If you weight more than 240 lbs., do not buy this!!! |
| I have experienced the exact same thing as the March 31, 2002 post. After placing my double sized hammock on the stand at the highest notche, the support bars bent at where they angle up. And I only used the hammock stand for not even 2 hours. I think 6'2" (240 lbs.) is under the 500 lbs. maximum. Unless the manufacturer forgot to move the decimal place to the left one position (i.e., 50 lbs. maximum). |
Damaged stand never delivered |
| I ordered the hammack and stand together, great price for both items. I did receive the hammock but FedEx return the stand to the shipper because of damage. Amazon did send a second stand out so now I have both the hammack and stand that I ordered. The only problem is that Amazon now wants to bill me for the original stand I never received. Hopefully, we will get this resolved. However, it is NOT worth the hassle to order this product from Amazon. |
Good but not the best |
| I bought the set with the hammock plus this stand. I will say it was worth the $99 I spent but it does have negatives. The stand has no interlocking parts. This makes the stand hard to move when it is assembled as it does not lock together. This annoys me as the locking parts would have probably cost an extra $3 on the price. Cutting corners like this seems almost foolish to me as the locks would be worth it. Otherwise the stand seems strong and works well. The hammock I recieved had a tag made in India and by the looks of it labor was not the only thing they saved on. The rope looks kind of cheap and the hammock needs to be hung high or when your in it you will sit on the floor. I guess for free I am happy enough with the hammcok but it is cheaply made! |
