Millennium built its name on tree stands; the G400 (model G-400-00) brings that mindset to the ground. Who it’s for: hunters who want one serious chair for walk-in hubs and don’t need armrests. Bowhunters especially like the open sides.

Seat height should put your eyes on the window line without hunching. Millennium G400 offers ~3.5″ of height adjustment (seat dims 20.75″ H × 19.75″ W × 16.5″ L). ALPS Stealth Hunter Deluxe publishes 17.5″–25″ — an unusually wide range. Measure your blind’s window bottom (often ~30–36″+) and sit in a similar kitchen chair at home before you buy.

In a hub blind, deer don’t always walk into the window you faced at first light. A 360° swivel lets you rotate torso and seat together with less boot scrape. Fixed stools are lighter and cheaper, but you shift your whole body — louder and slower. Powder-coated aluminum and tight-sling mesh (ComfortMAX, Flex-Tek, TechMesh) tend to squeak less than cheap plastic ratchets; a drop of silicone on pivots after a dusty season is normal maintenance.

Bowhunters: prefer no arms, removable arms, or folding arms so the bow clears. G400 has no arms; Stealth Hunter Deluxe removes; Muddy XT folds.

Capacity protects heavier hunters and layered clothing. Carry weight decides truck vs hike. G400: 400 lb at 7.9 lb. Stealth Hunter Deluxe: 300 lb at 16 lb 9 oz. Rhino MC: 375 lb at roughly 5.6 lb.

Look for independently adjustable legs, wide or swivel feet on soft dirt, and four legs when you want maximum planted feel versus a tripod.

A double-wide chair with arms can crowd a 55″ × 55″ blind. For two-hunter blinds, prefer slimmer seats or plan positions before opener. Walk-ins favor Rhino MC or BOG 4 On The Floor; truck blinds can take Stealth Hunter Deluxe weight for leveling.

60-second chooser: Bowhunt small hub → G400 or Stealth Hunter with arms off. Rifle + arms + budget → Muddy XT. Soft/sloped dirt → Stealth Hunter. Long walk → Rhino MC or BOG 4. Two hunters → measure floor first.

Not mandatory, but for deer that circle downwind or enter from the side, swivel chairs reduce boot noise and speed. Turkey hunters often prefer light fixed stools.

Usually yes, but leave margin. Prefer 400 lb chairs if you’re near the limit or share the seat with gear on your lap.

Fixed bulky arms can foul a draw. Pick removable or folding arms, or armless designs like the G400 — see our full best hunting chairs for bowhunters guide.

You can, but camping chairs are often louder, taller than window lines, and wider than blind doors. Purpose-built blind chairs exist for a reason.

Great on flat plywood floors in permanent blinds; poor on dirt inside pop-up hubs. This article focuses on portable ground-blind chairs.
