I agree with previous opinions – the hammock is too small for an adult to sleep in comfortably. It's difficult to stretch out in it and the edges press on your shoulders. Lying diagonally is not an option. It's fine for sitting or lying with your legs bent. The advantage is that it's lightweight, handy and discreet outdoors, and doesn't restrict your view. The downside is that the attaching ropes are too short and need to be replaced.
