Set up was extremely quick and simple. The instructions included were easy to follow, even for someone who is not mechanically-inclined. They even have a way to hide the wires of the steering wheel and pedals so the setup looks clean and professional.
Sitting in the chair for the first time just put me in the right frame of mind for playing racing games. I honestly felt like I was preparing for a real race. The seating position is surprisingly comfortable, and I've noticed I can play for hours without any discomfort or muscle and back fatigue. Even my lap times began dropping due to the realistic nature of this setup.
I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about a home racing simulator. Racing games are so much more realistic, exciting, and most importantly, fun when using the F1 Playseat. I am now addicted to playing simulator games, solely because of this seat! -

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, experience putting it together was great and build quality is very very good, every corner is well rounded that I don't have to worry about my kid playing around it while it sits in the room.
Few complaints I have are:
1. In the user manual there was no visual information about extra metal part that is mounted on wheelbase for gear-shifter. I was happy that it was included but it took me 2 days after putting it together to figure out what that is -> and when I did I realized that my model was built for left hand gear shifter :) A problem that I took care with a drill in 2mins.
But this also comes as a benefit where I was very happily surprised that my right not only fits to play F1 but I do enjoy driving around in Euro Truck sim. in it.
2. I just ordered fanatec gear for this seat and pedals I mounted with loadcell are heavy on breaks, what I noticed that when I need to break super hard after a longer session my break mount dose slowly slide backwards but also to suppress any concerns about its flex I cant say for sure that V3 Fanatec pedals work very well with almost no flex on this RIG.
My suggestion for PlaySeat would be to include a small backrest pillow with this rig just for sake of comfort in longer sessions or when you have a friend over this helps to let them play without changing the pedal distance and reconfiguring your perfect setup.
In final: I would definitely recommend this rig, it dose match the price point it fits and the build quality is excellent, also there are multiple small details like cable management tunnels etc that fully fitted makes it look more like gaming interior design object than an actual racing monster it is. -

After all this hard work.. not really.. it was playtime! Happy as a child in a candystore.
The Playseat feels solid, because of the heavy materials that were used. Easy to play games for many hours while using the Playseat. The seat itself is really comfirtable, and the availability to move the platform for steer and pedals is a benefit. In my oppinion the Playseat not only looks like the inside of an formula racing car, but also feels as it. It is worth it's price, when you want a chair for sim racing. Also the lead time was perfect. Ordered it on Thursday and it was delivered on Friday.
If I had the choice to buy a seat again, I would choose this Playseat once more. -

Its is quite a bit expensive, but sim racing is always expensive! The quality is very high though, so you could (almost) say it's fair priced.
Regarding comfort, being 190cm tall, I find it does not fit me like a glove. The head "pillow" hits my neck, and the curvature of the seat makes my back ache after about half an hour. However, a thin pillow behind my lower back solves this.
Overall very nice product, and I believe it is the best in the category of F1 seats. -

But I can definitely recommend this product in both terms. The comfortable feeling while racing is incredible. Beside its great and valuable design it is also very stable. The total setup took me around 1-2 hours and was not too difficult. The wiring is easy to hide which was also very important for me.
The shipping took 2 days as advertised and altough it is no cheap seat, I absolutely don't regret the deal. I highly recommend it to everyone who is into racing games. -

there was an issue with the pedal mount, which was rectified, resent, and double welded without having to return the faulty component, in under a week. excellent service and communication.
