Good feedback guys.
- I contacted the local Dick's store & they don't have any ladder stands in stock, so that's no longer an option.
- The Gear Guide ladder stand at Sportsman's Guide noted above would be bought by me signing on as a member for $29.99.
- That would reduce the ladder price by $11.
- I have a $5 coupon that can be applied against the cost of this item.
- The normal shipping of $14.97 would be waived, but I would have to pay $20 for a heavy/bulky item so I don't think they would completely waive the shipping for an order over $100.
- They would give me (2) $10 coupons for future use as a member.
- They would apply my membership to an item price now on back order and
- Combine the shipping to save a bit more.
- All in all it would cost ~$144 (not including the (2) $10 coupons)and I would have a year's membership. This would be only $4 more than the same price I would pay if I bought this outright as a non-member, so I end up with a one-year membership for $4.
I think I answered the valid comments about the cost side of purchasing this item. However, I'm hoping some current, or previous users would comment, as I would still like to know what your opinion is of the stand itself, mainly the quality of construction.
More comments would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
