This is exactly that - Offers enough stability for steering wheel (G29) and for me (40 something fat Dad) plus 11 year old boy . it folds away like a deck chair essentially .The foldaway is sufficient that it will go in a cupboard ( if you could put a deck chair in there) and saves on any domestic conversations that start along the lines of "What the **** is that and it needs to go"
Well constructed , straightforward to put together and holding up well thus far .
Broken after one year.
Buy cheap, buy twice. I have had this chair for just over a year with moderate use as a sim racing chair and heavy use as a gaming chair. Its rare that i found myself folding it up, instead moving it out the way or using it as a gaming chair rather than sitting on the sofa. I am 6 foot 2 so have to have it set relatively low to the ground to compensate and weigh around 88 kilos / 190 pounds and I assume that getting in and out of it has slowly bent the frame, eventually leading to its collapse.
Although its comfortable to sit in it is still pretty awkward to get in and out of and it is REALLY creaky and noisey when you move around so if you are using a mic on games (maybe you arent just planning to sim race in this) then it will be very annoying for other people who you are speaking to and it just makes the thing look and sound cheap with its deck-chair like quality.
Given the money again to start over, i would probably try a combination of a gaming chair and something like a game roker rig to slide in front of it, or just use a desk. Especially if this is your only budget. If you are REALLY into your sim racing I would seriously consider increasing your budget and getting a proper rig.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the official gearstick mount adapter doesnt work either, so i have essentially wasted my money on that and the shifter too (got the shifter in a bundle and have never been able to use it).
This chair is not worth the money in the long run. All positive reviews are probably from people in the short term and i think when you get it and hear how cheap it sounds and see that it nearly falls over when you put the wheel mount to the open position you try to justify the purchase just because it is foldable and cheaper than the more serious kit. With the wheel and pedals still attached the fact that it is foldable really isnt that great and I think if you dont have a the space you are better off staying on the sofa or sitting at a desk.
The only real positive is that it is more comfortable than it looks (when you are sat still and not trying to get in and out of it) and it can fit in a delivery box much smaller than better rigs can come in - which might save on money on delivery or space when you lock it in solitary confinement for dashing your dreams of an affordable rig that doesnt disappoint. Oh and the wheel and pedals fit on it okay (logitech g920) and these were pretty easy to adjust.
However this seat in reality doesnt really have a place in the market. Its not robust or easy to get in and out of as a gaming chair and its not got the capabilities and quality feel of a proper racing chair either.
If you dont mind something that cost you 200 pounds looking so cheap, are on a budget and also ultra light enough to stop it creaking and bending, dont ever think you will want to use a stick shift or rally sequential shift and HAVE to have a seat that folds then maybe, just maybe this seat will do.
If not keep your money. Or save more up for a better option.
If you're worried about steering wheel cables hanging and getting damaged when you fold the seat, just buy 2 metres of 12mm black spiral wrap and use this to hold the cables on to the seat frame. 2 metres is perfect to wrap all the way down from the steering wheel to the pedal extension.
I've only had this seat for a short while but must have spent over 50 hours in it so far with a few 3 hour plus stints and can fully understand another reviewer who said that he'd rather spend time in his Challenge than sitting on his sofa. It really is that comfortable to use.
Highly recommended. I'd give it 6/5 stars if I could.
Some have said it takes a long time to build, but for me it only took 30mins and was very simple and easy to do. Instructions were clear enough and to be honest you don't really need to follow them to build it, it's that simple.
Seat is comfy to play in for a long while, I've played for a good 2hr and a half in one session and only stopped as the wife wanted to go out :p
Paired with the thrustmaster t300 and f1 wheel add-on and playing F1 2017 is makes for a great experience!
It would be nice if it folded up a bit more, as it is quite bulky and does take up a bit of room.
It has multiple position setup - you can slide the seat further or closer to the pedals. You can slide the wheel away from you. The pedal unit has a tilt function so you can have them then tilted up towards you or flatter if you prefer.
It comes with some very string sticky back Velcro so holds my wheel and pedals firmly in place. The mounts for wheel and pedal come with a variety of drill holes, so is possible to bolt your controls in place if that is an option on your setup.
It has a nice bucket seat feel and good lumber support. It is very low, which took a bit of getting used to. I managed to tilt my monitor screen down and now feels very realistic. It's added a new level of realism to me playing F1 2020 game. Love it!
