Ā Iāve wanted to try hammocks for a while, my son is 10 and weighs about 65lb, Iām 35 and weigh 320lbs, so I was pretty skeptical that a hammock this cheap ($13-14) would hold me. I bought one for each of us, and this past weekend we took them on a cubscout trip. We did practice setting them up before hand, and like most of the reviews the included tree straps are pretty useless, stopped at the hardware store and picked up a pack of ratchet straps and no prob. I was very nervous getting in the first time being such a heavy guy and anticipating hearing a snap and hitting the ground, but it never happened. The straps on the end of the hammock look small and week but proved their strength. We slept in the hammocks all 3 nights on our trip and every night was great, we both fell asleep quickly and woke up refreshed. The other reviews complaining about comfort may have been sleeping straight on, which you should sleep/lay at an angle of about 30 degrees. This makes a big difference, and at 5ā10 and 320lbs if I can fit in there comfortably, anyone should be able too. The only complaint I can justify is the tree straps are inadequate at best. They are strong enough just not long enough, but at the price point I wouldnāt of cared if they didnāt even come with it. We used them to lash up a bag. Get some ratchet straps or decent trees straps, they will give you the most flexibility with different distances between trees as well.

The included strap is completely useles
If you want to buy one hammock off Amazon and use it, this is not the one to buy. I would not trust these straps to support my weight (120 lbs) if they were even long enough to go around any tree. They are incredibly thin and not long enough to be usable, I don't see why they would cheap out so much here when there are other hammocks at this price point that do a phenomenal job.If you have spare rope to use to tie around a tree, then you could get this hammock and be satisfied, sure, but the extremely thin "rope" that comes with it is also what's used to attach the carabiner to the hammock.If you only want to use this a few times, and on small trees, it should work for you. But I'd recommend spending the extra $1 or two on a better hammock with locking straps or looped straps, and wouldn't recommend this. I'm ready to return this

Must have
On a scale of 1-10 i give it a 22. Im in love with this hammock. Its cheap and quality is on point. Im 260 lbs it support me just find look at my fatness in the pictures. So easy to set up. I now realized i wasted time looking at all the other offer. It come in a bag attach to the hammock that turns into a side bag to put my keys or phone or book or anything.

Decent, but I can't put it up.
I have had multiple hiking hammocks and I CAN use the old hardware to put this one up, but I shouldn't have to. This stated it came with straps. The straps were just over 3/8 of an inch wide and about 4' long. Not long enough to wrap around any decent tree and still be able to tie it to connect. The hammock itself was fine, lightweight, small bag, holds my weight just fine but if anywhere besides indoors or somewhere engineered for a hammock IT WILL NOT WORK unless you are very lucky on spacing. The price is amazing but I just can't bring myself to give it 4 stars without a way to hang it up because it was described as coming with a way to mount it. If you don't have a way to hang it, this is not the hammock for you.

Good for relaxing, not camping.
This is a standard inexpensive hammock. Plenty of other hammocks are available in this general price range, and they all seem to be about the same. This one is made of a parachute type of nylon, not ripstop. I would not expect it to hold up to much abuse, but that is what the brand name camping hammocks are for.The hardware is useable, but I replaced the carabiners with some stronger ones I had lying around. This is not necessary, but not a bad idea if you have some spare hammock or climbing carabiners.The "tree straps" are not so much tree straps as weak, short nylon webbing. I realized this before I ordered, but it may not be obvious to others, so I thought I would mention it. I have a bunch of proper tree straps and didn't need another set lying around. If you don't have tree straps, I suggest buying a real set, or buying a different hammock that comes with real tree straps.So this hammock is not the most durable, comes with cheap hardware, and the "tree straps" are useless, so why buy it? Well, the eight or so yards of nylon to make a hammock would cost more than this, and I would have to sew it together. The parachute nylon feels a bit nicer than ripstop against my skin, and it's light and packs down small.I have a hammock I use for camping that is heavy duty, has all the quilts, bug nets, ridglines, and everything else. It packs down bigger, can be a PITA to set up, and I overheat if I want to sit in it for more than five minutes during a summer day. Having a quick setup, light weight, small option in my pack is worth 17 bucks.Bottom line, this is not a camping hammock. It's a quick and easy option if you want to relax on a hike or in your yard. For the price and intended use it works fine, just get a proper set of tree straps.

Worth the money.
This review is for the "single" hammock. It was only 11.99 at the time i purchased. It included straps and carabiners. The carabiners are heavy duty. The straps are more than adequate. There seems to be a lot of reviews complaining about the straps but the ones i received are over 8 feet long and defiantly strong enough to support the 400 pounds that is claimed. Maybe the company upgraded after complaints.? They are not tree straps so you will need to tie your own knots but the material is kinda silky so it was easy for me to tie and un-tie them for different trees. The hammock is comfortable for sitting or laying. Total weight with straps and carabiners was just over one pound but i was able to reduce it to 14 oz by swapping the carabiners for some lighter s-biners. Overall i'm happy with the purchase. I may buy another one to keep in the car. Definitely worth the twelve bucks.

Great hammock!
Excellent hammock for the price and I love the colour š the straps it comes with are not great so I would recommend ordering better ones, my personal favourite are the ENO tree straps.

Very disappointed..
I bought this for a camping trip in the spring and I didn't open it before I left. BIG MISTAKE. When I got to the campsite I was excited to put up my new hammock, but the straps that came with it were not long enough to go around even the smallest of trees. Unfortunately, I was unable to use this hammock because I couldn't hang it anywhere due to the straps being too short. Really wish I could have used to product..

Decent! For the money, straps suck, buy other straps.
Hammock seems to be well made, light and comfortable, exactly what I needed. Do not assume that the straps provided in the picture are actual tree straps, the straps it came with are 1/2 wide, with no loops and pretty much useless for hanging. However decent straps can be purchased on amazon fairly cheap. Straps are recommended as they ease setup and rope/paracord stretches and youāll wake up in the morning with your back touching the ground.

No carabiner included
Bought it as a gift, but the carabiner is not included in the package.I would suggest not two people use it.The strap could be larger in length but at the mean size, it is okay.

Would recommend
This hammock has saved my pandemic summer! Luckily we have trees in our backyard and the hammock fits perfectly between them. It was easy to set up and follow the knot instructions. The hooks are sturdy and havenāt rusted after being left out in the rain. The fabric is thin, but sturdy. For a $25 hammock for the backyard, it was a great investment.
