I use a Big Starr made by North Starr It is a nice and lite 19lbs I believe yet very roomy at 23inchs wide on the inside of the climber. I also like fact that the stand only cost me 199$ at cabelas. which is 100 bucks cheaper than anything else out their that would fit me 6foot 6 and 310 pounds.The only real beef I have is I wish the seat was a little more comfortable, but its not that bad .I really dont like the sling seats that the other brands use either.
