It is highly customisable and very comfortable. I am just under 6ft and fit comfortably in it with still room for adjustment. The seat suede (spelling?) material is very comfortable and prevents slipping/submarining when using the seat.
The hardware platform itself is set up to accept multiple different types of wheel/pedal combinations...I use a T300 with an Open Wheel style wheel with a T3PA 3 pedal set up....bith fit perfectly and securely and is comfortably within reach during use. Playing for extended periods is no issue.
Using the seat is a joy...It hugely increases the immersion...you are sitting low, semi reclined and feel surrounded due to the frame of the seat. Being honest when I first saw it I thought it would be unstable and move around under use....but I can gladly report the opposite is true...I found it to be completely stable, with no noticeable swqy pr movement in the wheel during the most strenous racing in Assetto Corsa. Id be confident in its sturdiness in Rally games also.
On a final point the seat doeant take up huge space but if needs be can be folded up easily for storage.
I would highly, highly recommend this product for its customisabilty, comfort and immersion. -

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.

As soon as my new Playseat arrived I fell in love. Unpacking was pleasing, getting it all together was a breeze and playing in it was just so much fun.
First thing that surprised me was the materials and build quality. Not gonna lie, at first I had doubts about making this purchase as my expectations were far lower for this chair, I did not think it was as sturdy and well built. So while still assembling it I immediately understood what I payed for and that moment I saw that my money was well invested.
Playing in it is really really comfy. I can sit in it for hours and there's no backpain, no discomfort. Adjusting seat position takes just a minute and is really easy to do, so getting that perfect seating is very simple. Seat itself is so comfy that the moment I get up, my cat occupies it instantly.
So overall if you need something to put away, there's no other choice that would be so worth it. -

Aufgrund des vergleichsweise günstigen Preises hatte ich nicht sonderlich hohe Ansprüche an die Qualität. Beim Zusammenbauen wurde ich aber eines besseren belehrt.
Der Sitz ist qualitativ extrem hochwertig und die Einzelteile sehr gut verarbeitet.
Das Zusammenbauen ist ein Kinderspiel, man braucht überhaupt kein Werkzeug.
Durch die Klettverschlüsse kann der Sitz perfekt an die individuellen Bedürfnisse angepasst werden.
Im Einsatz hat sich der gute Eindruck noch einmal bestätigt.
Das Lenkrad (Thrustmaster 300 RS GT) konnte mit den mitgelieferten Schrauben + Inbusschlüssel gut montiert werden, das Lenkrad sitzt bombenfest und die Neigung kann schnell und unkompliziert angepasst werden.
Wenn der Sitz nicht im Einsatz ist, kann er zusammengeklappt und verstaut werden. Auch das funktioniert erstaunlich schnell und unkompliziert.
Ich würde sofort wieder auf dieses Produkt zurückgreifen. -

Ergebnis: Der Playseat war innerhalb weniger Tage da und hat alle Bedürfnisse erfüllt; das Konkurrenzprodukt konnte ich noch vor dem Versand stornieren.
Die Gründe: Der wesentliche Vorteil des Konkurrenten wäre die Flexibilität bei den Sitzpositionen (GT und F1 Position) gewesen. Die Nachteile: höherer Platzbedarf, aufwändiger Auf- und Abbau
Der Clou:
Der Playseat Challenge ist aufgrund seines Konzepts extrem flexibel. Man kann anhand der Länger der Armstützen verschiedene Sitzpostionen einstellen. Je länger die Armstützen, desto mehr kommt man in eine Liegeposition. Je kürzer, desto aufrechter. Die längste Einstellung ist noch relativ aufrecht. Somit habe ich einfach die Halterung des Armstützenbandes mit Karabinerhaken erweitert und bin nun in einer perfekten F1 Position.
