I’m 60ish and take more seriously a fall from 20 or so feet from a tree stand. I wanted a sturdy and safe stand. The system was assembled in the field. The bolts were different sizes and somewhat difficult to differentiate from the instructions. I should have had a measuring tape. The exact Bolts MUST go in the exact locations to assemble correctly (lesson learned). I could assemble alone, hoisting this tall and heavy stand took three 60ish people to accomplish. Once vertical and locked on to the tree and all attachments secure this is a very sturdy stand. I felt confident as I made my way up the ladder and onto the stand. The seating is very comfortable and the stand area is spacious. I felt extremely confident and secure while in the stand. No wobbling, no shooting restrictions and no noise as I moved around the stand. I think older hunters would feel safe in this stand certainly has enough room for my grandson to sit next to me during the hunting season. This hefty stand deserves an A+ on my risk assessment. Two safety harnesses and tree safety straps that came with the product were ok but I upgraded to better harnesses with egress safety ropes.

Great directions for the most part, Assembly was pretty much trouble free. Mine didn't come with advertised accessory hooks or cups holders, but that was remedied by seller, so happy now.
For putting it up on the tree....3 men minimum, unless special equipment is used. We tried 2 adults and a 12 year old and couldn't do it. Used ATV winch and truck and it went up well. You will have to reposition the stand once upright because the bottom of the ladder must be moved away from the tree a bit.
Ratchet straps that come with it are bare minimum. A perfectionist will want to replace them after the first season with something better. Location of the upper most strap is not clear in the instructions, but I guessed correctly. Mfr had a picture on the website that shows location for that.
Shooting rail is adjustable and should be useful, just do not lift or pull by that or it might get messed up. Seats are pretty comfortable, unless you want to sit in the center. There are two separate seats, so middle sitting is a no go comfort wise.
It feels very stable, with a slight but of movement, but nothing to worry even the most timid...

Let me begin by stating the fact that I love this tree stand. It's sturdy, well built, relatively easy to assemble (even though the directions weren't always as clear as they could be), and it's comfortable. What I hate is the way everything is simply thrown into a big oversized box without even the most basic packaging consideration allowing items to rub and bang together during shipping, chipping paint, scratching components and tearing holes large enough in the corners of the box for me to actually stick my hands through. Not surprisingly there was a piece missing preventing me from completing the assembly within my previously planned timetable. Someone needs to educated this manufacturer that no matter how good the quality of the product, missing parts upon arrival will ALWAYS disappoint the customer. I own a large tract of land in Maine in the middle of White Tail country and I have plans to add more stands with time. I'd have to think twice before ordering this model again which is a real shame.

My review basically mirrors what most everyone else has already said: This is a fantastic and well built stand.
The only complaint I have is how it's packaged. It's not ideal for shipping and should probably be shipped in two different boxes that are made of thicker cardboard. Because it's so heavy duty, the packaging needs really to be addressed. When I received it the box it was beat up really bad due to it's size and weight. Parts were sticking out of holes in it and I was concerned that parts were missing- and there was one missing(a seat bracket that should have been in bag or box not just laying in the box). Not a huge deal as I was able to fabricated another and I will contact X-stand to try to get another to replace later.
As far as design goes: This is second to none. This stand has four rachet straps to secure it and this thing isn't going anywhere. The tree will fall before this does.
Assembly will takes some time. Not counting the fabricated piece, it probably took me a little over and hour to assemble by myself. There are quite a few washers and bolts that need to be sorted. The pictures didn't exactly match all the bolts but it...

in the woods with all of the little screws. Once installed it is comfortable for 2 adults. My husband is a big guy at almost 300 lbs and 6’2” and I’m 5’4” and 150. The stand doesn’t lean to the heavy side when we are both in it. Even in a heavy wind these stands stay put.
