I got the Goliath. I love this stand. Quiet and light. Seems heavy duty and sturdy. I'm very happy with the stand.

The stand is straight forward for assembly. But the instructions are crap. Watch the YouTube video. The bungies on this new style summit concern me as they double as a seat back rest holder to a tree and they hold your stand together when transporting the stand backpack style. Seems like the bungies May wear out sooner than I would hope. The "teather" that holds the top platform to the bottom platform (to keep you from losing bottom while in tree) seems cheap. I'll probably replace with better rope.

Overall- great product. Absolutely recommend it. Aside from a cheap teather and possibly weak bungies - this thing is very heavy duty and quiet.

I'm new to the stirrup design and I question the longevity of the plastic. They make cloning the tree easy. I hated dealing with the older webbing and getting my stiff boot inside. The stirrup is much faster. As another reviewer mentioned - the padding does not wrap all the way around like it used to. Now I'll hve to get that foam pipe insulation and tape it on- to protect my gun from getting beat up.

The stand itself is very nice. Order showed up missing the required safety harness

Very nice stand . Summit has been around a long time and so have I lol . Climbing stands have come a long way in my 51 years . This stand does exactly what it supposed to and I'm a big guy so I needed the room and durability. 25 feet is my max and I feel completely comfortable in this deer stand . The only flaw which is very small is the zip up padding . They are very comfortable but the zippers will dangle as you are packing it in and out the woods . I used some Camo medial tape and fixed it but if you were to buy these separately it's $59 plus tax and shipping so for that kinda money I shouldn't have to tape anything. But it's very strong and I highly recommend it .

Purchased for my husband, he loves it. Easy to put together and well made frame. Summit stands are always good quality.

I am a first time tree stand buyer and owner. And i must say, i cant imagine it getting better than this one. Its super easy to
Set up, climb, and sit in. Im about 18 feet up in it right now and i couldnt feel more safe. I weight about 240 with about 20 pounds of gear. As for treestands go, i would imagine any extra room is not only hard to come by, but will make handleing and climbing that much more difficult. That being said, i have room to stand, sit and even turn around. Thats more then i could ask for. The harness gets bad reviews for good reason. Its not the easiest to get used to, but after fiddling around with it for about an hour and putting it on before i even left my house, its not all that bad and easy to get used too. The stand is perfect as it is, but the one mod i will make is to add a large carabiner or two to attach my backpack, bow and my coat to if need be. Ohhh. And cut the tags off the seat. They make crumbling sounds. I highly recommend this stand... GET IT!
