The stand appears very sturdy and I was able to put this together in less than 10 minutes. The legs are longer and come in my way of getting onto the hammock. Like few reviewers said, a fall could cause serious injury not from from above, but the sharp legs could seriously hurt anyone. I don't know why the designers did not consider a round base cover made of two half round shaped sturdy PVC pieces that can be easily snapped together on top of these metal legs - similar to most pedestal fans. The round base cover could use some shock absorbing material underneath, should anyone fall from the hammock chair on it and dampen the impact. It is an easy / cheap fix, but could save lives.
