For those that are looking for a SIM seat solution that can be put away when done playing, this is what you need. Setup is very quick, simple and was racing before you knew it. Love the seat, very comfortable and the ability to adjust the seat to suit whatever your needs are is fantastic. Takes less time now to setup and put away the game racing gear than before and way more comfortable.
Now time to upgrade my wheel and pedals.....
Keep the shiny side up! -

Some background first. I had to upgrade from the Wheel Stand Pro which I used for 2 years. It did the job, but not quite. Having a separate chair was not comfortable enough for my back. I needed an upgrade. A full rig was out of the question, as our house doesn't have a man-cave. So my wife would not be happy with a rig lying around. I finally settled for the Playseat Challenge and man, still asking why I didn't buy this seat before.
Setting it up was a breeze. But then came the real test. Sitting down in it. I was somehow doubtful it would be stable. So I cautiously got in the seat and WOW! You really feel you got into a race car. I had to adjust a bit the seating position by tweaking a bit the velcro steps, but that's it. And did I already say it's really comfortable? Heck, this seat is more comfortable than my Celica.
Besides saving my back, another advantage I found was that everytime you open up the Playseat Challenge, it always gives you the same setup every single time, as if you're getting in your own car, which is great. Unlike the Wheel Stand Pro, where you have to fiddle around with the levers, so it's not always the same setup.
During sim racing, besides being comfortable, you also don't have a bar in the middle, like the Wheel Stand Pro. which might get in the way (especially if you're using 3 pedals and heal-and-toe).
Stashing it away, which is why I bought this in the first place, is quick and easy. Collapse the chair, strap a velcro band to secure it, wrap the wires around the pedals, collapse the pedals, strap another small velcro band and done - 2 min job flat.
Get yourself a present, and get this chair. You won't regret it. -

With regards to the wheel, I opted for the T300RS GT, as after reading numerous reviews this seemed like a great wheel at a reasonable price. Accuracy and force feedback feel great!
In short, I recommend this combination (Playseat Challenge + Thrustmaster T300RS GT) to anyone looking to add to their racing experience and willing to spend around 600EUR. -

Delivery was very fast, and the product was packaged very well.
The construction of the seat surprised me by its sturdiness. It was very easy to mount following the included instructions.
However, it is during the installation process that I discovered the few drawbacks.
First, the included velcro strap isn't long enough to hold my Fanatec ClubSport pedals. Thankfully it's nothing a few zip-ties cannot fix.
Next, as some earlier reviews have pointed out - there is no shifter/handbrake mount included. My Fanatec GT3 wheel comes with a mounting system (although a flimsy one) so I was able to mount the shifter this way.
On the plus side, I was able to correctly mount my steering wheel using the attached hardware and pre-drilled holes.
Cable management is tricky, if like me, you want to have everything attached all the time. You have to compensate for the chair folding in terms of cable length. This is not a design flaw - I don't think there would be a way of simplifying this.
In usage, as mentioned earlier, the construction is very sturdy. It does wobble a little bit, especially around the steering wheel, but it doesn't break the gaming experience. This is the price to pay for being able to have a real racing cockpit in a small room.
The folding aspect is great, it takes me around 2 minutes to fold the chair out and be ready for racing.
Storage is easy, but beware of it tipping over if you have heavy steering wheel and pedals - just put it against the wall to solve that problem.
There are two unexpected bonuses due to the design of the seat : First, no central pillar between the legs due to the wheel mounting system. You can move your knees around, like in a real car.
Second, the Vibration and Force Feedback of my Fanatec gear transfers into the light construction of the seat so I'm able to feel the bumps and the RPM of the car in the whole body. It greatly helps the gaming experience.
Once folded out, it looks and feels like a racing seat. It becomes the centerpiece of the room.
Overall it is a great buy for someone without the space for a full-on racing cockpit but who wants to experience the game in a different way.
It is relatively inexpensive for this type of quality. There are a few drawbacks but nothing major (although the shifter/handbrake mount would be welcome).
P.S.: It's much easier to convince your wife of having one because you can easily stow it away! -

The Playseat Challenge is a valuable tool that has raised our program to a higher level. The students are intrigued by the seat and are eager to participate. The seat is portable, easy to store and ship to events, and quick to set up.
The order process is efficient and the customer service is focused on meeting the needs of the customer in a timely manner.
I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge to other organizations. -

Pros:
- Easy to Setup
- Easy to Use
- Very fun to use
- Very adjustable to fit your needs
Cons:
- A little bit harder to get in and out of than a permanent setup.
- Under heavy breaking I have had the front of the chair come off the ground at times
- On long stints I think a permanent seat would be considerably more comfortable
Overall I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge to everyone. I have approached Sim Racing with a "buy something reasonable to start and see where it goes." Over time I will probably build a permanent structure and will consider some of the playseat permanent setups considering how well built this was. -

