I didnt have that exact hammock but it was very very similar maybe same company. It lasted me over 2 years and I still have it just upgraded to a better hammock. I would say that it would say that this would be a good starter hammock. How tall are you? Most people and myself prefer an 11 foot hammock because you can get a better lay. But again i think this would be a great starter hammock to see if you like hammocking. Now you'll need to get a tarp and an under quilt!

it's only 9' long. 10' or 11' hammocks are much more comfortable for a taller person
To test and see if you really like hammocking I think you have a great start. I would suggest attaching a adjustable structural ridgeline to it so you can get a nice diagonal lay. I used a pad when i first started and never failed me. It can be hard to keep it from sliding and under you. Many people have attached silicon to the bottom of the pad in order to keep it from sliding. But happy hanging!!!
