I own a tree lounge and have been very very impressed with how comfortable it is. I can stay longer and the stand absolutely makes no creeks or pops after you've got it set up. The only draw back that I can find is that the stand weighs more than some of the others. They have come up with a new model that is supposed to be lighter than the previous models. IMO it's the best stand that I've ever owned. If you can stay longer you see more deer. Check them out at www.treelounge.com
