Vivere Double Cotton Hammock with Space Saving Steel Stand, Upgraded Polyester End Strings 450 lb Capacity - Premium Carry Bag Included - USA Grown Cotton (Tropical)

For Mother's Day this year, my wife told me she wanted a hammock. For some reason she had a thought of the time when we were on our honeymoon and the resort we stayed at had hand woven hammocks for every room's balcony/patio. So around that same time, we started looking around locally. We even went to a local craft fair and found these beautiful hand woven hammocks for sale... the problem was that the local seller wanted $160 for just the hammock alone.Another problem that I didn't realize until actually measuring is that the our deck/patio at home didn't have any place to mount a hammock. There's also not very many mature trees in our backyard, so going the hammock tree straps "route" wasn't going to work either. That's when I started looking around online for a hammock with a metal stand. That's when I found this one.I will admit that the reason I ended up choosing this hammock was based on:1. It was the #1 Best Seller in Hammocks on Amazon2. It hand an unusually high amount of 5-star reviews.After reading probably about a dozen reviews, I ended up picking a color that matched our house & patio decor. Then the rest is history...All I can say is that this is an amazing hammock and the hardware is fantastic. On Mother's Day, my wife literally spent all day laying in it, napping, watching TV, etc in it. She said it was one of the best presents I've ever gotten her.The hammock itself is very strong and my wife actually likes it better than the handwoven ones. Particularly because it's just one big sheet. Handwoven hammocks made in a "net style" end up being uncomfortable over time with each cord pressing onto your skin. The Vivere is basically a thick sheet/blanket that cocoons itself around you (very comfortably).The stand is just simply genius and can be set up within 5 minutes by 1 person. It's very sturdy and testing the hammock attached to it, my wife and I were able to swing in it without problems. I know that the instruction sheet says not to use it as a swing, but it was sturdy enough to moderately swing in it. I also wanted to add that the instructions mention that the hammock will sag over time (obviously over normal usage & wear). When that happens, you can adjust the hooks to "raise" the hammock higher to prevent your butt from touching the floor/stand bar. At the lowest setting, it was able to accommodate me (203 lbs) but my wife said it was too low. By raising the hook to the next setting, it raised the hammock bed higher. This is a wonderful idea that extends the longevity of your hammock.The carrying case that comes with it is a very nice touch. What it does is allow you to make your hammock portable (think picnics, camping, or simply just resting outdoors) or allows you to store it safely.On top of that, add the 1 year manufacturer warranty, this thing truly is a 5-star relaxing setup!

Took me a little extra time to set up, but I'm not skilled in putting things together. Overall, was very simple--the videos were helpful. Only downside is that I thought the color I bought was blue and brown, but the "brown" color is more of a maize/yellow color. It just hurts my heart that I have a blue and yellow (University of Michigan Wolverines) hammock when I'm a fan of green and white (MSU Spartans). Super comfortable, great price, very sturdy.

Easy to assemble - took me 10 minutes as 1 person. No tools needed. Very comfortable to lay in. Love the colors

I don't think I've ever been so excited to get something in the mail! Could have been the super long and miserable winter, but I could not WAIT to get this set up. Luckily, setup was a breeze and required no tools whatsoever. Screw about six things in by hand, loop the hammock over the hooks and you're in business. In less than ten minutes, I was enjoying my first hammock ever!Some others mentioned an odor/smell, but I didn't notice anything. I set this up outdoors in about 70 degree weather and didn't notice anything and I'm highly sensitive to smells, esp that new plastic/manufacturing smell.I didn't have any struggles putting the pieces together, either. It was so easy to put together and I truly did appreciate not having to use any tools to screw anything into place.I logged about two hours in the 'mock today and I have to tell you, there's no uncomfortable position. I initially was a little skeptical that I'd like a hammock that was so wide (seeing the hammock 'burrito' pictures some others posted left me curious), but I've found that the wideness can sometimes provide some shade, too. There are so many ways to lie on this and it's just so cozy. I opted for the cotton hammock (color: tropical), and not the sunbrella fabric. The cotton is super soft and durable.I will take the cotton hammock part in the garage when not in use, but will leave the stand in the yard all summer.The hammock and stand seem very well-made. I had no hesitation about moving around in it and getting in and out. This hammock can accommodate up to 450 lbs. I had my boyfriend join me in the hammock, but it was kind-of cramped and, as he said, "it's not my thing". Pffft - more hammock for me!The hammock and stand come with a carrying case, too. I don't imagine I'll be transporting my hammock any where, but it does indeed break down easily and fits in a very nice little bag if you want to hammock somewhere else. Nice addition.So far, I'm very impressed! I'll update this review at the end of the season and note any flaws or issues, if applicable. For $130 (as of this writing), I'm very happy and look forward to wasting away the summer in this!

