Really fun in the backyard near the pool! Frame seems sturdy. Holds me and my 6'4" husband. 4-5 younger children fit in comfortably. Took a little time to put together but not more than expected. It has held up through 2 Arizona monsoon storms so far (we have lost several umbrellas and a large 20'×40' canopy to storms here). Doesn't really swing a huge amount due to the fact it is only hung 1.5-2' off the ground per safety recommendations.
