@boygenius1991 tragically, this hammock does not support 450 pounds or even close to it. I’m well under this weight limit and even with the eyehooks lifting the hammock as high as possible, when attempting to lie in it, my back is scraping the floor and driving the metal bar into my back. do not recommend.
Anyone else get bummed when they buy something on Morning Save and then the next day it pops up on Meh for 20 bucks less? This might be the 2nd time this has happened to me.
99.9999% of the time I come I to the Meh product thread hoping to find useful info but all I find are bad puns that don’t even qualify as dad jokes. But not today, today there are actually lots of helpful posts.
@uscpsycho You’re doing it wrong. 99.9999% of the time I come to the Meh product thread hoping to find bad puns that don’t even qualify as dad jokes. I never leave disappointed.
@Ambiverbal Nope didn’t read the specs that carefully as I don’t have anywhere I can use a hammock unfortunately. Were it wide enough then it would work well for adults instead of just for kids.
This looks pretty much like the Amazon basics stand and hammock that I bought from Amazon earlier this year for $75. It’s been great so far. Highly recommend.
The stand is too wide for my lightweight camping hammock, but the hammock that comes with it is great for backyard use, so the camping one can stay packed away.
You know what. I’m gonna grab a beer and go stare at the stars right now.
I thought the random scalp of red hair hanging out was a little creepy… Then I went through the pics… And the guys head turned to shiny metal. Oh wait that’s a sloth. Either way. Thanks for the nightmares meh
We have a very similar stand (with what looks like the exact same hammock) and they are fantastic! So much so that we bought 2 a while back for closer to $70 each. The stand is easy enough to move by one person if you grab it in the middle on the bottom. If I didn’t have a couple already I’d definitely get one of these!
Well, I received my hammock today. The box is definitely marked “Island” but the included hammock is none of the colors listed on the sale page. Except for one of the preview images… there is a photo of a black, brown, white, and gray striped hammock with a woman sitting in it…That’s the actual color I received.
Anyone else received theirs yet? I did pay for upgraded shipping over my membership free shipping.
Welp, even worse than I thought! Two of the sections of the frame have been damaged. The end of the pipe is flattened / bent inwards enough that it will not allow the smaller diameter tube to be inserted to assemble half of the frame.
What I thought was going to be the least “meh” purchase I’ve made off of this site… Got me!
@dougolas I received mine today. The box was in bad condition and filled with the little caps that go on the end of bolts - which were not necessary. It took a little work figuring it out (instructions useless) but we got it together over lunch break.
@dougolas smilar issue. Completely wrong color like you say.
Box was damaged. Didn’t include any bolts, connectors, etc. The hammock itself also doesn’t include the reinforced metal grip. Just completely horrible. Not what was pictured. Also didn’t inclhded any instructions, pamphlets, etc.
@gc3024 dang at least mine came with the 4 screws and rubber and caps. I didn’t mention in my email to meh, but my order also lacked a metal reinforcement /support ring. Sucks that we all had similar issues
@dougolas I got screws at least too, they were in a cinched closed dark green parachute/nylon drawstring bag for some reason, and there was another plastic bag in the box but nothing in it. Single sheet parts list/example of it fully setup. Clearly was an open box previously judging by the tape and state of the contents. Did have all my caps though too, which was surprising given the gaping hole in the side of the box where one of the feet tubes punched through entirely at some point. No metal support rings either though on the hammock.
@dougolas Oh no! I just submitted a ticket for this same problem. I also didn’t get the extra rainbow hammock I ordered. I’m super bummed. Would definitely have not ordered/paid money for the color I got.
Just got mine today and I LOVE it! The fabric won’t let me see all the creepy crawlies that wander around underneath when I roll onto my stomach, either.
@AuntMean67 if your hammock is outside. Whatever floats your boat. If you have mice getting inside and are touchy feely about it. This is a very effective multi mouse no kill trap.
If you check it every day… And clearly you’d have to do something with them which will probably result in death anyway… tossing them out in the woods is iffy. Feel free to adopt them. If you don’t check it they die after a day or two and the next one tries to eat them. Which is a little icky to clean out. They are pests and plenty of them so.
