anymaka Set Up in 3 Seconds Adjustable Portable Aluminum Alloy Hammock Stand for Outside with Chair Mode & Lounge Mode up to 105'' (Full Pack Blue-2)

My kids always wanted a hammock but we don't have trees close to each other in our backyard where we can hang one and I didn't want to get a bulky standalone metal hammock stand that we don't have a place to store away during winter but this portable and foldable hammock stand is truly a game changer! My kids are loving it and fighting over this now and I know they will even fight over it more during the summer next year! It was super well packaged and inside the box was a super sturdy storage bag with carrying handle as well as shoulder strap. It's easy to carry but it's not super lightweight storage bag either because the aluminum frames are super heavy duty. I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was to open it up and setup the hammock. It literally took less than a minute to open and set it up once we got familiar with the setup. Oh, and the setup instructions are attached inside the storage bag with illustration, which is very handy. I love how it also incudes the shade and a cup holder, which is perfect during the summer when using it under the sun. The hammock itself is folded inside a pouch, which is attached to the hammock so you will never misplace it. They really thought of everything when designing this amazing portable hammock. I'm 5'11" tall and I was very comfortable inside the hammock as it wrapped my body around with plenty of space around my arms and legs. I'm planning to use it on our backyard for my kids but I can't wait until I take this out to a local park or even a beach during the summer next year, which I'm sure will get plenty of attention from other people. Love it!

Fast and easy to setup. Super comfortable, great for camping or lounging in the back yard. Everything came in separate bags with easy instructions to follow to setup. Also light weight, so easy to move. Pretty happy with the purchase

I love this thing, but it has a moderately dangerous problem. Swinging in it, even slightly, over a period of an hour or so, can work the latch bolt loose causing one of the main arms to drop to the ground. This effectively drops the occupant onto the spine of the support stand, and then they have to roll off of it to the ground. When this happened to me the first time I had considered it a fluke, maybe I had not latched it properly or something. I started paying a lot more attention. Today it happened again to my nephew. I had set it up for him and was very particular about ensuring everything was latched properly. There wasn't a serious injury in either case, but it did hurt. And I'm finding it harder to trust that it will hold consistently over prolonged use and find myself checking the latches regularly to ensure they aren't backing out slowly. I've not read about this happening to anyone else so maybe it's a flaw in mine in particular? Other than that it's been great. I love having it to lounge in and even packed it with me for a trip to Hawaii for family vacation. I bought the full tent kit off their website too as I like the idea of leaving it deployed even when it rains and also having a bug shield. The bug net would not help with the rain so I didn't go that route opting for the full tent instead. The tent also does better for shielding from direct sunlight than the canopy does on its own. If not for the latch issue this would be an easy five stars for me.

I'm a hammock camping fanatic living near a large forest in North America, but I moved into a neighborhood with no trees. It's been a struggle for me to find a solution to meet my key hammocking requirements, which are 1) Portable, 2) Easy to assemble, 3) Sturdy and freestanding. I've picked up a few hard-earned lessons during this process of finding a solution. First off, most foldable hammock stands are way smaller than they look, practically only useful as a chair. Second, those stands where you have to connect metal tubes are much trickier to set up than you’d think. ANYMAKA's hammock stand, though not perfect, checks off those boxes. First of all, they advertise a 3 seconds setup time, but once you add in the time it takes to hang the hammock and pull everything out of the bag, it's not. But it’s still way more convenient than most of the other stands out there. The storage size is also well thought out—about 40" long, and it just fits in my sedan. When it's fully set up in lounge mode, it's around 100+" wide, which works for me(I'm 6'1'') and I can get a flat lay if lying diagonally. So far, I'm happy with this hammock stand that I can take everywhere. I will keep testing it to see if it’s durable enough in the long run. If you’re thinking about buying a hammock stand, and you’re mostly car camping or just want a spot to chill in your backyard every now and then, and you got some extra cash to spend, this is probably your best option on the market.

have one of those big, bulky hammock stands in my backyard, but it pretty much stayed in my backyard because it was such a pain to move. It was sturdy, but if I ever wanted to take it anywhere, forget about it. So, I decided to try my hand at DIYing something more portable and lightweight. I built a few stands with pipes, tubes, and even wood, but none of them really worked out. Either they weren't sturdy enough to support my weight (I’m 6’3” and 215 lbs), or they were technically stable but still a hassle to set up, often requiring another person's help. I first noticed the anymaka hammock stand on Kickstarter and just recently decided to add it to my collection. The whole ‘sets up in 3 seconds and folds down compactly’ thing is brilliant. I have tried anymaka in my backyard yesterday, and so far, it’s pretty good - very quick to set up the stand and hang the hammock. I'm not a big fan of their canopy, not as easy as other components. The packed bag fits my car, so I'll be taking it camping next week. I usually prefer to hang with my feet in the air instead of fully wrapping myself, so the width is okay for me. When I pull my feet in, it can feel a little bit uncomfortable, but it’s still much better compared to other wobbling stands I’ve tried.
