Summary: Red Canvas Swing
Comment: Very comfortable, easy to install. I'm short so I wish the 'beer' holder hung a little lower. Sheri

Summary: Great product for the price
Comment: I have not hung the chairs yet, but they seem solidly constructed. For the price they cannot be beat.

Summary: Nothing like the picture on Amazon
Comment: I'm in the midst or returning the item. It was nothing like what was shown in the picture. Rough-finished 1-inch dowel pieces, poor surface smoothness with a lot of dings and divots, very dark (much darker than in the photo) inconsistent surface finish to the varnish or whatever was used on the dowels. The rope to hang the upper crosspiece (shown disappearing from the top of the picture at about 60 degree angles from the dowel) is so short that it makes more like 10-20 degree angles. Rope is dark polypropylene that's been quickly heated to seal the ends together. Worst of all, the rope joins are done by pulling the rope plies apart in the middle of rope sections and putting other ropes through the holes. Not something a sane person does to load-bearing ropes. A lot of the sections hang 'almost' symmetric and even. But only almost.

Instructions are typical not-made-in-America fare - iffy grammar, nothing on how to hang it properly, how long a rope or ropes to use, how to suspend the foot rest versus the chair. A perusal of the EWINS site shows the same picture and a longer description that's full of horrible typos and grammar.

I'd hoped for the best after seeing chairs like this at the art fair part of the Gilroy Garlic Festival years ago. This one, I unwrapped it and within about 5 minutes knew I'd NEVER trust the safety of someone in my family to hanging from/on it. As a further warning, if you go so far as ordering, pay attention to how it's folded up. There is only one very non-intuitive way to fold the parts back together so that it will fit, just barely, in the shipping box (and even then, it's about 3/4" longer than the box so that you have to distend the ends to tape it shut again.

Run in fear.

Summary: Looks good, but--ouch!
Comment: Got my two hammocks and am STILL trying to put one together!!! I read the previous reviews--I figured if the guy who loved it AFTER he put it together was sharp enough to figure it out without directions, I could. Ha. It looks easy enough, but those knots and ties are aggravating! Maybe I'll change my mind IF I ever get the thing together--meantime--I'm hatin' it. Oh, the red and black coloring is very GA Bulldogs :)
