We have one of these (and a corresponding hammock-chair stand) for a couple years now and it’s pretty terrific. We’ve accidentally left it out at times when it’s rained and while the fabric seems to have survived those wet/dry cycles, the unfinished wooden spreader bar has some mold spots on it and has developed a gentle curve which was not there when new. While I could probably get a replacement dowel (and a lathe to make the end grooves
), I figured buying a spare for this low price was a reasonable move. Anyway, very little to dislike, especially at this price. (FWIW, the spring on which the swing hangs oriented the chair to face sideways, so we bought a second spring which effectively gave the arrangement a 90-degree twist so that it was facing forward. Downside is that it now sits lower to the ground. #FirstWorldProblems, of course.)
Its a shame about your wood. Great idea about having a stunt double for a good price. NOW I wish this deal came with the frame you have. Wha…
