I was able to put the hammock together by myself so it is pretty easy to set up.  This hammock is gorgeous.  The wood is beautiful and makes this hammock strong. 
I’m 5’10 and there is room to spare
 length-wise.  This hammock is also great to sit in width-wise too.  The best part about this hammock is that the fabric can be hooked on or off within 3 seconds so taking it in out of the weather when not in use is easy.
