Man, a lot of complaints about the tree lounge. With this many complaints I have halted my decision. In fact, I have changed my mind. Guess it doesn't seem to be worth it. I am going tomorrow to purchase an API hang on stand and a climbing stick/ I have not used one of these before but people tell me that they are safer and I can still maintain my mobility. Thanks for all of your feedback. I will keep you posted on the hang on in the upcoming days.
