After a long time of thinking, I ordered the Playseat Formula Pro on Playseatstore. The Playseat F1 Pro is the best compromise in seating position and design. That part looks great. The seating position is quite comfortable and you can also drive for several hours at a time. Delivery took place quickly despite the Corona Virus. The support of Playseatstore is very nice and helpful. Due to the super instructions , the setup was done in about an hour and easy to carry out with the enclosed tools. The feeling of driving is unique and it‘s always fun to sit in the seat and drive a few laps. I can recomend the Playseat F1 Pro to anyone who mainly plays formula simulation games. In this sense keep on racing!!!Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

I ordered online and received the whole package a few days later. (Had to pay $195 for customs but it's normal). Sure it takes a little time and efforts to assemble it but the result is worth it!! I found out that the steering wheel column was a little damaged (ripped) and Playseat support directly sent me another one free! Stunning product, stunning customer service!! Thank you Playseat!Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

Very well engineered and designed piece of domestic kit. Took me a couple of hours to build. The instructions were very easy to follow and understand. It looks sleek and classy now I’ve completed building it. Very happy with. Only small negative is the price.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun

Quality of the product is solid. A lot of reviews I read commented on flex, but I have a Fanatec Podium on this thing and no flex for me- solid build.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun
Another thing people mention is the bar in the middle as a problem. Since I primarily race f1, also not a huge issue for me as there is no clutch to worry about for me.
Product does sit low, and I would be very interested in buying a riser/platform if available.
Design is stellar. I imagine the licensing fee for this is crazy and is reflected in this cost, but man...it looks good. -

Ordered on a Wednesday morning US ET time, product was shipped out almost immediately and delivered Friday afternoon US ET time. Less than 48 hours! Took time to assemble...read I am very bad with understanding visual instructions :). I would like to say it feels like a 2 person job (just with how heavy some of the parts are)...i did manage to get the thing assembled in a few hours. All my sim equipment is Fanatec; i.e., wheelbase Clubsport v2.5, clubsport formula v2 steering, CSL Elite pedals (with loadcell) connected to an Xbox One. Everything except the pedals went on seamlessly. The pedals/ pedal base could not be mounted with the screws I had (provided). I researched a little and people had done different things to mount...including drilling, etc. I have had issues with keeping the pedal/ pedal base stable in the past and have always found zip ties work awesome. Easy to install, easier to remove and crazy stability. Lined up 6 holes (3 on each side)...the pedals do not move a MM. Improved lap times starting with the first lap just with the seating position and overall comfort. This was my first order with Playseatstore. I was skeptical given my experience with Fanatec shipping, delivery and customer support. I am very very impressed! Maybe Playseat should work closely with Fanatec and help them improve their delivery and customer support. Definitely will be back for more...Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

I timed the order of my Mercedes seat so badly (my fault entirely) having deliberated into lock down they sold out! Anyway, I placed a pre-order and 2 weeks later it arrived, beautifully packaged. Being understandably cautious, it took no more than 90 minutes to assemble fully with my Fanatec wheel and pedals. When assembling you realise what you're paying for; the quality is obvious and this is only surpassed when you actually sit in the seat! It is so comfortable you could sit in it for hours. All I can say is there is nothing bad you can say about the Playseat Pro F1 and in the Mercedes colours it looks so good you won't want to hide it away.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -

Love the seat. It’s very sturdy and heavy, made of mostly metal components.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun
The seating position is a great way to know how it feels to sit in a F1 (or similar) car. Though after a while without lumbar support your back starts to ache a little.
It took me around 2hrs to get it fully assembled by myself. The main difficulty was getting the pedal stand in place due to its tight fitting. And the Logitech G29 pedal system doesn’t quite fit with the steering stand column getting in the way of the brake pedal. I’m looking into to switching the brake and clutch pedals.
It is very enjoyable and the games feel a lot more immersive than using a controller and I like to think it shaves a few tenths off (probably doesnt).
To give you a scale of size, it comfortably fits on a typical yoga mat (length and width) and the highest point (back of the seat) is around the standard height of a desk.
Very pleased with the purchase and I have received a lot of positive comments from it, mostly that it “looks immense” -

The F1 Mercedes Playseat is a great new addition to my racing setup. I was looking for a seat specially designed for open wheel driving and the F1 Playseat fit the bill precisely. The seat was shipped right away and upon opening the boxes I discovered assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. The engineering is superb. I managed to get most of the rig assembled without assistance, but needed an extra set of hands to line up the bolts on the seat back. I recommend getting all the bolts loosely in place first before tightening things down so everything has some room to fall into place. I am using the F1 Playseat with a Fanatec DD2 wheel. The wheel puts out a tremendous amount of torque and I have been pleased with how ridged the platform is. There is some occasional flex, but when driving it is not noticeable at all. I installed the V3 Fanatec pedals, but replaced them with the two pedal Elites because the V3 does not permit horizontal adjustment of the brake and clutch pedals, and a centerline brake is not comfortable with the main pedestal occupying the space immediately between your feet. The Elites allow for horizontal placement of the pedals which makes the rig extremely comfortable to drive. I may eventually buy a load cell, but we'll see how it goes. I do my driving in VR and I have the rig separate from my monitor, as well as apart from my mouse and keyboard. With the Rift S the knob on the back of the headset rests up against the headrest of the F1 Playseat. This results in a head forward tilt which can become uncomfortable over time. I resolved the issue with a cushion on my back. For non-VR drivers this won't be an issue, but if you drive VR you will likely need a cushion to eliminate the problem. It would be nice if the padded headrest could be removed, maybe in a future version. To solve the mouse issue I bought a Logitech wireless trackball mouse which now sits conveniently to the right of the Playseat. The adjustability of the rig for pedal and steering wheel reach is simply outstanding. The two knobs lock and unlock authoritatively and once set there is no movement, totally rock solid. This is great if you have guests as adjusting the rig is as simple as it gets. The bolts allowing the wheel unit to pivot up and down require a good deal of torque to hold them in place, but once secured there is no movement. Cables are nicely organized by sorting through the main pedestal to the wheel and then under the unit. The whole rig is extremely clean and pleasing to the eye, scratch that, it's gorgeous! Entry is fairly simple, just stand over the unit and settle into the seat, but I have yet to sort out an elegant way of dismounting. So far I do a tuck and roll. I am delighted with the purchase and would recommend it for anyone who is a fan of open wheel cars and especially F1.Overall Price / Quality Comfort Design Fun -
