Santa got this chair for my sons Xmas, set it up yesterday and was simple enough. The kit is solid and robust. Chair is very comfy and my son loves it, his face on Xmas morning was a joy. He’s never been off the chair since, probably see him about January. Recommend the chair for its quality, easy adjustments, and overall easy set up. Hopefully my son will get will get years of enjoyment which I’m sure he will.

The racing simulation seat will revolutionize your video gaming experience and take it to an unprecedented level - real excitement and thrill guaranteed! The shapely play seat offers a sensationally realistic feeling right in the middle instead of just being there. The multi-adjustable gamer seat is compatible with common steering wheels and pedals, regardless of whether you play on the computer or a game console. Combined with a comfortable sitting feeling for hours of gaming, nothing stands in the way of your next fight for the fastest lap. Just imagine the envious looks of your buddies when you spice up your living room with the ultimate fun machine in an uncompromising motorsport look! And still in this wonderful red. The sporty racing seat is made of absolutely high-quality material and the extremely stable frame made of painted steel is variably adjustable. We also recommend the mat as a base (the small one is sufficient) and perhaps the slider for quick adjustment. Whether with a PC or a game console - for every gamer with gasoline in their blood, this simulation seat is a must-have for even more driving fun.

Wow! What a fabulous bit of kit, well worth what I paid for it, looks good, feels premium and is solid and sturdy.

Okay, I bought mine in the sale, I'd been looking at a Challenge for a while and the Evolution came up for about £20 more, for me it was too good a deal, it took a little longer to arrive than the declared 48 hours, but I believe this was an issue with FedEx.

It arrived double boxed, so the display box was in perfect condition, once opened the Evolution was in perfect condition with all screws, bolts and tighteners in bags, the instructions were simple and easy to follow, I would highly recommend buying the slider optional add on, it's easy to fit and makes things so much easier for adjustments.

The actual chair is of good quality with a long lasting covering with the stitching being good, in red it is eye catching! The chair is easy to affix to the frame and put into the upright position. Personally I have found it to be incredibly comfortable even over a period of a couple of hours, others have mentioned the centre bar being obstructive to the braking pedal, I found this easy to overcome by fixing the pedals slightly more to the left, simple.

The actual design is good with strong welding and heavy bolts used, there are a multitude of options to find the most suitable driving position by sliding the wheel forward and back, once you have found the correct leg distance to the pedals. The steering column is strong with only a slight among of movement which, in my opinion, does not affect driving in any way.

Fun? The chair itself is not 'fun', however it does help immerse you further into your chosen driving game, with a triple monitor set up and the lights low, you could 'almost' believe you are in a car, it's fun to actually be in the seat.

First of all, the estethic of the seat is phenomenal.
The red seat give you the sensation of racing and the dark grey complex table/pedalboard is something special.
The Playseat evolution is easy to customize according to the preferences. The pedalboard is movable from the seat and table and it is also tiltable so you can create various position (e.g. for F1 or GT drive).
Maybe the seat is not so accomodating but after some trials you definitely should find the comfort zone.
At that price it's difficult to find something more complete.
Last but not least. So easy to build up.

When the chair finally arrived after some delays from FedEx, it was brilliantly boxed, the stylish display box within a strong brown box to help prevent any damages during transit.

The display box is sturdy with good information printed on the outside, the actual chair and ancillary pieces were stored well inside with very little opportunity for pieces to move about. Removing all the components from the box was easy, although checking all the nuts bolts and bits did cause me some initial concern as 6 small bolts were missing, but discovered they were in a different bag.

Assembling the chair was straight forward and hassle free, even adding in the slider was easy, I would recommend all persons buying this product to also get the slider accessory, it works great!

The chair itself is very comfortable and of great quality, strong stitch work and excellent covering.

The only issue I have had, is that there is a lack of lumbar support, easily remedied with a lumbar support cushion available from all good retailers. Others have stated that long sessions can be uncomfortable due to metal framework on the back support where the chair folds, I've not noticed it myself even after multiple 2+ hour sessions.

It also came with sticky backed velcro pads of various sizes, I've yet to figure out what to do with these, but they must be there to enhance the experience. The wheel support is solid with minimal movement, same with the pedal mount although I think I will need to give it some support at some stage, even though it is a hefty solid piece of steel.

Driving in the seat is a great experience and has helped me to really immerse myself into my driving sims, it has added another level to my game.

I think this is an excellent chair/rig that would be a good looking addition to anyone's game room or wherever you choose to play, it's good value for what I paid for it, it was only £20 more than the challenge, so pretty much a steal.

Overall I would definitely recommend this chair to anyone who enjoys F1, GT Racing or Rallying.

Thanks Playseat.

