Excellent quality hammocks and even better customer service. We have one for ourself and have bought as gifts for others. No complaints — very comfy and durable!

Something about a colorful hammock makes me think of vacationing on a tropical island. Since I probably won’t be able to get to take that tropical vacation anytime soon, these hammocks are the next best thing. Not only does this tiny store have beautiful hammocks, but some unique home décor as well.
When you first walk into the store, the friendly salesperson asked if we needed any help. She promptly encouraged us to try out one of the swings or hammocks. With colorful hammocks hanging everywhere, sitting in one was quite inviting. They really make sure you try out one of the these while you’re here.
We also had to check out a small selection of paintings by a local artist while we were here. The salesperson helped us pick out the right beach-​themed painting. I think the salesperson went out of her way to help us here. I also think it’s nice that they sell items by local artists at this store.
This store is really fun. If you’re looking for a beautiful and relaxing hammock or swing, this is a great little shop!

SO MUCH FUN!!! :) Hubby and I chose to spend some of our little on Saturday afternoon just lounging in SWINGS N THINGS. The girl «manning» the store was super friendly, asking us to come in, sit on any swing /​hammock. Even after we left, she was super friendly in inviting us back. NO SALES PRESSURE AT ALL. LOVE!
The store has a wide assortment of swings, hammocks, foldable chairs, loungers… all your outdoor relaxation needs. It is a little expensive, but not unreasonably so. We currently have two hammocks we bought previously from another place, and this store gave us a good number of ideas on how we can hang them. =)
** I LOVE LOVE HAMMOCKS **
If you get a chance — stop by here. Fantastic way to pass the time … and make you want to buy a hammock. ^_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​^

These are great hammocks. I had one that lasted for 15 years! You can’t leave them out all the time or it will fade and weather. That seems obvious to me — but there is something about time with kids in the hammock… star gazing… that is priceless. Just got our second one and plan to make many memories in it as well! Thanks for a great product and friendly service!

Wish I could remember the guy’s name but he was extremely friendly and helpful. My roommate and I got a hammock as a hand me down from a couple friends that is actually brand new. We wanted to hang it outside in our new patio area and was looking for suggestions to see what would be a good place for it. All we needed were the proper hooks which they had there and was a cheap fix. Can’t wait to set it up!
Thanks again for your help!

Cool store in the seaport village area. They have hand made hammocks of various sizes and colors and styles. They are made in mexico via fair trade by hand. The product quality looks excellent and the staff is very knowledgeable about the differences between the different styles. They also have hanging chairs and a few other very neat products for sale. Prices are pretty good considering the area and we ended up picking up a very beautiful hammock for a little over $ 100. If you saw it you would not flinch. Great store.

We finally go a tight weaved hammock! I am so excited and can’t wait to get it home and try it out.
Bright colors and handwoven. It is 15 ft and can be thrown in a pillowcase and washed in the machine.
We’ve been talking about getting a hammock FOREVER. But haven’t found the one we wanted.
They had many to pick from as well as individual and couple swings.
They can be hung inside and out. The guy who helped us was pleasant and informative without being pushy.
Note to self: possible gift, order from website and ship

We are disappointed with the quality of the hammocks. My first one rotted in the sun and my second one is also destroyed.
Do not buy these hammocks they are pretty to look at but not at all functional.

Every time we go into this store, I am very impressed with awesome level of customer service! My two girls always insist we go in there and the staff is always so pleasant! On 2−5−11 we visited the store and Savannah was behind the counter, she was there last time we went. She remembered us! You need a swing? You better get it here!

We passed by on July 19th, 2010. Marci was working and she was so awesome! We loved her. She made it a fun atmosphere and with that… you can sell almost anything! There were a lot of cool things such as woodart made in the USA like Hawaii and other states. All the hammocks and hanging chairs were made in the USA except just one… it was made in China… ugh. Anyway, a cool shop and I recommend anyone to go check it out. Say hi to Marci for me!
Very reasonably priced!

Walking in this store, you are surrounded by hammocks and various wings hanging from all over the ceiling. You can find customers and workers alike relaxing in these overlooking the water. The staff is very down to earth and seems to love their job (I would too if I got to lay in a hammock all day). I didn’t get to check out their prices, I was just amazed at the variety they had. They have the traditional hammocks, international hammocks from Brazil, upright swings, camping hammocks, and even horse swings for the kiddies.
