I'll admit, this is our second swing stand. The first was purchased about 6 years ago, and was perfect for our old space, but when we moved we chose to sell it (hello eBay!) and do without the swing for the foreseeable future. Well, the lack of a mounting point for the sex swing finally gave way about a month ago for a replacement, and fortunately the Fetish Fantasy Series swing stand was on sale! After a few days, a GIANT box arrive by UPS on the doorstep. When it arrived, it was covered in a heavily worn, slightly damaged cardboard box, which bears no markings or indication of the contents. Once removed, this plain cardboard box reveals the very colorful (and suggestive) full color packaging that Fetish Fantasy products usually bring.

Initially, I noticed that this swing is both larger (a much larger footprint that our previous stand), and much more stout. There's now more than enough space to swing freely, in complete circles, and still have room for your partner to maneuver around you. This is important, because previously we had minor issues with only being able to stand on two of the four sides due to space. With this improvement, I'd say that this stand now allows more freedom to move your partner around with easy (and very fun) access, and it allows us not to have to constantly change angles or places in order to take advantage of the swing-loaded partner (which IS the whole point of having and using a swing).

Overall, this stand is clearly built to take a beating. The pieces fit together well, the tubing is stout and ready to hold nearly anyone's weight (and the constant motion that goes with being in the swing), and the fastening bolts that hold the pieces together will stay in place. Assembly is not entirely quick, but you can have it together or apart in well under 10 minutes. Most of the assembly and disassemble process is focused on holding the pieces together at the right angles, and without one side attached. With two people the process goes very quickly.

There's even more versatility with the loops on two opposing corners, too, if you want to tie your partner up. They work well with nearly any type of restraints, such as ropes or clips.

This is a great piece when you have any kind of swing. For us, it also doubles as a heavy bag stand (though I'm not sure it's designed for that, but works well so far). Ideal if you don't have a heavy rafter to permanently attach an eye bolt to.

The one thing I'd like is if there were a case, like a canvas bag, designed for the broken down stand pieces. I bought a musicians case for stands, but it's not quite the right size because of the top curved pieces.
