Excellent product, easy to handle, simple design
I've been using this stand (and the hammock combo) for about 6 weeks now and I couldn't be happier. The stand is 5 pieces that go together easily, no tools, muss, or fuss. It was exactly what I needed since my yard has exactly one tree.

The hammock that Amazon basically gave away with the combo is not the best hammock you can buy (I mostly use my own) but you can't really argue with free. It is a almost too short for my 6' height and the ropes are quite a bit thicker than the hammock I had previously (and still mostly use). I take this hammock with me on picnics and such and figure it's disposable if it gets damaged while on the road.

I am not a small person, 6' 270 lbs., and I do have the hammock in the highest position using the chains, but I have had no problems with the stand or the hammock. Two good sized people and a child have used the hammock with no problems (still under the stated 500 lb. limit).

Because of the simplicity of design and the easy breakdown and setup I have taken the hammock to picnics and parties in my trunk (I do have to fold the back seat down to fit the long pieces).

My only wish were that the pipe ends had some kind of rubber seal, or maybe a locking pin, that would make it a little easier for one person to move the stand around when mowing (it comes apart easily if you try to pull on one end, but never while using it). If you have two people carefully moving it there is no problem, with one person you have to walk it back and forth.

Cool Stand and Durable
This is a great hammock stand. I bought it for my husband along with a great hammock from amazon for his birthday last summer. This stand is so strong and durable. My husband and I and all 4 of our young children have laid in the hammock and it never wobbled. It's easy to move to mow around and the green blends in with the woods and grass around our yard. A MUST FOR ANY HAMMOCK USER!!

Good but not the best
I bought the set with the hammock plus this stand. I will say it was worth the $99 I spent but it does have negatives. The stand has no interlocking parts. This makes the stand hard to move when it is assembled as it does not lock together. This annoys me as the locking parts would have probably cost an extra $3 on the price. Cutting corners like this seems almost foolish to me as the locks would be worth it. Otherwise the stand seems strong and works well. The hammock I recieved had a tag made in India and by the looks of it labor was not the only thing they saved on. The rope looks kind of cheap and the hammock needs to be hung high or when your in it you will sit on the floor. I guess for free I am happy enough with the hammcok but it is cheaply made!

Omni Swings n' Things Hammock Stand,Green
I purchased the hammockstand and hammock in two seperate orders. I received the hammock than used the Ups tracking on the day they said it went out for delivery,itstated that the carrier refused it due to damage and that it was being returned to sender. The next day the Ups delivered it with an apology from the driver and said that he was told to deliver it to me. The box it cam in was worn,and nothing but tape all around holding the box together. After taking the stand out of the box it went together in less than five minutes. The hammock stand is great with my only complaint is how it was shipped. One thing also is the customer has to supply the hooks and chains which costs around four dollars.

Doesn't Fit
I bought the hammock with accompanying stand. The rope hammock is way too long for the stand. My teenager weighs about 100lbs
and when he gets in the hammock,it stretches so much that he is virtually on the ground. Bought as Christmas present and what a disappointment this summer. Looks pretty, thus one star. I suggest you buy only the hammock and make sure you have two big trees to tie it tautly. ... Read more

An Oasis Outdoors.
My husband and children purchased the Castaway Rope Hammock as a birthday gift for me. I love the detail of the craftsmanship. We purchased a frame from a local retailer so that it can be moved around the yard depending on the need at the time. The 13 foot length just fits in the frame. I wanted the hammock, so I could enjoy the out doors with my family. Do to illness, I have to take alot of down time, most of the time it is indoors, because it is hard to get comfortable outdoors. But now, when I need down time, and everyone else is outside, I use my hammock,the large width even allows my children to snuggle and enjoy our time together. It is relaxing, comfortable and just fits my need for an " Oasis".

