This hammock is a great solution for storing stuffed animals. My daughter's room looks a lot tidier with all of them in the corner, in one location. The net itself is well-made and doesn't sag too much. The only issue some might have is with the plastic wall anchors used to secure the hooks inside the wall if there isn't a stud (which is mostly the case since you're putting it in the corner). The anchors require drilling a 5/16" hole in your drywall (in my case, drywall on one side and wood paneling and drywall on the other). If you're prepared to put holes this large in your walls, then this should be a great product.
It might take a bit of elbow grease to push the anchors into the wall, as they have to fit tightly into the hole. They might have to be gently tapped in because if you hit them too hard the plastic can break off behind the wall if you're not careful. This is why metal anchors might be better, but then they would be more noticeable, too. Also, I saw a couple of reviews mentioned the size of the hooks that come with the hammock--just know that this net is designed to support up to 30 lbs. of stuffed toys, thus the large hooks. As another reviewer suggested, if you don't anticipate storing this much, you can always buy smaller ones at the hardware store.
