Other than how it showed up, destroyed box, I am completely satisfied with this purchase. Fit, form and function are top notch for a product made in china. The next test will be in the field for hunting season.

Bad= The connectors from ladder stand to back legs both are not completely lined up so it is tight getting them put in place. The back bracket when broke down has two hole so you can hook it to them when the stand is in roll mode. The holes are not lined up so I attached the bracket to the top hole and just strapped it down so it would not move. I would get a small rubber hammer just incase you have trouble getting the braces put on. Like everyone else, my box looked like it was pushed off the truck while going down the road but thankfully everything was there and not bent.

Good= The stand if very comfortable and feels very stable when sitting in it. I like that I can move it around when wanting to try out new places and if I'm going to hunt different property. with the seating I am able to sit for a longer period of time. The stand can take about ten minutes to put up and break down which is a plus.

wish= The stand comes with some ball straps so you can strap things down when moving it but these straps are a little small. It would be nice if they were pull straps coated it rubber to keep noise down. Would be nice if the stand had a shooting rail and some how be able to put a blind skirt around you to hide movement when needed. It would have also been nice if it was set up to where you could pull it behind the four wheeler. I've seen the pictures from other viewers and I'm going to see if I can replicate what they did.

The stand in general is great I like it and think this stand could go far if they put more time, replacement parts and design into it.

When I got the stand I was a little concerned when it came time to assemble it, but it was really not bad at all. All of the nuts and bolts are packaged together for each step of the assembly.
I am 278 pounds and felt really secure getting in to it. When I broke it down for traveling I was really impressed with how easy it is to move around. the wheels work really well and it is effortless to push around. Highly recommended.

Thanks

Received purchase. while assembling was unable to insert bot lower support brackets into upper brackets as instructed. The tolerance was too tight. I forced the parts together as best I could but was unable to insert deep enough to align bolt hole. was then unable to separate the parts. Called Hawk, they do not make or spply replacement parts. Try to assemble these parts before getting ot of box and assembling entire pod. They will accept a full return but turn around is not till December 2020. Other than that, nice product.

I love the stand, easy assembly and very stable. 1 thing missing, they don't offer a shooting rail for a rest and to hang blind material from. With a little redneck ingenuity and a old deer cart I found in the barn, problem solved. It will fold up with the stand by undoing 2 speed nuts. Also added a Muddy Rifle/Bow holder, the tripod they make is great, with my add ons, it's now perfect.
