Fantastic chair for getting into sim racing. A must have if you have a steering wheel and pedals. Enhances the experience 10x. Couldn't ask for more in terms of build quality - doesn't feel like a foldaway chair. Not lacking in terms of rigidity. No complaints

I bought this racing seat simply because it was the only one in the market that could fit my needs: to have a decent racing chair that I could easily fold away. This chair is perfect for that and I am very pleased with my buy. This can compete with normal non-foldable seats as well.

Usually I had to set up my wheel, pedals and all the wires to my desk and pc before and take them away after every gaming session, which was a pain in the a**. This seat literally makes playing into plug and play because I can store it with everything attached onto it - I just fold it out in one minute, plug usb and power in and I am ready to go. Folding away also is super easy and fast, I can do it in two minutes. Both I do without an issue and it's not something you get tired of. Seat stores nicely as you can see in the picture and it is decent-enough looking for my wife to approve it in our living room when folded. It could look better though if the logo in the back wasn't there.

For a foldable seat this is very comfortable. I can easily play for hours and feel good about it. I am 180cm/86kg and the fit is just good (would fit to at least +10cm/kg decently). Upper back is the only minus as the headrest come quite forward, but it's not an issue to me though.

I paid 200 euros for this including the shipping (1,5 weeks to my door in Finland), which is bargain. These go easily 150e in after market, so you'll be able to get decent money back once you get room for a bigger seat. Price-quality is very good and the product feels very sturdy. It comes with two pairs of bolts for wheel and the tools so you don't have to go looking for those in a hardware store.

What I would change in this is to be able to choose a seat with either right or left handed opening (when you sit into it). That would make the wiring more easy when you have PC on right hand side and also attaching accessories (such as gearstick) to the wheel bar more practical. Now I have to be very careful with usb-wire because it hangs high. Also the instructions could be clearer, especially regarding adjustments. There could be a scale (lines) under the wheel and in the pedal pipes so that it would be easier to find the best adjustments (tilt of wheel, distance of pedals) each time.

This is super fun product and near perfection. Would recommend 10/10.

Fantastic must have for sim racing. If only getting into racing this has to be your first and possibly only rig to buy. Incredibly sturdy, surprisingly compact when folded and great fun. Great price too

Really good seat for the money,as i dont have the budget for a "big" seat. Also the possibility to fold is really nice to store it when i dont need it.

This is a very good sim rig, especially when storage is an issue. Easy to setup and easily adjustable.

If like me you are new to SIM racing and have limited space then this seat from Playseat is perfect. I bought the Logitech G29 steering wheel and pedals and it fits perfectly on the steering plate.

There is enough room on the steering wheel plate for bigger wheels, and wheels that bolt down. The seat itself can be adjusted in multiple places to make the driving comfortable. Here are a few of the things I really like about the Playseat:
1. It was relatively easy to set up. 2. It is well made, there are nice stitching all over. The PS4 logo and blue colour are simply awesome to look at. 3. Multiple places to adjust the comfort of the seat. This was well thought out. 4. The steering wheel has a lot of options. One can bring the steering wheel closer or further away. You can tilt the plate forward or backwards depending on your seating or arm position and getting out of the seat is easy, the wheel can be unlocked and shifted over to the left. The movement almost feels like it does when getting out of a racing car. 5. The entire Playseat can be folded up and secured in seconds and it takes up minimal space. It can also stand upright or be laid lying flat without the need to disconnect the steering wheel and pedals, which is a bonus because when it comes to setting it up to play, it is two steps and you are done. 6. The use of velcro to tie up is clever and simple saving time. 7. Customer Support has been excellent so far. No complaints.

What I don't fancy:
1. The back of the seat to the headrest is a little too steep and I found my back getting sore. If I was shorter, I don't think it would be a problem. 2. The set-up manual would have been better if it used real photos instead of drawings. 3. The Playseat doesn't come with a gear shift plate, which was a little disappointing. I see they can be bought elsewhere, but it should have been part of the seat.

Overall, I am very happy with the seat. It has given me endless hours of enjoyment already and I can definitely say it has improved my driving ten-fold. If I had the space and or a room for a fixed chair I would definitely consider something bigger and better, but for the price, size and ease of use, it is perfect.

Just unpacked and assembled my Playseat Challenge. Quality seems to be very good and stable, mounting of the wheel and pedals was no problem (Logitec). Seat is very comfortable for me (1.74 cm, 75 kg), not too tight at all. Forgot to connect the power cord to the wheel, so I had to mount it 2 times. Please make sure that you connect all cords to lo lower side of the wheel before mounting the playseat! Folded seat fits easily in a regular wardrobe. Wheel and pedals can stay mounted, very easy to make it ready for race again. Looking forward to finally get my PS5!

I love this thing. I’m a tall and relatively heavy person (6’2” 205lbs) and this seat adjusts to fit me perfectly. Couldn’t be happier with the set up.

I really missed a cockpit to play simulators.
It had to be foldable to not take too much place when it isn't in use.
It is a perfect choice
