I have had one for about 10 years now. They are by far the most comfortable stand in my opinion. They may be a bit heavy, but if you get a nice pair of carry straps for it, they aren't bad at all. I added some tape and foam to mine to silence it. I wish the bowhunter platform was a little bigger. I'll admit I've nodded off in my lounge a few times but I would have to say they are the safest stand on the market. I've sat in mine for up to 7 hours, no problem. I have taken 9 deer out of my Tree Lounge. 4 of my hunting buddies own Tree Lounges as well, so you can see they are very comfortable.
If you look around you can find the original model pretty reasonable. The new model is a little pricey. I'm sure you'll love once you get one.
