The stand is light and the seat is pretty comfy. if your bow hunting you have to shoot while seated which doesn't bother me. Being a tripod it is kinda hard to hide yourself with out a lot of tree triming but its still not bad. I had a fork horn buck start feeding right under the stand one evening. Over all if you are not sure where to put a stand and the trees are on the smallish side in your area this is not a bad stand at all. I would reccommend it for sure. If you have trees that you can hang a stand or place a ladder stand I would say do that but if those options are not there or you want to be able to move the stand easily then this is a great option. Kinda pricey but I like it and it packs in the back of my truck fully assembled.
