At first I was impressed...but that was short lived. The hammock is kind of "slippery" compared to a canvas hammock...leaving more chances of falling off. Also, it does not well after a rainstorm (easily can get moldy and gross)...I wish I new this before the return period ended. I definitely would have returned this item. I've had way better hammocks in the past. Also, the black paint almost immediately came off of the wood spreaders. So sad.
