I purchased this chair as an alternative to a standard -boring-hammock. It is definitely 'out of Africa' cool! we hung it between two trees supported by a heavy duty chain (hammock style) and it looks fantastic! A bit confusing to put together -took time and focus, and the foot rest hangs independent of the chair, not as attractive or comfortable as we assumed from the photos. All in all, a good value , very comfortable and has a definitely unique appearance.
