    Purchased on my wifes account but I wanted to review this myself: Ive wanted a home cockpit solution for a long time. Some way to get my peripherals off of my desk and, as a bonus, not wrench my steering wheel or shift knob from its clamp. To not have to hold my flight joystick in my lap and my throttle quadrant sitting on a homemade table. The OpenWheeler fits the bill and then some! I got the basic seat as well as the Civil Aviation configuration and the HOTAS configuration. Also added in the seat risers and the mount for my Buttkicker transducer. Everything came well and safely packaged and labeled at a level I dont think Ive experienced before. The bags had each screw set for each possible setup clearly labeled and seperated from the other parts. Bags inside bags had labels. The labels all correspond with a brightly colored, well written instruction manual. There are tools for each part requiring assembly. Real tools that could go in my toolbox. As a bonus, some of the extra configurations required different tools. They were included too. There were tools to deal with 3rd party peripherals! You can literally lock yourself in an isolated room with your peripherals, open the box or boxes and have EVERYTHING you need to assemble anything you purchased without ever leaving that room. Assembly of all of that, by myself, took me about two hours but I was taking my time at it. The only fly in my ointment was trying to attach the seat back to the seat bottom. The holes just didnt want to line up. I eventually put the assembly on its side and was finally able to get everything where it was supposed to be. I think that was more a symptom of trying to do it by myself than any fault with the product, especially considering it hasnt had a single issue at that attachment point since I put it together. I think my only other gripe was with the instructions for assembling the HOTAS. It took me a little bit to realize that I had to remove a base plate from my Warthog throttle quadrant (that I didnt realize was there because I just thought that was the bottom of the throttle) For the assembly itself, the seat is very comfortable and adjustable. Just having the forward/back adjustment alone is awesome. Between the frame adjustments, seat adjustments... Heck, I can even recline the seat back like I do in my car. Ive used this for both racing and flying. Its pretty easy to change out the peripherals as the whole thing is modular. Once you tighten it down, its solid as a rock. Racing with a FFB steering wheel, I can crank on the wheel, it can jump and buck all it likes... Solid as a rock. It is a game changer compared to having those things clamped to my desk. For flying, no Force Feedback there but... I can adjust every component to just the right height, just the right distance and, again, solid as a rock. It makes a big difference. The seller is extremely interested in the product and ensuring that the customer is getting outstanding customer support. I reached out to ask about the center mount for the joystick and mentioned that I was looking for another base plate for my joystick so I could switch between HOTAS and center mount easily and not have to disassemble the attachment plates every time. When the seller noticed I had ordered the center mount but had not replied to his answer to my questions, he took it upon himself to include in my order extra base plates as well as some knobs and very detailed instructions on how I could accomplish what I was trying to do. Upon hearing that one of my mounting plates appeared to be tilting and I wasnt sure why, he provided detailed information on what might be wrong, how to fix it and, if I cant fix it, stated he would replace it. The customer service is way above par. As a matter of fact, I cant say if Ive ever dealt with a merchant that went that far out of their way to ensure that the customer is happy with their purchase. As I said in the title, I think this is worth the purchase. Not only for a solidly made product that does exactly everything that is advertised and does it very well, but because the customer service itself, the interest of the seller in the customer and the product is, bar none, the best Ive ever seen. If youre on the fence, hop off of it. This is an excellent purchase you wont regret.

    Ive been eyeing a good simulator seat for a while now, pulled the trigger on this one at the beginning of April and I am GLAD I did. Firstly, the seller (HomeRacing), fulfilled my order much faster than anticipated - my original date range for delivery was the 14th through the 24th of April (ordered on the 2nd) but they had it shipped out by Monday the 5th and made it by the 9th. I actually missed the first delivery on the 8th because I wasnt expecting it and slept through FedEx at my door! The product itself does require a fair bit of assembly, but it comes with all of the tools and instructions you will need - wrenches, allen keys, etc. All of the various nuts, bolts, washers, and other hardware come in small bags that are clearly labeled as to where they should go. It may be a little overwhelming when you first open the box, but follow the instruction booklet and you should have it ready within a few hours. The only issue I had with assembly is that sometimes it isnt clear what order you should place washers on bolts, etc, but other than that it was a fairly easy assembly. Another small issue is with the set of rolling wheels that attach to the back of the seat frame, they could stand to be slightly larger in diameter to help the back rails clear the carpet when rolling the seat from my office where it is stored when not in use, to my living room where it is used in tandem with my VR play area. I say this not to complain, but just to offer a small critique on how the product could be improved. To me it is still well worth it. I purchased the flight sim configurations to come with it - namely config #1 and config #4 as well as the seat risers. It more or less matches the virtual seat I see when playing Elite: Dangerous in VR, and having a solid platform on which to mount my HOTAS makes a world of difference. The seat is comfortable and solid, and great for long play periods - as someone who struggles with back pain having this has made a difference! I will probably end up ordering the lumbar and neck pillows as well as the 4-point harness (not that I need it but it would add to immersion when flying). The frame is heavy but solid and it does not feel flimsy at all. Finally, a word to the versatility of this product - this is meant to be a one-stop solution to all your sim seat needs, whether youre looking for a commercial aviation setup, a stick jockey like myself, or a tires-to-the-pavement racer. Ive never played racing games before but now I am looking into getting a steering wheel and shifter setup to have with the original configuration. The plates and attachments are designed to be quickly removed and swapped out, so you can rapidly reconfigure from wheel-shifter-car pedals to stick-throttle-rudder pedals, so you can go from playing Forza or Grand Turismo to Elite: Dangerous, Ace Combat, or Microsoft Flight Sim within minutes. All together this product is well worth the money, its versatility will make it useful for many different games and it has solid construction that feels like it will last for years. Once I pay it off Im going to be looking to upgrade to additional controllers such as a VKB/Virpil flight stick as well as some racing controllers, but this product will make a great base for my future sim needs.

