Too heavy for one person to move

I assembled and put up this stand by myself. The whole process took a couple of hours to complete. I would recommend using two people if you have that capability. I used a rope hoist, which is a bit more cumbersome and time consuming. Overall assembly went very smoothly, as parts were well laid out and instructions were very clear. I've seen some earlier reviews that talk about poor instructions, but I did not experience that (updated perhaps). The stand itself is well built and once it was set up, I found that it was very quiet getting in out (no creaks or squeaks). The seat is very comfortable with the pad, but I also tried it without the pad and found that it was still reasonable.

The stand comes with two harnesses, which are pretty rudimentary, in my opinion. I would recommend buying a harness of better quality if you want one that is easy to put on and take off. I didn't take anything off for the harnesses because this is a review of the stand itself, not them.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with the product. I'm thinking about getting another because I really like the extra room that this gives me. Maneuverability is important because I have a re-curve crossbow and it requires room to move around.

Package was un damaged. All parts there. Instructions were easy to read. This unit is very sturdy. Well built and easy to assemble.