Somit sind alle Vorteile im Playseat Challenge vereint:
- sehr komfortabler und einfacher Auf- und Abbau
- er ist dabei sehr platzsparend und findet noch in der kleinsten Wohnung eine Lücke, wo er stehen kann oder würde auch unter's Bett passen
- er ist schlicht und modern designed, wirklich sehr ansprechend
- Für das was es ist, ist der Stuhl sehr bequem und stabil - eignet sich auch für längere Einsätze
- es sind Klettbänder dabei, um etwaige Kabel an den Rohren entlangzuführen (ein viel zu langes Kabels konnte ich sogar an der Unterseite der Sitzfläche im sehr breiten Klettverband verstecken)
Nachteile: Aufgrund seiner Flexibilität geht ein Nachteil einher: Bei gewissem Kraftaufwand bewegt sich das Lenkrad schon etwas hin und her. Das stört beim normalen Fahren nicht (bei mir das Fanatec CSL Elite F1 Set), könnte aber dennoch besser sein. Vielleicht können sich die Leute von Playseat hier noch einen besonderen Kniff einfallen lassen.
Insgesamt bin ich sehr zu frieden und kann ihn absolut weiterempfehlen! -

When you don´t have enough space for a hard installed seat, is this the most important tool what you should have to drive simracing.
The stability is very good, while you sitting on the seat.

So I studied some reviews and youtube videos and decided for a playseat challange. This was definitely the right decision.
I had some doubts because I'm 1,84m tall but it turned out that the customization options of the seat are powerful and after some adjustments here and there it fits very well for me.
I have a Fanetec CSL elite wheel and used some cable ties for fixing the CSL elite padels. This is something playseat could improve. I also use a little pillar in my back but I do this in every chair, it just feels nicer to my lower back.
Assembly was very fast and easy as expected. The material of the seat and rack is nice and of high quality. During driving I have absolutely enough stability both for the wheel and the force feedback as well as for the padels.
I like it a lot and I hope to spend many more hours with the seat, it is an essential part of the overall racing sim experience.
Thank you Playseat! -

The chair was easy to install except the rather short strap securing the pedal set of my Thrustmaster combo. This only just fitted, and only at the narrowest part of the pedal base. I did find some self adhesive “velcro” pads which may have been intended to solve such issues but I couldn’t find reference to them in my “glance” at the user guide.
The chair is comfy for the most part and very adjustable and should suit 99%+ of all those likely to use it. Rigidity is very acceptable for a foldable, relatively light weight chair and gives drivers no real issues even with the most energetic steering wheel inputs! I would have liked a little more adjustability in the front to back wheel position rather than having to tilt the chair back backwards or forwards (and therefore sitting angle) in order to adjust the reach of the wheel. I suppose someone could design a second plate to attach to the standard wheel mounting plate and use this to provide a sliding wheel mount in a similar manner to the pedal outrigger. This could be sold as an optional extra.
The only issue I personally had, being a largish fellow of 1.85mtr and 110kg, was that it was rather narrow for me at the front of the seat (near the swing over steering wheel platform arm) and the front arm rest buckles dig into my thighs though only slightly but noticeable after extended play. I do not anticipate this being an issue for the vast majority of users, only those will a larger frame!
Overall this is a great piece of equipment with some real thought having gone into the design. Time will tell on longevity but from other reports I’ve read I don’t expect any issues. As such I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a relatively Inexpensive racing cockpit that can easily and quickly be put away when not being used. -

I am amazed of the quality and comfort feeling in the chair.
~~~
Price/quality is really overwhelming my satisfaction and it surely met my expectations, probably it is the best thing which I have bought during last few years period.

True there is one IMPORTANT thing to mention - before first usage (I have a black chair), try to clean leather materials with some kind of a brush or a sponge, because after my few first excited hours of playing, I have got my white shirts and green shorts black spots. -

I set it up with fanatec csl elite f1 and it is perfect for it. i did have to make a bracket to mount the pedals but that was easy, just a 30cm plate with two holes drilled in it.
my only concern is if the brackets holding the pedal extension if they are strong enough but i'm sure they are and i'm being careful with them.
if your not sure if to buy this or something more permanent buy this and build up i promise you won't regret it -

The playseat challenge for me was perfect as it allowed me to race in my living room but also store it out the way.