@unksol I live in the boonies and mice in the house are extremely common. That said, I do befriend some to my spouses lament! I used to be afraid of mice until a couple of years ago when I got up to make a pot of coffee and lo and behold! There’s a big one on the counter ledge holding a mouse trap eating the peanutbutter and seeds attached to it and it never tripped the trap! It looked up at me and stared a minute and then went back to eating. I was amazed and awed. I was so proud of a mouse that had was such a survivor I decided to get a cage and keep it. My husband killed it the next day. But…we still get a lot of mice in the house and I take pleasure sometimes in seeing them now. I just don’t tell my husband when I see one.
@phendrick Because mice are people too and all peoples matter. Can’t starve them. This is a socialist country and it would be against law. All aminals is more important than peoples. Especially baby peoples.
I was so excited when I ordered one of these to surprise my wife with, but then I saw it shipped Pitney Bowes. At least now I know when it arrives in 2021 I’ll have time to save up money for the costly ER visit when it bends and collapses under her until then.
@RiotDemon Maybe but their shipping is seriously screwed up. Ordered something from Morningsave on July 30 which doesn’t even show it was shipped yet and got it today. Also ordered something from Morningsave on July 27th which was in LA on July 30th and also got it today.
@Felton10 Yeah, the tracker on Meh’s site says it arrived at my local USPS facility on Aug 1. The USPS tracker says it’s on its way to said facility (but not received and this isn’t our problem) also on August 1. Woo!
So the first one was a dream to assemble! Set it up and I was in heaven! The second had tubes that barely fit together and the holes for the screws were poorly drilled. Once assembled, though, they are awesome!!!
Pretty happy with this. I was momentarily confused by the instructions’ reference to a non-existent picture, but once I figured out the hooks go on the outside, it was fine. Got the color I asked for too AND a couple of extra bolts.
Oh my, something we actually have been shopping around for! Luckily, late summer/fall are some of the best hammocky weather times here …
/giphy unique-little-argon
Some of my pipes look out of round. They all have weld seams inside. The paint is thicc. Some of it chipped off so I could see how thicc it was. I’ve only been able to join two pieces so far. I’m going to have wire wheel some of the paint off and try again. On the bright side, i was reluctant to buy one of these because i thought it might be too light. This thing is definitely heavy duty.
@robthelen, heavy yes, but not heavy duty. Second time getting out of it and the frame bent. It was fun for the couple of hours we had it, not worth $60.
@doggone Yeah… I set mine up yesterday, all seemed fine, just got in it tonight where I set it up here in the living room… immediately bent. I weigh like 220-225 and was in it by myself.
Mine made it all the way to my town on Wednesday and then decided it wanted to take a tour of Southern California and is currently 125 miles away. I was hoping to try it out this weekend.
Mine hasn’t even been shipped yet, but looks like I’m not missing out. Frustrated because Woot had a similar one on sale a few days later (for a bit more) and now wish I had order that one, but didn’t because I thought I was getting one from Meh.
Completely forgot about this purchase! Mine was “Picked up and Processed by Agent” in my local area one week ago & has just been stuck at that point apparently.
@DemonMF777 Mine FINALLY showed up this weekend. Color seems a bit off & NO metal inserts like some other commenters have mentioned… but at least it actually came!
@Seeds@Bluedragon07 Thanks for posting this. I am apparently bad at following instructions and had the hooks on the inside.
The follow-up thing that helped that seems obvious now but was counterintuitive to me was using the lower holes keeps the hammock higher. I went with 3 down on one side and 2 down on the other.
Got mine, admittedly I haven’t opened the box all the way, possibly there is a second hammock in there, but the one I got is definitely not the “island” color.
@wifeduck Actually mine was supposed to be island as well but I got a different color that’s more brown. Also doesn’t have the metal eyelets that were advertised
@Bluedragon07 didn’t even look at it that close, saw it was brown and walked away. Hubby is happy it’s brown, but not the fun color I was looking for. I guess I will have to get artsy with it.
Got mine today after it toured the whole US. From TX to GA to CA back to TX and finally FL, only to have have my 7yr old asked why I ordered the “poop brown”. I didn’t, I ordered the Island, poop brown wasn’t even an option!
Arrived with box ends ripped open and holes all over it. Carrying case ripped. After less than a day of use the cross sections have both started to rust.
I got poop brown instead of blue. That was unfortunate. I loved it the three times I was able to lie in before the middle bar bent and snapped. Now I’m just happy I didn’t get impales. First Meh purchase I regret making.
Finally… I purchased a full set (hammock and stand) and also just an additional hammock (with no stand).
By tracking date, it all started on July 27. Both items got ‘inducted’ in the Pitney Bowes Network on July 30th.
The full hammock set got here on August 8th.
