I do very cumfy down side you are standing a bit out from the tree like with a climber so it is not for every tree also IMO seat could be nicer if it was higher.
Up side EVERY sit is a joy and the seat is very close to patio furniture in comfort I mean it.
Also the seat is nice and wide and if your wide to it can be a little difficult to get into but no big deal, not a cheap stand by any sight but it is well designed and well manufactured truely a well made well thought out AMERICAN product ra ra ra!!!(Can you tell I like mine?) Oh and yeah get extra chain on resepticals right from the statr you WILL use them and it will save on shipping.
