When you go to sit on one side of this thing to get on it the other side flies up in the air and dumps you on the ground on your...buttocks! If you land on the metal tubing that runs the length of the hammock on the ground that really hurts and is dangerous to your health. (coccyx) The hook screws that go through the 2 holes at the top of the tubing on each end are only threaded half way up the screw so you can't tighten the nut against the tubing, thus the screw moves up and down through the holes and spins in circles in the holes! When it's windy the screws (bolts) turn sideways and the chain link falls right off of it and the hammock falls on the ground. Every morning it was down on the ground and 20 times a day after that. This product should be sold as a sail rather than as a hammock! I tied the back corners of the hammock (to wood crossbars) and to the cross legs on the ground with rope to see if that keeps the backside from flying straight up in the air but I haven't had the courage to try it yet, plus it's been raining a lot. Stop the pain!

I probably was able to use it 12x over the course of a season in 2022. Rolled it up and kept it inside when not in use (including all winter). First use of 2023 - ropes started fraying and broke. Worse yet, the stand only has 12'7" span, so despite being sturdy, lightweight, and easy to assemble, you have to buy this brand of hammock again if you want a double hammock since almost all higher quality (more expensive) double hammocks need 15' spans. So, I guess I got what I paid for: an inexpensive hammock that easily supported 340# of me and GF..... for a total of about 30hrs total use. Ordered a nicer hammock today at twice the price to replace this cheap trash.

I've used this less than 10 times, I'm a 5'7 190 lb. male, I stored this in my garage when not in use. Also used the frame that came with it. I think it is a waste of money.
