The only thing buyers should be aware of is that if you have large legs, the metal loops that hold the arm straps dig into your legs making it uncomfortable to sit for any length of time. I used some of the protective foam and rubber bands that came with the packaging to cover the metal clips and it works perfectly so I'm able to sit comfortably.
The conclusion is there's nothing that should prevent you from buying this chair because it comes with everything you could want from a race gaming chair! -

Somewhere in a galaxy, far, far away.....an item later identified as PS5 was discovered. It offered progression of the known.
Deep within it's layers, a parchment was found containing visual depictions that somehow serve to enhance the experience of the PS5 discovery.
Meanwhile, somewhere close to the Adriatic Sea, a young boy was juggling emotions and his thoughts on Christmas, gazing up at the afternoon sky, he sketched something on a piece of paper, tucking it in his back pocket.
Later, he caught up with his father, retelling the events that permeated his day.
The father compelled by what he heard recalled information that passed through the processing chambers of thought attributable only to full grown members of their species.
From an initial scribble amidst thoughts of an afternoon day, current facts occurring simultaneously, then being discovered thousands of miles away.
The quest was on, the challenge...to retrieve and manifest a unique piece of technology that would enhance the process of discovery and bring a new dimension of life, to the idle town Sibenik.
Several communications were sent out to scouts camped on the fringe of Europa with instruction to retrieve the object that would later be known as "Playseat Challenge".
The emphasis of the story is on the bond between young and matured members of our society and how they can combine their innate abilities to bring about, manifest and spread JOY - a highly contagious state that can initiate and spread, just from of an emotion emitted by pure, untainted frequency of a young fulfilled soul.
Epilogue: JOY turned to levels of pandemic, infecting all humanity.
They all played, seated comfortably connected, resolving challenges that plagued our existence from early times.
A new world dawned, a new journey began with promise of hope and prosperity. Abundance of discovery and experiences never witnessed began occurring in random on all fronts of our world.
Merry Christmas son, enjoy the RIDE!
Love,
Dad xoxox -

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. -

Once it is set up, and all the straps are set to the right length for you, it is absolutely great to sit in, being nice and comfortable for 1-3 hour sessions (I start to lose my arms and braking a bit at this point, not due to seat discomfort).
Overall, I would recommend, but only for someone who absolutely needs a folding rig. -

Leider war das Produkt bei Anlieferung beschädigt. Die Naht der Lasche einer Armlehne war komplett kaputt sodass der Playseat in diesem Zustand nicht funktionsfähig war. Da der Gestellhaken nicht entfernt werden kann muss der komplette Rahmen durch einen neuen ersetzt werden. Ärgerlich aber kann ja mal vorkommen...
Sehr positiv hervorzuheben ist der Kundensupport. Auf meine Emailanfrage wurde innerhalb von wenigen Minuten reagiert und ganz unkompliziert ein Ersatzrahmen zugeschickt - top!
Lenkrad und Pedale (Logitech G923) lassen sich problemlos befestigen und können den individuellen Bedürfnissen angepasst werden. Ansonsten ist der Stuhl qualitativ hochwertig und bequem. Bei breiter Statur stören die vorderen Haken etwas an den Beinen aber beeinträchtigen die Sitzposition kaum. Das Gestell kann samt Lenkrad und Pedale platzsparend zusammengeklappt werden. Der Playseat macht einfach Spaß und ist im Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis eine absolute Bereicherung für Rennspiele! -

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. -

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.

Warum die anfängliche Enttäuschung?

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. -

Aufbau:
- leicht und schnell erledigt.
Qualität/Comfort:
- Trotz des einfachen Prinzips sehr stabil und robust,
- Lange sessions sind absolut kein Problem und können
aufgrund des guten Sitzkomforts gehalten werden,
- Passgenauigkeit mit einem FANATEC Set istmöglich
und auch montierbar, lediglich wenn man eine breite
Pedaleinheit hat, wird der mitgelieferte Klettgurt zu
kurz.
Größe und Abmessung:
- auch Aufgebaut kein großer Platzfresser,
- Zusammengeklappt schnell im Schrank oder einer
Nische verstaut (Base und Pedale können montiert
bleiben),
- ich mit 195 cm und 100Kg habe sehr leicht und gut
Platz, Sitze bequem und Stabil, lediglich die
Kopfstütze ist nicht exakt da wo sie sein soll.
Im großen und ganzen kann man den Playseat empfehlen. Er braucht nicht viel Platz, ist Stabil, sieht gut aus und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Auch kann man ihn sehr schnell verstauen wenn man fertig ist und nicht mehr benötigt, was als Argument verwendet werden kann.
Abwicklung und Versand liefen absolut perfekt und reibungslos. Auch hier Daumen hoch!!

