We got this as a 2nd hammock stand to pair with one we've had for 6 years.  It is seriously deficient in craftsmanship.  The welded spots are crooked and the bar sizing is poorly machined.  I had to put it together with a rubber mallet and everything is misaligned.  Not all of the screw entry points are sized correctly either.  It is crooked when assembled.  It's very obvious when you compare this to our old hammock one was made with care and this one wasn't.  You get what you pay for.  It does work...it's just poorly made...pick a different option.
