Assembled easily, looks exactly like the picture, our 10.5 foot hamock fits perfectly, and it is very comfortable to use. it is a nice size, without being so big that it overwhelms our patio. however, it has little metal buttons that snap into holes to hold the thing together. after being outside for a little over a month, the little metal buttons are already starting to rust. however, for the price i paid, i can't complain.
