorder from Lifetime directly. As long as you keep the manual, reassembly should go smoothly.

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-) I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up?

Yes and no. Contrary to what I originally thought before buying, all the pieces are joined together except at the ends.The panels link via little hooked attachments and it is not hard to bend the wire a bit so they come apart.So yes, you can remove them without much effort and virtually no damage, but not frequently or the wire will begin to fatigue as metal does.I faced a similar problem, because I wanted to have the option of an 11-panel, but only had the apace for a 9-panel setup in my room. All I did was fold two pieces together, with a hook keeping them together, so there is a little wall jutting into the playpen. Simple. Yes and no.

Each segment is screwed into the corresponding segment on the bottom and top bar. It is not impossible to take them apart and store as smaller segments and would require unscrewing these when assembling and disassembling. When we slide it off we keep it assembled since it is usually only for a portion of the day every so often and isn't convenient enough to take apart.

I wouldn't disassemble it every time, that takes too much time. I would just move it and lean it against a wall or behind a couch or something to keep it out of the way for future use.
