How to fix the "tipping" issue
By tina on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018
Some people say it flips over if you put in too many, but there's an easy way to make that not happen. When you hang this up, remember that the middle "wall hook" (the one that goes in the corner of the two walls) should be muuuuch lower the the outer two! That's it. when it has all the items you want inside the hammock, the middle wall hook should be about the same height as the lowest point of the dip down inside. I had issues, once the hammock was full, with stuffed animals falling out the front as well, until I lowered the back, middle hook like I said. Now if I add a lot of stuffed animals and it seems tippy, that I need to lower the back middle wall hook. It'll look weird and stretched down in the back when empty, so I see why people aren't hanging it that way, but once the stuffed animals are inside, it solves the tipping issue. I have it in the smaller, large size, as opposed to the XL, and I store tons of stuffed animals in one hammock this way

Perfect Hammock to Organize Stuffed Animals and Friends

The hammock toy organizer looks awesome in person :) and very durable. It's super stretchy! I had my husband hold one end and I pulled the other just to see how wide the L version actually was and to imagine how many toys would fit. It was a nice size. I am excited to put it up this weekend in my daughter's bedroom. She has a gazillion stuffed animals and friends and I think this will be the perfect way to lift them from the corner of her room on the floor and up in the air a little. I want to maximize the use of her room a bit. This will allow me to use that space for something else. I might even get the XL version later if I find that this is working well so that I can put them on top of one another since she has so many stuffed animals and friends. The seller has been great as well. The shipment came quickly and I appreciate the emails from the seller about tips and ways to use the product. I am sure the hammock will be perfect in action, but I am going to give an update of how it actually works out after this weekend.
Product as described, verify instructions before installing

UPDATE: While the incorrect instructions I got were a problem, I had to update this based on the rapid replies and unsolicited offers to refund my costs having to fix the problem and offers for a second hammock as a courtesy. I didn't ask for anything and don't need it, but I'm impressed they stand by their product and don't hide behind the suppliers errors. UPDATE: got an email from Miniowls stating that they do not include information on size of hole to drill. I have to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that their supplier is putting in an improper insert. They offered to supply new anchors, but after exchanging an email I think I'll just hit my hardware store and grab a new hook and a wing anchor that fits this hole. Instructions state to drill pilot holes for drywall installation at 5/16. This hole is so large the anchor pulls from it with absolutely no load when installed at 3.3 ft from corner with corner installed 6" lower as instructed. I have since used drywall mud to pack the holes then re - inserted the anchors and screwed in the hooks. Will update in 48 hours once mud has had time to fully cure to see if it will hold.
Best for storage of stuffed animals and not displaying them

This is a great product! I bought the large hammock for approximately 20 medium to small stuffed animals. It came with all the necessary items to hang up the hammock and very clear instructions on how to install it. Tips for other renters: at first we tried command hooks and they kept falling. The stuffed animals were too heavy for the hooks. I did not have a lot of stuffed animals as opposed to others, so if you have more than 10 stuffed animals, I don't think command hooks will work. Although, since I didn't want to make big holes in the walls I put it up with just the hooks given and not the anchors. If you have around 20 stuffed animals like I do and are renting, I think this is a great option. My only cons for this product is that it's best for storage of stuffed animals and not displaying them. I bought it for displaying purposes and because the hammock sinks under the weight of the stuffed animals some are unable to be seen. It is still a very great product and I am so happy I finally have a place to put all of my stuffed animals!
Pretty great for decorating and cleaning up

I'll start with our backstory, we have a 10 month old baby girl, our first so we kinda waste a lot of money on toy and stuffed animals (and I though when my wife got a kitten it was bad). We also have plaster walls so when my wife said she ordered this I was less than thrilled I've had many life altering and traumatic experiences hanging pictures, mirrors etc... All kidding aside though this product is fantastic, comes with plaster/drywall anchors that actually work and are sized correctly for the hooks. I used a 1/4 drill bit and everything went smoothly, took about 5 minutes start to finish. It's also bigger than we expected, it comes about 2 feet out from the corner of the wall and its 55 1/2 inches wide, plenty of room for the ludicrous amount of stuffed toys we now posses. To conclude, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to have a neat way to organize their living space. I'll keep this review updated should anything change (e.x. my family gets crushed to death under all the stuffed animals we managed to pile on to this thing.)

Sock Monkey Holder
By RA - Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2015

I hung this yesterday. My child has collected more sock monkeys than I even thought existed thanks to his aunt. I needed something that would get them out of the toy box and off the floor. So far it hold most of them. There are other stuffed animals thrown in there too. I out it low enough that my 3.5 year old could put away his own animals but high enough that my 18 month old can pull it down. It is a basketball goal basically. :) I had hoped it was a bit bigger as it does not hold ALL the stuffed animals but it does make it manageable. The elastic seems to be sturdy and the hangers are secured with anchors so I don't believe the next is going anywhere. I may buy another one for the other side of the playroom just to have extra storage. I will update after we have had a chance to see its durability of actual use. Update: I purchased another one for my son's bedroom. These are great and sturdy. They hold as ton.

This storage hammock was easy for my husband to install. Even with having to use the molly's for two of the support hooks, it is holding everything nicely. My daughter has a plethora of toys in the hammock and it is holding up like a champ. I am very pleased with the high quality of the netting; it stretches, but the squares are still small enough that little plushies do not fall through. This is not made of cheap, very thin netting that will tear up after a few weeks time. You get what you pay for, and I am happy knowing I paid for a great, quality item that will last. I was very impressed with the contact received from the seller, MiniOwls, Inc. After they shipped the hammock, I was emailed asking if everything was in order and was given an updated set of install instructions to make the process as easy and streamlined as possible. I will definitely look to them for future purchases.
Neat, strong, and looks very nice when hung with the stuffed animals in it.

The material is elastic and stretchy so that is a plus. It was very easy for my husband to install in a corner of the bedroom. The reason I purchased this kind over the other brands is because this one has a stretch to is and I read reviews of others where it doesn't and the customers were disappointed. The quality of the materials are very good, I do not feel that this is cheap and I do not feel like it will break any time soon. It clears an area of stuffed animals and it looks very nice up there as well. Only issue is my daughter can not reach it where we have it so she does not have access to the animals whenever she wants. That doesn't matter anyway to us because she just likes the idea of having all of her stuffed animals, won't let us throw them out, yet she doesn't really play with them either. She is 8. So this allows her to keep them neat and out of the way.
