It was easy to set up, and easy to take apart and move outside, or  pack it up to take with you camping, etc. A nice bag is included to carry it in. The hammock is very pretty with vibrant colors, and the material is a good quality. It is  very comfortable  and roomy.  When not using it outside, It fits perfectly in front of the upstairs window for star gazing at night. My granddaughter asked for the hammock to use when she visits. As you can see in the photo, the cat has tried to claim it for herself.