Okay so I ordered this for my husband who has back issues, I made sure I read all the reviews good and bad and watched the videos on youtube. I think for under $130 this hammock stand is well worth the price. I searched around for other hammocks and none seemed to meet my needs or budget. When the box came in it felt heavy and I did get a little worry about being able to travel with it. I had seen on Youtube how to assemble it and I thought I would give it a try before reading the instructions... sure enough it took me 12 minutes to put together by myself.Things you should know:1.) When the stand is put together it doesn't seem like the hammock, washer and hook will work past the first top hole, so I placed the hammock in the first top hole sat down and sank immediately. The hammock stretched a little and I decided to try and stretch it to the second hole. I put it on the second hole and layer down I was only about 6 inches off the floor and it seemed like it needed to be pulled tighter but the hammock needed a little stretching so I layer there a little while longer. After a while the hammock stretched out enough to be able to put it in the third hole and now it feels perfect.2.) If you are tall you should lay on it diagonally. Actually if you are any size laying on it diagonally will feel more comfortable ( I learned this trick after much research online). If you are tall, however, your head may hit the washer (I'm talking about taller than 6 and a half feet tall) This problem was solved by laying on it a little diagonally.3.)The actual hammock seemed like a heavy cotton which I loved. I wasn't expecting it to be that thick. You can feel that it will last forever. It is really big my husband is 6 feet 2 and about 230lbs and he can lay in it and still wrap the hammock over his body. I don't think it will be comfortable for two adults to lay in there not even skinny people because of the way the hammock is made. You would need a hammock with a stick on the ends for that. I can lay comfortably in the hammock with both my kids (girls) and we still have room to spare.4)*** NOT so great --> after I assembled the hammock I looked at the instructions twice to make sure I did everything right and sure enough it was really easy, BUT the frame didn't seem to be aligned very well. The leg lifted on one end for a while but after we used the hammock it straightened out.5.) It did come with a big black bag looks just like my camping tent bag. Everything fit in there nicely, it is a bit heavy but I plan only on taking it with us for camping so it's not like I'll be hiking with it on my back for long periods.I'm not sure how long this hammock will last the frame is steel and it seems real sturdy but it was also really cheap and I live by the motto "you get what you payed for." So since a $1,000 dollar hammock wasn't in my budget this seems to be the perfect option for my budget. I feel like I got a great deal and that it was well worth the price. It's a huge hammock and my husband loves it. I would recommend this to a friend and I'm crossing my fingers that it will last a long time.

Hammock is very comfortable and resistant. The base is also very resistant and adjustable too. Worth the price. 10/10.