Two people? I don't think so!
The ... description says this hammock can accommodate two adults. Not bloody likely! Maybe if those two adults were Kate Moss and Lara Flynn Boyle; but an average-weight woman and man? Uh-uh. You'd be resting on the bar of the hammock stand; this hammock is way too saggy for that.

I'm a little concerned about the fact that it's made of cotton rope; I think nylon rope would be much more durable and weather-resistant. Still, it's not a bad hammock for the price (free with the purchase of the stand), and it is dangerously comfy. Practically every time I lie down on it, intending to spend some time with a book, I end up taking a nap. D'oh!

I'm going to Scotchguard it and probably still take it in when the weather gets icky. We'll see how long it lasts; I won't feel ripped off if I end up buying a better hammock next year.

Try it: You'll like it!
I brought a hammock stand home because I thought it might be something we could enjoy but the store didn't have any more hammocks. I found this one online here at Amazon[.com]. After the hammock arrived, our fun started with hooking it to the stand. We weren't sure how many links to leave hanging; the first try yielded a seat on the ground. It took three tries and a great deal of laughter to get the right height so we could swing, not sit. Now when we can, we thoroughly enjoy relaxing (one at a time, though) in our back yard. I usually take a pillow, the book I'm currently reading, maybe a light cover in case it's a little cool, a clock for when I get curious about the time, and occasionally a snack. Two hours, usually including a nap, can pass like nothing. It's really a neat experience, relaxing and refreshing, and a way to put some calm into craziness. Even my husband, who snickered at the idea at first, has really enjoyed it. He lays on a comforter and says it's totally comfy.

We found the hammock to be well-constructed. It is everything the product description says it is. Somethimes it's hard to judge what a product will be like in "real life" when just a picture is available. However, the description and the product are exact matches. Go for it! You'll have a great time!

Not the best - Only buy it if it is free!
I ordered the stand and recieved this hammock for free with it. I am glad it was free as it is cheaply made. The tag on it reads made in India and it looked it. This hammock sinks to the ground when I sit on it. I am a big guy but not close to the 400 pound weight limit I read when I bought it. This thing is only good for free. I am sure it will not last long.

It's like it's made of elastic instead of cotton.
I got the hammock/hammock stand combo deal... not such a good deal at all. The hammock is attached to the stand as tightly as possible, without any slack in the chain, and this hammock sags all the way to the ground with just one person. When adding a second, you may as well just lie in the grass.
And it's not as though I was pushing the 400 pound weight limit -- hubby and me combine are barely 250 pounds.
The most unfortunate part is that the expense to return it all negates the refund, so this ends up being over a hundred dollars thrown away. ... Read more

great; weight limit & hardware
This is a beautiful, sturdy, well-designed product. At first I thought it would look silly in a New England apartment, but then I sat in it and stopped caring. It's that comfortable. It's also fairly unobstrusive, and in a pinch (toddlers visiting? landlord dropping by?) it's easy to substitute a hanging plant or just unhook the chain from the ceiling altogether.

As far as safety, if you install it correctly you have nothing to worry about; yes, it will hold two people at once. :-) You'll need to buy a length of chain at the hardware store -- ask for 3/16" link, 750-lb test, and get one or two S-hooks that fit through a link. The chair itself is rated to support up to 500 lbs. Finally, a 2" x 4" ceiling joist will support 450 lbs over a 10-foot span before it begins to bow or buckle. Recommended . . . enjoy!

MY WIFE LOVES IT
My wife and kids love the chair, but I don't care for it that much. I thought the chair was a little bit constricting. Assembly was easy. Give yourself alot of room for it, the base is huge.

Nice, but doesn't last outside
I bought one for my wife for Christmas 2 years ago, and it was inside most of the time for the first year, and outside most of the second year, and the small ropes in the seat broke and the chair developed large holes as it raveled apart.
We live in Florida, but it was under a big oak tree, so it was shaded all day.
Ropes also got dirty looking fast.