It's incredibly comfortable and sturdy and really gets you into the racing frame of mind. I use it with a Thrustmaster T300RS GT and the thing is rock solid. You look at it and you think it's just a fancy looking lawn chair, but this thing is built with quality. A 2 hour session will fly by with zero discomfort. It's especially nice if you don't have a dedicated spot to have a rig setup all the time. I can fold the chair up and slide it into a closet with minimal effort.
If you're looking to upgrade from a wheel clamped to a desk and an office chair look no further. It's the perfect entry into having a racing rig. -

Got interested in sim racing a while ago and chose this seat to try it at an entry level.

There are a couple things I really like about the seat.
1. It is amazingly comfortable to sit and play in, its easy to personalize and once you set it to your needs it is very comfortable.
2. Great quality, very stable. Feels really stable when you're using it. I'm really impressed considering this is the entry level model. Love the quality.
3. Foldable - I didnt realise how compact it would be. Was all prepared to dedicate some sapce to keep the seat when its not in use, but it folds into a TINY profile
4. And lastly, another bonus for me... didnt realise I would be able to leave the pedals and steering wheel connected to the chair and it would STILL fold into this small package to store! I LOVE that I dont have to assemble and disassemble the seat every time. I didnt realise how big it a hassle it was for me to mount and dismount the steering wheel to my desk each time I wanted to play.
So.. love the seat. Can't wait to justify upgrading! -

The only thing buyers should be aware of is that if you have large legs, the metal loops that hold the arm straps dig into your legs making it uncomfortable to sit for any length of time. I used some of the protective foam and rubber bands that came with the packaging to cover the metal clips and it works perfectly so I'm able to sit comfortably.
The conclusion is there's nothing that should prevent you from buying this chair because it comes with everything you could want from a race gaming chair! -

Somewhere in a galaxy, far, far away.....an item later identified as PS5 was discovered. It offered progression of the known.
Deep within it's layers, a parchment was found containing visual depictions that somehow serve to enhance the experience of the PS5 discovery.
Meanwhile, somewhere close to the Adriatic Sea, a young boy was juggling emotions and his thoughts on Christmas, gazing up at the afternoon sky, he sketched something on a piece of paper, tucking it in his back pocket.
Later, he caught up with his father, retelling the events that permeated his day.
The father compelled by what he heard recalled information that passed through the processing chambers of thought attributable only to full grown members of their species.
From an initial scribble amidst thoughts of an afternoon day, current facts occurring simultaneously, then being discovered thousands of miles away.
The quest was on, the challenge...to retrieve and manifest a unique piece of technology that would enhance the process of discovery and bring a new dimension of life, to the idle town Sibenik.
Several communications were sent out to scouts camped on the fringe of Europa with instruction to retrieve the object that would later be known as "Playseat Challenge".
The emphasis of the story is on the bond between young and matured members of our society and how they can combine their innate abilities to bring about, manifest and spread JOY - a highly contagious state that can initiate and spread, just from of an emotion emitted by pure, untainted frequency of a young fulfilled soul.
Epilogue: JOY turned to levels of pandemic, infecting all humanity.
They all played, seated comfortably connected, resolving challenges that plagued our existence from early times.
A new world dawned, a new journey began with promise of hope and prosperity. Abundance of discovery and experiences never witnessed began occurring in random on all fronts of our world.
Merry Christmas son, enjoy the RIDE!
Love,