The 2nd hammock (w/o stand) got here today, August 21.
Bizarre… I’ve been a VMP since October 2016, and this is the worst shipping experience I’ve had… and really only one of the few I’ve had where stuff just seemed to ‘disappear’.
I had already emailed meh support about this, and they said give it another week and then write back for refund… was going to get that refund today… only to be shocked and surprised when I saw the damn hammock was out for delivery today…
Ah well… back to drinking all that wine I’ve been buying on Casemates…
Mine’s apparently made it from Texas to NC and back to Texas. Pitney Bowes needs to reconsider their role as a logistics agent. Maybe one day we’ll get a hammock.
@admiralpoopants@RiotDemon
I contacted support on mine a while ago. They’re response was basically “wait”. I’ve contacted them one more time, then I’ll also be contacting my credit card company.
Something seems to have gone really wrong on this one.
Mine went from Texas to Indiana to New Jersey where it has been sitting idle since August 12th. I’ll give it a few more days before requesting a refund.
It’s now a race to get here between my Meh bag that I ordered on August 19th (that hasn’t shipped yet,) and this hammock I ordered on July 25th. The race is over on the other things I ordered on August 19th. Those things are at my local post office.
The hammock was in my city 18 days ago, but was sent back to Texas. Meh support told me last week not to worry because it’s already on the way to my house. :rolleyes:
I ordered on July 25th and still haven’t received it on August 26th. It bounced back and forth between Texas and California until August 19th when it stopped in California and has supposedly stayed there since. I’ve just emailed and asked for a refund. We’ll see what happens. Totally ridiculous!
Mine arrived yesterday, and the box looked like it had spent the whole shipping time being used as a scratching post in the lion’s den at the zoo. But the contents were all there and in fine shape.
Hey! I got an email that mine was delivered! It’s been a month and a half, but okay, I’ll take it. Wait, where was it delivered? Back to Texas?! Seriously, meh? I mean, I get that your name is literally “Meh”, but seriously not cool on this one.
Small comfort that I’m not the only one, I suppose.
@jlmpst contact support to see if they can get Pitney Bowes to track it down. If you contact the company you will eventually be told they won’t help you, contact the sender.
@daniellemicaela Not everything is sold out - just on pause. It will open up again at 4 eastern. Someone did post that the hammock with stand is sold out though so you’d still be able to get a hammock.
Ours bent and creased along the long bar across the bottom if the holder. If I could figure out how to attach a picture I would. I contacted customer service. The hammock send to be okay, I like that it came with its own pouch. The case for the stand was ripped.
@doggone On a phone to post a photo turn it horizontal. There is a mountain and moon looking icon (next to the one with numbers) click on that and follow the directions.
anyone have any tips on putting this thing together? I was able to fit 2 pieces of the base together but can’t get either upright support to attach despite half a can of wd40 and 220 lbs of elbow grease
I really hope Meh can go back and get their money from whomever they purchased these from so we can get our money back. Seems like a major quality control issue with whomever they wholesaled these from.
@stevenssara58 mine was a bear to put together, but very happy with it. Tons of torque to twist the stands onto the base and most of the paint stripped off, but I’m confident it wont come apart.
@dam091 UPDATE: Support responded to my inquiry and refunded the cost. They said if it eventually arrives, keep it for free. It arrived the next day. So, score, and awesome customer service! Thanks meh! I think I will take some candy corn now!
So… This isn’t coming is it? Been in my hometown on a couple of occasions, but never seems to leave a different facility in a different city. I think I’m about to give up hope on it.
I’ve been issued a refund, either it’s lost or destroyed. How does a company like Meh.com accept this from their shipping company? This is the second and last order from them that has been lost. I can’t continue to shop here.
Mine finally arrived after bouncing around between Texas and California (and I’m so close to Texas, the nearby towns have asked to just be considered Texas). We’ll put it together tomorrow, but we did open it to see how bad the items were - I actually received the color I ordered which was not poop brown, and the frame seems solid. Even the “handles” on the screws look different than the ones in the photo about this. Maybe I lucked out and got a good batch?
Additional experiential dispatches to arrive later!
This… this… this is actually one of the most useful things I think I’ve ever seen here on Meh…
/giphy befuddled
@haydesigner Don’t worry, it will arrive just in time for Halloween.
Giant face masks?
@Bcburk you win best comment!
Oooh, boyfriend is gonna be happy with me. Also the best purchase code thing I’ve gotten:

