Literally, we hung it in the bed room. Now wveryone congrigates in our room, lol. Its comfy, easy to put together, easy to hang. I went to home depot and bout 2 feet of chain and a set of 150 lb swing hangers (300lbs) it fits perfect withe the theme in the bedroom, laid back bohemian green and brown colors. It smelled weird at first, but nothing major. Its crazy comfy, everyone falls asleep in it, if youre looking for a great hammock, this is it my friend.