Accrocher son volant sur un bureau et conduire comme dans un camion sur une chaise roulante à ressorts, ça n'a absolument rien de pratique ni de confortable. C'est donc souvent vers un siège de course que nous nous tournons pour une conduite plus réaliste. Cependant, un fauteuil de course a un coût, c'est encombrant et parfois incompatible avec une vie de couple.
La simulation automobile dans les jeux vidéos devrait être un plaisir où l'Homme ne fait plus qu'un avec son V8 et non avec son bureau. En général les pilotes en herbe délaissent les manettes pour une combinaison volant + pédalier, voire levier de vitesse. La différence est flagrante, pour peu que votre choix ait porté sur un bon modèle de volant à retour de force. Il faut dorénavant faire faire corps avec la voiture, passer nous-mêmes les vitesses, subir physiquement les aspérités du bitume et les caprices de la météo. Tout comme les gunstocks en réalité virtuelle, les sièges de simulation ajoutent de l'immersion aux jeux.
Cependant, pour les joueurs les plus aguerris, ou trouvant la posture bureau peu conventionnelle, il existe des sièges, prévus entre autres pour la compétition, avec une assise réaliste et confortable. Il en existe sur le marché de toutes les formes et surtout à tous les prix. Ils sont en général composés d'un siège baquet, une plateforme pour fixer le volant, un support pour le pédalier et, suivant le modèle, une plateforme pour le levier de vitesse, voire un support pour écran. Plus nous montons en gamme, meilleur est le confort, les réglages sont plus fins et certains playseat possèdent carrément des vérins !
Le montage, un jeu d'enfant
Dans le carton très compact mesurant 80 x 60 x 20 cm pour 9 kg, nous retrouvons l'ensemble des pièces dédiées au montage. Le tout est emballé avec soin dans du papier bulle et les pièces sont maintenues et protégées par des mousses et élastiques. Ne cherchez pas l'entourloupe sur les photos, il y a précisément trois pièces/blocs dans la boîte. L'un étant le siège baquet, l'autre la structure intégrale du siège et le dernier, le support pour fixer le volant. Pour le reste, nous retrouvons une documentation d'installation, deux clés Allen, quatre vis et des bandes velcro. Rien de plus, rien de moins.
Le montage est un jeu d'enfant. Le carton contient de nombreux velcros qui nous permettent de nous affranchir des vis (pour les réglages du siège et la fixation des câbles), si ce n'est pour installer le volant sur sa plateforme préperforée, et c'est une bonne chose. Le montage, très simple et prend une dizaine de minutes, sans se presser. Dans un premier temps, il s'agit de déplier la structure en acier afin de distinguer la partie assise de la partie dédiée au pédalier. Cette dernière section peut être détachée du reste au besoin. Ensuite ,c'est au tour du dossier d'être installé. En alcantara aux coutures impeccables, il est renforcé des épaules à la tête et vient s'enfiler sur la structure à l'aide de guides. Sa jupe, composée de velcro ici encore, vient embrasser l'assise. Pour le reste, le pédalier se fixe contre une butée et est tenu à la structure avec une sangle velcro. La plateforme du volant, elle, se fixe sur le prolongement des accoudoirs en charnière et peut être verrouillée.
Un siège réglable et confortable
Si pour vous, l'ensemble avec son look de chaise longue semble tenir par magie et ne vous inspire pas confiance, c'est que vous ne vous êtes pas encore installé. N'ayez crainte, le bestiau est prévu pour soutenir plus de 120 kg. Pour s'asseoir et se relever, il y a deux solutions. Soit user de notre souplesse, soit, à la manière d'une porte battante, débloquer la plateforme du volant pour la rabattre sur le côté comme avec une charnière. Une fois bien assis, il faut avouer que cela fait quelque chose avec la sensation de se retrouver dans le cockpit d'une F1 au ras du bitume. Le volant tombe parfaitement sous la main. Le maintien du dos est vraiment bon et le tout ne bouge pas d'un iota, même lors d'un rallye effréné.
Pour modifier l'inclinaison et le maintien du siège, il suffit d'ajuster les scratchs au niveau de la jupe et des sangles servant d'accoudoirs. En jouant sur la longueur de celles-ci, nous pouvons abaisser ou relever le siège, augmentant ou diminuant l'angle formé par le dossier du fauteuil et la partie soutenant les cuisses. Autrement dit, plus les sangles sont longues, plus le dos est incliné vers l'arrière et plus le siège est bas. À l'inverse, si elles sont raccourcies, le dos est bien droit, mais les jambes plus relevées et le volant plus proche de nous. Pour le reste, les velcros de la jupe permettent d'ajuster la rigidité du dossier, la profondeur de l'assise et le passage des cuisses. Pour régler la distance du pédalier, il suffit de jouer sur l'emboîtement des tubes du support. L'inclinaison du volant se règle elle grâce à une molette. Le maintien est très bon et, une fois dedans, difficile d'en sortir tellement l'assise est agréable. Certes, nous ne sommes pas sur des chaises haut de gamme, mais la jupe en alcantara, les réglages lombaires et les accoudoirs offrent un bon maintien. Le tout est de bonne facture, respire la solidité et la simplicité, et s'adapte même aux grands gabarits. Sa conception nous autorise à ne garder au besoin que l'assise, pouvant servir de chaise d'appoint.
Le Playseat Challenge est compatible avec l'ensemble des volants et pédaliers du marché, y compris Logitech, Thrustmaster et Fanatec. Il est cependant dommage que la plateforme ne puisse être réglée en hauteur et le manque de fixations pour accrocher un levier de vitesse. Il faudra donc bricoler un peu ou passer à la caisse pour une solution toute faite.
Au placard comme la planche à repasser
L’une des caractéristiques les plus intéressantes de ce fauteuil est qu’il se replie avec le volant et le pédalier, en un ensemble mince et peu encombrant. À la manière d'une planche à repasser, il se glisse facilement dans une armoire et se fait oublier avec un gabarit contenu (30 cm d'épaisseur). Il suffit de rabattre le volant et le pédalier en jouant de la molette et du velcro.
Le Playseat Challenge ne déçoit pas, il est régulièrement aux alentours des 200 €, soit une centaine d'euros en dessous du prix des sièges baquet les moins chers de la marque, il fait figure d'ovni dans sa catégorie. Néanmoins, ne vous y trompez pas, même si son allure le rapproche plus d'une chaise longue que d'un véritable fauteuil de simulation, c'est du solide. Les matériaux utilisés sont de bonne facture et assurent un bon maintien, et le siège convient même aux grands gabarits. Il est confortable, mais si vous souhaitez jouer sur de très longues sessions, il montrera ses limites. Cependant, son extrême simplicité d'utilisation, sa conception, ses différents réglages et le fait qu'il puisse être rangé dans un placard en font un must have ! Autre avantage et pas des moindres, le Playseat Challenge est un excellent siège d'appoint en cas de grande affluence dans votre salon.