finally: a hammock that comes with a stand and has a reasonable weight limit. bought without hesitation. it has to cool off eventually
@boygenius1991 tragically, this hammock does not support 450 pounds or even close to it. I’m well under this weight limit and even with the eyehooks lifting the hammock as high as possible, when attempting to lie in it, my back is scraping the floor and driving the metal bar into my back. do not recommend.

@producepimp you buy things from morningsave?
@dam091 oh yes, love MorningSave
99.9999% of the time I come I to the Meh product thread hoping to find useful info but all I find are bad puns that don’t even qualify as dad jokes. But not today, today there are actually lots of helpful posts.

@uscpsycho You’re doing it wrong. 99.9999% of the time I come to the Meh product thread hoping to find bad puns that don’t even qualify as dad jokes. I never leave disappointed.
Who lies in a hammock crossways?
@Ambiverbal Same people that won’t wear face masks.
@Ambiverbal depending on the hammock size it is actually is easier to sleep in one that way as you aren’t lying like a “V”
@Kidsandliz Maybe you didn’t notice this, but “Bed width: 57.0 inches”. 4 ft. 9 in. offers not enough space for the average adult to sleep.
@Ambiverbal Nope didn’t read the specs that carefully as I don’t have anywhere I can use a hammock unfortunately. Were it wide enough then it would work well for adults instead of just for kids.
@Ambiverbal The correct angle is key - how to sleep comfortably in a hammock:
https://www.treklightgear.com/blogs/trek-life/hammock-angle

We have a very similar stand (with what looks like the exact same hammock) and they are fantastic! So much so that we bought 2 a while back for closer to $70 each. The stand is easy enough to move by one person if you grab it in the middle on the bottom. If I didn’t have a couple already I’d definitely get one of these!
@luvche21 You can also buy a set of wheels to put on it and then you just tip it at one end and roll it.
I got one of these (forest) years ago and we still love to use it to this day. I have been waiting for this sale to come again. Hurray!!!
This purchase has been approved by my supervisor and my therapist
Well, I received my hammock today. The box is definitely marked “Island” but the included hammock is none of the colors listed on the sale page.

@dougolas I received mine today. The box was in bad condition and filled with the little caps that go on the end of bolts - which were not necessary. It took a little work figuring it out (instructions useless) but we got it together over lunch break.
@dougolas Same thing here, a brown/gray/white hammock and box is clearly marked Island.
@dougolas smilar issue. Completely wrong color like you say.
Box was damaged. Didn’t include any bolts, connectors, etc. The hammock itself also doesn’t include the reinforced metal grip. Just completely horrible. Not what was pictured. Also didn’t inclhded any instructions, pamphlets, etc.
I emailed Meh by still no reply. Not happy.
@dougolas Same problems for me as described in this thread. Box damaged. Wrong colors. Metal tubing damaged.
@gc3024 dang at least mine came with the 4 screws and rubber and caps. I didn’t mention in my email to meh, but my order also lacked a metal reinforcement /support ring. Sucks that we all had similar issues
@dougolas I got screws at least too, they were in a cinched closed dark green parachute/nylon drawstring bag for some reason, and there was another plastic bag in the box but nothing in it. Single sheet parts list/example of it fully setup. Clearly was an open box previously judging by the tape and state of the contents. Did have all my caps though too, which was surprising given the gaping hole in the side of the box where one of the feet tubes punched through entirely at some point.
No metal support rings either though on the hammock.
Update: Meh confirmed there are no replacements available and they issued a refund. I’m okay with that resolution, but still sad about it.
Guess I’ll stick to power banks and wireless speakers
@dougolas Oh no! I just submitted a ticket for this same problem. I also didn’t get the extra rainbow hammock I ordered. I’m super bummed. Would definitely have not ordered/paid money for the color I got.
Just got mine today and I LOVE it! The fabric won’t let me see all the creepy crawlies that wander around underneath when I roll onto my stomach, either.
I have a hammock stand but the mice eat my hammocks each year. This is a great replacement!
@AuntMean67 Why do you store your hammocks in their kitchen?
@AuntMean67 Try to avoid hammocks made of cheese.
@AuntMean67 if your hammock is outside. Whatever floats your boat. If you have mice getting inside and are touchy feely about it. This is a very effective multi mouse no kill trap.

