Summary: Cheap Price, Cheap Quality
Comment: I bought this hammock in Feb' 05 during a sale at amazon. (~$52) Overall I thought the hammock was ok at first, though it stretched a great deal. I bought the stand that goes with it, and even on the highest chain link, it sits very low once you get in. I'm not a huge guy, but I DEFINATELY would not put two people in it. Now it is 10 months down the road, and the hammock frayed and snapped. I used it frequently in the beginning, but only a handful of times the last 5 monthes. The only good thing about it hanging low, was that my fall was only a foot, instead of a few feet. Any idea if there is a warranty?

Summary: 2nd hammock
Comment: I had first bought a hammock almost exactly like this one except it came with 2 hooks with wood-screw ends and 2 chains. It came from the "O" for over $80 over a year ago. After children excessively swinging on it consistently, the ropes had been naturally sawed off by the wood supports where the holes were made for rope access. When it had to be replaced, I chose this one. It was almost identical to the last, but did not come with the extra hardware, hammock only, but only cost $50 (w/ super saver shipping w/ i truely appreciate). this time I tightened up the knots before use, which I recommend to the buyer.

Summary: Too weak.
Comment: I am not happy with this hammock for the following reasons.
1) The rope used for this hammock is too thin; it cuts into the skin and I seriously doubt that it will hold two people safely. This will also be a problem when it has been in the sun for some time (which has to be expected for a hammock), UV rays makes cotton brittle.
2) The ropes are knotted, and not twisted like my previous hammocks, which causes it to cut into the flesh even more (and I weigh less than 120 lbs).
3) I have a standard free-standing hammock stand, and the hammock stretched all the way to the floor when I first used it (again, because the rope is too thin).
If the hammock hadn't been relatively cheap I would have sent it back; I just resented paying again $20 shipping plus having the hassle of packaging/ waiting at the Post office etc.
The only thing I liked was the with of the hammock.
This was one experience I will write off as "you get what you pay for".

Summary: I love it!
Comment: One piece of advice. Pick two trees MORE than 15 feet apart and use a chain at one end. The hammock will stretch with use and the chain can be used to raise it. Put the hooks a little higher than you think necessary. I think the stretching will stop over time but mine is too new for that.
I was shocked at the quality for the price I paid. IT has plenty of room for 2 people and seems to be very strong. THe slightest movement will cause you to swing side to side. I think I will be able to get very use to this.

Hammocks provide the ultimate relaxation, so let the gentle swinging motion and free-floating midair suspension transport you. Be surrounded in total comfort, taking advantage of that well-deserved moment of respite. The Castaway rope hammock is a classic design, with special wooden spacer bars that keep the hammock spread open at all times. Clearly designed for comfort and durability, the Castaway has nickel-plated fasteners, weatherized natural-cotton rope, and triple-varnished hardwood bars. The hammock's craftsmanship is fantastic, with hand-braided reinforced edges and a woven body with macrame ends for added support. With its superior materials and great design, the Castaway is sure to provide season after season of use either outside or inside.
