> 3 dayVery sturdy definitely worth the money it came with all the tools and hardware you need to assemble and when I say tools I mean they send you whole wrenches although my only complaint is that the backrest handle cover is cheap and fell off felt like it was held on by a thread when I unboxed it

> 3 dayShort version: this seat is well-built, sturdy, easy to assemble and highly customizable. The customer service is incredible, truly above and beyond. I could not be happier with the purchase. So if youre going to buy a rig, buy this one. Also, if youre trying to decide whether you need a rig, allow me to offer this advice: you need a rig. Just buy this; you will not regret it. Longer version: I have now had this rig about 18 months. I bought it for both driving and flying in Virtual Reality using a Vive Index. For cars I use pretty high end Fanatec wheel/shifter/pedals, and for planes I use a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS with Logitech pedals. I wanted a rig that I could switch in between those two modes without too much trouble. I googled heavily and looked at over a dozen options, including a few that were over $1000. Few of them seemed setup well for both activities, and even those that were seemed like they would be painful to switch. This one had a smart design and great reviews, so I gave it a shot. I have been thoroughly impressed ever since. First, the kit: its perfect. With the extension (more on that in a bit) its perfectly positioned for both activities. The driving pedals/wheel attach with one knob; the flight pedals use that same attachment and the HOTAS (and gearshift on the rare occasions I use it) go on the arms of the chair with two knobs each. I can switch between driving and flying in about 2-3 minutes, and whichever set Im not using fits easily in a hallway coat closet. Whichever setup Im in, its completely rock-solid. The steering wheel was decently solid even before they sent me an improved attachment plate (again, more below) for free. There are also multiple positions for the HOTAS (center stick/side stick) and shifter (left/right). The chair is comfortable, has adjustable tilt, and the position of the wheel and pedals are independently adjustable. Putting it all together would have been straightforward even without the clear instructions with color photographs; with those instructions its impossible to mess up. They even included a real wrench...like one Id find in my toolbox, not the disposable stamped-metal junk typically included in such contexts. If I was forced, under enhanced interrogation, to find a complaint, I would ask for more lumbar support. But so far I have not been forced to do that (and I have a separate lumbar cushion), so I have no complaints. Now, as to customer service: these guys are incredible! Several reviews with similar praise were definitely a factor in my decision, but even knowing that Ive been blown away. At the time of my purchase, the company said a height extension kit was coming soon and a couple reviewers indicated they had been sent beta kits for testing. It worked fine without the extension, but I liked the idea of being 6 higher (especially for flying) so I emailed asking about said kit. The company got back to me the same day with a friendly email clearly written by an actual human being; he said that they had finalized the kit (it was no longer in beta) and would be selling it soon....but hed just go ahead and send me one for free. When it arrived it installed easily, and its a big improvement when flying. I assume they are now selling it; if youre going to use this for flying I highly recommend getting it, though for driving its about the same either way. In any case, I would gladly have paid the asking price for it, and I found just sending it over for free impressive. So having already started an email conversation because of the extension, a few weeks into using the rig I made a couple of suggestions for future purchasers, such as either replacing a couple of allen keys with knobs or just including a few more of each. He wrote back and said it was a good idea, and then just sent me a bag of extra allens and knobs! Then at some point he wrote me to say they had redesigned the steering wheel attachment to be less resistant to inadvertent tilt changes; he promptly sent the updated one over for free. The old one hadnt caused me much trouble, but it did need to be tightened down awful hard; the new one is much better, and presumably is now included by default. So that makes three separate items that these nice folks just packaged up and sent to me, for free, voluntarily. Two of them I didnt even request. Thats just amazing. Possibly the most impressive customer service I have ever seen. If you couldnt tell by the equipment I attach to this rig, Im fairly hardcore about this sort of thing. I was willing to spend four digits if I needed to, and looked at some options in that range. If this chair cost $1200, I would still say its worth it. No kidding. But the good news is, its not! Its a third of that! You cant afford not to buy it! Youre still reading this? Its written like Faulkner for Christs sake! Quit reading and go buy this rig!

Greater than one weekFor a couple years now I have used a Logitech G920 that I attached to a wooden TV dinner tray, sat in front of the living room TV for racing sessions. Well, having two kids eventually brought negative consequences to my off-balanced setup, causing the table and the attached wheel (with pedals underneath on the floor) to come crashing down, snapping the two screw-down latches on the G920. Enter the OpenWheeler GEN3 Racing Wheel Cockpit stand. It feels great being able to bolt down both the wheel unit and the pedals securely. The blue racing seat also feels great. Everything is adjustable, so thats great too. The seat adjusts back and forth the same as your seat in your real car does. The seat also folds over the wheel a bit to aid in storage while not in use. The only gripes I have, and they are pretty minor I admit, are: 1. The default setup sets roughly four inches off the floor, which for somebody my age (Ive been sim racing for 25 adult years now), can make it a bit of a chore to get in and out of. The manufacturer does offer bumpers to push this up off the floor a few more inches, but I didnt feel like spending even more money on this luxury. 2. The preferred way to rout the wires from the steering wheel means attaching them (via provided velcro straps) to the upright that the wheel is fastened to. This decreased the distance I can sit from my Xbox by at least a foot (not the racing seat makers fault). The wife was initially pissed at me for spending $400 on a toy, but its easier to live with forgiveness than regret, right? Overall, Im very pleased with the product.

