Big Game Striker XL Ladder Treestand 17.5 Foot Tall with Flip Back Seat, Padded Armrests, Deep Foot Platform, Ideal for Hunting and Shooting, Black

Solid and comfortable. Fairly easy to put together. A little scuffed upon arrival but nothing some spray paint can’t cover.

Most comfortable stand I have set in. Not the easiest getting up but once it is you can sit all day in it. My wife and I will be hunting it together this gun season. Railing is pretty tall to bow hunt out of but I kept it raised behind the seat.

Stand is great once up. Pretty heavy as expected . I haven’t reviewed more than a couple of things in the last 25 years of adulthood. Ordered two. One arrived as expected. Second took 2 weeks longer than anticipated. Major complaint is packaging. Every part has multiple places where the coating has scratched off. I’m not talking about a minor scratch. Aesthetics not of concern, but will likely cause early rusting. Second box had obviously fallen apart with the amount of tape placed. Luckily, all parts are accounted for. Great stand for price. A few extra dollars for better packaging would go a long way. Hope this helps. Happy hunting.

I have used Big game treestands for many years and have always found them very comfortable and very sturdy. I was excited to receive a two person stand from a company I trust. Unfortunately I received the opposite of what I expected. After opening the box and laying out the parts I opened the assembly instructions only to find that they were not for this model treestand. I tried to call the company and was on hold for a very long time. While on hold, I searched for the manual and was able to download a .PDF copy to work from, so I just hung up with customer service. After that I began construction only to find that I was missing a bolt. Once I got to the seat a realized that the seat stops were wider than the the seat frame so the seat, when folded down, falls right through the stops. After spending nearly $300 dollars on a well known brand of treestand I expected a quality, reliable treestand but now I have poorly engineered treestand with a ratchet strap holding the seat together that I really don't have confidence in. As a Design Engineer myself, I must say I am Very Disappointed!!!

Package was complete, instructions were good

When our tree stand arrived all the instructions, hardware and straps were missing. The company's customer service responded immediately to my request. They sent all the missing parts that same day.The tree stand seems to be sturdy and comfortable.

The stand is well-made. It was easy to put assemble and the instructions are easy to follow. You’ll definitely want a buddy to help install it, but it goes up pretty easy. The seats are comfortable and gives plenty of room. The only thing I don’t like is that the rail is too high shoot a compound bow from a seated position. Overall, it’s a good deal. I’ll probably get another one.

ladder started to bend when putting in tree. Only ended up using 2 sections of ladder