I bought a fanatec clubsport to go on my playseat which i was a little concerned would be too powerful but it really isn't. The biggest problem i had was mounting the pedal's but i easily solved this. Firstly i used the provided strap over the back of the pedels to keep them down and centered and for the front i had to make a 30cm long plate with two holes in it so i could bolt the front down and it holds them perfectly.
I really had my doubts if it would be strong enough and a good enough quality and hesitated to buy mine but now having it i just with i bought it sooner, so i would highly recommend to anyone! -

Playing with the wheel on the desk is OK but playing while sitting in the Playseat Challenge is far better !
Easy to build and to set up, the seat arrived like an Ikea furniture, except it's very easy to build it.
The wheel was also easy to put on. Two screws and it's done !
As for the pedals, one velcro band and it's good to go !
There are several settings possible to adjust the seat, the wheel and the pedals position.
Big plus ! Once you set it up, you don't need to do it everytime. You just fold it, store it in your closet and next time you want to play, you unfold it and boom ! Ready to play !
I was anxious about the stability (compare to a "real" rig) so when I first sat in it I was very cautious but, it is very stable and very sturdy.
It's affordable and very compact if you don't have a lot of space at home for a "real" racing rig.
I live in France and I received my package very fast (even with all the things happening now..).
One negative point, though : no gear box holder.. (but I will find a way..)
All in all, it's a very good product and I really recommend it !
Thank you Playseat ! -

Following Thursday, Fed Ex delivered one times Playseat Challenge. I was a good Confined husband and completed the housework before I opened and set up my new aquistion for the man cave.
Setup - was very easy and adjusting was simple with the velcro armrest. Being able to attach the steering wheel with screws as well as the built in clamps is a really great idea for peace of mind that it is securely in place. That and the adjustable foot plate for the pedals makes this a superb purchase for a household with various sized people so they can all use it. It also has little velco straps so you can tidy all the cables and keep them out of the way. In next to no time I was speeding around Palm City (NFS Heat) and then Melbourne's Albert Park on F1 2019. When not in use it can easily be folded and put away, or if I am to slow my cat can use it as an alternative sleeping area to his other beds!!!
Am I pleased with the purchased....No.... I am absolutly over the moon and love it. Thanks to the cat I haven't had to put it away and it sits pride of place next to my other gaming chair. I am now just waiting for the Gearstick mount attachment for it so I can use the gearstick which is depressingly sat on the floor.
Many thanks Playseat and hope to receive atleast an email ref the gearstick mount soon if not the the actual gearstick mount which would be FANTASTIC...... -

The Playseat Challenge is a revelation. Now I can just concentrate on making sure my inputs are right, fully trusting the Challenge as a stable, reliable base from which to operate. What’s more, I’m having way more fun and feeling much more immersed!
The clever design has the wheel secured to the seat assembly, meaning the wheel can’t go anywhere. The pedal assembly is adjustable but stays exactly where I set it so I can be sure of consistency.
I was concerned about the space I had in front of my TV as my living room is not very wide. However, the deckchair-style setup means the back of the seat extends past the base and can overhang the sofa behind it.
The Challenge folds up really quickly and easily and takes up less floor space when folded than my old wheel stand.
The seat looks awesome in PS blue, and the Alcantara finish makes it feel like a proper car!
There are only a few minor detractors. There were a few scuffs on the frame out of the box, but nothing to harm the function. With a PSVR headset on, I find I have to sit with my head and shoulders forward a bit due to the thick headband on the headset interfering with the seat back. However, this is a minor annoyance and not a particular distraction. Also, best to be careful when folding up the chair as I’ve had the pedal assembly flap down unexpectedly on my toes! Best to use a few more of the supplied Velcro strips for extra security.
