Hi Ruth,
It takes between 5 to 15 minutes to mount on the tree, depending on several
factors:
(a) Is this a simple straight tree (faster), or very skewed tree (longer)?
(b) Is the trunk's diameter normal (faster), or very thin or wide (longer)?
(b) Is the bark smooth (faster), or irregular (longer)?
(c) Is this the first time you use this particular tree (longer), or a
second time (faster)?
Disassembling is much easier. It takes between 1 and 5 minutes to
disassemble it, and pack into a bag.
Check out the IndieGoGo page -- I've made updates. The table now has a
keyboard shelf, so it becomes a fully ergonomic standing desk.

Thanks,
