About this CompanyAt Pawleys Island Hammocks, we’ve been crafting by hand since 1889!
Cap’n Josh, as he was known, was really only seeking a cool, comfortable, stable night’s sleep onboard his boat; he never set out to be in the hammock business! But soon enough, the inevitable happened: Friends wanted a rope hammock as good as the one he’d made for himself, and then it was friends of friends, and then folks Cap’n Josh didn’t know at all. In no time, family members were pitching in to help him meet the increasing demand. Jump forward just a few decades, and the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock had already become the standard by which other rope hammocks were being measured. Today, we get machine assistance with a few production processes, such as rope-making and woodcutting, to capture the precision required. At Pawleys Island, we don’t view the human part of the process merely as important; we regard it as essential. Handcrafting is who we are.

Great shopping experience. We had heard back with email question answered and went with the DuraCord as recommended.

The paperwork says the hammock may stretch 1-2 feet, at which point the attached chains will be long enough to reach the trees. I had to buy a couple Quick Links to add more chain. This 50" wide hammock replaces one of your 56" hammocks from 25+ years ago. So I am a loyal customer. Normally I hang the the hammock on the wall of a hall when not in use. My wife has a keen sense of smell and I have to keep the hammock in the garage for now. I expect this scent will fade after a few weeks outside. A shame you couldn't get an unscented treatment for the rope.

How can you say "in Stock" but then say 8 weeks to deliver! This original note was responded to by and the Hammock was delivered 4 days after the order. The website message just needs to be revised.

Excellent, strong, comfortable, & well built hammock! It costs a bit more than some of the lesser quality hammocks, but is leaps and bounds ahead of them in build and comfort. I look forward to purchasing more products from this company in the future. You can tell they put their name behind their products and that it matters to them!

The hammock itself is a good product but I don't understand why the company is such a cheapskate on mounting hardware. I bought my first Pawley's Island hammock and stand five years ago and decided it was time to replace the hammock this year. When it arrived, I looked forward to mounting the hammock on the stand and enjoying it right away on that beautiful Spring day. However, I quickly discovered there was a pair if tree-mount hooks in the box but no mounting hardware for the stand. This necessitated a trip to my local hardware store and the purchase of two "S" hooks for $3.99. I had just purchased a $240 product but the manufacturer was too cheap to include $4 worth of essential mounting hardware. What a joke!!

Had one of these at our lake cabin for many years. It was rarely taken down, and it lasted for many years. Bought a new one for home two years ago, and today ropes snapped and unraveled under my head as I was lying in it. I'm nervous about getting back in the hammock and very disappointed in its short life and lack of durability.

I had one Pawleys island rope hammock since 2010, it worked great and kids had a lot of fun. Finally, it wore out a few years ago. I bought a exact one from Home depot and it didn't last well this time. Ropes were worn out at the the bar. We still like the hammock but may give the polyester version a try.
Company Response
Dear Leo,
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the hammock purchased from Home Depot did not hold up as well as you were expecting.
Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department if you have any questions about the type of rope we use for our hammocks.
Kind regards,

My husband and I bought our first Pawley's Island Hammock many years ago. We enjoyed it and never had any issues. After 10 + years of use, we replaced it with the Deluxe Original Hammock. We've had that hammock less than 2 1/2 years and the Oak Spreader Bar broke in half. We called and they were less than helpful stating, "It's only covered for a year." I'm surprised their customer service was not willing to accommodate a client who has purchased over 5 of their hammocks for family members, and have promoted their product to many of our friends. This was obviously a faulty beam and I'm disappointed they are choosing to not stand behind their clients. We did our part and we are disappointed they aren't doing theirs. This leaves us in a quite bind to replace it.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
