I was looking for some outdoor fun for my grandkids. I thought this looked like fun but it has some issues. The first being it isn't made to last. The base is in pieces so there is a lot of stress on the joints where is comes together (my husband is a Stress Engineer). Another problem is the part the kids sit on isn't wide enough for the base it attaches to. And lastly, if you have more than 5 kids on it at once...it will bend and break! My oldest granddaughter is 10 and the youngest is 2. They were all on it rocking and it actually bent at the points where it bends. It broke and they all went falling. I was kind of amazed that knowing this will take some stress with the rocking, that metal would bend so easily. They had only been playing on it a day. I replaced it with an actual hammock. I really am disappointed in this item. I should have believed the other reviews that did not recommend this.
