I thought this was a pretty good thing, so purchased one - easy assembly except instructions lack clarity. I ended up w/2 support rods left over 'cause I did not read that part of the assembly until the end - I could not install them w/o disassembly of the unit and just did not want to do that - seems to work Ok w/o them. I especially like the hamock material - its near see thru and as such it is 'breathable' - so much more confortable on a hot day. I enjoy it and would recommend it
