Just got their 2-man stand for my dad and set it up a couple of weeks ago. It was $89 and is a good stand, more of a 1.5 person stand that's perfect for 1 person and your gear. It's solid and sturdy, if there is a downside it is that the ladder is steep and the shooting rail is too low for most adults. We wedged a section of wood under both sides of the adjustable shooting rail to raise it up. It is a temporary fix that is very sturdy and works surprisingly well.

If we get another it'll be one of these.
 
Most 2 man stands seem to have this problem, I always have a shooting stick on my pack after bow season and I've found they work really well to raise the rail on stands. Just extend the bottom portion out a little so it sticks through platform and put the fork under the rail, raise to desired height, and lock it in place. The shooting stick was only like 11 bucks at Walmart
 
Agree the shooting rail is too low -- during muzzleloader I squatted down on the platform to use the shooting rail ... ...

Awesome idea -- use shooting stick to raise rail!!
