It folds up into a shape not much wider than a 2 X 4 board maybe 4 feet long with a handle for carrying, but it is heavy because it's metal. I have the legs fully extended and this particular one comes in yellow but the other day I saw them at Lowe's Hardware Store in orange.

I have some lawn mower wheels from a previous lawnmower that met an untimely demise. Problem is if I want to attach these almost new wheels the legs are too wide for the back exit from the garage into the backyard. My stand is starting to look like a child's rocking horse, I have the wheels laying against each leg, the back wheels are larger with bearings too, they are funny to see but it's nice to imagine them attached so it can be rolled around.
