I had one in the early 80's when I still gun hunted. They made an archery adaptor so you could stand on it to shoot. Heavy, noisey, comfortable. Would definitly not recommend one for a bowhunter. My dad and brother tried for a while and gave them up for the original summits. New summit climbers with sling seat are plenty comfortable, light and fairly quiet.

They went out of business.  They can be found on the auction site.  C list is the best place to watch for good prices.

There are better stands available today.  I have one but no longer use it.  I find my Treewalker with the net seat to be just as comfortable.  Summits are as well.  For bowhunting, I use a Lone Wolf.  It isn't as comfortable but is much more user freindly.

My buddy had one for rifle hunting in 90s....it was comfortable but heavy as hell and noisy to set up...especially down here in our early season heat.

He said he could shoot his recurve but took a lot of maneuvering of the lounge...

I have a Summit with the air filled sling seat that is few years old and just as comfortable, 40lbs lighter, and almost whisper quiet compared to the Tree Lounge.

Plus, he would fall asleep he was so comfortable...could hear him snoring down the oak flat. LOL

My cousin bought one and said it was the most comfortable stand he ever used. He had to get rid of it though he never saw a deer out of it. I asked him why he said every time he would get in a tree in the afternoon the next thing he knew it was 9:00 at night (he would fall asleep).LCH

Get a millennium m-100 if you are going to set up and leave it.  You can sit all day in it.

I hunted in Alabama one year, and the guys there built their own. They built a ladder stand, and used some type of conveyor belt material for the seat. Don't think it would be easy to shoot a bow out of though.
And as was said, plan on taking a few naps, cause they are comfortable.

most comfortable stand I've ever had. and love the mounting system... grab an extra chain when you get it and makes it very easy to switch between a couple locations.

The company is out of business.
I have seen several on c list and bay has them and parts.
Best all day stand. With the bow hunter adapter it works great.

I have one I could part with if you are looking to buy one. It has the bow hunting adapter. Like the guys before me said, comfortable, safe, heavy, noisy to set up. I shot 5 bucks or so out of mine with a rifle, a couple bucks and some does with a bow. The property I used to hunt sold and I can't leave the stand set up so I don't use it to hunt state land. Let me know.
