I love this goat stand! I didn’t need my husband or even 2 hands to put it together (I had hand surgery 3 weeks ago and in restricted brace). The assembly was so easy and took me about 20 minutes to put together. It is sturdy and excellent materials. I am VERY happy with this purchase.
Packed well. I put it together in a few minutes. Seems to be sturdy built. I expect it will last the rest of my life.
I at least know that my pigmy goats fit on this wonderful stand and so nice to put together. Sadly I should have went with my gut and purchased the larger/longer one for my Nigerans Dwarfs. Shipping was great, arrived in a non damaged state and no issues from any aspect.
I am all about supporting family and small businesses that are in the USA.
I bought one of these, it works great. I wish the boards that the goats stand on would be built closer together, the spacing need to be closer. I also thought in the video, there were 4 boards but it only has three. I would also like to recommend that spring lock would be a little more sturdy, sometimes it comes off.
The design is great, just needs some things to be improved.
Easy to assemble, works great, and the perfect size for my goats. I would buy it again.
Easiest stanchion I've ever built! Probably the most square too. Very clear written instructions, the parts were labeled and hardware included. I've used it everyday to milk my AlpineXNubian doe.
Only 4 stars because the gaps between the boards on the deck are too wide for petite hooves. I stapled a nonslip mat to it and have had no more issue with hooves slipping into the gaps. Also a wider deck would make milking more comfortable.
I love this milking stand! The size is perfect for my Dwarf Nigerians, and it was so easy to assemble. Most of the work is already done, and my 9 year old son put the rest together for me with minimal guidance.
Came with great instructions easy to figure out. Great quality!! We love our goat stand and planing on using this business for future purchases.
I appreciated the detailed instructions though wasn't expecting to fully assemble the structure at purchase. Now that it is assembled, I like the stand. I do wish there were predrilled holes to secure a feed bin to the front, but that is such a minor concern. All the above being said, the stand is an affordable, durable option.
Absolutely beautiful stanchion. Goes together so fast if you have a power drill. Comes mostly assembled, the hard parts are done. I can’t wait to start training my goats to use it. I’m going to oil the wood to extend its lifespan.
Well built and well thought out stand. Instructions and predrilled holes with markings were easy to follow and we assembled in quickly. I really like the composite top. Easy to wipe up and clean. It's a little slick as our girls jump up, so may look at adding little strips for grip. I think they'll get used to it though. I also appreciate the optional feed tray being removable. Many stands don't have that option. It's a nice feature.
Had some shipping issues originally with UPS not following the handle with care stickers and breaking a piece, but Russell sent out a new headstall as a replacement. Overall pleased with the product and would recommend.
I should've read the instructions more carefully, as I damaged the stanchion (hopefully I can get replacement parts if the glue doesn't hold?), but aside from neglecting to remove a screw that was put in for shipping, assembly was a piece of cake. Works great for the fully grown Nigerian dwarf goats, though the ~6 month olds can work their little heads through. That issue will fix itself over time!
I’m slightly disappointed that it was damaged on delivery emailed pictures of the damage and heard nothing. Otherwise, I love the stand however that’s is a customer service fail
Havent had time to use it yet. I did put thompsons water seal on it. It was easy to assemble and absolutely beautiful. It was very sturdy and I believe will last years if taken care of.
