So far I just received this and it appears to be constructed fine. Now some people were complaining about the upper bracket concave and convex. The one I received is correct and concave, so if this was an issue it has been resolved. Overall, it appears fine and I'll be using it next week.

The platform works but the teeth on it are slippy...most guys are changing them out for better after market ones....but since it's the cheapest on the market it's good for a beginner

Bought this as my first platform, it needed a lot of mods to make it work good. 1. Slippery and noisy when wet - grip tape and paracord wrap 2. Top tree grip - JUNK doesnt grip tree, replaced with a better quality one that actually works 3. Side stability - included strap sucks, not very stable with side pressure replaced with crank style strap. Overall probably would not buy again since it didnt work that well out of the box.

Like the platform, but I can’t understand the design of the top bracket curving away from the tree. Or why it hasn’t been corrected when this is a known issue. Had to buy an aftermarket bracket to fix it.
