This hammock, although very beautiful to look at is the most uncomfortable thing to sit in. It is difficult to return because there is no paperwork sent with it. I have owned many hammocks over the years most of which I bought from Overstock and this is the only one I have not loved. Stick with the the white cotton rope or the parachute material, This one is like balancing on a wooden board.

The hammock is great. Easy to use and very comfortable. The only problem is the color. I would say it's deep blue, not turquoise. But I like it too much to return.
