Our whole family loves this hammock chair. We originally purchased one for my teenager's room for a holiday gift (the set with this stand and the hammock chair). She loved it and we were impressed by the quality of the materials and how sturdy it is. It easily supports the adults just as well as the kids, and even when the kids swing in it a bit it doesn't tip (though I do ask them not to swing it too much). :) I really appreciate the solid wood construction of the stand and the washable cotton fabric of the hammock, and I was happy to see that even the packaging was fully recyclable. We liked it so much that after assembling the first one we ended up purchasing a second one for the rest of the family to enjoy in the recreation room. I looked at many "swing" style chairs before deciding on this one and I have no regrets with this purchase. I think it will stand up to many years of regular use and it looks great with the wood stand and the beautifully woven fabrics (we have the blue zebra and black / white zebra prints). If we ever do need to dispose of it, I believe all the components would be fully recyclable or compostable as well, which is important to me. The customer service is above and beyond as well.
