Welcome to HF and Good Luck!
From first glance I see a couple bumps in the road. First could be price points. High quality China all good and well, but with fire sales on e-bay and amazon, and even REI pricing on close outs and such submarining you at 19.99 per unit.
Second substandard and overpriced(for what you get)suspension.
To get around both, you might want to learn to make straps and splice whoopie slings and provide, pretty much the highest quality suspension out there atm, with these hammocks.
It would be the perfect way to highlight the higher level of quality and craftsmanship, you're selling the hammock under.
Doing so would also allow you to lower total cost, and provide an even better product, giving the rest of the Big Box Import outlets, at least a shake of your tail. It's still going to be extremely hard to run on the heels of that type of competition. For now, I'd focus on the campus dorm niche. Offering better kits for less, and while still increasing your rental profits.
Be sure you can't be held liable for structural damages caused by "misuse" of you product.
