So for the most part, we love our 6-person hammock. It's fairly easy to set up, once you figure out how high to set the straps (for me at 240lbs and my 125lb wife and 120lb daughter we set them at about 8'. We then needed a step-stool to get on) and the hammock would sag down to about 3', even with the ratchet straps as tight as I could get them. Unfortunately, there is no way we could sleep overnight w/o us all ending up bunched up in a pile in the middle...unless I got off. Too much sag. It is fun to hang out on and a few kids might be able to sleep overnight on it but I seriously doubt 3, let alone 6, adults could sleep overnight on it. It just isn't taught enough. ***One word of caution: MAKE SURE THE RATCHET HANDLES ARE FULLY CLOSED AND THE LOCK TABS ARE ENGAGED!!!!! I failed to do this on one ratchet and when I got on with my wife, the strain on the ratchet barrel was able to rotate the barrel, the "not-locked" spring-loaded stop bar tabs were pushed off of the barrel notches and we both came crashing to the ground. Good thing we were over forest duff vs concrete but we both landed on our backs and hit the back of our heads and were damn near knocked out. My fault. Been using ratchet straps my whole life. I knew better but got complacent. #PersonalResponsibility
