This was a lot easier than I had anticipated !! I have a pretty powerful floor fan, and I just opened each opening, one at a time, put in front of my fan, it blew air into it very quick, then just followed the directions and rolled the ends and snapped it together with the hook that is attached ! And I had a full body length lounger !! I also experimented and placed less air in it and rolled it a lot more, and it made a very comfy chair !! When done, you just open the ends back up and roll the air out, and it fits nicely in the portable carrying bag it comes with !! This lounger has a nice fabric on the top so you don't slide all around, and has a side pocket to hold a book, magazine, phone etc... I am very happy with my new lounger !!