I already have an eno double hammock that I love but no stand. I wish I could just buy the stand
@teeth12345 Re-sell the hammock on facebook or craigslist
I was so excited when I ordered one of these to surprise my wife with, but then I saw it shipped Pitney Bowes. At least now I know when it arrives in 2021 I’ll have time to save up money for the costly ER visit when it bends and collapses under her until then.
@aardWolf Same. It literally has been sitting in Texas for over a week.
@aardWolf @murixbob Mine was shipped to my city in Maryland, then the California. Then back to Maryland. Now in Pitney Bowes in New Jersey…
@aztga @murixbob Mine has been in a warehouse five minutes from my house for the past 5 days.
Mine was “Inducted into Pitney Bowes Network” on July 30th never to be seen again.
@Felton10 it’s only 5 days. Not that long… yet.
@RiotDemon Maybe but their shipping is seriously screwed up. Ordered something from Morningsave on July 30 which doesn’t even show it was shipped yet and got it today. Also ordered something from Morningsave on July 27th which was in LA on July 30th and also got it today.

I’m going to have wire wheel some of the paint off and try again. On the bright side, i was reluctant to buy one of these because i thought it might be too light. This thing is definitely heavy duty.
@robthelen, heavy yes, but not heavy duty. Second time getting out of it and the frame bent. It was fun for the couple of hours we had it, not worth $60.
I put a decent dent in one of the tubes with a dead blow. LOL.
@doggone Yeah… I set mine up yesterday, all seemed fine, just got in it tonight where I set it up here in the living room… immediately bent. I weigh like 220-225 and was in it by myself.

Got mine in and tried it out tonight. Sits way lower to the ground than I imagined but no issues. Super comfortable and easy to set up.
@Bluedragon07 did you put the hooks on the inside or outside of the stand?
@Seeds Outside, like on the pictures.
@Bluedragon07 I’ve got nothing then
@Seeds @Bluedragon07 Thanks for posting this. I am apparently bad at following instructions and had the hooks on the inside.
The follow-up thing that helped that seems obvious now but was counterintuitive to me was using the lower holes keeps the hammock higher. I went with 3 down on one side and 2 down on the other.
@Bluedragon07 @dave glad it helped! I asked because we put the hooks on the inside the first time too
@dave @Seeds Yours can get to the lower holes? Mine seems to be unable to stretch that far.
@Bluedragon07 @dave ours we had to walk down- first the top holes, lie in, let stretch, move down a hole, repeat
Got mine, admittedly I haven’t opened the box all the way, possibly there is a second hammock in there, but the one I got is definitely not the “island” color.
@wifeduck Actually mine was supposed to be island as well but I got a different color that’s more brown. Also doesn’t have the metal eyelets that were advertised

I had already emailed meh support about this, and they said give it another week and then write back for refund… was going to get that refund today… only to be shocked and surprised when I saw the damn hammock was out for delivery today…
Ah well… back to drinking all that wine I’ve been buying on Casemates…
Mine’s apparently made it from Texas to NC and back to Texas. Pitney Bowes needs to reconsider their role as a logistics agent. Maybe one day we’ll get a hammock.
First Meh purchase. I’m underwhelmed.
Still haven’t received mine
Mine is still in Indiana as of the 10th. Giving it til the 25th then I’m going to contact my credit card company
@admiralpoopants if you contact support, they’ll get you taken care of. You don’t have to go straight to the credit card company.
@admiralpoopants @RiotDemon
I contacted support on mine a while ago. They’re response was basically “wait”. I’ve contacted them one more time, then I’ll also be contacting my credit card company.
Something seems to have gone really wrong on this one.
Mine went from Texas to Indiana to New Jersey where it has been sitting idle since August 12th. I’ll give it a few more days before requesting a refund.
It’s now a race to get here between my Meh bag that I ordered on August 19th (that hasn’t shipped yet,) and this hammock I ordered on July 25th. The race is over on the other things I ordered on August 19th. Those things are at my local post office.
The hammock was in my city 18 days ago, but was sent back to Texas. Meh support told me last week not to worry because it’s already on the way to my house. :rolleyes:
I ordered on July 25th and still haven’t received it on August 26th. It bounced back and forth between Texas and California until August 19th when it stopped in California and has supposedly stayed there since. I’ve just emailed and asked for a refund. We’ll see what happens. Totally ridiculous!
My stand just collapsed; the bottom brace just folded in half after I tightened the hammock a bit to adjust for the fabric stretching out.
@spacecow i guess I’m lucky I got a refund
@spacecow Mine bent in the same spot. Lucky I got a refund as well.
Mine arrived yesterday, and the box looked like it had spent the whole shipping time being used as a scratching post in the lion’s den at the zoo. But the contents were all there and in fine shape.
Hey! I got an email that mine was delivered! It’s been a month and a half, but okay, I’ll take it. Wait, where was it delivered? Back to Texas?! Seriously, meh? I mean, I get that your name is literally “Meh”, but seriously not cool on this one.
Small comfort that I’m not the only one, I suppose.
@jlmpst contact support to see if they can get Pitney Bowes to track it down. If you contact the company you will eventually be told they won’t help you, contact the sender.
Well, it had a good run
@Seeds
Someone steal it?
@chienfou the arm on the right didn’t start at that angle

