I bought my hammocks for my children in Costa Rica about 5 years ago and for Christmas last year they wanted new ones, just like them, they were a real chore to find with the braiding and all. But they were excited with them. My kids are real paticular, great find, great price. They took them in the winter months, so they lasted a lot longer. I am going to reorder to have on hand, next time for gifts.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
