Rivers Edge RE553 Traveler Seat, Black

I’m a tough critic, but when you’re in a stand a lot you have time to assess and critique something how can you blame me. I’m 6’1” 217 lbs and initially upon installing the stand, I was stoked. It was dead quiet. If it’s quiet I’ll suffer the pain of not comfortable. The thing is because it’s not ideally comfortable I tend to stand up a few times and do calf raises (subtly that is) to keep my legs from falling asleep. Over the course of the first few times using it, it began to develop metallic pops when shifting weight both standing or situating oneself for a shot. I believe this is from lack of weld points on the expanded diamond mesh. I’ve since put a cut out board on top of it and has resolved the issue but I lost quite a few opportunities over the season because of spooking deer with the metallic popping sounds. The deer I have gotten out of it where all 40 yards and further out. At the same time it’s an inexpensive stand so you get what you pay for. I like to have tons of stands to play the wind so I try not break the bank.

This product is easy to hang, lite weight making it the perfect stand to pack in and hang with an existing set. The stand is really quite in both hot and cold weather. I did not give the stand 5 stars for comfort because it is short and hard a tall individual to sit comfortably in it. In my opinion, this stand is not one you would want to do all day sits in, but it is perfect if you want a lite weight, quite and easy to hang pack in stand.

I shot my first buck out of this stand. It is easy to put up once you figure it out. However, I have had struggles with the seat staying on and the lock nuts not locking, but I replaced them and things have gotten better.

It was great for the whole month I had it! I used it maybe 10 times and then it was stolen so now it's great for some dirt bag in Darke County, Ohio

easy to set and comfortable

Incredibly built stand for the price
