If you are looking for an inexpensive, free-standing hammock - this is the right one for you. It is easy to put together, though I recommend a second pair of hands to put the hammock on the stand the first time. It stretches pretty quickly after the first use, so you can move it up and down to your comfort level no problem. The cover and pillow are a nice quality and very comfortable and easily removed for washing. It also came very quickly - 2 days earlier than expected.