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. -

I use a Logitech G920 and it integrates with the seat perfectly.
This seat is awesome in every way. It's fully adjustable to suit any preferred comfort position!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars for comfort, is because I personally like the pedals tilted up slightly instead of being flat on the floor. I made a foam block to lift it and now it's perfect.
Maybe the next gen pedals could have height adjustment at the front to give the user some pedal tilt adjustment if preferred.
Buy this without any fear of quality or design, It's Fully Built for Purpose and excels at it in every way!! -

A conti fatti il Challenge è la soluzione ideale in quanto soddisfa tutte e tre le condizioni. Ma andiamo con ordine.
- Montaggio e ingombro
Il challenge arriva in una TRIPLA scatola quindi nessun rischio di danno al prodotto. Il montaggio è semplicissimo ed è presente un manuale in merito. La prima volta che si monta bisogna montare anche volante e pedaliera e regolare per bene le cinghie in modo da trovare la posizione ideale. Fatto questo una tantum arriva il bello. Il Challenge si richiude come una sedia pieghevole e anche la pedaliera si reclina. Con delle cinghie a velcro che trattengono tutto in modo sicuro lo spessore è veramente irrisorio e il tutto (con tutto si intende Challenge con sopra MONTATI volante e pedaliera) può essere nascosto dietro ad un armadio, sotto al letto o in qualsiasi altro angolo di casa. Puff!
- Prezzo
I materiali sono robusti e anche la seduta è comoda, molto più di quello che ci si aspetterebbe da questo tipo di setup, chiaramente non è paragonabile ai segmenti più alti, ma per il prezzo sul mercato offre molto di più di qualunque alternativa si possa trovare in giro.
- Target
Sicuramente siamo davanti al best buy per un approccio ottimale alla simulazione fatta bene. Non avrete fra le mani un trabiccolo tremolante, regge bene volante e pedaliera e la vostra prima postazione vi darà solo gioie. Non vi resta che abbinarci il volante più opportuno alle vostre esigenze, è compatibile con qualunque periferica.
Consigliatissimo. -

I’m using a Logitech G29 wheel, pedals, and shifter along with a VR headset. It’s by far the most immersive and fun experience I could get for the price and I’m absolutely loving this chair.
My only nitpicks would be that the finish on the tubing is relatively easy to scratch, and I do wish there was an easy solution to mount the shifter in a typical location.
Overall I simply can’t recommend the Playseat Challenge enough. Thank you for making such a great product! -

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! -

Seat was well packaged and arrived in perfect shape.
Assembly was so simple I didn’t have to read the directions.
I am 5’ 6” tall and slender so the seat is comfortable for me.
The seat folds up easily with the fanatec wheel and pedals still attached. It is very easy to fold and unfold and carry back and forth to the closet.
The only thing that seems a little weak is the bar the wheel is attached to. It flexes a bit if you push back and forth on the wheel.

Not here. The Playseat Challenge is a proper rig; one that you could easily swap between casual gaming and serious sim racing. The Playseat team have put in some serious thought into putting this together, staying true to the quality of design and construction Playseat is known for.
Fully adjustable, I managed to get the perfect seating position in minutes (6ft, 90kg). The Alcantara finish makes for hours of comfortable racing while the rig itself suffers from little to no flex with my Logitech G29. One thing I would love is for the pedals to be height adjustable but a small (fixable) detail on an otherwise fantastic product.
Look forward to my next purchase!
Thanks Playseat team! -

I had some back and forths through email with customer service and they were totally nice and helpful even though my questions didn't make sense. I have to give them credit for staying cool and being nice.
I'm so happy I got and it's very easy to fold up depending on the weight of the equipment you use which for me is just a regular Logitech G920.
I'm just an amateur who dabbles in race driving and this definitely helped the experience. I also use it with a VR headset and was very easy to put together and holds up well. -

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.

I have been using it already for more then few weeks and I can say, that it is a really well designed, comfortable, functional, takes very low space when it is not being used.
Even my wife likes it and actually she started to play Rally for the first time in her life :D
My kid is still too little (3y), but he also asks me to let him drive. He climbs up on my knees and likes to test drive for few minutes.
In General, for beginners and when you need to save apartment space - probably it is the best choice.

