For starters, this thing is much bigger than I expected. I bought it for something we can sit in next to our oil drip stove on dark winter nights. And then of course we'll drag it outside and sit in on the porch in the summer. However, it is very tall (about as tall as my hand reaches if I hold my hand straight up above my head). Apart from the surprising size, we all love it. It's comfortable and swings (mostly) freely except the metal bar that holds the hammock chair open does hit the frame if you try to spin 360 degrees.The frame was pretty time consuming to set up, but it's very sturdy. It looks sharp and works great for our needs. There's always someone sitting in it reading a book or checking their phone while soaking up the heat from our stove. Can't wait to laze around in the breeze come spring!
