This blind is everything it was advertised. I am 6'6" and I can draw my bow and stand in it. I read numerous reviews before buying from Poorfish(?)which was fast delievery and I did have a difficult time packing it up until I searched Youtube for a video demonstrating how to fold up. It makes all the difference and it is a very quick process. The key is to watch video a few times and practice before going out to field. Would highly recommend this blind!!

This blind goes up very easily with tons of interior room. The backpack straps on the case are important because even folded this is good size and a bit heavy (over 20lbs). My husband is 6'3" and he and our two kids were comfortable in it all day in the woods.

This is the biggest ground blind of the 'pop-up' style that I've seen yet, and it's worth it. The camo pattern is outstanding, blending into the corner of a stand of hardwoods perfectly. I set it up at noon, and then moved to a different location to let the woods settle down, but the wind shifted, and I went back to the just-set blind. Within four hours of setting the blind up, I'd shot a doe from it.
My only complaint is that the seams are under such tension that they show pinholes which leak in anything from a drizzle to a downpour. And a warning- because of it's size and surface area, the tie-down ropes and pegs are NOT just for show - use them.

This blind is well made & very, very roomy. It held up for a week of 35+ mph winds this November. I doubled the length of the tie down lines they provide to give it more stability, and it stayed in place with no damage. I'm 6'3" and can stand in it with no trouble. One review claimed a 6'6" archer used it, but he must have been standing in a 6" hole when he shot. I had to bend at the knee a bit to shoot, and this summer I will practice shooting my bow from a chair, or I may try to alter the top of the triangle windows for the 3" extra height I need. However, anyone 6' or less will have no trouble with it, and for gun hunting, it would be superb. It is more than worth the money and should last me for years. Look for the hook with a rubber ring on it in the package. It's a hook for your bow, and it comes in handy. Buy a package of parachute cord from an Army/Navy store to lengthen the tie down lines.

This is my second Penthouse blind.....the zippers in the first blind failed and appear to be less durable than those in this newer Penthouse. How long they last remains to be seen since I just used the new Penthouse for the first time. The deer did not appear to notice the blind.

They need to reinforce the loops for the stakes that hold the blind and wind tie downs to the ground. They are not heavy enough.

I like the blind poles that go from ground to ground in each corner of the blind and this appears to be an improvement in this most recent version of my Penthouse. I also like the extra material in the corners of the blind.

My biggest complaint to date is the fact that the tie down loops need to be reinforced.

This is my second time around with this brand, I was very happy with my first ground blind from Ameristep. Their pruducts are of high quality will last you for years.

this is a large blind not hard to put up and tear down.....
it seats 4 people comfortably and with space left....

This is an excellent blind for concealment and room and what not, however, all the stores in my area that carry it, have one false statement on the box; it claims to have a "zip in-zip out floor" and it does not. Cabela's even states this on their website. I was truly disappointed in this, as the floor would have been an excellent feature. But regardless, as stated, it's still an excellent blind, just don't expect it to include a zip in zip out floor!

The blind is big. And conceptually, it could be a good blind. Very poor build quality though, from puncture holes due to poor stitching, to actually being able to see pin holes in the fabric in the middle of the walls and ceiling. Perhaps I just received a completely defective unit, but I am not willing to gamble again-returned. For the price, it should be of higher quality. Felt like an $80 blind, not $150.

Lots and lots of room. Interior black out works best if shooter is wearing black too. Many windows allow for numerous shooting options. Shooter should not open windows that illuminate from behind. Tall enough for a 6 ft man to stand and shoot a bow. Thanks for that Ameristep. I've only found one other blind that is that tall, and it was cost prohibitive.
