This is absolutely a quality hammock chair. I have been looking for one like this to replace my Bliss hammock chair, which lasted for years before it wore out several years ago. I could not find a similar product to replace it, so I had purchased hammock chairs with cotton tabs that secure the ropes to the chair, not realizing that those wear out before the season is out. We had bought several of them, and didn't even sit in a couple, and those cotton tabs disintegrated anyway, just from the weather. So, the reason I purchased this one is because of the metal rivets that secure the ropes to the chair, which is just like the original chair that I purchased that lasted several years. I am very pleased with this purchase, and highly recommend it.
