This is the third hammock I have ordered over the years. The first 2 were heavy duty and took a beating. This last one I had to return due to separator bars splitting. The rope are also not as heavy as previous hammocks.
After having a made in USA excellent hammock, the made in India Bean hammock was a dissappointment. The sides are tight and the middle sags to the ground. I will be returning it for a refund
This is my third extra large hammock. (Squirrels love them for nesting, unfortunately. ). Sadly, the quality is not the same as it used to be. The weave is not as uniform, the rope is not as soft, and there is this weird stiffly woven edge now. There are also fewer strands so i assume that it has been cost reduced. if that is the case, i would have liked the option to pay more as the last 2 were the gold standards. This is still a nice hammock but I will be shopping around a bit for the next one. What a shame!!
I have had this hammock for at least 10 years and it is still going strong. I was replacing hammocks every year until I got this one. Well worth the money.
