Perfect for Relaxing
As someone who's 6'2" and 282 pounds, I’ve got to say this hammock is awesome! I'm into antique looks, and this one nails that style perfectly. It's soft, flexible, and strong enough to support me without any discomfort. It cradles you just right while you sway in the breeze. It has the charm of a classic piece but feels modern in terms of sturdiness. I planted these two Maple trees myself 30 years ago, just so I could enjoy this! Happy with my purchase!

Great hammock and fantastic customer service!
I don’t usually write reviews, but the customer service from Hawkins Woodshop was so impressive I felt I had to share my experience. I’ve been wanting to get a new hammock for a few summers now, and I finally decided to go for it. I wanted something similar to a friend’s weaved hammock that we fell in love with. This one looked like the closest match—it's not too tightly woven, so you don't get body parts poking through, and it feels nice and sturdy without that rough rope texture. When it arrived, I noticed one part of the weaving was a bit too tight, which made it uncomfortable to lie in. My husband and I aren’t small people, so I called Hawkins Woodshop to see if we could sort it out. I mentioned soaking it to try and stretch it, but the rep was super understanding and immediately offered to send us a replacement hammock. It showed up just a few days later! Now we have a great hammock that we both fit in comfortably. One tip for anyone new to these kinds of hammocks: let it stretch a bit when you first set it up. We used some extra chain links to get it on our stand, and at first, we almost ended up on the deck when we got in! But it works perfectly now and has turned into one of our favorite spots to relax this summer.

I got my hammock and I'm really happy with it! The rope is thick and comfy. The only issue was a small hole where it looks like a loop was skipped in the weave. I reached out to Hawkins Woodshop, and Colby got back to me fast, arranging for a replacement right away. I'd recommend them to anyone!

Great Hammock!
I love this hammock! The size and color are just right, and it's surprisingly comfy—way better than a pricier one I used to own. Getting in and out is a breeze too. The grandkids had a blast using it, and it held up great!

Perfect for relaxing in the summer
I'm a big guy at 6'2" and 282 pounds, and I’ve got a thing for vintage-style pieces. This hammock is just what I was looking for. It’s super soft, flexible, and sturdy, cradling me perfectly while I sway in the breeze. No pinching or discomfort at all, just pure relaxation. It has that classic look but with modern strength. I'm thrilled with this purchase! I planted these two Maple trees 30 years ago for the spot to relax, and it’s finally come together!

Awesome hammock! A++++ on customer service!
First of all, I am not, repeat - not, one who writes reviews for products. However, with the wonderful customer service I received, I just had to sing the praises about my experience with the company we purchased it from. Been meaning to order another hammock for several summers now and finally got around to doing it! We were looking for one similar to a friend’s weaved hammock that we absolutely loved and this ended up being the closest we could find…not too big a weave that lets elbows, feet or other larger body parts poke through and one that could hold a bit of weight (my hubby is a big 6’ linebacker type guy and I’m definitely not what you would call, “petite”) but without the rough, rope-like feel. Hammock arrived. Unfortunately, there was something a little strange with the weaving…like one strip of it got weaved too tight so it literally felt like you had a perpetual wedgie when you laid down in it. At first we thought we could make do however, the long term wear and tear started to concern me, especially considering that my husband and I aren’t smallish type people, that eventually I decided to call the company to see what we could do to remedy the situation. (I thought maybe soaking it in water and then having my hubby sleep in it overnight to stretch it out would help?) I called during business hours and the customer service rep - not an calling autobot or overseas call in service - kindly listened to my first-world dilemma and offered to ship us out another one, no problem! It had to be shipped out soon after I talked with her because it came within just a few days. So now we have this wonderful hammock that the whole family loves, one that both my husband and I can cuddle up in - without the perpetual wedgie feeling. One side note to all you “Karens” out there or if you’ve never owned a weaved hammock before - give your hammock some time to stretch. We have ours on a stand, outside on our deck. So when you first go to set it up, the chain links may not be long enough at first. We had some extra chain links and carrabeaners (sp?) to get it to initially fit on the hammock stand. When you go to sit/lay on it you may almost end up on the ground (or on the ground/bar like my hubby and I did when we first got in it). I promise you, it will be okay (unless you got one with a wedgie weave, then you may need to call customer service). Just give it a few days…. Each time you get in the hammock it will stretch, keep shortening the chain link length to your height preference. We’ve had a bit of a crazy year but, I can honestly say, its one of the few things that has given us a reprieve from it all, it’s become one of our favorite places to chill this summer…a happy place!:-)
