I think it's like most things, you generally get what you pay for. Generally.

I like them, but I'm not picky when it comes to treestands. I need something safe that will get me 15-20 ft in the air and have enough room for me to stand on.

If you want comfort or other bells & whistles, this stand isn't for you.

I would have to disagree with this statement. I mean there are times and products where cheap prices does mean cheap quality. However, last season I purchased a $35 hang on stand from sportsmanguide, I ran out of stands and it was going to hang in a spot that I was not even sure I would make it to so I did not want to hang an expensive stand. Wow, the platform was huge, it was simple to hang and very comfortable. I ended up order a dozen more after only a few sits in then thing.

So to the OP, take a look at the stand. It may very well serve your needs just great and do so at a fraction of the costs of other stands.

i own about 4 of them, and I love them. The platform is not huge, but they tighten very securely to the tree, and you can't beat the price. I just bought another one about a month ago.

Seats are comfortable, but the platform is a little small. I have 2 of them that I bought post-season (only $24 then). If I needed another hang-on I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
