Have a few places in Illinois i would like to have an additional stand. Ordered a few on clearance. 
Ladder is narrower than seat. Seems to be the trend now. Still not too bad. width inside rails 17 5/8"
Step height 13 1/4" between rungs so 14 3/4" maybe
Took a bit to put together. Not too difficult just still gimped up so mostly sitting in a chair rolling stand around instead of leaving it mainly stationary and me moving around it.
Seems to be roomy but can't exactly put it up and climb currently so won't test for a bit.
One tip. I struggle with the mesh seat install on all these type stands where it slips over upright tubing. If you loosen the bolts holding the tubing to the frame it slides over easily. Just be sure to retighten.
I typically have to take apart something because I put together wrong. No exception today. Shooting rail is upside down. May still work that way though.
When I get ready to do the other 2 @Jim Thompson could you possibly send Derek over to mix up all the bolts for me? And maybe Bubba to sort them back out? Thanks brother.

Gonna be great to have some new “seats”!
Way to go!
We added two when we visited and want to do two more in September
Amazing how hunters fret over where to sit!

Man he dumped screws and nuts all over the place and mixed them up from different ladders.
Bad bad plan as you remember

Yall need to monitor big boys drankin when building stands. Fellas from the lodge told me theres no way in Hades they'd climb a stand he put together. Talked about him telling someone to hunt his stand once. Got there started climbing and started noticing excess noise and movement. It was missing half a dozen bolts.

That’s because they were lost in the giant pile of garbage he he started with

Not sure what you had to give for those…but Muddy has what looks very similar on sale for $139 right now..fyi. Not familiar with them but seemed like a pretty good deal!

They were 118.23 with free shipping. In the hunting gear deals sticky at top of the page. Might want to post the Muddy sale there as well. Put a few Muddy stands together last year. All the parts were bagged for each step and labeled such as step 1, 2, etc correlating to the instructions. Very organized. Best I've seen.

$118.00 seems a pretty good deal to me!
