Purchased this hammock for my husbands birthday and it arrived in time and in good shape.  It is VERY heavy so the UPS driver just backed into my driveway and slid it out the door so moving it by myself was a chore.  
The base is beautiful solid wood, very sturdy, the hammock is a durrible cotton.  I can see the base lasting for many years and the hammock can easily be replaced when it wears out.  So I am very happy about that.
The base is very big and takes up a lot of space so you'll need to make sure you have plenty of room for this behemoth.  The design is very sculptural and is not a piece of cheap lawn furniture, it is very stylish.  Both my husband and I can fit on it together though we only tried once.  
I ordered the blue stripe and as others have noted, the colors aren't as vibrant in real life, more of a faded denim blue.  I look forward to many summer afternoons spent napping in this over the years.
