NETAMI NT-5102 Racing Seat with Carbon Fiber texture Blue/Black

I bought this seat to mount on a small metal base to use for gaming while playing games my Xbox One S. The seat has sliders installed with an adjustment bar to slide the seat forward/backward as needed. The rails are greased which helps with moving the seat. I am 6'4" tall @ 215 lbs and the seat fits me better than I anticipated. The design of the seat is fashioned after a racing seat with the sides of the seat having "wings" that hold you in place side to side. I am not a BIG man but I can tell if I were a little bit wider person the wings would become a nuisance and press against my shoulders and hips/legs due to it's design. I would not recommend this seat to large/larger people as you would not be comfortable sitting in it. Also, Included in the box the seat came inside of were bolts and spacers to mount the rails onto the seat. Holes in the material were already cut to locate the mounting holes for the rails.The seat has adjustable round knobs on both sides to make adjusting the back easier to adjust. The rotation of the knobs is easy and without any noticeable friction or resistance and have a positive action when you turn them. No sticking or hanging up as you turn the knobs. The material used to cover the seat is some kind of vinyl (you can smell vapors from the vinyl) but not so strong that it's bothersome (for me). If you have allergies to smells this could be an issue. Otherwise the odor will dissipate in a week or so. The design of the seat material looks similar to carbon fiber but has a somewhat slick feel to it. The quality of workmanship looks to be decent. The stitching used doesn't appear to be like a heavy duty type of stitching so can't speak to how long it will hold up. The design and look of the seat looks nice (to me) and is comfortable (for me) when I play games. The seat cushioning feels stiff and sitting in it for awhile I feel myself squirming a little but that's due to many surgeries I have had which is what contributes to my level of discomfort. I use a neat seat cushion I purchased on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DOILL2A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1) which makes sitting in any seat/chair much more comfortable (for me). If you have difficulty staying seated comfortably for periods of time I'd highly recommend the seat cushion I added in parentheses above and the supplied photo.The seat back is high and feels very supportive. You can lean the seat back until it's nearly horizontal if you have a need for doing that. I lean the seat back until I feel like I'm sitting normal/comfortably where the seat is slightly leaned back but my head doesn't touch the seat but my back is well supported. I didn't find a lower lumbar back support built into this seat but I have a small one I use on a computer chair and have used it on this seat and that helps keeping the lower back supported for my needs.As I said I mounted the seat to a small metal stand I robbed from an ottoman foot stool we never used. It was a good fit for the seat. I made a wooden box mounted to the rails to be able to use later in a racing cockpit simulator I'd like to build and have stored in a room large enough to have it in. Building the box also gave me a way to mount the seat to the foot stool stand so it's in a fixed position now as I can simply turn the seat right to left in a circular motion when sitting down or standing up. The ideal for this seat (in my opinion) is to have it placed in a game racing cockpit to be able to slide it forward/backward like a car seat for long term use. That said...having it sitting on the stand is working great for the intended use. I have setup our entertainment center in the living room to also be able to play games when not using the TV to watch movies, etc. Everyone does what they do to enjoy your own entertainment. If you have room to build a racing cockpit that would be ideal not only for using the seat but also to have all components installed and always ready to use when your ready to. For now...I'm enjoying using the seat as described and my wife is happy to allow me the use of our living room where I play games on the Xbox.I gave the seat 4 stars due to the fact that both times I had to order this seat both boxes they are shipped in were damaged. The 1st order I placed was almost delivered but when it arrived at our local UPS store saying it was out for delivery...UPS sent it back due to damage they would not accept. So I ordered the seat again and when the 2nd seat arrived the box had been damaged and torn open and someone applied packing tape to the damaged end which still had the seat visible. While looking at the box with the UPS delivery man he told me I didn't have to accept it and could return it but after inspecting the seat seeing there was no damage to it I accepted it. It comes from China shipped inside a box completely laid flat (seat is completely reclined) but no padding or protection inside the box so buyer beware!! It only took me 2 tries to get one I could keep. Hence the 4 stars.Again I want to thank Amazon and NETAMI for making this available online and to Amazon...always a pleasure doing business with you!!

Over all great seat for the price, I'm using it in a custom built racing rig for my xbox one. Was a little bit of a pain getting it mounted due to the design but I'm assuming that's the case with any seat. The shoulders are a bit thin, I have sort of broad shoulders and If my shoulders were any wider it would be a little uncomfortable, The bottom part I have plenty of room. The micro adjust is nice but you really have to use both knobs at the same time, so wouldn't be great for in a real car. The seat is pretty firm but comfortable enough for me to use for an extended period. The box was pretty damaged when it showed up, I could see the seat through a large hole in the corner and the box was about 1/3 soaking wet and starting to mold possibly, the seat was fine though, wrapped in plastic, no damage to it, there were a couple holes in the plastic where metal parts rubbed it but not a big deal, almost no packing material, just foam around the adjustment knobs. Shipping time was pretty quick.

This is probably as good as it gets for the price. The vynal covering of the seat has a nice looking carbon fiber texture and all the seams and stitching looks very sturdy. The embroidering on the logo is also well done. There are even zippers going up the back of the seat, I think they are for altering the cover if necessary which I thought was a huge plus.The bolsters and shape of the seat is good. Not too high, not too low. It definitely holds you in place when you take a corner at speed. The back though is very straight. Almost like there is just a plastic board inside that you sit against. The seats are still comfortable though! I have been on several 5+ hour drives with these seats in my tiny coupe and would not complain.I rate 4 instead of 5 because to recline the seat you have to turn the knobs on BOTH sides of the seat, tough to access with the seatbelt and door on either side. Wish it was a lever like almost every other car.

I bought this for a Sim racing rig. It's as nice as I hoped. The material is nice and grippy. It IS a car seat, so the durability is there. It's highly adjustable. Both the sliding rails and the back. The back has a knob for adjustment, as opposed to a lever, which adjusts an inch at a time. The knob is virtually infinite in it's adjustment. You can, literally, move it a millimeter at a time, if you wish.I wasn't expecting it to be very comfortable. But, once I got my seating position sorted, it's a very comfortable seat. I spent over six hours in it, no problem.My dimensions. I'm 6ft, 210lbs, it fits me nicely.I'm pleased all around. It's was less than half the price of an 'open wheeler'. Plus about $30 of material, and I got to set it up exactly as I wanted. for under $200, and a couple afternoons, I have a custom sim rig. Big deal.Shipping, fast. Packaging...left a little to be desired. The contents were in perfect condition.Great seat NETAMI.

These seats are really nice for the price. Quality wise they look/feel like much more expensive seats. The fabric is slick.The instructions were pretty bare - something like: "assemble the pieces so that everything is facing the right way."I had a problem with the rail adjustment bar not fitting properly. The instructions say you might have to hit it with a hammer to get it to fit, but that didn't work - it ended up pushing the metal on the bar in. I had to grind one of the pre-drilled holes to get it to fit. This is the only reason the product gets 4/5 stars.I am still working on figuring out a way to get these seats bolted down to my car. You might want to buy a mounting kit along with your purchase (or just go to home depot).Overall, great product.Take a look.
