> 3 dayIve used this cockpit for a few days now and am very happy with it. Please note that the cat, clutter on the desk, steering wheel and pedals do not come with this product and are items I added after assembly. I added the chair lift kit as I am not a spring chicken anymore and its easier to get in and out of the chair with it raised a bit. Overall, assembly was easy, instructions were clear and component bags were clearly labeled, allowing for assembly with minimal confusion

Greater than one weekOverall Im happy with the chair. the only real gripe I had with it was that it was a little of a pain getting the chair together. The instructions just told me to unscrew one of the bolts and put it in the other side. It didnt mention what angle the chair had to be in to do this. I spent about 2 hours being frustrated and never getting the holes to line up cleanly. Finally I youtubed the video and realized if I rotated the chair it would have been alot easier. Once I did that, total assembly time 10 minutes. Once I sat in the chair it was really comfortable but hard for me to get in and out due to how close the steering wheel is. If the steering wheel could be folded forward so that its easier to get out that would be great. Instead its like getting in and out of an actual race car. More realism! lol Also the pedals could have been more of an angle. Its like a 20 degree angle where I would prefer 40 degrees. With all that said, Im very happy with the wheel and would buy again in a heartbeat!

> 3 dayIf you need a racing cockpit that is semi-portable and not too heavy, this seems to be the best out there. Assembly was pretty easy, everything is pretty sturdy for the most part. I only have two gripes about it: 1.) Please just include the seat height extenders by default. If youre not using them, your legs are never resting on the seat and they will fall asleep within a couple minutes. They are an absolute necessity IMO, I would suggest Openwheeler just include them by default and bump the price up. 2.) I wish the steering wheel column was a little less wobbly side-to-side, but I also acknowledge that this is intended to be easily movable, so you have to give up a bit of rigidity. Otherwise, everything seems to be built well and with good quality materials, and the full color instructions are easy to follow. Would definitely recommend.

> 3 dayFun but just reinforcesI suck at driving games. Either way pleased with the impulse purchase. I will say that during the set up process I noticed a few times that the provided hardware wouldn’t fit - for instance one of the large turn knobs is to large to rotate unless the chair is lifted off the floor slightly otherwise. Noticed these tolerances off for 2 of the handles. Didn’t anticipate that with the cost of this.

> 3 dayWell made and functional. I mounted my Logitech G920 wheel, Logitech pedals, and added Logitech shifter and the setup was well worth the money.

> 3 dayBought the OpenWheeler rig for my new Logitech G29. I will start with the package: It came in pretty large box, and couple more boxes with parts and hardware inside. Packaging was pretty good. Chair was bubble wrapped and all the rest of the parts were individually bubble wrapped in two additional boxes. Assembly: It took me about 20 minutes to assemble it and mount my Logitech G29 wheels and pedals on it. Assembly manual was pretty straight forward. I followed the short instructions with pictures step by step and no surprises there. Seat: The seat is made of fabric material, and it looks pretty solid. Seat itself is deep bright blue ( I picked the color). They had five or six more colors available If I am not wrong. The backrest has a little bump for my lumbar support which I like. I have done over 5 hours racing and the seat is very comfortable. Chassis: Chassis is all made of powder coated or zinc plated metal square tubing and plates. By eye, I would say the steel is about 1/8 thick. Everything is held together by rubberized handle knobs. Extremely adjustable: seat sliders, reclining backrest, up/down forward backward wheel position, forward backward pedal plate. I don’t plan on using gear shifter for the mount included in the kit so I am planning to come with something to make a cup holder out of it. My Logitech G29 bolted down right on. All hardware and some tools are included. I can definitely recommend the Openwheeler seat/stand and I am very happy with the G29 combo I chose. Hope the above detailed review helps the rest of fellow racing gamers out there.

> 3 daySuper positive experience. All items ordered arrived ahead of schedule in perfect condition. Best packaging Ive ever seen on any product. Quality of workmanship way better than I expected. SimFab/OM are putting out a fantastic product at this price point. Seat is super comfortable and adjustable. Heavy gauge steel that can take a beating. A++ on this purchase!

> 3 dayThis sim rig is awesome! It is made from thick quality steel, that makes the unit strong and stable. Personally I love how versatile the system is, you can easily convert from a HOTAS to a driving simulator to a civillian yoke and pedal flight simulator. Want your flight stick center mounted between your legs you can do that, want it off to the side can do that as well! The only negatives thing I can say is it absolutly should come with the 5 inch seat height kit as it is a must have! Also the center post mounting of the steering wheel can rub on your legs but they offer a direct drive wheel mount that does away with the center post and has a more standard table style wheel mount so if you decide the center post is a bother ( really doesnt bother me) you can change that as well! Basically its customizeable to anything you could want IMO! Love this cockpit!

> 3 dayI started out looking at Wheel Stand Pro Super G to mount my Logitech G29, but quickly stumbled upon the OpenWheeler Gen 2. Based on the large number of positive reviews I decided it was worth the extra money to get a full racing rig. Glad I made the leap! I added the OpenWheeler Seat Lift Kit and OpenWheeler Universal Bracket so I could mount a Buttkicker mini LFE subwoofer to my setup. With these upgrades I no longer have a racing seat, I own a racing simulator! The item was packed very well and the box was no larger than it needed to be. Assembly and setup were a breeze. I suggest you get the Seat Lift Kit at time of purchase to simplify the setup process and save you the trouble from disassembling it all later. I believe the seat lift kit should be included standard since its so good, but understand the manufacturer is trying to hit a lower price point to compete with other solutions. My first recommendation for future improvement includes changing the location of the three large knobs on the base of steering column and main support. Their placement makes entry and exit a bit awkward and it seems like Im always bumping my feet into them. The rig is sturdy enough, but if they could place the large knobs on the side it would make entry and exit easier. My second recommendation would be to alter the design so I could push the steering wheel further away from me, but bring the foot pedals closer. I like to drive with my arms a bit more extended. Maybe a U shaped cut out in the foot pedal plate? Overall, Im extremely happy with the OpenWheeler setup and my buddy is impressed with it. He now loves playing Gran Turismo. Previously, he said he wasnt into racing games, but he sure is now! Very happy with my investment.

> 3 dayWe just got the openwheeler gen2 a few days ago and i can’t get my sons off of the chair! They are loving it! Assembly was easy and quick, and it seems of very good quality. Chair is comfortable and the wheel / pedals position is very realistic. I am very pleased with this product!
