I've never built a wooden stand that I wouldn't be confident in hunting in at least 2 seasons(pressure treated or not). If not well built enough to last AT LEAST 2 seasons, wasn't built right in the first place!!!!!!!!

Save your money and get you a Millenium M-100 HangOn. Expensive but you will thank me later. Very light at 14lbs. I get the extra receivers and mount them and climbing sticks in the trees I want to hunt then carry my stand in.
By the way I have hunted in several wooden stands in my lifetime, probably not the wisest choice. Killed my first deer out of a wooden ladder stand.

We still use plenty of wooden stands. All we do is check all of them before season starts. Replace any damaged boards and tighten down any loose ones.

A friend handed me one last year. It was hard to put up cause it had loops that fit over a center bolt. I hung one that had clip that went on the side of upright rails and it was lots easier. So comfort is not only thing you should look at. If u can't hang it it don't matter how comfortable it is. I'm saving up to buy one and may get one of those that has the bracket that stay on tree. Y'all know about them, any good?

The millenium uses a receiver that stays on the tree, easy to hang and something you can sit in all day.
