Vivere UHS9 Universal Space-Saving Steel Hammock Stand, 9-Feet, Charcoal

Arrived two days after it was estimated, but came quickly nonetheless. Setup took about 5 minutes and no tools, and no looking at the instructions. I had considered another stand, until I read all of the reviews talking about the setup nightmares. Not so here. And they provide you with some replacement parts too, as well as a storage, carry bag. It's compact, and works great for my hand crafted Mexican wedding hammock (13 ft from loop to loop). I also like that I can easily move the hooks to adjust how high or low each side of the hammock hangs.All in all. I'm very pleased with this purchase, it looks nice, the powder coating is well done, and it's light enough to move around on my roof deck, yet heavy enough to not get blown around.

I've been a hammock guy for nearly 40 years... I've got fancy Hennessy Hammocks, cheap Guatemalan hammocks... you name it... but I've rarely used a stand because they were too bulky, heavy and hard to put up and store... This does the trick with nearly every kind of hammock I have... it comes in a nice little case, is heavy duty enough for a big 280 pounder like me and can be put together or taken down in a couple of minutes if you need to move it or store it. It "may" not work as well with a hammock with spreader bars at each end, but any other kind of hammock works great...And here is the important part.... it is fully adjustable! Your extra long Guatemalan Hammock will work on it and so will your shorter canvas hammock... the way it works is that you simply move the hooks up or down on the posts... that's it... simple, easy, quick...I HIGHLY recommend it for small patios or balconies where you can't hang a hammock from a couple of trees but you also don't want a monster hammock stand taking up room all of the time. And is is great to throw in the car for camping or just enjoying it a the park... small, compact and easy to set up... what more could you ask for?It may sounds cheesy to say this, but this will be the last hammock stand you will ever need to buy!

Works for me! Like a couple other reviewers, I'm a pretty heavy dude at 250 lbs and this thing feels sturdy, even when I add my 20lb pup.SUPER EASY SET-UP, maybe 10 mins after I got it out of the packaging.Hammock connects/disconnects in seconds.Very comfortable and easy to adjust.My only complaint is that the U shaped guide keeps my hammock very stiff and I prefer to sway a bit more than it allows, but time in a hammock is time in a hammock nonetheless and I enjoy it either way. Now I just need some warmer weather to make it's way to my neck of the woods so I can have some more hammock time!

Easy to setup and use. The included carry bag makes it convenient for road trips even though it is a bit bulky. It's great for camping in parks where tying on trees in not allowed. It held the weight of me and my Girlfriend (about 300 lbs ) without any signs or failing. That is combined weight of course. Not girlfriend weight ;-) This is the second one I've bought and I would recommend it to anyone. I keep it in my truck and use it at cookouts and such.

This stand was so easy to put together. It took two of us more time to unpack it (very well packaged, by the way...no chance of scratches) than to put it together! It's very sturdy and easy to move around, but watch out for the wide feet while going through doorways. I hung a thick-weaved hammock that was a gift from Ecuador. This was sitting around the house for a year while I combed hardware stores looking for the proper hardware to attach to my concrete block walls. No worries now! This product is well worth the price. I am going to buy another for my vacation home.

It was so easy to set up and take down so it's very portable. It comes with a bag to store it in or transport it. It's sturdy and can hold two people as long as your hammock is rated for that weight. I love it and enjoyed spending summer evenings laying in my hammock watching kids play or sunsets. I definitely recommend this to anyone considering to purchase.

I got this as a gift for a roommate and she uses it in her bedroom (10 x 11) every day. This definitely fits into a tight space and lets you use a very large hammock. It has adjustable hooks that let you use it for a variety of hammock types/lengths and it breaks down and packs away in a carry bag for travel. This is great for general use, long term use, and car camping or day trips when the weather is nice. I would definitely buy one for myself should I have the need.

Some years ago I purchased a string type, no stretcher, "Mayan" hammock and mounted it on a common hammock stand, a big green thing with pipe sections that slid into one another. Any time I moved the stand the tubes would shift and fall out. The stand was left behind in my last move. This Vivere stand was purchased as a replacement.The box arrived in perfect condition. All the parts were present, there was even an extra knurled screw connector. No tools are needed for assembly. Once assembled, the stand can be moved without any fear of it falling apart. I keep the stand assembled in the garage and shift it easily into and around the yard.My Mayan hammock fit perfectly, once the hooks were positioned correctly on the supporting tubes. The U shaped guides prevent excessive swinging. The compact size of the stand means it will fit where the older stand would not.Although I haven't used it yet, the included carrying bag means the stand and hammock are easily transportable for camping or even just a BBQ at the park. The size might even make it practical to take the hammock to open air, "bring your blanket and lawn chair" concerts.My only warning is be alert not to cross thread the knurled screw connectors.The stand is exactly the right one for me, it fits my hammock and my yard perfectly.
