> 3 dayThis product is professional from the top down. Fabric seats, heavy duty frame, and several points of easy adjustment that allow you to truly customize pedal distance and angle, Steering wheel angle and distance, and seat and seat back positioning. Very secure mounting options for most popular set ups. My Thrustmaster fits perfectly. I am in awe of the quality and comfort of it. My new number one accessory.

> 3 dayEase of Assembly-(5 Stars) Everything came packaged and labeled at a level Ive never 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 well written colored instruction manual. There are tools for each part requiring assembly. Real tools, not the generic kind. As a bonus, some of the extra configurations required different tools. They were included as well. Racing Cockpit-(5 stars) Well constructed steal cockpit. Each piece fits smoothly together. Very customizable & multiple adjustments to fit every size. The seat was comfortable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

> 3 dayThis chair is built nicely for the price point. My Thrustmaster wheel and handbrake mounted perfectly in the provided mounting holes and feel solid as can be. Ive been using mine constantly for the last 6 months and it is still as good as new. Assembly is simple and the chair reclines/adjusts with a side lever just like a car seat and it stores away easily as well. For the price point, youd be pressed to find a better SIM racing seat. I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayI bought this chair and really like it. It provides a great racing experience. I use it along with a Thrustmaster T-GT Racing Wheel and pedals and a Samsung Odyssey+ VR headset. When playing Project Cars 2 it literally feels like Im driving a real car. Its very fun and very realistic. The chair itself isnt as at the same level as a real car seat. But with that being said both the chair and the frame are well made and feel very solid. And the seat can be adjusted just like a regular car seat. You can also adjust the position and angle of the steering wheel mount. The pedal mount can also be adjusted front, back, left and right. This thing can be adjusted to fit just about anybody. I have seen some complaints about the wheel post being in the way. I havent had a problem with that. But I did have to adjust the pedal mount to one side to make things work. The post is solid and works fine. One nice thing about it is that it moves a very small amount when using heavy force feed back. This causes road effect to be felt better through the steering wheel and also provides a small amount of road effect feel to the frame, seat, and pedals. But you would probably need a steering wheel with strong force feedback ability to get this effect. I bought the 5 inch riser kit option when I got the seat and Im glad I did. I would STRONGLY recommend getting it to anybody. It raises the seat 5 inches. Which makes it easier to get in and out of. It also improves the angles of the pedals in relation to your feet (in my opinion).

> 3 dayThis is an excellent entry level frame and I have been very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend getting the optional seat risers to make it more comfortable. I removed a star because Im having issues with the plate the steering wheel mounts to coming loose from the bracket used for adjusting tilt. It uses 4 hex screws, but they painted this part assembled so paint is in the sockets of the screws. I tried to tighten the screws back down, but with paint getting in the way I couldnt get the Allen wrench in all the way and it stripped. Trying to find replacements for those screws. EDIT: Im changing my review to five stars because they reached out to me right away to fix the issue. I think I was able to get the screws tight enough and I used some blue threadlocker, so I hopefully dont need their assistance. Well see, Im waiting for the threadlocker to cure. The paint definitely made this whole process a pain though.

> 3 dayWhen I received my unit, the plastic cover to the recliner spring had broken in shipping. I contacted the seller and they were able to quickly send me a replacement FedEx next-day. This seat is sturdy, and comes with everything you could need to set it up. Even down to the little things like including felt pads for moving on a hard floor, and velcro pads for attaching accessories (I used some to easily attach a USB hub). All the bolts, washers, screws, etc. for mounting each brand of wheel, pedals, or shifter are all individually packaged and labeled, and they make sure you have all the wrenches and hex wrenches you need to assemble everything.

> 3 dayExcellent build quality and design. Extremely easy to assemble. Very happy with the chair. I bought this for use with my x52 hotas in VR with games like DCS and Elite Dangerous, but it didnt have compatible mounting plates in the original packaging (its pre-packaged for car racing setups). Contacted the seller and within minutes they responded letting me know they would send me their beta hotas mounts for no charge. Just installed them last night and it works perfectly. Best customer service Ive ever experienced. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayFirst off, I’m not a reviewer. I generally don’t have the time to write them and I prefer to leave it to the professional reviewers. However with our current “shelter at home” life style, I find I have the time to share my thoughts on this cockpit setup from Openwheeler. I had done a fair amount of research into stand-alone cockpit configurations to use for my flight sims. I mostly fly in VR and use Thrustmaster Warthog joystick and throttle. My flights can last for a couple of hours, so a comfortable seat was a high priority. In addition, sturdy mounting surfaces for my controllers was also critical. Of course price always enters into the process and while I don’t mind spending the money for good quality, I don’t need to toss $$ at something that does not provide any actual additional benefit. My criteria eventually brought me to Openwheeler and their lineup of racing and flight sim cockpits. I decided to pull the trigger on the Gen 2 cockpit and also ordered the seat height extender and the mounts for a set of flight sim joystick and throttle. I was initially concerned about how the contents would look once shipped. Anytime you order heavy items, it can be a nightmare if the packing is not done correctly. My worries were completely eliminated once I received my order. Everything was well packed and all the metal plates were separated from one another. Everything was in excellent condition and nothing was scratched or dented. A quick review of the contents did reveal that I was missing a couple of components that I was expecting. I contacted Openwheeler and received a reply the same day. As it turns out, the online ordering can be a little confusing when ordering the add on joystick and throttle plates. I had inadvertently ordered plates that were not for my specific system. The folks at Openwheeler acknowledged the issue and stated that they are working on clarifying the product options with Amazon. Not only did they immediately ship the correct items to me via 2 day air, but also tossed in some additional items for my trouble. I can tell you that after shopping through Amazon for many years, you do not often find the type of customer service that I received from this manufacturer. Not only are all the parts clearly marked and organized, but they also include the tools you need to do the assembly. Once I had all the items, the assembly went together very well and the provided instruction were more than adequate. I have read some comments about quality control and bolt holes not aligning correctly. First, I found the quality of the components to be more than acceptable. Secondly, I suspect that some of the issues with bolt alignment may be an issue of how these units are being assembled. Anytime you are bolting together components for any type of assembly, it is critical to make sure you are getting all the fasteners started before tightening anything down. For example, if you are attaching the seat to the frame and insert and tighten the bolt on one side, it will be difficult to get the other side aligned. This is not a reflection of poor quality control. It is possible to find products with tighter tolerances, however you will also pay 2 to 3 times the price for that level of precision. Following this assembly approach, I had no issues with getting this put together. In fact, I was more than pleased with how additional knobs and set screws are used at all the adjustment points. Once everything is tightened down, it is a strong and rigid assembly. I would not hesitate to recommend this to any of my flight some friends. They are also working on some new options that will drastically change the mounting options for the joystick. Can’t wait to give that a try. I don’t want to sound as if I’m a paid reviewer and I have been searching my mind for some negatives. Other than the confusion with ordering options on the Amazon page, I really don’t have any complaints yet. I will revisit this review after I have had more time using this setup. I will be curious to see how long the seat holds up and stays comfortable.

> 3 dayThe 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!!

> 3 dayFor the price, this stand was hard to beat. I shopped around quite a bit before ultimately purchasing the Openwheeler and could not find a better alternative. There are a number of more expensive solutions but very few in this price range. The center post steering wheel mount is mildly annoying when you get into, or out of the seat but is otherwise not in the way. Plenty of adjustment for any player/driver. I am 60 and have plenty of room. The seat is comfortable for a while but my back does grow tired of sitting in it for long periods as it lacks any lumbar support.
