It's basically a hammock seat, but it comes with a footrest and it's made of a pretty hearty feeling canvas. This is a little sunfaded and has some small holes, but it still seems like it's got potential to be a very comfortable place to settle in for an afternoon. This is missing the three dowels that give it a bit more structure, but you could probably find a short piece of railing here to replace them with, or you could grab some dowels at your local hardware store.
