After putting it together and put the hammock on it, it was lights out lol , I think to have the hammock on this frame makes easy to move around if choose to move it plus you don’t have the issues of which tree to put it on.Often have to keep tighten screws to stop the squeaking. A bit clumsy to move about, but seems sturdy. Still testing it out. 2 weeks now.Bought two of these and have been enjoying them. Easy to setup and move. One came without hardware, but customer support sent out the missing hardware quickly with no hassle.The pieces were not entirely painted and the entire stand, once put together, is wobbly.I sleep in a hammock year round so this is great for when I travel. (My back doesn't like beds anymore.) Gave it a weeklong test recently in Florida and I'm very pleased. Assembles quickly and takes apart in just a couple of minutes. I tried a couple of different size hammocks and I could make them all work. Putting it back in the carrying case however is an art form I still have to master. I can make it work but it takes a couple of tries. I weigh 230 and it's definitely sturdy enough for my weight and more. Definitely recommend.This hammock stand is simple and straight forward. My 10-year-old has put it together and taken it apart multiple times. It's slightly complicated to put back in the bag but it can be done if you need to travel with it often. We love the adjustments to the size - we received a woven hammock from friends in Brazil that was too long for many hammock stands but this one was just right on it's longest setting!I love that the stand comes with a carrying case so I can bring it with me where ever I may end up going. It is relatively easy to put together but there is a fair amount of pieces (5 pieces). It took me about 10 minutes the first time to put it together. Stand is large and takes up a lot of space, but great for a large backyard. With practice, putting it together probably goes a little faster. It seems very durable and will last me a long time. My hammock was slightly too long for the height of the stand, but not a problem for me! I love my hammock stand!Sturdy, easy to assemble and take apart, comes with a nice travel/storage bag. Fits my standard size 10-ft hammock perfectly. It has other notches and can accommodate hammocks of various sizes. My husband hasn’t tried it out yet and he is a big guy. But me and the kids have and it is sturdy and visually well made. I’m glad I went with this product.I was very disappointed with this purchase as the hammock I received had bigger measurements than the ones detailed in the product description (i.e the base was 7 inches bigger). So this model didn't fit on my balcony.I wrote a complaint to the supplier, and they issued a refund of the whole prize within 24hrs without needing to return the item back as a courtesy gesture.I am not sure if I received the wrong size or if the measurements detailed are incorrect, so my recommendation is to add a fewer inches more to the space where you want to install your hammock, to avoid the same issue than me.Works well as adverisedAs advertisedamazinglooks like what I wanted
