Y- STOP Hammock Chair Hanging Rope Swing Chair, Max 500 Lbs, 2 Seat Cushions Included, Removable Steel Spreader Bar with Anti-Slip Rings, Hardware kit-for Indoor Outdoor (Dark Grey)
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
This Y-STOP Hammock Chair review covers a hanging rope swing chair with a removable steel spreader bar, two seat cushions, and a listed maximum weight of 500 pounds. Unlike a two-person hammock on a stand, this product hangs from a single overhead point and is meant to be used as a chair or a lounger for one person. The listing describes a dark grey finish, a product size of about 53 by 38 inches, and a hardware kit for indoor and outdoor use. This page goes through what the listing says, what it leaves open, and what to check before hanging it.
Quick answer
- The listing gives a 500 lb maximum weight recommendation and describes a removable steel spreader bar with anti-slip rings.
- The listing includes two seat cushions and a side pocket, and describes the chair as large enough to lie back in.
- The listing names the material as stainless steel while the bullets describe a soft polyester and cotton seat. Both can be true for different parts, but the listing does not say which part is which.
- The hardware kit is listed separately from the chair in the frequently bought together block, so check whether a ceiling hook or a support is included before buying.
How we chose the sources
This review uses only the listing fields and two CPSC recall notices. The listing fields were read from the product page in a read-only session on 2026-10-27. The recall notices were opened the same day. No product was used for this review, and no measurements were taken.
What the listing says
The listing names the brand as Y-STOP and the color as B-dark Grey. The material field reads stainless steel, the product dimensions are listed as 53 inches long by 38 inches wide, and the maximum weight recommendation is 500 pounds. The title also names two seat cushions included and a removable steel spreader bar with anti-slip rings.
The bullet points describe the chair as big enough to lie down in, rather than only to sit upright. They describe a soft polyester and cotton seat that is said not to tear easily and to have no smell. The listing mentions a side pocket for a phone, a book, a tablet, or a drink, and says the chair suits bedrooms, balconies, courtyards, and gardens.
The spreader bar is described as sturdy, with anti-slip grooves on both sides to keep the rope from sliding. The listing gives a maximum weight of up to 500 lbs. The safety text on the page is shorter than on a hammock listing, and it does not give a separate warning block. A buyer should read the assembly and safety sheet in the box before hanging the chair.
The listing also includes a product description that calls the chair a relaxing option for living rooms, bedrooms, seaside areas, and poolsides. Those are use cases described by the seller, not performance measurements. The listing does not state a weather rating or a fabric warranty length in the parts reviewed here.
Hanging and anchoring
A hanging chair depends on its overhead support. The listing does not include a ceiling hook, a tree strap, or a beam mount in the parts reviewed for this page. The frequently bought together block shows a separate hanging hardware kit sold by a different seller. Before ordering, a buyer should confirm whether a hook, straps, or a carabiner are part of the set, and whether the hook rating matches the 500 lb figure.
For an indoor install, the support should be a solid structure, such as a ceiling joist or a rated beam, rather than drywall. For an outdoor install, a sturdy tree, a rated post, or a frame built for swing loads is the safer option. A buyer should not hang the chair from a tree that is dead, leaning, or split, and should keep the hanging point well clear of branches that could fall.
Before each use, check the rope or cord, the spreader bar ends, and the carabiners or hooks. Look for fraying, bent metal, and any gap where the bar meets the rope. The anti-slip grooves are described as a way to keep the rope in place, so a worn groove or a loose ring is worth fixing before anyone sits in the chair.
Weight capacity and safety
The 500 lb figure is the maximum weight recommendation in the listing. It describes the chair and its spreader bar, but it does not state whether the hanging hardware is rated to the same load. The weakest link decides the real limit, so a buyer should check the rating of every hook, strap, and carabiner used with the chair, not only the chair itself.
The two CPSC recall notices reviewed for this page are about hammock stands from other companies. One describes foot brackets that could crack and let a stand collapse, which the agency called a fall hazard. The other describes outdoor wooden stands that could deteriorate and break. Neither describes a hanging rope chair, a spreader bar, or a stainless steel fitting. They are included because they are the only government safety notices found for hammock support hardware, and they show that support failure is a real category of hazard for hammock products.
The listing does not say whether the chair is suitable for children or for people who weigh close to the limit. A parent who plans to use it with a child should supervise closely, and should check that the seat stays level and the spreader bar does not tilt when someone climbs in or out.
Who this suits
The listing points to a buyer who wants a single-person hanging chair for a bedroom, a porch, a balcony, or a yard, and who has a suitable overhead support. The side pocket and the lie-down size are the features the listing emphasizes most. The two cushions give some padding, and the chair can be used indoors or outdoors according to the listing.
It may not suit a buyer who has no solid overhead point or who lacks a way to hang a rated hook. It may also be a poor fit for a very small room with no clearance around the chair, because a swinging seat needs space to move. A buyer who wants a two-person hammock with a freestanding frame should look at a different style.
The listing does not give a warranty length in the parts reviewed for this page. Buyers who want that detail should check the warranty section of the listing before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the weight limit?
The listing gives a maximum weight recommendation of 500 pounds. Check the rating of every hook and strap used with the chair, because the weakest part sets the real limit.
Are the cushions included?
The listing says two seat cushions are included in the title.
Is the hanging hardware included?
The listing does not clearly state this in the parts reviewed. A hardware kit is shown as a separate item in the frequently bought together block, so confirm before buying.
What we could not verify
The listing makes claims about comfort, cushion quality, and weight capacity. This review cannot confirm those claims from the sources checked. The two CPSC notices concern other products, so they do not confirm or contradict anything specific about this chair. A shopper should read the listing as a set of seller claims until an independent test or a named standard backs them up.
What the sources do not say
The two CPSC recall notices do not describe hanging rope chairs, spreader bars, cushions, or stainless steel fittings. They do not give a test method for the 500 lb rating. They do not address how the hanging hardware is rated, how the chair behaves over several seasons outdoors, or how the fabric holds up to sun and rain.
The sources also do not say whether the chair is safe for a particular body weight or height, or how far above the ground it should hang. Those measurements should come from the manufacturer’s instructions, not from this review.
Shoppers who need a firm answer on any of these points should contact the seller before buying. The current listing is here: View on Amazon. For related seating and lounging ideas, see the guide to folding outdoor chairs with arms and the guide on making outdoor furniture last longer.
