anymaka Fast Set-up in 3 Seconds Adjustable Portable Aluminum Alloy Hammock Stand for Outside with Chair Mode & Lounge Mode up to 105'' - 550 LBS Capacity - Compact & Portable & Stable on Any Terrain

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.

It was difficult to discern how heavy the bag was from the ads as I was worried about the weight. Rest assured, my 5 yr old daughter can carry the bag with everything the Full Pack came with. Once you get the hang of it, the hammock stand can be set up in 1-2 secs, time challenges with the kids. We were hoping to set this up outdoors when the weather played nice, but the family was too excited and decided to just set it up in the living room. Instructions were sewn on the bags. It had room for Me, My 5 and 10 yo daughters, and even our 20lb dog. Only gripe was the cup holder since I gotta have my coffee and my large mug barely fits inside, but any standard mug should fit. The phone holder however should be large enough to fit most phones! For the first few days of owning it, I commend the quality, sturdiness and comfort. I'm hoping for the netting to be in stock soon to complete the setup. With this hammock on hand, Here's to more enjoyable Family Camping, Picnic and Beach Days!

Super disappointed... I planned for this purchase for a while and it did not function well enough to keep. Feet way up in the air even at looser settings. Tightest setting very hard to get on and my body rested on the bar. Returning... It was easy to set up and take down.

Pros: Very quick and easy to set up and to take down and repack. I am almost 70 and not a big guy, but to me it is still not overly difficult to pick up and move around even with my hammock already on it. The customer service department was very prompt about answering my emailed questions before I decided to buy it.Cons: You need a closed end hammock with a diagonal lay to avoid your bottom from bumping into the frame while you are lying in it. I was able to get a spread bar hammock to work, but it took a great deal of extra finagling to do so every time I wanted to use it. That took away from the overall fast setup and convenience factor that this stand offers.Suggestion to Anywaka: The stand’s ridge line distance is 105 inches. It really needs to be an extra six inches to a foot wider on each side to accommodate more types of hammocks.

(-) it’s expensive, I can slightly rub the frame when in hammock mode if I don’t hang diagonally, it’s cumbersome to carry, it won’t work with any of my ENO hammocks; only the Anymaka hummock, nobody’s camping with it. (+) it is still more comfortable than most chairs, it can be thrown in the car for park, hotel, etc., it looks pretty cool, decent quality, comfortable to sit in and watch TV poolside. I’ll keep it.

Excellent product-easy up and easy down- a little bulky but extremely well made and I can handle it-been camping all over Texas with it

What a useless piece of garbage. After spending 30 min. getting it out of the bag without cutting the shoulder strap which cannot be separated, I erected a hammock stand for a child. My adult sized hammock was literally on the ground when attached to this heavy piece of junk. Great camping gear for very strong dwarfs but not for me
