I searched for many hours on the internet for the right driving simulator. When I came across the Playseat F1, I was impressed by the overall appearance of the product. My concern was the price was more than what I had planned on spending. But, as you can see by my 5 star rating in the price/quality category, that concern was alleviated once the product arrived and I could see and feel the quality in person. Definitely worth every penny.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun
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! -

Very happy with the product so far, the build quality is very solid and sturdy, lots of possible adjustments and very comfortable for extended sessions.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun
My only recommendation would be to get yourself a small pillow for lumbar support if needed. -

Great playseat . . . Best design everOverall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

Really great design with easy positioning system. Gives you the perfect head rest for long run races. It would just be nice to, at least, have a base plate or something. It’s a bit less torsional resistant then what I’ve expected, so I had the playseat fixed into a wood plate.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

I got my fiancé the f1 playseat in red for Christmas, he loves competing in online races on gran turismo and F1 now that he can no longer competitively cart due to an injury. He absolutely loves it. It’s enhanced his race craft, the frame is extremely sturdy and solid so there’s no give when on the breaks or accelerator, it’s a fantastic rig. It looks amazing in the red and stands out in his gaming room. It was an investment but 100% worth it. My fiancé has never been comfortable in any of his gaming rigs due to being 6’2” but the adjustability of this rig is just perfect for him. He said it’s as close to being in a real f1 car as he will ever get.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

I absolutely love this cockpit. I have friends asking to come over so they can play with it. Even my NASCAR friends. Only problem for me is the curvature of the seatback. It is far too rounded for me as I like to sit with proper posture. I put and a thin pillow behind my back to straighten out my back and I am good to play for hours at a time. It is super sturdy and has no rattle or shaking when playing with aggressive force feedback.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

Rarely do I buy something online that is nicer than I expected, but this seat most certainly is NICE. All metal construction...extremely sturdy. Could not be happier. 2 day shipping to Texas. Trust me when I say that you can't go wrong with this seat.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun

The seat was delivered in a very good package. It came with instructions that were easy to understand and the seat was assembled without much hassle. The package also came with some extra screws and nuts, which is always useful.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun

John - United States
After staring at this chair for several months intimidated by the price I finally decided to get it after my cheap homemade rig finally broke. I was ready to face disappointment, but I never encountered any of it. The kit fit together perfectly and took me less than 40 minutes from unboxing to racing. The center pillar is perfect for masking wires coming to and from my wheelbase that I used to stumble over in my old rig. Overall my only regret with this is that I didn't get the monitor stand with it.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -
Jman-87 - United States
I've recently graduated from karts to cars (F4 specifically) and needed something much better positioned. This setup is perfect. You can see the European quality immediately upon unpacking, and all the way thru assembly. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase and would recommend the setup to anyone looking for a great Sim seat!Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

My wife and I searched for 2 days online for a racing simulator seat until we spotted this one. While it was out of our initial budget, it was well worth the additional cost. Very comfortable, looks amazing, and easy to adjust. The build quality is top notch and this will last for quite some time. It was very basic to put together and light enough to move around when necessary. The driving position is perfect for our entertainment room. I highly recommend anyone that is looking for racing seat to purchase this one. I just wish that I could have purchased a version with the Petronas/Mercedes F1 team colors and logo.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

The Playseat F1 is simply amazing. I was considering to buy one since years, not sure if I would have fun with it in the long run and if I have enough place at home.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun
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. -
Stephen - United Kingdom
After an age considering this chair I finally took the plunge and regret not buying it sooner. Games are so much more involving and I intend to buy the motion kit very soon! If you're sat on the fence, or even considering a competitor's product, get this bought!Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -
