DO NOT BUY THIS HAMMOCK! I purchased this item in September 2011, by March of this year (2012), it was not usable. The green and white side looks fine, but the solid green side literally disintegrated into a green powder. Keep in mind it was not chewed on by a dog, played on by a child, eaten by insects or mistreated in any way. I can't explain why a fabric would do this and I have never seen it happen before. Spend your $149 on something that you will be able to actually use in 6 months. Very, very, very disappointed as this should have lasted at least a couple years!
