Far too expensive
You're better off building one yourself or just paying your local blacksmith.

Stupidly overpriced.
This product is priced six times its original cost. For the price the seller is selling it you can get it made for cheap.

Awesome product and customer service.
I purchased this sim chair to go with my logitech wheel/pedals/shifter that I had been using on a coffee table. The same day I ordered it I sent team homeracer a message inquiring about additional parts for my thrustmaster t.flight hotas 4 flight stick and throttle. Within hours they had messaged me back saying they did have plate attachments and as they are a test batch they were shipping the pieces to me for free.I have had the chair for about two weeks now and the flight sim attachments for one week.The racing setup:There is some assembly required. It took about 30 minutes and they included all necessary tools (two regular wrenches and two Allen wrenches).The assembly instructions are very easy to follow and illustrated.They also include instructions for mounting your wheel/pedals/shifter with different instructions for different brands.All the small parts were bagged and labeled very clearly with a letter and what they were for.Once the chair is assembled it is very adjustable. Rubber coated knobs allow you to adjust: height and depth of steering column, height and width of shifter mount, depth of pedals. You can also adjust the seat itself just like a real car seat (depth and backrest angle).Everything is very sturdy. The shifter pedals and steering wheel all feel like they are part of the chair (no wiggle), and the chair itself does not rock at all while playing.While it is fairly heavy due to the solid materials (all metal) it is also easy to move thanks to the lockable wheels under the pedal plate.The chair itself is very comfortable.It contours and supports your body well.The amount of adjustability means it can fit a wide range of body types and sizes (I'm 6'00" and 250 lbs).The fabric feels durable and the padding has not degraded at all during two weeks of heavy use.I barely used my $300 racing sim controllers for over a year when I tried attaching them to my coffee table. Now with this chair I can't get enough of them.Flight setup.As I already had the chair setup their was minimal assembly for this and again they included clear instructions and all necessary tools.They even let me know ahead of time that with my flight sticks (t.flight hotas 4) that I would have to extend the cord in order to get the side by side arrangement I wanted.Again they included multiple instructions and parts to mount different brands of flight sticks.The plates are sturdy enough that hard mounting the controls is not necessary though.They also included optional spacers to slightly raise and tilt the seat for flight sim.Overall:This greatly enhances the level of immersion you get from your sim experience.The assembly is easy and everything is provided.Comfort is top notch and allows for sim sessions of several hours without aches or cramps.Considering the price you could pay for something very similar this chair is a steal.I cannot overstate how impressed I am with the product and the company.Five stars on everything.

Well worth the price
We purchased this chair with accessories for our teenage son for Christmas. He is obsessed with it. It is exactly what he wanted. The unit is sturdy. It can be moved easily when not in use. It is long and takes up a lot of room. Make sure you have enough space for it.

Definite step up from using a TV tray
For a couple years now I have used a Logitech G920 that I attached to a wooden TV dinner tray, sat in front of the living room TV for racing sessions. Well, having two kids eventually brought negative consequences to my off-balanced setup, causing the table and the attached wheel (with pedals underneath on the floor) to come crashing down, snapping the two screw-down latches on the G920.Enter the OpenWheeler GEN3 Racing Wheel Cockpit stand. It feels great being able to bolt down both the wheel unit and the pedals securely. The blue racing seat also feels great. Everything is adjustable, so that's great too. The seat adjusts back and forth the same as your seat in your real car does. The seat also folds over the wheel a bit to aid in storage while not in use.The only gripes I have, and they are pretty minor I admit, are:1. The default setup sets roughly four inches off the floor, which for somebody my age (I've been sim racing for 25 adult years now), can make it a bit of a chore to get in and out of. The manufacturer does offer bumpers to push this up off the floor a few more inches, but I didn't feel like spending even more money on this luxury.2. The preferred way to rout the wires from the steering wheel means attaching them (via provided velcro straps) to the upright that the wheel is fastened to. This decreased the distance I can sit from my Xbox by at least a foot (not the racing seat maker's fault).The wife was initially pissed at me for spending $400 on a "toy," but it's easier to live with forgiveness than regret, right? Overall, I'm very pleased with the product.

Sturdy
ordered on the 15th standard free shipping, it arrived on the 18th! this item is very sturdy, built of quality materials, assembly was a breeze, (the only negative issue I found is that there are no knobs or hardware to secure the rollers in the back tubes to keep them from sliding in and out when your moving it, not a giant issue but seemed odd because there are threaded areas to do so) seat is very comfortable (durable? time will tell) . I would recommend the lumbar pillow or your own small pillow, this cockpit is adjustable in every way so whether your short or tall there seemed to be and endless amount of ways to adjust it to make it work, i personally am vertically challenged at 5'4" . I found no wobble issues at all, my thrustmaster tx mounted up perfectly as well as the pedals, all the hardware and tools were supplied, I did order the riser kit at the same time (good move) without the riser kit it sits directly on the ground and unless you like to do combat rolls every time you get up then this kit is a MUST, my TV sits high so i actually added 4x4`s underneath the frame, i was able to mount them with no mods to the frame, this brought it up an additional 3.5" which is great, and the stability is still there, and you can still raise it up to roll it around, if someone would like to see the pictures I would be happy to take some. Time is always the true judge of a product, and normally I wait a couple of months before reviewing a product, but as solid as this thing is built I can foresee no issues. Happy Driving to all my fellow sim driving freaks, remember "never drink and drive" unless of course your in sim seat, and of age (-:

Better than I thought!
As the title says, this product turned out better than I thought. The construction is solid with minimal plastic parts. Most of the metal is aluminum or coated and feels very rigid. The seat is comfortable and has a cut out for flight sticks. Assembly with my other sim devices was well explained with the directions and easy to install.With this order I picked up the flight sim package with the chair. A representative from the company contacted me and told me one item was included with the order and refunded the cost of the extra item without a second thought. Delivery was prompt! The packaging was rigid and provided excellent protection of the components. This setup has been amazing for my immersive VR flight sim experience!Overall, I would give this company more than 5 stars if I could - especially with the exceptional customer service! I like that they provide a multitude of upgrade options and that their prices are reasonable for a beginner or experienced sim player. I highly recommend this company and their products without hesitation.