About a decade ago, I replaced my traditional mattress bed with a hammock and never looked back. This is the hammock stand I have been hanging my hammocks on and sleeping in every night for 10 years.The stand is sturdy, stable and easy to put together with no tools. It comes with a carrying bag that holds the whole setup and has the instructions sewn on the outside. It's not a small bag, nor is it light, but you could easily put it in a trunk or backseat.My only complaint is that depending on where your weight is in the hammock, the hammock ropes may rub against the wingnut and/or bolt that comes through the frame. I solved this by using some neoprene rubber from a mouse pad to fashion a washer that I put on the outside of the stand to take up some extra length on the hook bolt and screwed the wingnut down accordingly. I've noticed on newer models, the design had changed slightly and this is no longer an issue.I highly recommend this setup. I love that it can accommodate hammocks of different lengths and is so compact, sturdy and easy to assemble. The stand alone is worth the purchase price!Edit 10/22/15: I've had this product for 2 1/2 years now and wanted to report back on it. The stand is still in excellent condition despite the damp Northwest weather, and is still in daily use. In fact, at least three other people I know of have bought this combo to replace a mattress setup at home and are still, to my knowledge, using it happily.Since I bought this setup it's also been through many moves, been used as a guest bed, loved by cats, and survived some...dynamic forces for which it was probably not intended! It's been rock solid with over 400 lbs in it.I've used this stand with the hammock it came with, as well as nylon camping hammocks, and the range of adjustability has made it easy. I've retired the original hammock it came with, since it's pretty much blown out after a hard life, and am replacing it with a homemade tablecloth hammock. I've since learned more about hammocks and can add the caveat that no matter the length of the hammock you use in this stand, you will have a 9ft ridgeline and roughly a 4ft hang height, so the ability to fine tune your sag is a bit limited. That said, you can adjust the hammock length by adjusting where you hang it on the stand, so you have some wiggle room, and the hang angle that's built in is pretty close to 30 degrees to my eye.I see this stand continuing to serve me for a long time. It's a great portable hammock solution and the easiest way to have a hammock in an apartment or small space.The stand still comes apart and sets up easily, even if it's been left set up for a while. I do recommend using a tiny bit of grease on the threads of the bolt if you want to make sure they don't seize up.Update: 12/08/18Yup, still using this hammock stand and still sleeping in it every night. I'm on my third hammock bed now and think this stand might last forever.Still no signs of rust, despite the North West damp and no signs of wear. I've moved houses several times. I've stored it in a storage unit that wasn't climate controlled for a couple weeks during winter and both the stand and bag show no signs of mildew. I've attached both steel and aluminum carabiners to the hooks with no problems.I thought by now that the rubber end caps, the curved washers, or the plastic hand bolts would have broken, but the hardware is still in great shape.I've also converted another person into a full-time hammock sleeper after they tried mine out and they're using this same stand happily and they weigh about 300 lbs.Just buy it.Update 11/28/21:What do you know? Still using this hammock stand every night and loving it!It's been about 10 years and all the hardware is in great shape and it's just as sturdy as ever. I've converted at least 4 other people to full time indoor hanging and to my knowledge, all are still happily using this stand with no issues.I've learned so much about hammocks now and can add that if you're over 6ft tall, depending on how you sleep, you may not get the flattest diagonal lay on this stand because the ridgeline is limited to 9ft. For that reason, at a certain point extra hammock width will not matter, so I wouldn't bother with a hammock bigger then a double as you'll just have extra fabric in your face.I've had pets, partners and friends hang with me, including tall folks and big folks. I've broken down and reassembled it countless times. I've moved it and stored it in damp places. I've subjected the stand to vigorous adult activities with no failures (of the stand, anyway!). I've used a wide variety of hammocks on it, and even added an underquilt to my current setup. I've built blanket forts over it because I'm an adult and I do what I want. I've never left it outdoors in the rain, so I can't speak to that, but I've used it in every other way imaginable.I even tried switching to some indoor-specific wall anchors for my full time hanging and came right back to this hammock stand.This stand is, without a doubt, the easiest way to hang a hammock indoors, whether full time or intermittently. If you have a 9ft by 4ft space, you can have blissful hammock hangs anytime you like, for years to come.Just buy the darn thing!

I like that we can now spend more time outside as we are more relaxed in this hammock than sitting on chairs. Setup is fast once you get used to it, on average it takes less than 5 minutes to setup. We never leave it outside as it is so easy to take apart and put back together. Very strong as well. Any giving time its my wife,my youngest and myself which is 290 lbs with no issues. I just wish the storage bag was a bit bigger as you have to perfectly lay the hammock inside in order to fit and zipper close.

I just love it. Worth buying 👍

Comfortable and welcoming. It's a delight to have at home and fills the whole family with joy.

Best purchase, I've always wanted one, but I am normally too heavy for such things. This has a high weight rating, and I was excited. It's exactly as described and the photo, it holds my massive weight, it's comfortable, I feel safe, it's easy as, to pack up and put out! would 100% recommend this amazing hammock!I got one for my brother too, and he loves it so much as well.

La primera vez fue un poco complicado armarla, se ve resistente y es una buena opción para descansar

It's excellent, we love it.
