The only thing I don't care for is the fact that everything is sold seperate. I didn't realize we needed more parts until the chair was here.(adjustable seat and gear shifter) -

The seat itself is very comfortable and fully and easily adjustable to accommodate any size person. I can (and already have) spend hours in a comfortable and representative racing position flying around Zandvoort. The authenticity really increases the simulation experience.
Overall, a great buy on a budget. No such thing as buyer's remorse! -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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 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 :)

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!

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! -

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'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! -

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.

The setup was also pretty straight forward and took no time at all. It's also easy to move the thing around and the seat can be adjusted forward so it takes up less space. If you want to take your driving games up to another level the Playseat Evolution is a no brainer.
The free shipping to Iceland was also a fantastic touch! -
