Lots of threads out there on this topic, but...


I OWNED a Tree lounge. I got it when I first started hunting. I loved it because I thought it was "cool". My buddy and I both got them. I was a beginner hunter who knew very little about hunting. I then learned how important it was to be quiet!!!!! The tree lounge IS VERY LOUD while climbing and decending. Setting up is a nigthmare. Again...it's loud, and you have these damn thumscrews to put in. It's more trouble than it is worth...at least in my opinion it was. I sold mine on ebay. I went out and investigated more and ended up with a summit. MUCH easier to set up. I can be up the tree by them time a person with a tree louge is connected to the tree and still on the ground, and I'd do it quieter. I feel very sdafe in the summit.

Pro's to the tree louge:

-VERY COMFORTABLE
-VERY SAFE (I felt safe anyway)

Cons to the TREE LOUNGE
-Loud
-loud
-loud
-pain to set up...and it's loud


Summit Pros
-very reputable company..not that tree louge isn't though
-Quiet as can be while climbing, decending, and settign up
-comfortable enough to sit for entire day
-I weigh 255 and can do it in mine. Not as comfortable as the tree louge but still comfortable...the tree lounge is a LAZY BOY. I fell asleep EVERY time I was in it.


The tree lounge is the most comfortable stand out there. However, for me, the trouble setting up and the noise wasn't worth the hassle. Summit all the way.
