Takes some getting used but we had a lot of fun the first time trying. Swing is very sturdy - hung in our bedroom in the studs near the AC vent. Had to get longer chain as what came with was not nearly long enough. I am 5'2" 153 lbs, hubby is 5'6" 200. We each spent time in the swing and felt very secure. Nice to be able to adjust height of each of the straps individually and was able to sit spread eagle so hubby had a nice view of the goods while sitting on the floor. You have to be a bit adventurous, but it will get more comfy and easier to get in and out the more we use it. Glad we bought this and look forward to many more sexy nights ahead.
