I found the design and functionality of this quite nice, but I rapidly discovered that this banana hammock could not comfortably fit my produce. I've kept using it to store walnuts and pecans however.

I actually got this because I found the concept to be a bit humorous, but it has turned out to be functional as well. It holds quite a bit of food and is larger than I thought it would be. I also liked that it was easy to assemble.

I bought this product. It does the job, provided that the one that you get holds up. Both of the ones that I bought, the posts kept turning if the food's weight distribution was 'too much' for this cheaply made product. If you overtighten the post screws, then the product is shot. On the two that I had to buy for necessity, I had to put a small finishing nail on both sides of each post in order to ensure that the posts will not turn. I need a third one, but, I may take the hammock ropes that come with this cheap product and make my own 3-tiered fruit hammock. I can make a square one (so that I can use all 3 of the same-lengthed rope hammocks), and reinforce the corners and base so that it can withstand the load. I will try to make it decorative as well. Maybe an elliptical interior shape of the wood, with a square-ish outer wood look.

Overall, it works. But, it sucks, because it's cheaply made.

Purchased this for the fruit (bananas). Works great. I didn't have any problems with it. and the fruit stays in it. I must have gotten lucky, because I read some of the ratings. I see no problems and have been using this for about a month.

I got it as a wedding gift and they love it. The fruit ripens evenly and stays in plain sight so it's never forgotten about in the fridge.

This is a great product and holds way more fruit than one would expect by looking at it. Just for fun, I stuck in a 6-bunch of nanners, 4 peaches, 4 apples and topped it off with a bunch of grapes and it held it all, didn't sag to the base of the hammock, either.
Comes in 3 pieces so it's easy to put together, but the rings on either end of the netting threw me for a loop and the directions weren't much help there (maybe I just confuse easily?), but all in all a great product!

I am sorry I purchaced this it was made very cheaply big disapointment, If it was not ordered on line I would have returned it Prodyne FH-300 Beech wood Fruit and Veggie Hammock

cool product. Mine was defective though. The fitting where the support screw screws in was loose. Tried to glue the fitting in and left it overnight to dry. Assembled the product the next day and all seemed well. Picked it up by the base of the struts to move it 3ft to the right and one of the supports snapped. Returned to Amazon, waiting for the replacement to arrive.

This looks nice with some baby pineapples, mangoes, coconuts, etc. in a tropical setting. Any fruit would probably do. Nice little hammock!
