VivereUHS9 Universal Space-Saving Steel Hammock Stand, 9-Feet, Charcoal

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!

I prefer to use hooks for indoor hammocks but I was staying at a friend's house, so I looked at all the possible frames on the internet. This is 9 ft long, most are 12-14 ft and can only go outside. This comes in a carrying pack, and while it's not light to carry around, it is easy to break down and move when necessary. Easy to put together as well and holds a hammock as well as any two trees could do. I have it in my bedroom, which is a tight fit, but it's wonderful to be able to rock in a hammock in air conditioning, without bugs bothering you, reading or using the laptop, or just napping. Be patient when you put it together the first time--it requires some finessing to get right because it's steel and it's strong. Very great idea.

The last tropical storms to roll through Florida damaged the trees in my backyard, forcing me to have them removed. One thing that my family has missed is our hammock, which had be strung up between our trees, providing us with a shaded, cool place to relax.We no longer have the trees, and our hammock has been stored in the garage gathering dust. I purchased the Vivere hammock stand as a way to get back to those times. I was looking for a hammock stand that could be constructed when needed and taken down if we needed more space on our back patio. Based on the past reviews for this product on this site, I decided to go ahead and make the purchase.The hammock stand arrived per the shipping delivery schedule, right on time. Initial construction was a snap, extremely straightforward and easy. I would say it took me about 15 minutes to put the stand together the first time. The Vivere hammock stand is made of sturdy material and felt `solid' when put together, this was important to me as I did not want that feeling of a rickety, poorly constructed stand when swinging in the hammock. Unfortunately for me, my old rope two-person hammock didn't fit that well into the stand. It was serviceable, but dragged almost to the floor. I did end up purchasing a single cotton hammock that works perfectly. With the weight limit on the Vivere hammock stand being at 250 lbs, it would be hard for both my wife and it to share the hammock anyway.The ease of constructing the stand and the included bag makes it a great addition for our trips to the beach. We store the hammock in the Vivere hammock bag and take everything with us in the car, where we ( well, mostly my wife ) can be found swinging in the hammock under the coconut trees by the beach shore.Overall, an excellent purchase that I would recommend to others

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.

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.

Excellent product for smaller hammocks.If you have a good quality true queen hammock these are a tad short in length. they work, but the hammock material ends up right up in the stirrup which means you cannot use the cords to stretch out your hammock width properly.A simple fox to this would be if the company made the horizontal floor tube adjustable .But this is still a great stand !

The stand is fairly easy to assemble, sturdy and would be quite portable, although ours is just being used in one place. I did find it took some elbow grease to get the stem ends to slide fully into the tube ends of the base, but nothing serious. Since the hooks are adjustable for different positions on the stem, the stand can accommodate different sizes of hammocks which is a nice feature. We have found that what is described as a 9 foot hammock can vary widely depending on how stretchy the hammock material is so some adjustment is a very good thing.

This has been a really great purchase - it took us under 10 minutes to put together and is perfect even for an apartment balcony. It is also portable, with a bag included which makes it easy to bring camping or to a friends. It also has an adjustment, so even if you had a bigger hammock than 9 ft, you still might be able to use this stand for it. We really enjoy our hammock stand!

So far so good. I haven't had it for long so I can't really say for sure whether it is durable or not. It wasn't hard to put together (I did it in the dark, at night).I have a hammock that was hand made in Bolivia and this works really well because I was able to adjust it.I live in an apartment and have a balcony where I will be using this. If you have a small balcony, I wouldn't buy this stand but mine is big enough that this fits just fine.I'm excited to use my hammock for the rest of the summer!

Very easy to assemble and sturdy! I take the side bars apart every day and put it in the shed so the weather doesn’t damage it and it’s a breeze. It holds my 9ft hammock perfectly and it has many adjustment choices.
