Well, I really thought I was getting a bright red hammock, but it was more on the maroon side, which is okay since my favorite color is maroon...What I'm giving two stars for is that, like other reviewers said ..." Its too low, and also nobody mentioned on reviews,  is that its really hard to get out of...I have to kneel on grass to get out of it...lol! Shipping was extraordinary fast..so that was great!  What else can I say, well, I guess I'll be shopping for a taller, and sturdier hammock in the near future...Oh, what I forgot to mention is that its great for kids, my grandchildren loved it...they are enjoying more than I am.
