By Smalltown Annie from Ash Grove, Missouri on 08/23/2009 Pros: Compact, Easy Set Up, Sturdy Best Uses: Backyard lounging Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It takes only minutes to set up and slides easily across the lawn to a new shady spot. Disassembling for winter storage will be just as easy. Don't forget to keep the box for storage!

When I first assembled it and tried to string a backpacking hammock on it, I panicked. I had to string it very tight=>no sag to keep the hammock off the ground. As I laid on the zero sag hammock, the end poles came up and it sagged out correctly. With just a couple tries/adjustments, I was able to get just right and off the ground.
For backpacking hammockers, the downside is you can't "eyeball" the amount of sag as you would between trees. Just string it real tight and when you get in, the end poles rise and you get the sag.
Pros: it goes together and comes apart easily. It is transportable in any vehicle if you take it apart into it's 8 sections, mainly steel tubes.
Cons: it's big and heavy. You can't "eyeball" the correct sag the first time. As a matter of fact, the correct sag = 0 and tight until you get in it. The little pushbuttons that make it assemble and disassemble so quickly are flimsy and will likely break, because they all do.
If this thing was carbon fiber, I would give it a 5.