They are all out
@daniellemicaela Not everything is sold out - just on pause. It will open up again at 4 eastern. Someone did post that the hammock with stand is sold out though so you’d still be able to get a hammock.
@daniellemicaela @Kidsandliz only VMPs.
@daniellemicaela @RiotDemon Ahh I didn’t read the fine print. Sorry about that. (And thanks for correcting me).
…any chance there’s a stash for the VMPs at 4PM?
I’m curious about this as well
@n8felton if you are VMP, you should be able to tell from the front page. Take a look.
No guarantees if it’s the whole set or just the hammock.
Did you guys only have 12 of these
@sarahtarah
@RiotDemon I bought zero bc they sold out.
@sarahtarah sorry. You should of been here earlier.
I want the rainbow with stand please
@gigi11 sold out.
In for two of them, fiancee and I were talking about getting some to take to the beach or camping.
Oh look, one left! I’ll bite.

Ours bent and creased along the long bar across the bottom if the holder. If I could figure out how to attach a picture I would. I contacted customer service. The hammock send to be okay, I like that it came with its own pouch. The case for the stand was ripped.
@doggone On a phone to post a photo turn it horizontal. There is a mountain and moon looking icon (next to the one with numbers) click on that and follow the directions.
anyone have any tips on putting this thing together? I was able to fit 2 pieces of the base together but can’t get either upright support to attach despite half a can of wd40 and 220 lbs of elbow grease
Good thing I missed out on this! I would have definitely bought it!
@ELUNO (even more today, National Lazy Day)
Received my hammock with no carry bag nor the stand. Ummmm can I get the stand please. I have NO trees to tie this too bro.
@WonderWoman1977 go to meh.com/orders, find this order, and click “I need help with this”
I really hope Meh can go back and get their money from whomever they purchased these from so we can get our money back. Seems like a major quality control issue with whomever they wholesaled these from.
I didn’t even order one of these buy I’d love to hear an update from the buyer.
*but
I need to have one or two pipes reamed so they will slide together so that’s where I am currently. No stand yet.
@stevenssara58 mine was a bear to put together, but very happy with it. Tons of torque to twist the stands onto the base and most of the paint stripped off, but I’m confident it wont come apart.
Mine was in Orlando (where I live) on August 7, then got shipped to Texas on the 10th, where it apparently disappeared off the face of the earth.
@dam091 UPDATE: Support responded to my inquiry and refunded the cost. They said if it eventually arrives, keep it for free. It arrived the next day. So, score, and awesome customer service! Thanks meh! I think I will take some candy corn now!
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
So… This isn’t coming is it? Been in my hometown on a couple of occasions, but never seems to leave a different facility in a different city. I think I’m about to give up hope on it.
I’ve been issued a refund, either it’s lost or destroyed. How does a company like Meh.com accept this from their shipping company? This is the second and last order from them that has been lost. I can’t continue to shop here.
Mine finally arrived after bouncing around between Texas and California (and I’m so close to Texas, the nearby towns have asked to just be considered Texas). We’ll put it together tomorrow, but we did open it to see how bad the items were - I actually received the color I ordered which was not poop brown, and the frame seems solid. Even the “handles” on the screws look different than the ones in the photo about this. Maybe I lucked out and got a good batch?
Additional experiential dispatches to arrive later!
Still waiting on my delivery. Says it’s been sitting in Greenwood, Indiana since July 31st…
@schwenke contact support
I never received this product. I was really looking forward to reviewing it.
