Not a hammock
Ok, so I ordered this naively. Those of you liked this product have never laid in a hammock. There is this incredible womb-like property a hammock has, mostly because the material of the hammock assumes your shape, and because of that heady swaying motion that almost on contact transports you to a warm fuzzy place. This is not that. This is a cot. The material is a hard resin with no give, and more importantly, there are four points of contact, not the two that a hammock traditionally has, i.e., NO SWAY whatsoever. I was soooo disappointed. Nicely made, but it’s a nicely made cot, not a hammock. I wouldn’t say it’s even remotely like the experience of laying in a hammock.
Easy to fold out and the design is excecuted really well!!
The constuction and what you get for the price is amazing. When folded up the size is pretty big and heavy but it seems like it will stand the test of time. The only drawback is the crappy little flat pillow they added to the product. They should have put a velco strap on it so it secures to the headrest area or just cost reduce it out of the product all together. Most people use their own pillows anyways. The color of the tubing was dead on. Great design guys!!

Great hammock – easy to use – great color
Received this with a great price. Very comfortable (deceptively so) – construction is extremely solid. It is true that “packing” this thing would require some effort, but it is very easy to move once it is open. My 8 year old son and I can move it very easily without scraping the bottom.
I’m not sure about some reviewers concern re instruction and the pillow. The chains easily loop over the solid ends after you pull it open – it took like 10 seconds to “assemble”. The colors are great and should go well with just about any color scheme – the beams are a platinum color and the hammock portion is a dark color. Highly suggest you pick this up.
