Hammocks

Product Description: A cool drink a good book and a comfortable hammock is the perfect combination for a lazy summer day. Skilled Maya Artists of the Yucatan hand-weave this hammock in the rich blues and greens of Caribbean surf. Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable easy to maintain and may be stored just about anywhere. It easily packs for travel to the beach or lake. Extender ropes (measuring 1 meter) hammock hooks ( S hooks) and step-by-step instructions included for easy installation. NOTE: Because each is woven individually by hand measurements may vary by as much as ten centimeters. There may be slight color variations from hammock to hammock. Holds up to 450 lbs.
