You do not even have to take it apart, and you could just push it to one side of the room.

Cons

A review said that the drum set is too compact to feel like you are playing on real drums. He said that the instrument was more ideal for beginners and kids rather than for professional drum players.

According to one user the stand looks a little frail to support the drums on top and looks like it could easily fall or tip over if you make a wrong move.