If you’ve made the investment in a wheel, the Playseat Challenge is an essential accessory. It gives the stability I need to be consistent and concentrate fully on going fast. The fact that it folds up so small and folds out in seconds makes it very practical for those with limited space. -

Ordered directly from the Playseat Store, delivered in 4 days. very easy to put together and easy to adjust. I am an average height and weight and the seat is very comfortable. I am using the Playseat Challenge with a Logitech G29, and had no problems installing.
The most amazing thing is how it folds up to a very reasonable size, even with wheel and pedals hardbolted - even my wife is impressed (relieved) that it can be easily stored.
All in all, you just can't go wrong with this. If you are stuck for space it is a no-brainer, and even if you have lots of space it's worth getting too. Now i just need to learn how to drive properly ....

Unfortunately, there is a minor drawback which makes the seat slightly annoying. The servo mounting position isn't quite rigid and there's definitely some movement there, detracting from the whole experience slightly.

Guess who got a Playseat Challenge, right, I did...
Love it!
Easy to setup. Very solid, especially since it folds up. It is also pretty comfortable but a bit narrow for my somewhat over-size hiney.
Time to race, pull it out, fold down the pedals, sit down, drop the wheel and everything is perfectly setup.
Company coming, it is out of sight in 30 seconds.
I love this chair and wish I had gotten it sooner. If you are on the fence, come on in, the water is perfect, you will not regret it. -

The only ding I have to give it (and it's a quarter star off, not the whole one) is the triangle anchors for the arm rest Velcro bands. The triangle shape sticks out just enough to be noticeable pressing against your outer thigh. Now, I've sat in the chair for at least two hours and have never had any bruising, but an alternate design choice here could eliminate this one contact point. -

Having the wheel fold out makes it very easy to get in and out, while allowing you to have an excellent stability and cockpit environment when in use. I am 5'8 and had no trouble getting I to a comfortable position, with plenty of adjustment available to fit my 6 ft friend as well. The simple strap and backstop system means your pedals are rock solid without having to hardmount them. And the sliding system means you have lots of room to move the pedals and get into the perfect position.
The seat is comfortable, with thick durable material and heavy duty velcro straps that can be adjusted to affect the support and seating angle. While not the easiest system, you can't really adjust while sitting in the seat, it only took me about 10 min of trial and error when I first set it up and haven't thought about it since. I can't really think of a better system for this chair that wouldn't increase complexity, price or weight so I can't fault Playseat for the velco set up. It works well, and is a good solution.
It's not the most stable platform, which is to be expected from something as light as this. However your body weight keeps it well on the ground, and to be honest the little movement that the force feedback causes adds to the immersion for me, as some of the ffb is transmitted into my most, much in the same way motion from a car would be. However I have no qualms about the durability of the chair.
The only concern I have is the plastic piece that locks the wheel carrier in place. I feel that if you didn't properly line up the metal tab with the slot in the plastic and forced it closed to many times that it would potentially break. However I am careful to line it up Everytime I use it and don't think it will break barring user error. I would have liked to see that part be metal as well though, for piece of mind.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I got it on discount, bit would t hesitate to purchase at full price.
Solid 4 out of 5 from me, and a huge step up from other small or cpact alternatives. Great job Playseat! -

The seat itself adds to the immersion factor of simracing. It really is a must to take your experience to another level on a reasonably tight budget or tight space.
The seat is perfect if you are limited on space or need to move it around a lot. It is light weight, can be folded up in a minute and laid back out again swiftly.
The stand that the wheel connects to is very sturdy and perfect for force-feed back wheels such as the g29. The plate can also be adjusted along with the pedal plate for comfort.
In short, I would definitely recommend this seat due to the great value and quality you receive. A highly comfortable and sturdy rig that is perfect for those who are on a tighter budget and lacking space -

1. Delivery was quite faster than promised in emails. Therefore were very happy when i received earlier than i expected.
2. Construction was quite simple, not too much hassle.
3. Sitting process is also cool, when you see right away you don't feel the comfort but after sometime, you feel the ergonomics are good. I wish steering part was adjustable, so you can bring closer to yourself. But still really good.
