This hammock not only looks great, but is well made too! We bought a 2 person hammock for much more than this from a hardware store chain and had to return it because the knots started to loosen when we got in. Not the case here-- that's the amazing thing because the threads are so thin and silky, but there are so many of them that they cradle two people perfectly. It's like laying on a cloud. I would definitely recommend this, and also recommend bringing it in after you use it-- we do and it has stayed in perfect condition (we've owned it 8 months).

Previous reviewers who gave this hammock a bad rating need to know that this type of hammock is intended to be used the opposite way they are used to lying in a hammock. The user must lie across what seems like the width and not the length. When you spread the netting out with your head, torso, and legs the net spreads out wider than the actual length and is extremely comfortable. The larger version actually accomodates two people and if they lie opposite each other they will have a cozy conversation place! Back up to the hammock's center and pull opposite edge of fabric netting up over your head, then sit in the center of the netting while you push off the ground with one foot and spread the netting edge out away from you with your other foot. Voila, you will have a slight swing and sway while you drift off to dreamland! Shoes are a no-no as they might damage the netting. I have had several of these over the years and I am giving this one a 5 star rating because the copper glow is so beautiful.

I'd order this again. It's very well constructed and plenty big enough. I was surprised it came in such a little box and was afraid it'd be mangled and tangled. But it was packaged very carefully and didn't need a big box since there is no bar. My husband wasn't crazy about no bar because it kind of falls close to you, but if you adjust you can be comfortable in it. I love having no bar. It gives you more workable space and it doesn't flip you out before you're ready, like the ones with bars do. Nice color. We put it under a porch so it doesn't get weather damage. If it was real windy and raining we'd bring it in. Since there's no bar, that too will be a cinch, and we can store it easily until the weather permits putting it back out.

My boyfriend absolutely loves it. He falls right to sleep in it and its not like your normal hammock, its silky and you can wrap your self in it like a cocoon. Its great and it doesn't crack or fade, we keep ours up all year long, on pine trees in the back yard. Love it

I've had a few hammocks over the years (all with the typical bars at each end). This one is outstanding and I much prefer it without the bars. My fiancé and I can both fit comfortably and have found it is best to lay diagonally with two people. I've logged a couple naps in it by myself and like how you can drape it over yourself like a cocoon. When I ordered it, I didn't realize it was a fair trade product, so the packaged letter explaining that was a great bonus.

The color of this hammock is beautiful. It's well constructed. It is a little hard to sit in and we've tried a few different angles, as mentioned in other reviews. I don't see how two people would fit in this hammock. Looks great though!

We've had this hammock for over a year. It has gone from a golden-bronze color (not really copper) to a slightly green bronze color as it is outside constantly, but that doesn't bother us. There are no pulled or broken strings, so it's great quality. It holds both my husband & I at the same time easily (~370lbs). We do have to lay in it crosswise as it is designed. It is not a lengthwise hammock with a spreader bar that most Americans are familiar with, which works great for our narrow porch as it collapses into a narrow rope of fabric. It did take us a little bit to figure out the most comfortable way to lay together & separately, but we have thoroughly enjoyed this hammock!!!

I was surprised to receive this hammock after 3 days of ordering it! I was prepared to wait up to 18 days since it stated it would be shipped from Mexico. The color is not a light golden copper color like in the pic, it's more of a dark brown. That was a little disappointing, but it's still a nice neutral color and goes well on my back porch hanging between 2 timber beams. It was easy to hang and very comfortable when sitting across the width, not the length (that way is not as comfortable). But I love these hammocks and this is my second one. My first one has been hanging outside for over a year and still in great condition (other than a little faded). So I highly recommend this hammock and will probably be buying another in a different color.

• Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Not exactly, it's darker in person-more like a dark yellowish brown
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good, it had a couple loose ends but I tied them together and it shouldn't be a problem
• How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate

Gave this as a gift to my Sister and her family. They loved it. It caused them to remember that summer will indeed come back.

This hammock is extremely comfortable and looks great! It appears to be extremely durable. My husband and I fit in it with room to spare. It helps make our backyard a peaceful oasis. I highly recommend this hammock. Thank you again Overstock.

Finally hung out hammock - heads up buyers: you will need to purchase separately an apparatus to hang the hammock. Luckily we have plenty of thick palm trees in our yard and found a few viable spots to choose from, so we purchased the hammock strap system. Sitting in this hammock is delightful. I kept saying "heaven". This hammock is supposed to be sat in perpendicular to the direction it hangs - ie you don't lay with your head at one tree and your feet at the other. While you can sit/lay this way, it is not as comfortable. The only slight problem that I have found so far is that you don't get a lot of head support, even with extra material near the head. It seemed to keep slipping towards my shoulders. I am sure that I will be able to find a solution to this with more practice. Until then, I am going to continue to enjoy the relaxing hammock. We just started using this hammock so we cannot speak to it fading, wearing, etc. However, like suggested, we will be storing it indoors whenever not in use.

I was nervous that me and my husband would not be able to lay in the hammock at the same time... but we can! Although, most of the time it is just me laying in the hammock while he mows the lawn. This purchase was well worth the money! It is pretty, strong, easy to set up, and comfortable!

It was a Father's day gift. My husband loves it! Me also. Its comfortable. Perfect for the location we chose. Relax, take a nap, read a book etc...

Got this hammock for my husband for fathers day and have been using it for several months, we love this item. The color is a lovely neutral and it is so comfortable. Recommend highly!

This is my 2nd attempt at posting...here goes: I have two boys who both have Autism and I bought this believing it would be a great resource for providing sensory pressure. They both are over 6' tall, both weigh over 270 lbs, and seem to enjoy it. Knowing that it's rated at 450 lbs makes my oldest feel safe and comfortable to use it, as he is very large. It does not hang splayed open, as in the picture. They have to open it up to climb into it, which is fine. Just note it will most likely not look like the picture when you put it up. Both of my boys have rated this a five. Have only had this hammock for a month, but am hoping with proper storage over the winter months it will last several springs and summers.

I bought this hammock online and am thrilled with it. I have used it extensively and providing you don't wear things that can get snagged on it, it will last a long time. Very comfortable and a good buy!

We love this hammock. It fits two people perfectly and is far more comfortable then the traditional hammock with the rope and wooden crossbar.
