While away a lazy afternoon in your favorite hammock safely with the Ceara hammock stand. Made from powder-coated steel construction, this stand doesn’t require special securing to keep you suspended and carefree.Assembly is easy as can be. You just push bars together and tighten a few bolts with the provided wrench, and you’re ready to go!This hammock stand is adjustable from 124"-149" (10.3’ to 12.5’) long so can be used with a wide variety of hammocks.With only a little bit of care, this hammock stand should last you a long time due to the powder coating used as finish on the steel tubes. If used outdoors, you may see some surface rust, which can easily be removed with minimal maintenance.This stand can easily be broken down and put away when not in use.

A quick note : if you haven't yet purchased the ENO Doublenest, you might consider getting a longer one. Try hammockforums.net for advice. Also keep in mind that Dutchware will sell you a 10' hammock in polyD fabric for $33 + shipping, 11' for $35. Last I checked an ENO DN was like $70, so even if you got a full suspension from Dutch as well you'd only be a few dollars more than the ENO (and you'd have an actual high quality suspension).
As for the stands:
Both of those stands are really short. At 6'3" I believe you'd be generally recommended at least an 11-foot hammock, which neither of these will support. I have a Byer/Amazonas Vario hammock stand, which can be adjusted from 11' up to 15'. I think those are getting harder to find, but REI and Amazon both sell what appears to be its successor, the Byer Ceara. It costs a little more than either of your linked stands, but if the build quality is anything like my Vario, it's worth it. Most importantly, it is adjustable and the minimum length will actually be comfortable for someone your height.
If you're interested in building one yourself, this Google search should get you to hammockforums.net, which has a huge variety of options. The Turtledog/Turtlelady stand is probably one of the most popular designs, but it has been a couple years since I've looked into it and I'm sure they've come up with some new stuff since then.
Edit: One other option is to hang the hammock directly on the walls. Depending on how old or shoddily made your house is, and how your room is constructed, this may be a tricky proposition; but many people have had success screwing eye bolts into studs and simply hanging a hammock off them. The huge upside to this is that you have absolutely no hardware taking up floor space when the hammock is not in use; you just push it over to one and you have the full floor space of the room available to you.
Be warned though, some people have done things like pulled walls out of alignment, torn holes in the wall or old studs, etc. So do some due diligence on the construction of the house if you're going to try this route.
