So, ours is about 4 years old at this point. I had pre-teens to high school age when I ordered it and it has stood up to the typical teen shenanigans in both Texas heat & east coast Virginia seasonal fluxes. The blue of the pipes is fading and the orange hammock isn't as vibrant as it once was. Still holding up though. I can't speak to the bent frames of the other reviews because ours has held up well and we're not tiny people by any means. I do wish that the hammock was a replaceable item when it does wear out as all things do. I also wish it was a tad wider for stability. I'll probably hit the frame with a coat of spray paint this year to prevent rust from forming. I'd recommend because it's been a good, long-lasting purchase for us.