This chair was the best thing to happen to me all year, I thought was just getting a chair, I was getting the chance to race, this has elevated the playing field and I now am placing better in races. This chair is what takes you from a gamer to a racer, this chair is what takes you from mid pack to winning any race. I think that this chair is the key to my success in my up and coming sim racing career.

I bought the Playseat Evolution during the Black Friday sale and it has made a world of difference to my gaming experience

It is easy to assemble, strong and stiff, comfortable and the seat backrest can be folded forward to make it a bit more compact when not in use.

The only minor flaw I can think of is that the steering column may get in the way of braking depending on the setting.

Have wanted one of these seats for the longest so this black Friday I thought I would go for it... And I'm glad I did the chair is well made and comfy I previously had a playseat challenge so this was the obvious next step holds my thrustmaster t300 and t3pa peddles with no issue I am still finding a perfect position in terms of reach and rake for wheel but instantly the upright GT style position is helping me with my racing I would 100% reccomend to anyone thinking about getting one just ensure you have adequate space to store it... Assembly went smoothly with me and my better half completing it in around 30 mins I wish I had got the seat slider with it for that extra layer of fine tuning but overall a great cockpit solution that also doubles up as a cool comfortable seat that I also play other games in simply removing the peddle section the red and black look amazing and people always ask about it

I bought this simulator with the knowledge that I was already playing it safe with Playseat, but it exceeded my expectations!
I use the simulator on my bed (I know, strange position XD) but despite this the simulator is solid, gives a good driving feeling and is also comfortable. You can have various driving positions and it's always effective, solid and comfortable. I couldn't have made a better choice, highly recommended (especially given its cost!)

It looks complicated at first, but honestly this is so easy to put together and to modify in size when completed. I had it together in about half an hour on my own.

The seat is quite low and there is no means of raising it. Give it some consideration around the placement of your TV screen.

I bought this chair as a Christmas gift for my 12 year old son. He does not have lots of whishes except a steering wheel for his racing games. What he does not know is, he also gets a red playseat chair too. Well hard to say what is better gift. The steering wheel, what he wishes, or the playseat. I guess we all know...

I was searching quiet a lot for a Racingseat on a small budget. The PLAYSEAT® EVOLUTION caught my eye caused by its pricy look but still relatively low price. I chose the Red one because the colors perfectly matched with my Gaming Chair.

It came in a well packaged but also small box and with the clear constructions it was built in no time.

The First seat felt very comfortable considering the low price. And even after ours of racing I felt no pain in the back or any like this.

The best part of this cockpit is that it is fully adjustable so that everyone of my 7 headed family could race in it. But I think a second one would be better so that I can race without 3 little brothers in my back wanting to race too. :)

From my Side this seat gets a big recommendation :)

This company is amazing! First of all I want to point out how incredible the shipping experience was. My Playseat Evolution came all the way from Europe to Georgia (USA) in under a week! Tracking number came within minutes by Fedex, packaging was secure and arrived with no damage. Now for the seat: first thing that caught my eye was the impressive quality of the materials used. Assembly was easy and simple, and pairing up my wheel posed no challenge. The chair is comfortable and gives you an amazing "real drive experience"! Experience was great, and would certainly recommend this company. I would 100% recommend getting one if you want to sim racing or even if you are an avid sim racer. This chair really makes a huge difference!

I was looking for a good quality set up to use for F1 sim driving.
I looked at various options available and decided that a Playseat was the way to go.

Then came the discision of which one to buy.

The range of Playseat products is excellent and there is someting for all budgets and needs.

I finally settled on the Evolution beause the more upright seating position if better for me personally.

It arrived very quickly and was quie easy and quick to set up.
Build quality is very good and it is sturdy without being too heavy.

I use the Fanated CSL Elite F1 and it fitted perfectly.
I have diven many laps on many tracks and find it is extremely comfortable.

My car control and speed has improved significantly since using the Evolution which is a big plus point for me.
I drive every week in a League race which means I am in the seat for quite some time so it is important to be comfortable to be consistent.

Would I recommend the Playseat Evolution?
Yes I would, and I already have!

I recently brought the evolution white whilst struggling to find a good chair. This chair is perfect for me I love how it feels very similar to the seats in my car. I brought mine with the seat slider and gear shift holder which I would highly recommend to anyone semi serious about doing some sim racing/driving. Moving from a wheel and pedal stand and separate chair to this has been perfect, effortless setup and easy to swap the wheel over. 100% would recommend.

I’ve been sorely missing driving my IRL car, so decided to order a Playseat after trying to use a Logitech G29 without one (pro tip: don’t do this). The seat makes all the difference, and it’s kept me playing Gran Turismo & F1 2019 every evening since it arrived. My sanity is thankful.

