I purchased a hammock from this company (through Amazon) last week and received it on a Thursday night. I set it up in our back yard on Friday Night. The reason I purchased it so I would have one for a party I was throwing on Sunday night... however about an hour or two into the party it started literally falling apart. There was no undue stress put on it... only one person was sitting in it when it broke. Now, I know I purchased a cheaper hammock, but I still expect that any product that I purchase to be at least serviceable for a reasonable amount of time this was ridiculous...
