Hammock
The material quality is about what you would expect for the price. There are no carabiners included and it instead comes with hooks. That being said it is more comfortable than far more expensive ones. Ditch the hooks use carabiners. These hammocks do not pinch you inward making it very comfortable.
A tip to you campers use just one line between points (utilize a prusik knot for tension) and let the hammock drape from that single rope. You can now use that same line for your rain fly or your mosquito netting. You save on weight and you don't have to cut your rope.
I uploaded video to a popular website (wink) of the hammock and how to use the single line method with a mosquito net! I tried posting the links but Amazon deleted them. Search under "Grand Trunk Ultra Light Hammock" and you should be able to find 3 of them.
If it came with carabiners I would have given 5 stars.

Not a hammock
Ok so I ordered this naively. Those of you liked this product have never laid in a hammock. There is this incredible womb-like property a hammock has mostly because the material of the hammock assumes your shape and because of that heady swaying motion that almost on contact transports you to a warm fuzzy place. This is not that. This is a cot. The material is a hard resin with no give and more importantly there are four points of contact not the two that a hammock traditionally has i.e. NO SWAY whatsoever. I was soooo disappointed. Nicely made but it's a nicely made cot not a hammock. I wouldn't say it's even remotely like the experience of laying in a hammock.

Wonderful way to keep cool in the pool or lake
I was lucky enough to try this product at a friend's pool one day and decided I had to get one for our summer vacation on a lake. It is very easy to get on unlike many other pool floats and actually cradles you slightly below the surface of the water allowing you to remain cool in the sun. Only the outside inflates so even without a pump it is easy to inflate. The center of the float is mesh so aboout 3 inches of water envelopes you when you get in. It worked just as well on a lake as in the pool and is highly recommended for comfort- I had to fight the entire family for possession! Another great feature is that once the air is out if folds up flat for easy carrying and storage. I am going to order more for my family's vacation next year....

Very comfortable hammockIt's very comfortable compared to the open ones where parts of you hang through no matter how you lay. I bought one for a friend and then had to have one for myself.
