I just got mine, and love it! My old rope hammock had holes the size of chain-link fencing. The weave an this hammock is small enough that you can toss a penny onto it without the penny falling through the holes. This makes it vastly more comfortable (by distributing the weight). It's like the difference between flannel and corduroy.

I tried a non-cotton hammock that I bought locally, but it was so slippery I slid off the silly thing. This hammock is like buttah....

I just needs some limes and a bunch of ice now, and I can kick back in style.

I got this last year from Amazon.com during one of their bundle specials with the hammock stand. It's a nice hammock and comfortable for the most part. My only complaint is that the ropes are too elastic. While it's very relaxing and conforms to your body, after about 30 minutes of laying or sitting on it, you have to get up and retension the hammock to keep your body from dragging along the ground (I'm a lightweight at about 135 lbs). It's possible that I need to break it in more since I've only used it about 10 times, but right now it kind of annoying that I can't just relax without worrying about feeling the ground beneath me.

I got my husband this Hammock for Father's Day and he LOVES it. No complaints whatsoever.

It took a long while to get this one, but it is entirely worth the wait. This hammock is wide/long and gets a high score for comfort. One thing I didn't know was that the hanging kit (hooks/chains) for this hammock has to be purchased separately (costs about $15). Despite that, I have to say that it is a great buy for its price.

The hammock is large and the strings are tightly woven so it is comfortable to lay in. It is also fairly durable as we have had piles of kids play on it without any major damage. We usually bring it inside when not being used so I can't comment on it's weather resistance, but we have had it for almost 5 years and have been very happy.

I'm tired of waiting for this item- I MAY like it, if it ever ships.
