Yikes! The quality of this item is SUPER low. We got ours in the mail yesterday and my 11 year old daughter an I (I'm the mom! LOL!) put it together within 20 minutes! That part was a breeze! My kids played on it for a while, but it didn't really rock very well, and it was difficult to find a balance. We quickly set it up for one person and told our kids to just use it one at a time to relax. A couple of hours later my husband and one of our smallest kids sat in it together (no rocking, just existing in the hammock!), and within minutes the frame bent. Their combined weight is around 260, so less than the advertised 300lb weight limit. We called customer service, and I think they're going to take care of us satisfactorily, but I still wanted to leave the review! The metal frame of this is pretty flimsy, and I would suggest they change the weight limit to 150lbs or less.
