I bought this stand because of its looks and because I figured it would be perfect for an ENO hammock--which I also bought. It did fit the hammock--of course.The stand itself is sold, stable, easy to assemble, and heavy. I keep it on our deck during the summer. It has an unusual look for such a stand, one that is far more elegant than the others. I cannot say whether overall it is worth the money, but we enjoy the look and have no regrets.Although ENO recommends only a single hammock we use a double on it, and the stand does not seem to mind a couple of folks laying in it at the same time. There is a weight limit, but we are well under it.
