Yes this has been discussed before on this page , but not for a few years. I would like to buy one, does anyone know if there is still any availability and if so, where?

Saw them last Wednesday on our way to Bodega Aurrera. They also make chairs and do custom work.
Across the street from the soccer field, on Paseo del Deportista in front of the Government Building.

The “Government Building” or “prison” on the Boulevard Bicentenario aka Paseo del Deportista where the hammocks are made is La Academia de la Policía Municipal.

Nope. Their wood of choice is Bocote, a local one. They make at least three styles, we have the all wood ones on our deck. Adjustable for lounging.
We liked the chairs so much that we wanted a matching table. Gave the dimensions to Dona Teri, the woman who seems to be in charge of sales, and she called a couple of days later with exactly what we wanted, and it was beautiful!!! They had also made a couple of round ones we coveted but had no place for.
Keep the prisoners fed, buy their crafts!

Most of the hanging chairs available in Mexico don't work, they have too little distance from the seat to the wood on top. The one we bought from the prisoners is fabulous, and gorgeous too.
As you pass by, it's the white one on the top floor. The brown one is one that he made for me in 1977 and is still the bestest of the bestest!!!
