Great value for money

I first bought a purple/dark green hammock for myself just to see if the hammock was worth it at a lower price. I noticed that the carabiners were attached to the rope and not the nylon straps shown in the photo. This is normal as they seem more durable to me. No fiddling with the included rope (I can't tie knots). I can highly recommend them for this reason. My friend who was trying to find a good place to hang it checked it out. He's definitely under the recommended weight limit, but heavier than me. We had some disagreements over the mounting technique - I think it's acceptable to just sit in the short side seat and position yourself in it, he thinks you have to straddle it first and then position on top of it. Well, due to the placement technique, the seams on the attached pocket with things burst and it got caught by a thread. It's okay because now I still hang both this and the bag on carabiners. It is advertised as suitable for two - I would disagree with that. I don't really like my boyfriend. That's incredible. cozy. I mean, we could easily sit next to each other (what was meant by that?), but lying together isn't an option. Aside from that - I bought the blue-grey one for this - this one comes with nylon straps to attach the hammock to the carabiner. I was a bit skeptical as they look so tiny compared to the rope I had on my first one, but they hold up pretty well! If I were to make changes to this design to better suit my needs, these would be - a cup holder (sort of) and maybe a secondary side loop to elevate the side for sun protection. My current solution is to simply position the leg to be tighter and pull the side more. I'm not sure how else to explain this, but other than that the side tends to droop (as opposed to the user's cocoon) - it depends on how you position the hammock. I do my homework in it, so I put the head of the hammock higher on the tree so I can sit more comfortably. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and the brand (I have several Foxelli products. I find them to be quality for the price).
