Hammock seems to be good value so far. Comfortable, decorative, fits 2 people with extra space or 3 10 year olds. I noticed a slight fraying on 1 of lead ropes prior to use, but I have read that could be normal and does not effect the stability of ropes. It would be nice if hammocks come with chain attachments for convenience but other than my preference I would recommend the hammock. Since hammock is fabric I have not left in rain, so if you don't mind the extra care of taking down each day to ensure quality and cleanliness then this hammock is for you. Also hammock comes in nice zippered sack to make portability an ease. Love it.
