Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I usually do not write reviews but I had to come back two months later and write a review for this. I bought this back in October for myself. It was intended to go on my back porch. When I got the product, for the heck of it, I hooked it to some hardware I have attached in my family room/ playroom. (My son is autistic and we used to have his sensory swing hanging in this spot.) I thought it was just a novelty as the kids fought over who gets to sit in it. But two months later, it is the favorite seat in the house. My 11 year old autistic son loves to sit in it to do his schoolwork and uses it like his sensory swing. My 15 and 16 year olds also love to sit in it. All of them have fallen asleep in it at some point. I also get to use it and it is so relaxing. There is something about lightly swinging that just calms the body. As far as durability, this swing has been used a lot every day since October. It holds well over 200 pounds. The ropes are holding up nicely. The canvas seat is soft- not rough and itchy. The two throw pillows that come with it are meh, but we usually just sit on them piled in the bottom of the swing. You can use other pillows though. Some reviews have said it is not big enough for an adult. It is. This is not a full lounging hammock. It is a seat. I sit in it and my whole body from head to knees fit comfortably. Your legs do hang off as it isn’t a bed. Overall, I have been so impressed by this purchase and can’t believe it wasn’t very expensive. Oh and it has yet to make it to my porch- I may have to buy another one for out there. UPDATE seven months later: still the favorite and most used seat in the house. No, it did not ever make it outside to my porch. It is still holding up great- no rips or wearing down. Really impressed considering how much this seat is used every day! Update #2: a year later, still the favorite seat in the house, and yeah, never made it out to the porch :) And it is holding up great. We use it every day and there are no rips or tears or signs of it giving out. One of my favorite Amazon purchases! Update #3: still fave seat in our playroom. Never made it outside. But he held up very well for over a year and a half. The material shows signs of wear but no rips or tears. The ropes are showing a little wear, but surprisingly still in good condition.
