The platform is the ideal size in my opinion. Width and length is perfect for me. I’m 5’10, 185 with a size 11 boot. Played around with it for a couple hours the past two days. The cables don’t get in my way and I actually prefer to be able to feel the cables because I don’t have to think of where I’m at on the platform, I just know. I didn’t experience much flex in the platform but there is some there. I’m not worried about it and feel extremely safe if it. The only thing I dislike about the stand is the bracket. In my opinion it is to aggressive. It’s tough to cam lock in some trees. It penetrates too deep and doesn’t want to slide down in trees with thick bark. It does fine with thin bark and soft trees, it actually penetrates into the tree itself. I stopped practicing on my oak trees. I really don’t know why they didn’t taper the edges on it. Not a huge deal, I will just bring two straps.