Great deal from a true bargain queen!
I searched many sites to find an affordable hammock that was also durable. I was replacing a hammock that was brought back from Panama, and wanted equal craftsmanship, not the uncomfortable & awkward braided type. Most others I saw were $60 - $160. This hammock is perfect for lazing around off my back porch. My 3 year old won't stay out of it! You didn't have it in stock for Mother's Day, so I kept it for myself when it did finally come in. Thanks again for one of life's simple pleasures that us parents seems to miss out on ~ relaxation!

Not comfortable, doesn't hold up to weather...
Hammock is ok quality, and a decent price, but it isn't the most comfortable. You feel like you're slumped into a sling, and you need large trees or posts to tie it to. If you want a comfortable hammock, or you want to use a stand, get hammock with wood bars. I bought one from ExoticHammocks for about $50 and gave away my Amazona. Also, look for a hammock with nylon or polyester. Cotton hammocks rot and fade.

woo-hoo
For the price this hammock is 6 starts. I mean, when you look around and see prices ranging in the 150's, to only drop just 40 makes this baby an easy sell. It has so far been a delight to lie in and with my newly purchased Tiki torches ...and some starving wannabe actors chained to my back porch I feel just like I am in Survivor.

Sleep in comfort
I have been sleeping in hammocks for five years now. I have had problems sleeping in beds for years. Because of my wide shoulders I cannot sleep on my side without "throwing my back out". I had purchased a bed that cost a couple of thousand dollars and when that did not take care of the problem, I did some thinking about how people have slept over the course of human history.

It occured to me that peoples who slept in hammocks seemed to stay with them longer then societies that slept on mats or beds of various kinds. I also found that hammocks seem to have evolved in all of the warm climate areas and since we no longer sleep out doors (not here in Maine anyway), I thought it made some sense to give it a try.

I have been sleeping very comfortably in a "Mayan" style hammock for these five years and needed to replace mine. I bought the "Taino" and found it to be more comfortable to sleep in than the "Mayan" style. It does not sag in the center as much, so that my arms are not pressed up against me, that might be something you would enjoy, but not I. Over time the smaller threads of the "Mayan" style get snagged and broken and repairs can be a little difficult when more then one are broken. Because of my three dogs, I need a hammock that can withstand some abuse (Yes, one of them has learned to sleep in the hammock with me) and the thicker cord is a positive in that respect.

My wife asked me to buy her a new "Taino" hammock to replace hers, so I ordered another one today.

If you are looking for a great nights sleep, this is the hammock I would recommend.

Peace,
James

Worth it!
It was more than I expected. It was easy to hang, looks good, and most of all it is as comfortable as advertised. Too bad I don't have more places to hang more hammocks.

Better Than a Bed
Proof positive that you don't have to hanging under a palm tree on a white sandy beach to fully appreciate the hammock experience! These hammocks are perhaps the most blissful place one can rest, and it really doesn't matter whether they are hung between support walls in your living room or strung between two trees in the backyard. I have spent countless hours perfecting my hammock posture and in the course of this perfection have test-driven a whole bunch of hammocks. I can, with absolute certainty, tell you that this hammock is the stuff dreams are made of. It is constructed of a durable and soft cotton that breathes with you and doesn't cause itchiness or that unpleasant "Plastic" feeling. When it is strung up right, you can either lay horizontally or vertically - it matters not because it's amazingly comfortable either way. Some of my most peaceful sleep and dreamiest dreams have come from hammock-induced slumber. I strongly recommend it for any and everyone considering their sleeping alternatives. The hammock isn't banished to the tropics anymore, and in fact looks just great in my Kansas living room. Trust me - get a little tired and get a big ole hammock! This one in partiucular will make your socks roll up and down! ... Read more

not an all weather swing
I purchased this swing, the first one that i received had a defective weaving, the cords came apart. I got a replacement, since then i have had the swing out and have barely used it, this summer when i tried to sit in it, the rope gave away and i fell down. Note that this swing was barely sat in.

