QUANFENG QF Hanging Hammock Chair Patio Indoor and Outdoor Hammock Swing Support 330 lbs (White)

We hung this up last week and I hardly got to use it. My nieces are in love with this hammock. My brother in law assembled it, and now it's the o my thing in the living room everyone wants to sit on. It's very strong, despite me thinking I was going to fall. It comes with two small pillows which we don't care for. After a long day out this is what you need to unwind with some wine. I received this product for free as part of the Walmart spark reviewer program.

I've been holding off on this review, because I really do like the hammock, but the hanging of it has been tough - trying to come up with an easy way to hang it without the straps successfully - read on to hear why. First of all, this hammock is very pretty, with the red main color and multi-color stripes. The hardware seems very sturdy and the included straps are thick nylon. It's large enough for a good-sized adult to sit in it. It comes with: - Hammock - 2 little pillows - 2 hooks that go from the hammock to the straps - 2 looped-end straps with d-rings to hang from a beam What it does not come with, and really should: INSTRUCTIONS! So at first I was super excited to think that I would be able to hang the hammock from my porch beam without any extra hardware, after watching a YouTube video on how to hang a hammock chair (remember, there are no instructions in the package). Just throw the straps over the beam, run the d-ring ends through the looped ends, hook the s-hooks into the d-ring and the hammock loop and voila! A nice hammock to sit and enjoy the weather. That all worked out fairly well, EXCEPT the straps are too long, or my porch roof is too low, because the hammock was hanging an inch above the ground. When I sat in it, it was ON the ground. Even when we moved the straps all the way to each side, it wasn't high enough to sit in and be suspended above the ground. So, I thought that either I'll have to find a beam (or two tree branches) that's longer than 10', or a porch roof higher than 8', or hang it directly from the beam using bolts, leaving aside the straps. Using bolts, I would have to go to the hardware store and buy heavy-duty turnbuckle or long eye bolts and nuts, as well as drill through the porch beam. That is a lot of work, but it would then be very sturdy. But then, I realized that I could just loop the straps around and around the beam to shorten them. It worked perfectly, and I was able to get them short enough to hold the hammock off the ground. This is where instructions would come in very handy, because I just didn't immediately think about looping the straps over the beam to shorten, and people might just think it won't work and return it. It's nice to be able to hang a hammock without drills, extra bolts or anchors. The main thing that is needed here is instructions in the packaging.
