We got a stand to hang the hammock chair from and even on the highest setting, when sitting in the chair, our bums are only an inch or two off the ground. Overall, though, it’s a great deal for the price.
I had a baby earlier this year and we use the blanket at the park to practice crawling and sitting while watching other kids on the playground. The blanket itself is soft and not scratchy at all, and I greatly appreciate the plastic underneath. We'll be using it for a long time

And they are cozy and fun to sit in. The included hanging kit provided everything we needed to hang them. So glad we bough these chairs.

I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a stylish and practical option for enjoying their favorite wine.
