Beautiful!   We live in Texas and our summers can be hard on outdoor furniture.   My husband received this for Father's Day and I did not see any wear over the summer even after multiple pool parties, lots of sun, and crazy rain this last year.   We do bring in the hammock when not in use due to the lighter color (no way am I leaving it out there for pollen season), but the stand is always exposed to the elements.   We have moved it around from the patio to a grassy area, it is on the heavier side so I would recommend two people to move it around if needed.