My parents like it.
I gave this as a gift to my Mom...she loves it and says she can lay back in it like a hammok. My Dad has also tried it. They had it put up on a tree in less than an hour after they recieved it from UPS. Mom says she can take it down and put it up easily without Dad's help. When a storm hits, this is a good idea. After visiting the folks, I find that it It fits me(at 6' 2" and 275 lbs) I can now rate it five stars. dispite the thin(looking) ropes, this thing could fit a circus elephant it's so strong(Hehe).

Got to love it
This wonderful hammock continues to offer my family a much-needed break from gardening, raking, or playing with the kids. The kids love to pile in and spin until they are dizzy - while I enjoy a much needed break and read a favorite book.

Grandma's View
We received one of these chairs as a gift from our daughter several years ago. It has been a great conversation piece, besides being a very comfortable chair. The grandkids argue over who's turn it is to use it. It is very relaxing to sit in it on the patio on a nice summer evening and read or watch the sunset.

Made only of cotton cable cord, this Taino natural hammock is designed in the spirit of the first hammocks in the western hemisphere--made by the Taino people of Puerto Rico--and is very easy to set up and maintain.

This hammock's bed measures 7-1/2 feet square and about 6 feet in length with the hanging ropes. It's very comfortable if you like being snug. The charming style works well outside and inside--imagine the bliss of curling up in your hammock tucked into the corner of a sunroom or den. ... Read more

Wonder of wonder! I love my hammock!
I love my hammock. I actually have 2 now, and they are both in my backyard. I like the white because it goes well with my yard, and sometimes with the multi colored ones you never know what you're going to get. It is also extremely comfortable. If you combine this with the smell of cut grass and a cool breeze and I think you may have just found the key to life.

How wonderful an item that provides comfort and stability at such an affordable price to relax in the evening shade. No yard should be without the ever-enticing hammock - and now available in RAINBOW colors, too! How fun!

Mayan hammocks are considered the most comfortable in the world. A miracle of craftsmanship, this unique two-person bed is 7 feet and 2 inches long by a whopping 12 feet wide and is made up of more than 2 miles of fine cotton cord strung over hundreds of strong white nylon arm strings--a construction that is capable of supporting more than 1,000 pounds. And that's hardly the impressive part. The parade of color on this hammock spans fuchsia, red, fiery orange, sky blue, black, white, and the greenest of greens: a display as delightful as the floating feeling you'll get when you rest on it. Our only caution? When you first open the package you'll probably be overwhelmed by the thousands of tiny strings that look like one daunting tangle. Before hanging, spread the bed out straight on the ground, then pick up one handle at a time and shake gently. The strings should fall out neatly, and you'll be ready to float in style. ...

Anyone Can Be A Swinger
What is over 7 feet long and 12 feet wide with a kaleidoscope of enthralling colors? What allows you to swing so peacefully as to smile sleepily at falling leaves in the Autumn, bundle up and hide in it during furried snowball fights, or invite a friend or two, or even three to relax and celebrate the coming of Spring under the glow of a full moon? Answer: This extremely well built Mayan hammock by the Omni Corporation.

Made of durable Nylon threading, colors re-creating Mexican sunsets, able to hold up to a 1000 pounds of body weight, this is a beauty of a hammock. My sister has one up at her lake cottage and we almost have to take numbers to get a turn in it! Even the animals love it-it has held up to dogs, cats, squirrels, and five rousting male species--all at one time.

This hammock is easy to hose off for cleaning and wears well in all climates. At this bargain price--I just might have to get her another one, for me.

Kids love it
We've had the hammock for a month, now. I hung it between two trees. We use it for relaxing (adults should lie diagonally for the most comfort), and even as a big swing for the kids. We've never tried two adults at a time, but one adult and one kid fit just fine. And, kids can hang onto it easily to be safe while swinging. My daughter loves to pretend she's a butterfly in a chrysalis by wrapping the sides around her. The colors and weave are nice-looking. I'm happy with it!

