This is my second hammock stand, which I bought so I could put a hammock in my living room with a gathered end nylon hammock.This hammock stand is shorter in height, and not as long as my other hammock stand, which is something I was looking for in a hammock stand for inside my living room.The hammock was packaged quite well, and all the parts were included(there were even 1 or 2 extra knobs included which was nice, better too many than too few!)The parts were clean(no stubborn manufacturing residues, nor odors), and very simple. Altogether there are 5 pieces(minus the knobs and hooks) which connect to form the stand. Once I had all of the pieces out of the box and laid out on the floor, it only took me 10-15minutes to assemble, and the assembly and instructions were very straightforward and easy.I like how it’s easy to move, it’s not super heavy but appears fairly sturdy for its size, weight, and price. It is not as heavy, nor does it seem as sturdy or durable as my other hammock stand(which was nearly double the price of this hammock stand) but time will tell how this one holds up.As I write this I have only had the stand for a week. Overall, I’m fairly pleased with the price, the quality, the ease of assembly, and the ease of use. The size works well for the living room as it is not as huge as the other stand I have. Based off of assembling it, I can imagine that disassembling it would be very quick and simple, as well.It fits my hammock pretty well.There was a bit of struggle when first screwing in a couple of the knobs, but once they started to thread they went in without much trouble.If there are ever any issues with the stands durability over time I will try to update this review to reflect that. For now, I’m enjoying having the hammock in my living room on a stand that’s not humongous.Based off of the reviews I did not keep the carry bag that was included as it did not appear to be of great quality when I received it and I probably won’t be traveling with the hammock stand. That’s ok, because to me the bag was an unnecessary bonus. Maybe if they made it a little larger to comfortably accommodate all the pieces and made it of a better material I may have kept it.
