We put it together in the back yard after Christmas and my hubby loves it. He has several stands but this is his new favorite. I’llProlly get him another one next year too. This was less expensive than many others but after lots of homework, I settled on this one. I fish a lot, from a kayak and I’ve made lots of adjustments for it to be comfortable all day so, I wanted my hubby to be just as comfortable hunting as I am fishing. This stand is exactly what I was looking for. He can sit in this seat for hours and be comfy. The seat also lifts up an he can stand up to stretch his legs or take a standing shot. The foot rest is larger than others and he can have room to stretch his legs. I don’t have anything negative to say about this stand. Some say it’s a bit heavy but like my hubby said, once you get it in the tree, it’s worth it. It’s very sturdy and he will get several good years out of this stand. Buy it!! ??
