I really love this hammock. I was afraid to choose one at first. I didn't want one that would drop real low to the ground or be like a cocoon. This one is great. I don't fell like I am going to topple out of it. It is comfortable and pretty easy to put together. I did most of it myself and then needed my husband's help to add the stability bars. It looks just as it is pictured. I ordered the blue, white and black striped one. I love the bright blue.
