I was very disappointed that this hammock does not fit the LL Bean Hammock Stand I have been using with a hammock I purchased from LL Bean several years ago. It comes up about two feet short which is a huge disappointment since the stand held up so nicely. The quality on the hammock seems good if you have trees that will work to hang it. Just be warned that if your intention is to put the hammock into an LL Bean Hammock Stand, you may want to make other plans!!
We just bought our second hammock. The first one lasted 7 years and was out in the elements for five months each year. We are still using the original pillow.
I love the large cotton hammock for one or two people. The cotton feels good to lie on and after 3 years, still looks clean. I do take it down each night and place it on an outside porch to protect it from rain and morning dew. I also purchased the metal stand for it which we store inside in the winter. Laying on a hammock is so comforting because of the ever so slight rocking motion. It is also fun to lie sideways and swing with it by pushing with my feet.