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. -

Challenge was the chair that fits all the criteria:
1. Foldable
2. Comfortable
3. A bit pricey, but still an okay price
4. Nice quality of materials and overall build quality
Assembly process does not require a lot of time, the initial correction to your body -- this takes quite some time, but it's only at first with minor corrections over the first time playing with it, after that you are good to use it without the need to correct anything.
My usual racing sessions consist of 1.5-3h of driving, not getting up. Before I got Challenge, I was using regular generic dining chair. It was uncomfortable to use and since pedals weren't fixated, had some minor inconveniences that made me poorly focus on racing.
After getting Challenge, I no longer suffer from some random pains, I focus purely on the race, since my wheel, shifter and pedals are fixated properly and do not bother me during racing.
I highly recommend this chair to anyone who is:
1. A beginner and starts getting into sim racing
2. An advanced sim racer who is constricted with the space at home and needs a compact solution (there's just no better alternative to it, except doing everything DIY, which can be even pricier in the end)
Overall I am satisfied by this model and I am happily using it every day.
Thank you, Playseat!
P.S. Ordered my chair on Sunday, it was shipped out on Monday.
Came on Friday and it was a day later than promised by FedEx, but it is because of virus and border shutdown.
Still would say it was very fast shipping and much needed fun delivered right to my home in such unpleasant times in the world. -

I looked at tables, racing rigs on amazon, and then i stumbled upon this. While putting it together you do certainly question if this is what you paid for, but upon hopping in the playseat and running raps in grab Turismo, you quickly see what it is all about.
For a person as myself with a larger frame, I fit in the seat and was definitely held in place. Having the ability to adjust the wheel and pedals to your seating position is great, and serves as a way to have other drivers fit in the seat comfortably.
Already hooked, grabbing more games, and my friends are already looking into getting their own playseats.
I highly suggest getting one, and changing your racing experience moving forward. -

Ordering/Shipping: I ordered my Playseat during their Black Friday sale and got a great deal on it. The order was processed quickly and I received regular updates via e-mail on the status of my order. I had ordered my Playseat on a Sunday. It was delivered on Friday - a mere 5 days to get from the Netherlands to my home in Washington, DC. I received regular shipping updates from the shipper as well, which were much appreciated.
Setup/Installation: The Playseat comes in a decent sized box with just a few pieces to assemble. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and everything was super simple to put together. No tools are required either as they provide everything you could need. I had the entire thing set up in around 5 minutes, which is about as good as you can get for a "plug and play" setup.
Quality: The overall quality is top notch, especially for the price. I'm 6'5" (~1.96m) and 200 pounds (~90kg) and fit comfortably in the seat. The rails are heavy duty enough to where I feel no flex from them when I sit down in the seat and it doesn't flex or move around on me when getting out. The simulated Alcantara they use on the seat itself is great quality and feels somewhat similar to the Alcantara on my actual race seat, and breathes just as well. The swing arm setup for the steering wheel which allows you to get out and into the seat is a basic setup, but works flawlessly and seamlessly.
Design: The section for the pedals is adjustable in or out, so you can really customize where your feet are on the pedals, which is extremely nice.
The overall cradle design of the seat itself is extremely comfortable and very close to my actual racing seat. While you don't get the side bolster support you would from an actual race seat, you obviously don't need it since you're not experiencing any lateral g forces while playing. The straps that support the seat as well are near perfectly placed and don't interfere or bother you at all. While the seat is not adjustable forwards or backwards and has no adjustable lumbar support, I've never found that to be a problem. It seems to be perfectly fit for the proper form while racing.
The mount for the steering wheel is properly centered and easily lifts up and out to allow entry and exit from the seat. The wheel mount is also adjustable up or down like a telescoping steering wheel in a car would be. My one complaint would be that the wheel isn't adjustable up or down. I'd prefer if it was adjustable up or down, but you can adjust the telescope side of the wheel mount pretty easily to compensate pretty well for this.
Overall: If you have limited space and want a great racing seat setup, I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge! It's extremely comfortable, well built and designed, folds up and stores easily and looks great! I've spent easily 40 hours in my seat since I received it and have recommended it to all of my racing friends who have mentioned in the past wanting a home setup. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one again! -

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.
All in all though, the seat is excellent value for those looking for a smaller footprint racing seat. -

Na opzoeking gedaan te hebben ben ik bij playseat challenge uitgekomen en de gearshift suport.
De playseat challenge is gemakkelijk in elkaar re steken, ik had zelfs de handleiding niet nodig want alles wijst zichzelf uit.
Mijn Logitech G27 past er goed op en gemakkelijk gemonteerd alsook de shifter op de optionele gearshift support.
De kabels kan je mooi vastmaken met de bijgeleverde velcro strips.
Na het spelen kan je de stoel eenvoudig opvouwen en dan neemt die weinig plaats in.

Playseat very comfortable, strong and light, easy to assemble and fold. There is no need to disassemble steering wheel or pedals to store.
Perfect solution for lack of space in the game area and you can save it anywhere.

The only weak point is that the seat is not enough adjustable to be used by kids smaller than 150cm, therefore my little son needs to wait for a couple of more years. I believe that can be fixed by making liftable pedals frame.

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 -

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.

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! -
