Good overall condition, showing areas of wear throughout consistent with use and handling over time. Cotton exhibits bright pigments, some areas with slightly looser weave, a few strands loose from knots, as well as some staining and toning from use. Wooden elements retain moderate sun fading to underside, as well as an area of filler to one rod. Hammock presents well and is ready for use. As shown, hammock hanging measures approximately 57" x 111" x 54" with a height of 26" from seat drop to the floor.
