This hammock is impressively sturdy. The frame was a little heavier than I expected, but is a manageable weight to carry a short distance. It’s fairly easy to both set up and take down. I like that the frame is of adjustable width and height because my balcony is very narrow and I had been having a hard time finding a hammock stand that would fit. It fits easily into the carry bag. I’m definitely pleased with my purchase. It seems like it will have a long life, nothing about the frame is flimsy. So if you’re looking for a safe, sturdy folding hammock stand this will be a great purchase.
