By The Lounger from Columbia, SC on 11/12/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Setup, Quality Construction Best Uses: Backyard, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had one of these before but, after leaving it outside, hung-up for a year it rotted out. This time around, I bought some NikWax cotton waterproofer and applied it to it & hope it will last much longer. I'd still recommend putting it up somewhere dry when not in use for extended periods.
Great deal for some relaxation By Siesta from Orange, CA on 11/12/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Size, Quality Construction Best Uses: Backyard, Relaxation, Year-round Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great bargin. Got it as a gift for my Dad so he didn't have to fix his old hammock. We take it camping and use it in the back yard. Good quality.
Too much stretch from rope By Posh from Twin Lakes, WI on 11/01/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Set up the hammock in the matching stand and still cannot keep it from almost touching the stand when I climb in it - no instructions with the hammock so I am not sure if the rope has to be treated or soaked and dried to make it less stretchy. If there is any advice you could give I would appreciate it. Sierra Trading Post Responded on 11/01/2009
As other reviews have noted the stretch should subside after a few naps in it. If you feel that it is still not 100% to you satisfaction, of course we will always allow a return!
By ABF from Prosser, WA on 09/23/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Size Best Uses: Backyard, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This hammock is very comfortable and relaxing. We have one for our house and our cabin in the mountains.
By Happy Happy from San Francisco Bay Area on 09/17/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Easy Setup, Good Size, Quality Construction Best Uses: Backyard, Car Camping, Families, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: For the money, this product can't be beat! We had other hammocks for about the same price range and none of them was as well-made as this one. The hammock is about 6' long and 5' wide - just nice for 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 kids.
There are 2 metal rings, one at each end. We secured 2 hooks(bought from local hardware store) on our balcony's pillars and hung the hammock there. Like the others mentioned, just adjust the hammock for height as it will sag on load.
We plan to take the hammock car camping too.
The materials used are top-notch and we are looking at other products by ABO for our beach needs.
Thank you STP for offering this fine product.
Great product for the price!

By dd from Stratford, CT on 08/12/2009 Best Uses: Backyard, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Don't understand why seller says it goes with the stand if it really doesn't fit well?
I had to twist the ends several times, but it keeps stretching to the ground. So I just keep twisting it inside itself at both ends to make it work.
good hammock - great price By Hikermom from Northern Virginia on 08/11/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Easy Setup, Good Size Best Uses: Backyard, Families, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great price for a good hammock. Since I paid less than half what I've paid for other hammocks, I'm very happy with the quality. As noted in other reviews, it will stretch a lot at first, so hang it high, about 5 feet off the ground stretched taut. It will stretch down to the right height after a couple of naps (-: Also, as noted before, you should take it down and store inside for the winter to increase the life of the hammock. A cotton hammock will not last forever, but it may be enjoyed for several years if you do this. I recommend this product.
Saggin' and Draggin' Hammock By Mr.B from not in a hammock, WY on 07/31/2009 Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Hammock looks great but for an OBX native I should have known better and spent the money on a Hatteras Hammock. Bought this for my wife and four year old daughter to use together but my 38lb daughter alone stretches it to the ground. Wanted and tried to get this hammock to work but no such luck. Monumental waste of time and money.
