You’ve swum your laps, played your tennis sets, ran your miles or rounded that 18th hole. Now, it’s time to kick back. Hayneedle, the online source with a wealth of outdoor-furniture options, has the perfect reward. The Island Bay 13-foot Unwind Quilted Hammock with Faux Woodgrain Steel Stand is as sturdy as it is stylish, holding up to 450 pounds. We love the arc of the stand, available in cherry or mahogany, adding an elegant, decorative touch to your patio or backyard. From $287, including stand.
