we have purchased 5 of the quad pods from Academy, the stand portion preforms very well. The blind they sell for it is too short, poor quality, will not last a season. We have used Rivers Edge heavy blinds and the hard plastic from Orchelens on them. The Rivers edge are beast, but the pack rats and squirrels seem to want to sample them, this is the first year on the plastic. Remove the seat in off season the pack rats love them..... if they have several they will mark down after season, but a good value at $300, the blinds at orchelen often 25% off