Did i hang it wrong???
I bought mine on Cozumel and hung it when i got home. But when you get into it, it feels like you're lying on a flat board, the sides dont go up around you, and it feels like if you were to turn or shift around, you'd just fall out of it (it's a one person hammock). If I did hang it without doing something additional to it (i just hung it from the loops on the ends), please tell me how to fix it! Thanks!

Mayan hammocks rule!
I lived for two years on the Yucatan peninsula and slept in nothing but these hammocks. I personally think that if you sleep in them right they are more comfortable than beds! There's a trick to sleeping or resting in them -- you don't lie in them like a regular hammock (you'd feel like a banana!)... you lie in them diagonally, and if you get it right you won't even need a pillow.

The larger hammocks will let you fit two people comfortably (lying diagonally of course), and they even make good baby swings (wrap the sides up to get some space between the threads, then clasp them up at the top).

I have six hammocks made by the locals in Merida, but if you get one of these you'll not regret it.

Ugly
This is one ugly hammock. It was a gift and would not have been my choice. It is large enough to hold two people, which might sound like fun, but you end up practically lying on top of each other because it has no spreaders. You'd be better off spending your money on a different hammock. ... Read more

Bright, Brazilian, handwoven, soft, and intricately made: you can't find many things in life that afford so much goodness in one fell swoop--or, rather, sway. The Bossa Nova is yet another exquisite hammock in the Omni Brazilian collection. The 8-foot-long, 5-1/2-foot-wide cloth bed is plenty big enough for two to share in comfort. The 12-foot tough cords used for attachment and reinforced loop ends should hold up to years of reclining between the trees. All you'll need is some rope to tie the hammock up and, of course, two trees or posts.

The fabric is a sturdy weave, but soft enough to feel good against your skin for hours of summer relaxation. Unlike net hammocks, this one won't imprint a crisscross pattern on your skin after a long, lazy nap. This Brazilian design includes decorative crochet fringes hanging down from the sides, which add an inviting touch of style to the Bossa Nova's appearance. The price is right; the midafternoon floating is, well, dreamy. ... Read more

One negative point about the hammock
I rated this hammock with four stars. Overall I really like my hammock. I like the feel of the hammock, the size of the hammock, and the nice crochet art work. I rated this hammock with four stars due to the fact it has no spreaders. I would like this hammock even more if it had spreaders.

HOW TO LIE IN YOUR HAMMOCK
R.E. review in how to lie in your hammock.
The feeling of being engulfed in the hammock is actually an asset. The extra material in the hammock is to allow the user to stretch out comfortably. The traditional hammocks do not use a spreader bar to open the hammock up but rather use the object in it, namely you. A traditional hammock is meant to be lain in at a diagonal. This opens the hammock up considerably and flattens the curve of the hammock out. Try it. You have much more space and stability than a spreader bar hammock and he comfort is unsurpassed.

country cottage
This brings old world charm,and a touch of class
to your garden.

Great-looking!
Looks aren't everything, though...this is a beautiful hammock, but a single person using it is just engulfed in it as it folds up with their body weight! No crossbars on the ends to keep the hammock open, which makes it difficult to use at best. We're novice hammock users, so don't know if there's a trick to this or not. If there is, we haven't yet figured it out.

Great Buy!!!
I REALLY like this hammock chair stand. After reading the reviews and getting an irresistable price on this ($79.99), I took the plunge. The stand arrived right when Eagle Shipping said it would- although they're not likely to get there on the earliest predicted ship date. It was simple to put together. It is large. The leg span is probably 6 ft. in both directions. It has a pleasant bounce to it and swing if you want to do that. I don't run into the stand while swinging a gentle swing. It's very sturdy, too. It's a great buy and I love it!!

