RE: Which tree stand?
The Tree Lounge is a nice idea, but there is just too much going on for me there. I purchased one for last season and sold it about half way through. I got sick of screwing and unscrewing knobs. The accessories jack the price up pretty good too. Just something to think about.
Also think about messin around with those knobs in frigid temps. You' ll just wish your fingers would fall off.
It' s not made for short people either.
