Big and bulky if you need to break it down, heavy. Protect form rust.

To be fair, I've only had the hammock one day. I'm not sure just yet if it will be a hammock that I use for years to come, but it's definitely one I'll be using over the next 4 or 5 months while the weather is nice enough. I live in GA, so the weather tends to be pretty warm through much of the winter. I received it in one box and needed literally no instructions, though they were included. Set up was extremely simple and I had it together in less than ten minutes. It's comfortable and seems fairly sturdy, although I'm skeptical of the 450lb weight limit. However, I'm a slim guy and weigh about 175, so it's not enough of a concern to worry about.Be forewarned however, that there is NO separate padding. The hammock bed is woven together to form the bed itself. I'm only mentioning this (and taking off one star) because this is certain to run into a problem should I leave it in the elements. If it gets wet, it will most likely mildew, so I'm taking it in and out each time I use it. This is however, a simple fix. It's a matter of unhooking one side and rolling up the bed. The frame itself does feel sturdy enough, however, it creaks when I get in it, and I can't be completely certain it won't bend over time. Only time will tell.It's a very large frame, which I knew from the beginning. For those of you considering it for an apartment patio, be aware of this. It's pretty wide (about 5 feet across with the wooden spreader bars on the bed of the hammock) and the frame itself is right at 12 feet. It will take up your entire patio.Overall, as long as it holds up, I'll be happy. I did lay in it the first day and it's extremely comfortable, big enough for two people, although I haven't had anyone in it with me yet. I'll update this later if there are issues and if it's still a positive review if I get another person in it with me and it continues to hold up. So far, happy with the purchase, especially for $80.

Luv everything about this except on one end (by feet) the paint wore off so quickly. We’d barely used it when I started noticing. Up by the pillow it’s in perfect condition. Down by the other end it’s peeling away. I don’t know why. As far as comfort and assembly goes, no complaints at all. Very happy we have this.

Bought this for my sister, the Hammock is really well made.Only issue was the frame is good but doesn't handle the weather well. After having it for about 6 months the frame started to bend, rust, and come apart from time to time. It got to the point that my sister got rid of the frame. If those issues were fixed it would be great.

After having the hammock just a day or two, I can only speak to its apparent quality "right out of the box" but it seems to be as advertised. I will say that I needed to drop one star in its rating, for a lot of extremely SHARP edges on the steel tubing, and it may have been nice if somewhere on the labels were a message like "CAUTION-- JAGGED EDGES!! Wear work gloves while assembling this product!!" or something to that effect. Though it's simple enough to put together, I still came away with two or three gashes, and one nasty metal splinter in my fingers and hands while handling it. Apart from that though, the canvas is heavy enough to work well, and has a comfortable feel to it, and the pillow is a nice touch. I presumed that it is reversible, though no indication in the very basic directions about that.

For the price I paid, I wasn't expecting an incredibly sturdy stand or lifetime hammock. Both are light weight and the frame does not fit together tightly, but it does hold in place. Both have been left outside since set up a month ago, through rain and wind, and look the same as they did upon arrival. I did not find the hammock to be slick (as was described in other reviews) or harder to get in or out of than any other hammock. There is enough room for another person (or dog) and the hammock and frame have consistently held about 350 lbs without issue.

Is larger than I wanted, hard to get into and out of, takes up a lot of space on my deck.

Pros: Affordable, lasts at least 3 years outside on a covered deck, comes in cool colors. Comes with a metal support structure which is great if you don't have a couple of trees to tie a hammock to.Cons: Fabric material is slick compared to others I've had, even from this same brand. As a result, you can easily slide/fall onto the ground when getting into or out of these when wearing athletic shorts or anything else that's not actively "rough". Cotton rope gradually becomes stretched out over time.Overall, I would recommend this as a good option for those getting their first hammock, those who don't have trees, or those who can't afford the $180+ rate these days for a premium quality hammock.

The hammock was a pretty color and the stand a great size. The only complaints I have is that the material the hammock is made of feels a bit slippery and is not a canvas that makes you feel more secure. The stand is light weight, but will definitely hold your weight. However if you live where you have frequent strong wind I suggest you take it down if you aren’t always around to check on it.