> 3 daySolid product!! All around very happy I bought this. It came with good tools to put it together with, also instructions were not bad either. But they had a great video on YouTube by the company that shows you how to put it together real quick. Very strong rig. I also bought the seat risers. Also good quality. I had one strip out it might have been my fault. But regardless I reached out to the seller telling them that I might have stripped one out during the install and they got back to me within a few hours and 2 day aired me a whole new set. What a great company and an even better race rig for the price. If your thinking about getting it. You won’t be disappointed. Also after sitting in this chair for pretty much the entire last week, and not being able to tell how comfortable is would be from the pictures. I have too say I got lucky with this one! It is so comfortable I am an older dad 6’1 & 220lb and I can’t sit in anything too long, but this chair is probably my favorite part of the whole thing. Everything was very well done. Great product great service. I recommend you take a hard look at this one. Hope this helps someone out there and have a great day.

> 3 dayOk, so I have had this wheel stand for about a year and a half now, really started getting used when Forza 7 came out, have done almost 15,000 miles in F7 on this stand, and its as sturdy as the day I got it! The build quality is top notch! Ive been on other sets that have all felt too wobbly. This is including Playseat... I think the main difference would have to be this set using square metal work instead of sets that use round tubing. The Openwheeler set really locks into place, and doesnt wobble from side to side. And all without the need of awkward stabilizers on the chassis spine. Less to stub toes on, scrape wooden floors, just an overall smaller profile. I have never had any unwanted movement! Pros: Comfortable seat. As stated before, incredibly sturdy! Wheel(Logi G920) mounted with no issues. Just about all wheels mounting kit included. Even quick release zip ties for tidy wire management! Tools too, they really set you up! Up and running in no time. Great, quick responding, customer service! *ALSO, if you happen to not use a shifter, you can see in one of my photos, a yellow circle outlining the shift mount bracket being used as a support to get in and out of your chair easier! Kind of neat! Pro-Con: Its hefty to roll around, but well worth the build of course! Pro-con, haha. Other notes! I am opting to upgrade the chassis of my Openwheeler set! I happen to be in a good position to do so and am in no way doing it because of anything negative about my chassis now! Cant stress that enough! My chassis will be donated to a close friend so he can hopefully get into wheel racing with me! So it will go on to serve many more years of use! Quick summary, if youre looking for a wheel stand, and you dont want to worry bout the wobbles!! Youll go with an Openwheeler!

> 3 dayThis is a good, quality racing chair for the price. The base is sturdy and the seat is comfortable. I am a taller / bigger guy and the seat fits me well and has tons of adjustability for any size. I was surprised at how solidly built it was. One bit of advice, it is very low to the ground to start, maybe only 4 inches or so off the floor. If you are a bigger person, or slightly older I highly recommend the seat lift kit. It is easy to install and makes the chair much easier to get in and out of. It also creates a much more natural driving position. Out of the box your legs are almost straight out, but with the seat lifts I can race for hours very comfortably.

> 3 dayThe Openwheeler Stand arrived by UPS ahead of scheduled delivery date. It was shipped in a large oversized box & everything was included with no missing parts. Packaging was great as nothing was damaged during shipping. It did take a dolly to move the box around prior to opening as it was a big box & heavy. I am very pleased with the quality of the Openwheeler Racing Wheel Stand. I could see no other stand coming even close as the thing is made of interlocking steel square bars. The Logitec G Driving Force Wheel, Shifter, & Pedal bundle set right up with precision. No holes to drill. no clamps to break, just absolute perfection. The big knobby screw handles are totally awesome for tightening & unscrewing for adjustments. My only drawback of the thing was it is too low to the ground. I get in without a problem but have issues getting out. We manage though. I am working on a lift for it to raise the back end up so it isnt sitting on the floor. Assembly was a breeze as you get all the wrenches you need for assembly with the stand. I wish I had something like this years ago. I like the fact that I can take the stand apart in 2 pieces & take to a friends house with out having to un-mount the wheel or pedals. Just unscrew one adjusting knob, pull stand out of seat, & off we go. It makes resetting it up a breeze as I have marked my adjustment spot. I did have the shifter holder attached for a while & it worked perfectly, but took it off as I use the shifter on the wheel. All in all, this was the best thing that I have bought for my self in a long time.

Greater than one weekVery sturdy and a huge upgrade over playseat. The only slightly negative thing I will say is they should have included the seat lift posts to lift the chair up instead of making us purchase them for an extra 40.. They are definitely worth it unless you are ok sitting on the floor. Other than that, great product with great quality. Instructions are top notch. I mounted my FANATEC wheel on it.
