Rivers Edge RE656, Retreat 1-Man Ladder Stand, Black

Assembly instructions had errors on bolt sizes and were not always easy to follow. Wrenches that were described as provided were missing. A lot of time is required for assembly. Some holes were not completely drilled. I had to use a punch to clear and properly size many of the predrilled bolt holes. Arm rest pieces didn’t align with the frame and had to be put in a vice and bent so alignment of bolt holes was possible.I haven’t erected it in the woods yet but aside from the instruction difficulties and assembly headaches the stand does appear to be decent and what I wanted.

Not clear directions on how to tie off the long X straps and why the end of the straps have dog leash style loops. Ended up just using plenty of ratchet straps.

Stand is reasonably comfortable, Some of the knobs broke just hand tightening them.It does creak a lot while shifting positions, or standing.

Took a little time to put it together,it is a lighter than I expected for it's size, but that's a good thing.

Missing parts and the instructions are a little messed up/ confusing. Customer service was great when I called for the missing parts.

Fasteners were missing

The assembly instruction were terrible and steps were left out. The straps for the ladder too the tree are garbage they don’t tighten without breaking. Not impressed at all for the money I spent on this stand for almost 200 bucks I expected a lot better.

Well made. Sturdy, no movement once locked down. Comfortable seat. Easy assembly. Good coating for corrosion protection.
