I have a ladder I bought and extension for and its 20' to my foot rest. I've had it for about 7 years(I think its a Rivers Edge) and its anything but junk. I used a little bit of carpet and some zip ties to make it completely quiet. I like to use it in the mornings and my climber in the afternoons. I've never found a comfortable chain on stand at 6'3" 290lbs.
Depending on how where you put the stand decides if it stands out or not. I have it set in between a double white oak, I have of course had deer spot me but it was due to my movement more then anything.
