This Hammock was fairly easy to hang (and I suspect will be easier next time) and was incredibly comfortable to relax in. It is small and portable and the additional straps that I added to my purchase were very helpful. I had some trouble tying the knot, but managed to get it all hung in about 15 minutes. I ordered the double and my son and I were both able to fit in comfortably. In fact, my son and his best friend (both 7) were able to get in with me, no problem.My only complaint (and this has NOTHING to do with the company or the hammock) was my color choice. When I chose the hammock, I purchased the crimson, because I liked the way it looked. What I was not aware of, is that this hammock sort of cocoons you in and I found the red to be too bold and intense. I wish that I had chosen a more relaxing color, like green or blue. Just a thought I'd like to mention, if you are deciding on your color- you might want to take that into consideration. Again, that was totally on me, and has nothing to do with the quality of the hammock. Overall, I am incredibly pleased and I suspect I will get a great amount of use out of this hammock.
