Review on 2-Person 9Ft Heavy Duty Steel Hammock Stand W/ Portable Carrying Bag - Perfect For Indoor & Outdoor Use! by Jon Cherian

I like this but it's not for me. Thank goodness for Best Buy Prime so I had the confidence to order this. I really need it but I've had to return it & I feel like I should report why in case my experience helps others. First, it's as described. Well made. Hammock fabric is soft. It is made of a an "earthy" cotton & the slings are made of macrame so it definitely has a hand made vibe. The frame went together easily & in about 10 mins. The instructions are brief but it's a simple concept. I followed the guidelines for hook placement and the hooks ended up being positioned exactly as shown in the photograph. Before I got in the hammock for the 1st time, I put a couple of thick couch cushions under it just in case. I got in eaSily enough &lay down with had no balance or stability challenges. However, I could not get out & I'm strong & do yoga. I'm about 5'6" & normal weight. I think the way they show the model sitting in it would be about the only way for me to use it without assistance. Hats off again to Best Buy's clear photos!
