BIG GAME 2-Person Ladder Tree Stand for Deer Hunting, Flex-Tek Seats, 18' Tall

I needed a double stand so I could hunt with my son but didnt have $300+ so I rolled dice on this one and it is awesome! It isnt going to be a luxury stand by any means and some components are a touch cheesy but for the price it goes together easy and works great for us thats why it got 5 stars! Seat was tricky to put together and is extremely weird how they have it and 11mm wrench is really weird for assembly but those are my only real complaints, but again for under $200 its a 5 star product all day. would definitely purchase again!!!!

I give it 4 stars simply for the price. I couldn’t find anything close to $150 that was a two man stand. You can’t beat the price.Now is it the quality of my rivers edge two man stand? Not by a long shot. But the rivers edge was almost triple the price of this stand.Was it a pain to put together…..pretty much. Directions were pretty poor and none of the parts are labeled. The hardware is all thrown into a bag and left to you to decode. I matched all the bolts up with the chart they give you and marked each pile with painters tape accordingly to the letter they call them. This made assembly better as I could simply look at what letter they told you to use for the bolt and take one out of the pile that I had marked.There is a bar which runs right down the middle of the seat which makes it pointless for one man but I purchased it to hunt with my kids so I will seldom use it alone. When I do I will take a seat cushion to sit on.The metal is definitely a lighter gauge than a lot of my ladder stand so I don’t expect it to last near as long as others. All in all if your looking for a two man stand for under $200 I would recommend purchasing this stand just be aware of the negatives of it and remember you only paid $150 for it.

This is a great tree stand and I’m definitely gonna buy a couple more. I assembled the tree stand in about an hour by myself. After putting the stand up I was very impressed with how sturdy it is. The only down side is the bar that supports the center of the seat. You can’t sit in the middle comfortably.

I have used and assembled many, many ladder stands. This particular stand is unusual in that it is, by far, the the worst ladder stand I have ever used.To start with, there were missing bolts and fasters.Then a nice cut on my hand where the welding wire was not trimmed properly. There's nothing like a little piece of wire stuck in my hand to make me feel good. I found that little jewell during assembly. So I got some wire cutters and start trimming all the welding wire that they did not cut off. JUNKThen I tried try to figure out the directions. Just throw them out. Phrases like "Must be attached to receivers on the middle ladder section." What receivers? Is there a detailed picture? No. Is there an obvious attachment place? No. Is there something in the parts list? No. Did I eventually figure it out? Maybe. Either way, it's indicative of very poor attention to detail. Later, when I first climbed the stand, I found the last wire stub I didn't cut off, because I managed to stick it into my finger. It's always nice to get hurt by a tree stand, and instills a lot of confidence in the rest of it.There are these little "safety sleeves" that fit over the leg joints. You and the deer will never forget they are there because every time you climb or descend the the ladder you will hear them rattle and clank. All the way up and all the way down. So get some electrical tape and tape them quiet. Why are they on there anyway? I've NEVER seen these devices on a higher quality ladder stand. Is it because the joints aren't strong enough without them? Thats reassuring. JUNK.The ratchet strap is about the lowest quality I've seen in awhile. It looks like it came from the lowest bidder. One look at it, and I knew I had to go back and put a real ratchet strap on. CHEAP JUNK.Once I finally got in in the field, and placed agains the tree, which wasn't easy due to the 5 foot too short pull up straps, I climbed up and was pleasantly surprised to find that since it was a two man ladder stand, they had put a metal cross bar right down the middle of the seat, so if ONE person wanted to sit in the middle then they were going to get a steel bar right between the old butt checks. Needless to say, very UNCOMFORATBLE. So the only option is to sit on either side of the cross bar, so now instead of one person siting in a spacious two man stand, due to the crossbar, I have a cramped 1 man stand, because I have to either sit on the left or right hand side. If I want to sit in the middle, I better bring a hemorrhoid cousin. WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE.To top it off, the folding top bar is too low to safely fold out of the way when exerting or exiting. So it has to be down when getting in and our, so I have turn contort and enter the stand by crawling under it, which kind of defeats the purpose of a movable ladder stand. POOR DESIGN.I would send this back to Amazon for a refund, but I'm not going to waste any more time taking it down and disassembling it, reboxing etc. I've already spent too much time messing with it, assembling it, getting stabbed by it, trying to figure out the directions, wasting time putting it up in a tree just to find its the most uncomfortable stand I've ever sat in. I think I will just drive by it with the tractor, rip it off the tree and throw it in the lake for a fish attractor. Thats about all it is good for.

Roomier than most

Pro’s: seat itself is fairly comfortable, it’s very lightweight so easily put up by 2 guys, seems sturdy and I’m a bigger dude...no squeaking in standCon’s: designed for a middle schooler...no really. If you’re taller than like 5’10, you’re going to be crunched in the stand. I’m 6’2, 225, and this thing is way too small for me. No way I’m getting another person in it...probably wouldn’t even feel comfortable bringing my small boy with me. The back bar is extremely uncomfortable, will definitely need a noodle or something to wrap around. Drop bar for a gun isn’t that far out in front of you...so resting the gun itself on it probably not an option (again if you’re shorter, this might be better). Have a well lit and elevated work surface to put it together...was a pain.Value: price is good, but time will tell if the cons outweigh the price.

used this for hunting in florida and so far it works great, had 2 people in it for 5 hours without a problem, just know it takes about an hour to set up so don't just bring the box out to the field and expect to hunt right away.

First off let me start by saying horrible directions. Secondly, it’s very cheaply made. I’m 6 foot 4” 280 pounds the ladder is built for a guy half my size they want you to secure the ladder to the tree with the tree hugger and rope, I had to add at least five ratchet straps to the stand in order to make it safe to climb up in it. I’m still undecided about hunting out of it. Good thing I have a stand within a couple hundred yards of this one I wouldn’t recommend this stand to anyone it’s cheap n unsafe.