    Compared to other brands like Next Level or GT Racing, You get MUCH MUCH more for your buck. Great build quality and even better upgradability. I just ordered the 5 raising kit and wow its perfect. Do yourself a favor and buy this one. I did extensive research and for the lower tear racing cockpits, this is hands down the best option. Fast shipping and included actual tools to assemble. I was shocked to see some actual wrenches included. Great product.

    The seat came on time and the installation was easy to follow. I ran into an issue with one of the steps and ended up calling customer service on a Sat afternoon, the response was pleasantly surprising. The most responsive customer service I have ever experienced, the issue was resolved within 5 mins of my placing the call. The seat has the backrest and the seat position (front/back) adjustments that make it easy to adapt to ones comfort and style. The steering wheel and the brake pedal setup are designed to fit seamlessly to the controllers, I used logitech g29 gear and it fit without any issues. Great product overall and excellent customer service!!

    First off, I totally love this thing. It is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to setup, very comfortable. Adjustable in just about any way you want. Seller is nothing short of amazing. Sent me the hotas setup for my elite dangerous for free. Responds to questions very quickly and was a major help in getting this thing working. My particular setup required three plates which he sent me without a issue. I highly recommend this rig regardless of if you’re into racing or flight. It’ll work great. Instructions are very easy to understand, just be sure you are using the correct parts and you won’t have issues.

    As the title says, this product turned out better than I thought. The construction is solid with minimal plastic parts. Most of the metal is aluminum or coated and feels very rigid. The seat is comfortable and has a cut out for flight sticks. Assembly with my other sim devices was well explained with the directions and easy to install. With this order I picked up the flight sim package with the chair. A representative from the company contacted me and told me one item was included with the order and refunded the cost of the extra item without a second thought. Delivery was prompt! The packaging was rigid and provided excellent protection of the components. This setup has been amazing for my immersive VR flight sim experience! Overall, I would give this company more than 5 stars if I could - especially with the exceptional customer service! I like that they provide a multitude of upgrade options and that their prices are reasonable for a beginner or experienced sim player. I highly recommend this company and their products without hesitation.

    I did a bit of research before buying this seat and a lot of reviewers were saying this one is great for the price. My entire setup is entry level, what I have is: Logitech G923 wheel Logitech G923 pedals w/ AXC truebrake mod Logitech Shifter Meta Quest 2 w/ official link cable Customer Service: 5/5 I have had to contact customer service twice. I asked them about the Buttkicker mount over the phone, I didnt catch the guys name but he was extremely helpful. I ended up ordering the mount based on what he explained to me. The other time I had to contact the company was the seat back had a small snag in it. Im assuming this happened in shipping because the QA on everything else from these guys is excellent. The box wasnt in perfect shape when it was dropped off, and was sitting on its side. Its very possible the shippers caused this problem. I contacted the company and explained the issue, they shipped me a new seat back - no hassle at all. THIS COMPANY IS GREAT! Ergonomics: 4.5 / 5 I am able to get the shifter, pedals and wheel to a position that feels nice for me. I am a little taller than 6ft and 260ish lb. The seat feels good, but could use more lower back support. I will be trying a pillow I have lying around the house before I order the pillow that goes w/ this seat. The bottom clamps on the Logitech wheel do impact my knees sometimes - which pulls my immersion out of the VR headset and back into the real world. This is fixed slightly by adjusting the way I move my legs. The real fix is I need to dig into the wheel and remove the clamps as a long term fix. This is not a major issue and the impact rarely happens now that I am used to how I need to sit. I drive a Miata IRL and I have better legroom in this rig than the Miata. Build Quality: 5/5 The rig is well put together and once you tighten down all the adjustments it is extremely solid. The seat is nicely made, feels sturdy. The pedal plate is very solid - I have the AXC truebrake mod which requires more force than stock Logitech pedals. I get no plate flex at all, the Logitech pedal case flexes and groans more than the rig does. I am planning to get into VR flight sims next, this seat is what I will use. I will order the alternate pieces to convert this to flight sim. If I had the space I would just buy a second seat dedicated for a flight sim setup - the setup is that good! Love this company, very glad I gave them a chance - they have a customer forever!

    Fantastic. Excellent level of adjustability. It is quite low to the ground, but it works great. I’m 6’3” and no complaints.

    We got this for my son for Christmas. He is 12 and its a great fit for his size and he has plenty of room to also grow into it. He has it on the second to smallest setting. So I would definitely say age 10+ would be the best starting age for this seat. The assembly was pretty easy, the seat is in one piece and then you need to attach the stand. He uses it with the Thurstmaster TMX Pro wheel and it mounted nicely to the stand. The only drawback (which has nothing to do with the seat but the wheel) is that the USB wire needs to run from the wheel to the Xbox so there is a wire on the floor that can be a tripping hazard. Overall happy with the purchase and its great quality

    The built quality is above and beyond. All materials went into the frame is a top notch stuff and the welding is done to perfection. Some of people complaining about the seat but I disagreed, I play games hours at a time in it with comfort. I would recommend get the Seat Lift Kit. Without them its too low to the ground.
