Reviewed by Cala from NC on Friday, July 04, 2008This hammock was a great price, attractive and seemed well made. It did not work for us (and we've returned it), because of the way it closes in on you once you're in it. It's sort of like being the stuffing in a taco, or a caterpillar in a cocoon. It does not have the rod (usually wooden)at each end that most hammocks have these days that keep the hammock open and extended, so once you get in, the sides stretch back over you, making it hard to read or converse from it and a risk to anyone who's claustrophobic.
- Best Uses: Maybe for camping out
- Cons: You feel like a taco
- Describe Yourself: Practical

Reviewed by jillybean from Parkersburg, WV on Thursday, May 15, 2008I wanted this product to relax in the back yard, maybe read a book on a nice day. But without the wooden rods or separater bars that are on most hammocks, the sides of it just wrapped around me. Then I was pretty much confined to staring straight up since my view was mostly blocked by the sides of the hammock.
- Cons: Too confining

- Pros: Good Size, Stylish

Reviewed by Relaxing in the sun from Denver, CO on Monday, April 07, 2008So far we have used it in the backyard. It seems very sturdy apart from the metal eyelet protectors which bent out of shape the first time we used it. I hooked metal carabiners to the eyelets which likely exacerbated the stresses on them. The fabric weave is comfortable but strong. It seems a little bulky for any backpacking use, but would be awesome for car camping.
