This was an interesting thread. It started out with all kinds of positive glowing feedback for tree lounge and ending with everyone being pretty upset with T/L. I'm brand new to hunting and stands and all that stuff...I assume this is the website of the company everyone is talking about?

http://www.treelounge.com/promo_details_04.htm

What's the current status there? Is 200 a great price for the basic tree lounge? Is the customer service better now? Will the thing slip on me? I weigh almost 290. Will this thing even hold me up? Do I need to go on a diet? YES!

Thanks,

Matt

Matt the Treelounge is rated for I believe 280 pounds .The newly revised Treelounge should be like the originals were. They went back to the squared material.I know they've been running a sale lately for 200.00 like you mentioned.If you're set on a Treelounge call and order it asking questions first.Making sure you are not buying the new version with the semi rounded extrusions. Those were the death traps the previous owner redesigned.The original owners are back and the new versions have been discontinued.I have a couple of the JRH Sport Gunslinger's They have a 350 pound model. You can call them and ask for a brochure.After getting my Gunslingers my Treelounges very seldom get used.IMHO a much nice stand for around 250.00 ( + -)

I hear you Soark,I might end up selling the newly revised one. It's never been put on a tree .It is nice when I'm going to be there for a week or so and have 4 climbers out.
