Product was damaged in shipping however there was a very quick resolution which I was happy with. The box had a few rough days in the hands of our friends at USPS.Initial reactions are very positive on the stand quality, size and assembly requirements. Not a great option for hang and hunts but a VERY good option for a stand that will spend the entire season, or multiple in the same tree.Large, safe platform, nice footrest for long sits, big comfortable seat and the ratchet strap has loops to make setting up much easier. Stand isn't extremely heavy for the size but is build very durably. Very reasonably priced. Also, you only need to hook the cables to the platform upon receiving and you are ready to hit the woods with it.Rivers Edge customer service has gone above and beyond with an extremely quick response time. Highly recommended brand and tree stand!