4. Overall impressions are quite positive. Worths every penny. Definitely awesome for such budget. Please keep it up! -

Being an average married 30 year old, my wife controls every aspect of my life, and thank god she let's me have an office where I can play video games with her permission, but she wasn't going to let me add a big non collapsible sim rig to the room. WHAT AN EYESORE she would think, and so that wasn't going to happen.
THANK YOU TO PLAYSEAT for making a rig which folds up to the size of about 2 folding chairs stacked on eachother, because of this I was able to slowly convince my wife to let me get the rig. My cables are long enough that all I have to do it's fold it up and move it off to the side of my desk when not in use, and I can unfold it and be back in action when I want to play in no time.
Now I'm heel-toeing like a boss, breaking all my old lap records, and looking good doing it.
Build quality is much better than expected given the low price, everything is very solid and I was even able to mount my shifter on the side with minimal wobble.
Can't recommend this thing more. Thank God I found out about it. -

Stable enough for slim guy and G25, easy to get in/out.
The alcantara material is very nice and comfortable, I really like how compact and how easy it is to (un)pack it. Disconnect power adapter/usb put them inside the chair fold the chair, strap it on top, fold pedals, strap them - and that's it - can put it aside and clear the space.
I use it with G25 w/o shifter, Oculus Rift, racing in AC. Previously mounted G25 on computer table and sat on dining chair - obviously quite an improvement from that - also feel my times/consistency improved with it.
Cool product, thanks. -

It has a good position and mounting for your equipment. Shipping was super quick despite coming from the Netherlands. Double boxed and easy to setup. -

After reading the reviews I decided to order. I couldn't believe how quickly it got to the United States. (3 days, I think!) The outer packaging was slightly damaged, but the second inner box was in perfect condition. I unpacked it and had it assembled in about 15 minutes. The Logitech wheel fit perfectly and secured with the included bolts. I was able to adjust the angle of the wheel platform, sitting position, and distance to the pedals so it fit perfectly. I am 6'3" 220lbs. This thing was plenty big, and sturdy enough for me to flop into it. It was also adjustable enough to work for my 9 year old. If you are much bigger than me it may get a little tight. The seat is about 19 inches wide and around your knees, where the wheel supports come down, is about 16.5 inches. Your legs angle in toward the pedals at that point and it fits me well with a little extra room.
Everybody wanted to take a turn once I got it set up. The immersion is incredible between the force feedback on the wheel being passed onto the chair and the VR goggles. Did I mention this thing is comfortable? I told my wife to come check it out. The VR games made her sick to her stomach, but she comented on how comfortable the chair was. She said she wanted to watch a movie in it. I told her to get out and I got back to driving. She can get her own. For something that looks like a lawn chair in the box the Velcro straps across your back, molded headrest, and sturdy frame give excellent support. The wheel and pedals are held securely and allow you to really muscle them around without them going anywhere.
Storing it away is as easy as the other reviews say. Fold the frame, strap, fold the pedals, strap, and slide it into a corner. No more than two minutes. When you unfold it the side Velcro straps put it right back into the position you had it in previously.
For little more than a quality wheel stand, do yourself a favor and pick this up instead. -

This thing is awesome. Super comfortable, great quality alcantara, great mounting points for the T150 (with Ricmotech adapter), and it even included hardware! The only reason I was frustrated by that was because I went and got the exact same bolts it came with because I didn't realize it had them with it!
You can sit in the chair for hours on end and not worry about it, it doesn't get too hot, and there really isn't any noticable movement in the steering wheel plate.
10/10 would recommend, totally worth the price. Just buy the thing already, you know you want it! -

I do not have a dedicated room to play, so I needed a playseat really easy to install and to put away.
I need not more than 30 seconds to do it and to enjoy my Project cars2 in VR mode with a wonderful Logitech G920 controller.
I recommend this play seat very confortable. -
