I use this thing inside my college apartment and it's AWESOME. I live in a pretty cold climate so hammocking indoors has always been a dream of mine. This thing is not too hard to put together and the directions were easy enough to follow for someone as impatient as I was to get it together. I did however need my neighbors to help, so try to have a few strong guys nearby because it's a bit tall. But again, I live in a cheap, non-extravagent apartment and this fits in my bedroom fine and allows for a great nook for me to read in it!
