The first time you lay your eyes on the Barrel Stave Hammock, you may think it looks uncomfortable due to the material. However, the use of staves is actually a smart move because the manufacturer takes advantage of its natural curve to fit the body. The item has been sanded down, smoothed and lacquer sealed for proper outdoor protection.

The Barrel Stave Hammock would be ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors and stay relaxed the same time. It doesn't take long to set up and it's the definition of comfort summer living.
