What is in the garbage can?
My knife is so sharp it cut the sixth finger off my right hand! On the plus side, Inigo Montoya no longer hunts me.

Neo, take a deep breath. You could have at least salvaged the fabric rather than just pitching it out. Or called DD, or sold it to one of us.
I don't even notice the length of the hammock because of the width, and I am taller than you by 3 inches. I usually lay diagonally in mine, due to the added width. Maybe your comfort in the hammock was due to the sag - it hangs differently than other hammocks, and just like any hammock, the sag needs to be played with to find your sweet spot.
As far as the quality - Nick did say they were 2nds, and that the tabs may have sewing issues. I wish you had taken pics of the failures b4 you pitched the hammock out - it would have been very informative for the rest of us to see what to watch for.
I, for one, will inspect all the seams and tabs before hanging, and resew the tabs b4 putting any stress on them if they show any sign of improper sewing or weakness. I may even sew a grosgrain strip the length of the tabs for reinforcement if it seems to be an issue.
I know you are mad about the situation, but any manufacturer can have some defects, and these were sold as 2nds, not as pristine, perfect merchandise. Hopefully nobody else has these issues you reported, or has been too colored by your report to give a good hammock a try. Yes, the DD is a good hammock, despite your report, and is a very comfortable hammock. I have no issues with my first one, and expect no issues with the new one I'm getting from the group buy. If I do, I will report honestly and descriptively on the issues, with pictures of the failures. And I will contact DD about the hammock in question if it came to that, and I would expect a response from Nick in return. But again, I expect no issues because I already have a DD. It's not my main hammock (that is a Clark,) but it is a great hammock for the price, and I have no reservations about the quality or material used in the DD.
Okay. Since all the hammocks are paid for an shipped I'm going to close this thread. Any further discussion on DD Hammocks purchased in the group buy can go in this thread.
When you get you hammocks please reply to the above thread an let me know. Thanks to everyone who participated in the buy!
