After 30 days. This is a great hammock...seems small at first but it very comfortable holds my wife and I at the same time. We've literally fallen asleep for a couple hours while listing to music as the dusk turns to night. Oatmeal color hides stains. Duracord is soft to the touch and dries quickly after rain. Haven't had critter issues yet. Weaving looks nice and appears durable. Stretch is adequate without becoming a problem. Steel and wood pieces are nicely finished...overall a terrific and relaxing addition to our yard.

Absolutelty top-notch. I left it out in rain, shine and fog for 6 months now. Don't have the energy to get it inside each time it rains (and oh boy, did it rain this summer in Dallas!). Each time sun shines back, my hammock is as great-feeling, as shiny and as taut as new. This weekend I had a party in my backyard, and my guests turned on the rough heat a little bit - they were even using it as a swing, three adults at a time. I was a little concerned, but at the end it was as if nothing happened. Kind of the feeling you get after you complete your first cross-state long drive with your Honda or Toyota - you are concerned whether your car is OK, but that trip was not even as much as a dent on its mind-boggling robust engineering. Pawleys rocks!

Mine and my wife's inexperience at the beginning resulted in a very scarily tangled up knot - all the hammock's ropes seemed to be tied to evry other piece of rope and passing through every other hole. But we slept on ot for a night, and gave it another shot next day. An intricate amount of mathematical calculations saved the day, and the hammock was straight again. It was us to blame in the first place - be careful to handle the hammock the right way. While rolling up, use the wood bars at the ends as anchor. Do not try fancy styles or get inattentive while rolling it up or down.

Having had Pawleys Island Hammocks before, I was glad to see the addition of the Dura Cord product line. I was a little apprehensive about the "feel" of the new material, but it is actually nicer than the old cotton one, and looks beautiful. Average lifetime of the cotton was about 4 years for us when left out all the time, so we will see about this one, but I trust the brand, so assume it will be better.

I received a Pawley's Island hammock as a gift in July, 2009 (birthday). It was the new DuraCord version. It was comfortable but the rope deteriorated and broke by August of 2010, just one month past the one year warranty, and was not in a place where it could be retied. My previous hammocks made from the traditional cotton rope have lasted 4-6 years on average. I think they have some work to do on the duraCord product!

What a perfect way to spend a lazy summer afternoon...lounging in a comfy hammock with a glass of iced-tea. (Heavy sigh)...that's exacly how I spent my first weekend once I got my hammock set up. The rope that the hammock is made of is a very soft cotton-like material. The rope doesn't dig into my skin or scratch me. I love it!

This hammock is my idea of a perfect Recreational Vehicle: it rocks me gently when I tear myself away from summertime chores and read to the gentle swaying, occasionally peering up through the tangle of apple tree branches to glimpse a patch of cloudless blue sky. And talk about fuel efficiency! It's good-looking, allows for extra passengers, and will transport me to anywhere I want to go without leaving home.

I don't think I'll ever leave my back yard again. You'd never know that this isn't cotton. It's so soft. It's got a huge weight capacity, so the whole family can hang out in it. Love it!

You simply can't find a more comfortable weather-resistant hammock. I highly recommend it!

great quality, easy to hang, low stretch, quick break in period. We love it!!!

This is our second Pawleys Island hammock. It is VERY comfortable and feels more stable than our old one (maybe because it is wider). Plenty of room for my wife and I, and we can squeeze the kids in too if needed. Only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is I prefered the more curved stretcher bars on the old Pawleys Island hammocks. Duracord is soft and comfortable and hopefully less likely to be eaten by mice in our shed like the previous cotton one. Great buy!
