Buyer beware - this stand has serious safety issues. It is beautiful and fits our hammock chair perfectly but the edges of the bottom braces are not finished on top on two of the braces; they are razor sharp and will certainly cut open bare feet. Luckily my husband has plenty of tools and will file the sharp edges and repaint the 2 braces. Also speaking of tools - the ones supplied with the kit for the nuts are so big they only spin; you will need to supply your own wrench. The unit is easy to put together in about 10 minutes.
