This is a great hammock stand for the price. There are plenty of better stands out there, but not in the same price bracket.Three downsides come to mind: it’s heavy, it’s bulky when packed, and the assembly is made harder than it needs to be by one very poor design decision. That one is simple: the bolts that hold it together are all oriented to point toward the ground. That means you basically need to turn the stand upside down to assemble it, and that is very cumbersome. I see no mechanical reason why all of the bolts couldn’t have been exactly across from where they are to make the stand much easier to assemble.The stand is perfectly sized to support my ENO Doublenest hammock. Once the stand is assembled, which takes about five minutes, it takes mere seconds to attach the hammock and if the weather is good I’m good to go right then. Cold weather hammocking requires more prep, but that’s not the Stand’s fault. The stand also has no provision for adding a rain fly or bug net, but again, this is an Amazonbasics product, we aren’t expecting sophisticated features for the price.My other “could possibly have been done differently” design complaint is about how bulky it is when stored. The two horizontal supports, legs you could say, are curved and have angle brackets attached that curve the opposite direction at right angles. The other three pieces of the stand are straight tubing, but these two pieces are bent in such a way that they take up a ton of space in the bag, and there’s really no way to economize space in the bag. You’ve always just got these four points of metal just kind of jutting out the sides. Again, minor complaint. None of my complaints matter at all if you’re planning to leave this permanently set up, they only matter if you are using it for camping and frequently moving it. And in spite of those complaints, it’s still great for the price, just maybe not as good as some $200 folding stands.
