1.0 out of 5 stars Hammock Stand - Not the best, August 17, 2007

Although ok in concept and it does funtion, the brackets are poorly designed and too big for standard 4" X 4" lumber. This makes for a stand which is creaky and does not feel safe. Even when seduring the brackets with screws, there is too much of a gap.

This is incredibly poorly designed - it is clear that the manufacturers never attempted to assemble this item.

We really liked the wood/metal, earthy feel of this hammock stand and the 500 lb limit (we wanted to lie in it as a family), but were sorely disappointed with the design. First, the brackets are too big for standard 4x4's, so the whole thing takes extra effort to secure. Second, the bolts they provide are not long enough, so the whole thing jiggles and feels unsafe. They also ask you to purchase deck screws in the instructions and then never tell you what they're for! We ended up purchasing different bolts and cutting the wood at a 45 degree angle to make it fit better. It has the potential to be really neat, but needs to be redesigned.
