I purchased this hammock as a birthday gift for my husband. The stand is very sturdy and is durable and has a great tan color. The hammock also has a vibrant color and seems larger than I expected. The only reason I gave this rating is because it was missing 1 out of the 4 eye hooks that kept the hammock from twisting. Had to buy it at the hardware store.  Otherwise, This hammock is a great find and an amazing purchase my husband will enjoy!
