This is a great hammock! Easy to put together, sturdy, beautiful and looks a lot more expensive than it is! I really love the wood stain color! Obviously you need to keep the hammock part inside during inclement weather, but it's really easy to attach when you want to use it, so that's no big deal to me. It's really comfortable; I really prefer these "cocoon-style" hammocks to the flat ones. We got the tropical one and the colors are very vibrant and should hide minor dirt very nicely, too (unlike the white one, which I didn't buy for that reason). Overall this was a great purchase and I highly recommend it!