Iv been sim racing a few years, but using a wheel and pedal stand with a pc chair. Desided now was the time to finally get a seat and rig where seat position could be same all the time and so i dont have pain in my lower back if i did a endurance race.
So took the leap and placed my order. Really quick delivery and on time as per the tracker.
The putting it together was pretty straight forward. Id say toughest part is actually getting the pedal and steering colum positions just right but not to difficult.
Seat is lovely both in looks feel and comfort. Since getting the seat in the right positions for me iv even notice my lap times starting to get faster! So even better!
Overall this is a great product which i have no regrets making the leap and getting. If you thinking about this then you should go for it!

Very pleased with my order from Playseat Store, I bought this as a birthday gift for my partner. It was delivered within the 48 hours as promised which I was surprised about due to the ongoing climate. I had tracking updates all the way up to the item being delivered. The item was double boxed and seemed to be easy to assemble (didn’t do it myself), took a few times for him to get the right seating position but once he had it, it was good to go. Would definitely order from here again and would highly recommend. Thanks.

This is my review of the Playseat Evolution and Gear Shift Holder PRO

By Harry Shreeve aged 14

Playseat Evolution and Gear Shifter PRO review

When the package arrived very shortly after purchase (very fast 48 hour delivery considering it came from another country) I rushed it inside to release it form its box. The wonderful looking seat was packaged perfectly and safely, leaving it impossible to become damaged. I removed the chair from its packaging and with a smile on my face I constructed the fine looking racing simulator. At purchase I was worried of the hours I would have to spend building it; however I soon realised upon installation that this was going to be a very quick task. The instructions were informative and easy to follow. I sat in the seat to test its stability and feel, however found myself struggling to remove myself from the seat due to its sheer comfort. I could sleep in it! I am typing this review whilst sat in it! When using the product you find yourself to feel just like you are sat in a real car, as it gives such a realistic feel, it really is the perfect racing simulator set up, a real 'must have item' for any car enthusiasts. Personally I use a wheel with force feedback (a Logitech G920) and was worried the seat would wobble when the force feedback chirps up like a raging bull, however the whole item is rigid and could take whatever the wheel could throw at it.

To summarise in one sentence I would say: A must have item, rigid, beautiful, comfy and perfect.

Purchasing the seat was simple and quick, you just search your item click on it, add to basket and safely and securely order your fabulous new racing set up. But there is more! You can buy accessories to further improve your already awesome Playseat, for example you could take it up a notch (in terms of realism) and purchase the seat slider which gives you the ability to move your seat back and forth just like a real car! This is also handy if your mates or any visitors fancy a drive on the rig, and they are taller or shorter than you, this is the perfect accessory to easily change the height, so anyone could use it! Also, if like me you have a gear shifter there is the Playseat Gear Shift Holder PRO which is firmly secured onto your Playseat and is adjustable for anyone who wants to use it. The Gear Shift Holder is very stable and refuses to wobble no matter how rough you are with it!

So finally what would I rate this perfect product on a scale of 1 to 10? 1000000000000000 is what I would rate it. It really is the perfect racing simulator from Playseat.

Thank you Playseat for this wonderful package, with amazing value for money. It is the best birthday present money could buy.

I finally decided to go for it and order myself a playseat, not knowing that 2 days later the whole country would go into lock down due to the coronavirus pandemic! Somehow it still arrived the following week, one day ahead of schedule even, and it certainly has got some good use already during this strange period.

I've had a steering wheel and pedals for almost 2 years now, but due to not having anywhere suitable to mount them and not finding time, I have barely been able to enjoy them. Now thanks to Playseat I finally can do that, and I really am enjoying it so much, maybe even more than I thought I would. I only now wonder why I waited so long to buy one...

Regarding the seat itself, I am very happy with the product. It is comfortable, it's got full adjustability to get the right position, and it's very sturdy despite being more towards the lower end of the market in pricing. I do fully recommend it to anyone considering buying one, particularly if you are not able to or don't want to spend the money on a more expensive setup.

As others have said, the assembly was very straight forward and I had it all ready to go in under an hour, including with the seat slider that I purchased additionally. It handily comes with all the tools you need (a couple of Allen keys) and even extra bolts for mounting the pedals. That part was the only bit that I had a little difficultly with, which was aligning the holes of the pedal plate to my pedal unit (g29) but for now I have attached it through the lower row of bolts only (there are 2 rows on this unit) and it feels very strong and secure.

Overall, a very happy customer!

I’ve been using the playseat for about 1 month now. Setting it up was straightforward and took me about 30 min. Thrustmaster T300rs could be mounted on it easily.
The racing experience got so much better with this Playseat. No more back- or legpain after multiple hours of racing. The seat barely moves while driving.
Materials used are very decent and durable. This is a one-time buy (until you want to upgrade ofcourse).
The seat can easily be adjusted from small kids to tall adults.
