Review by Cynthia R. Williams for Guide Gear® 16' Deluxe Ladder Stand Rating: Very nice, i put this up in a few hours by myself, it was tough but i got it up and it used every bolt and nut that came with the box. i used every single screw and nut, Safty first. if you dont use every nut and bolt, something wrong somewhere, and you might want to try to find out where they go, instructions are very hard to understand though, and it seams heavier than what they said it would be, it is no way 52 lbs, more like 100 some lbs. I dont use safty straps. i think they are worse off then to have them on, if another tree cracks and breaks, you want to get down in a hurey. i used ever rope and strap that came with the stand, it is very secure and it is not going anywhere, I accually feel safe in it. Very nice ladder stand...

Review by Visa for Guide Gear® 16' Deluxe Ladder Stand Rating: I purchased two 16ft Deluxe Ladder Stands and found them to be a very good product for the money. I found them to be well made and comfortable. I already have both set up at my club property and am sure they will be a great asset for the coming deer season. Thank you for a good product.

Review by Kevin S. Dahlen for Guide Gear® 16' Deluxe Ladder Stand Rating: This is one great value, and an very good vendor. Item shipped FAST! Shipping was not expensive at all, and it's heavy, maybe 75 pounds, not sure. Don't expect quality installation instructions. I'm very mechanical and this thing took me a while to figure out. All you get is a really small exploded diagram. Construction is excellent, in fact, way over-kill! Half the brackets and straps that are provided are not required to provide a very safe and stable tree stand. I suppose if your in some angled, twisty position, you'd need everything you get. Safety harness included as well to strap on your person and connect to tree. Only big downside, reason for 4 stars, unless you want to carry tools into the field the first section of the ladder must be connected to the chair section for transport, so you have to carry this massive, heavy beast in your vehicle. Only the bottom two sections of the ladder are truly field installable. Makes it harder to carry into the field as well, but hey for the price!!! WOW!
