Hammocks Are Perfect For Lazy Summer Fun
The humble hammock is quite a simple invention, and although the basic principle has been around for over 1000 years, it's still hard to beat the tranquil feeling of relaxation that hammocks provide. The first hammocks originated in Central America, being used by the ingenious Mayan Indians. And today, hammocks in a variety of styles and colors are used for relaxing and unwinding in all kinds of settings. From enjoying a snooze by the poolside, to resting in the shade of the trees in your own backyard on a hot sunny day, to being a handy camping accessory, there are a number of ways to enjoy the comfort of a hammock!
There are several different sorts of hammocks available these days, each offering that serene feeling of weightlessness as you hang in the air. Traditional rope styles with wooden spreader bars are a perennial favorite, with the large gaps being perfect for circulating air on a hot day. Cotton is a comfortable natural fiber, whereas polyester is a more moisture-tolerant alternative. Quilted hammocks made from soft and durable fabrics are more suited to cooler climates and cool summer evenings. They're also better for families, as there aren't any big gaps for small kids to get tangled in. There are also hammocks specifically designed for camping, which offer protection from the elements and extras like mosquito netting. Poolside hammocks are made from quick-drying weather resistant fabric perfect to use by the pool or ocean.
Non-spreader bar hammocks that are hand woven in bright colorful patterns are comfortable and affordable, and include Mexican, Brazilian and Nicaraguan designs. Hammocks can be hung from sturdy tree branches, from hooks on ceilings, walls or decks, or from purpose built stands. Hammock stand kits, hanging chains and tree straps are readily available from online hammock stores. For smaller spaces, hammock chairs or swings are a popular option. These can easily be hung on a deck, porch or patio. They also offer cozy seating in small apartments or lofts.
Your own hammock can provide a peaceful retreat for you to get away from the rush of modern life, inducing a calm and laidback feeling. Hammocks are perfect for relaxing and unwinding, and make great additions to any home.

I ordered this garden bench in the blue and love it! It gives our front porch a great pop of color. So glad the blue bench came back in stock!

Very easy to assemble. Came with instructions and each part is labelled. It’s a great size. Fit all I needed to store in the garden. Keeps contents protected as no water gets in. Looks great too. I would highly recommend this product.

Received as shown in the picture. The wood is solid and quality is spot on. The swing is so sturdy. Easy to assemble with one helping hand. Delivered as promised on time. The only concern I had was ,couple of screws and bolts were missing. I need to buy from outside.

Timely delivery on a double order. Super attractive benches for outdoor seating at my biz. However one bench was broken in one area and another had a crack. Will be receiving a replacement so I’m good with that.

It does the job, seems sturdy and looks nice. Good value for what it is. However... the shelves in the central section are not adjustable, and the width of all the shelves is too thin to fit a standard file box in, which makes the shelves a bit awkward to use.

I needed 8 but ordered four of these chairs in grey just to check the quality. I am very pleased with the overall look and quality. They are light but sturdy. I paired them with an expensive teak table to get in upscale French ambiance. It works.

For me the quality of product is the most important factor,and this bench fell short. The material used and the color was not true to advertisement.

Absolutely pleased with it! You’d definitely need at least 2 people to put it together quickly (and a hammer and screwdriver) but once it has come together, it is definitely a sturdy piece of furniture

Had them for ages before I got them out of the box so felt obliged to keep them. Seats are nice and comfortable but they are so low- likewise the table. Just FAR too small and not worth the money! Would not recommend. The picture gives the illusion that the table was taller than it actually is. It is only really like a very small coffee table.

Great chairs but hardish to assemble - I had to use my own screws to make it work . The holes and the bolt and connector were not well engineered enough to assemble it .

Easy to hang, cute, looks great with a variety of air plants. What else could you need?

Fantastic bench. Solid and comfy without the need for additional cushions. I haven't given 5 stars because as others have mentioned some of the screw holes and screws for the seat piece weren't great, but easily sorted by using a longer screw than that supplied. Well worth the price.

Way smaller then I thought it would be. Barely got the cactus in there as it shows in some of the pictures. Not sure what else you could put in them other than tiny tiny plants. Not worth $40 at all. Very disappointed.
