I'm a bit miffed that we have to pay the $30 to ship this back (we had free super saver shipping initially) to Amazon. There are two big flaws with this product. First of all, the stand isn't stable, which means that if you don't sit on it in exactly the center spot, it will tip backward with you in it. Very dangerous for a family with kids. Second, you have to tie the hammock netting to the stand, which means that unless you can tie excellent knots, the hammock is going to sink to the ground as soon as you get into it. (We can tie excellent knots, btw, and that STILL happened time and again.) We've since researched other hammocks, and most seem to fasten the hammock to the stand with chain link, which makes a lot more sense than relying on knots. <br /> <br />We used the hammock for one day and the netting was already starting to space out and look too stretched. I don't think this product would last. This stand is also different than most others I've seen, and I suspect the design is flawed since it tips over so easily. We've placed an order for a different hammock elsewhere, and I hope that spending an extra $100 will mean a higher quality product that is also safer. Don’t waste your money!