Omni Swings Hanging Hammock Chair Stand
We received the box containing the chair stand in excellent condition. Upon inspection we found it well packed. Excellent instructions. Put together in fast time and we love it. It is very large. Weights about 70lbs. Need ample space for the stand. thanks for such a great deal.

Since then, customer reviews of the actual product have helpfully provided the assembled size, enabling me to purchase with confidence.

An incredible bargain!
When I ordered two of these (May '04) Amazon was having a sale on them, and also offering free shipping. That made the cost of these large steel stands barely more than I'd paid for the hammock chairs I intended to use with the stands, and less than one fifth what a pair of vastly larger and more ugly hammock stands would have cost from the only store I've found locally that sells such stands.

Though large, these stands need to be, to safely support us, and they do so very well. Surprisingly, they also look very good from a distance, and don't block the view from our home.

One hint: the bolts can be hard to tighten with the included Allen wrench. I found putting WD40 on the threads first helped a lot, as did using a higher quality Allen wrench. For a couple of bolts, even more help was needed, but for them a pair of Vise Grips did the trick. Alternatively, I could have easily gotten suitable replacement bolts at a nearby hardware store. Once tightened, the supplied bolts look very good, and seem likely to be very able to survive wet outdoor conditions without rusting.

I will add wooden pads to the base of the stand soon, to make sure the paint isn't scraped off the base by our concrete patio. There are handy bolt holes in the base to make such pads easy to add.

In our case, the delivery company (Eagle) was very helpful, friendly and courteous, arriving within an agreed 4 hour window, and even bringing the heavy cases into the home, though they were not required to do so.

All in all, an incredible bargain.

Very Pleased, Easy to Assemble
I ordered two of these chair stands to put in the back yard. I ordered them on a Sunday, they shipped on Tuesday, delivered on Wed. One box was perfect, the other looked like the UPS truck ran over it, but the stand inside was fine. I found it very easy to assemble and once assembled I found it to be very sturdy. It has a slight bounce to it and I think I would pay attention to the weight limits.

I would not recommend this stand to someone with limited space and I think it would be too big for a balcony, but if you have the space in a back yard it is certainly a flexible way to put the hammock chair wherever you want it and move it if you have the need.

I am looking forward to many afternoons swaying away in my new hammock chair. ... Read more

Too bad it doesn't come with Mai Tai mix
I just got mine, and love it! My old rope hammock had holes the size of chain-link fencing. The weave an this hammock is small enough that you can toss a penny onto it without the penny falling through the holes. This makes it vastly more comfortable (by distributing the weight). It's like the difference between flannel and corduroy.

I tried a non-cotton hammock that I bought locally, but it was so slippery I slid off the silly thing. This hammock is like buttah....

I just needs some limes and a bunch of ice now, and I can kick back in style.

Love this!
I got my husband this Hammock for Father's Day and he LOVES it. No complaints whatsoever.

comfy hammock, until it sags to the ground under your weight
I got this last year from Amazon.com during one of their bundle specials with the hammock stand. It's a nice hammock and comfortable for the most part. My only complaint is that the ropes are too elastic. While it's very relaxing and conforms to your body, after about 30 minutes of laying or sitting on it, you have to get up and retension the hammock to keep your body from dragging along the ground (I'm a lightweight at about 135 lbs). It's possible that I need to break it in more since I've only used it about 10 times, but right now it kind of annoying that I can't just relax without worrying about feeling the ground beneath me.

MAY like it if it ever comes

Messy but good.
This is a beautiful looking and sounding wind chime. I purchased it for my mother and she was very happy with it. It is not a formal looking windchime but its simplicity should fit in well in any decor. The tones sounded are deep and long lasting. The messy part is the finish on the tubes as shipped. There is an initial powder that comes on them that will get everywhere. Don't open this up inside! It seems the powder should fall or wear off soon. I guess the powder is the excess oxidation(?) from the finishing process. It would have been nice if this was removed prior to shipping. That is the only reason I give this 4 instead of 5 stars. ...
