Check out the Summit line of stands, They are hard to beat.

I personally use Gorilla stands. I never found a faster more comfortable stand. I've been in a bunch and this is the easiest. You'll notice a lot of guys on Outdoor channel using them. Best stand for the money if your not using a climber!

I love my Summit as well. Quiet, super strong, and stable.

if you want a climber i have a summit that works very well. and one of my friends has an api climber that he likes very much.

I have a few climbers - two Loggy Bayou's and a Summit. I use each for different situations.

The Loggy one-piece is super light, but small and dangerous. You have to hug the tree and pull yourself up. I'm in decent shape, so it's no big deal - I use it for deep woods hunting, where packing a 20 pound stand is out of the question.

I have a Loggy QuickDraw (now known as the Illusion or Vision or something). It has a shooting rail and is wayyyy comfy. It's just too heavy for bowhunting, and I don't like a railing for archery.

The Summit Bushmaster is my favorite archery stand. No railing, but super quiet, super fast and super comfy.

My next stand will be another Summit. They're pretty user-friendly.

Simply put, one word... SUMMIT!

Lonewolf Treestands, by far the best I've used them all, and if you want a light, fast set up, this is the way to go.

The Old Man stands are great, best place to put your butt since the lazy Boy.

i have a new buckshot magnum on the board ill let go for $300 buckshot stands are by far the best all welded construction, no bolts like alot of the stands, 300lb capacity, extra large platform thank you