Once it is set up, and all the straps are set to the right length for you, it is absolutely great to sit in, being nice and comfortable for 1-3 hour sessions (I start to lose my arms and braking a bit at this point, not due to seat discomfort).
Overall, I would recommend, but only for someone who absolutely needs a folding rig. -

When it arrived and I opened the box, the room started smelling of roses and mythical plants until then unknown to man. The assembling part was both easy and yet fulfilling, as if I was accomplishing my true destiny in life, bringing something good into the world. The sound of the velcros on the straps still resonate in my mind, making my skin tingle at the thought.
Once seated in it, it is like being cradled safely in the arms of a gentle goddess, knowing she'll give you her protection while you drive your virtual cars. Somehow the seats adjusts to your body as if it was made of an alien living textile alloy.
As for storing, who could even think of doing such a thing? I know I haven't yet, but I have no doubt it would be very easy, just by looking at the marvel of engineering that this thing is. -

What I like about this as opposed to using a wheelstandpro is that once you've found the setup you like, you never have to mess with it again. It becomes much easier to just jump in whenever for a few races.
One disappointing aspect that I found is that there is no place to put a shifter, so I had to get used to racing without it. I'm also racing with a VR headset and the headset cables gets a bit in the way of the headrest, nothing major though. -

Spoiled for choice, isn't it?
Not everyone has the necessary space for a permanent race seat, others don't want it for other reasons. And a desk mounted steering wheel that is constantly screwed on and off? Not many alternatives remain. Of course there are still the classic wheel stands, which have their justification. However, you need a suitable seat for these too. Nobody wants to use a rolling office chair for this, even an armchair is too uncomfortable in the long run. Yes, even a decent gaming chair costs as much as the folding Playseat Challenge. If you start thinking about it now, you already know, yes, a folding seat for simracing is needed.
Unboxing:
When you unbox the Playseat Challenge for the first time, you're surprised how compact everything is. The term "camping chair" in the guise of a racing seat is truly false, because both the fabric cover and the workmanship (including the frame) are robust and of high quality. Once you sit in the seat, there are hardly any vibrations. Everything is firmly in its place. Of course there are differences to a fixed rig whose goal it is to avoid any vibrations. But if you could expect this from a collapsible chair, you would have a wrong idea of what this chair can do. The feedback of the chair is very good, the robust construction leaves no doubt that you can have many hours of fun here permanently.
Rally specialists should be told that even rough steering movements are swallowed by the Playseat Challenge, nothing slips and the fun of the game is not spoiled.
Playing comfort:
I have now spent many hours in front of the monitor and am still very satisfied with the comfort of the racing seat. It folds in and out in under a minute. Accessories such as a digital dashboard (with a small external screen) can be attached as a DIY solution, but of course are not officially supported by the chair. Instead, it scores with a flawless pedal mount that won't slip even when the brakes are applied forcefully. If you want to look for a shortcoming, then there where the hook and loop fastener securing the pedal unit is attached. This loosens from time to time and if you forget the occasional check, it can happen that the pedals slip out of the holder when folding. I circumvent the problem by attaching an additional strap, then everything holds securely. But here we are talking about a little thing, straps just give way.
Steering wheel and pedals:
As steering wheel I use the TMX Pro (the Playstation-pendant is the T150) which is distributed by Thrustmaster. As pedals the well known TP3A. Unfortunately the TMX Pro has the peculiarity that in connection with the seat no mounting with screws is possible. The competition from Logitech G29/G920 makes it better here. The T300 from Thrustmaster can also be screwed on without problems. However, the TMX Pro's clamping device is better than its reputation, and if you want to avoid the steering wheel slipping minimally due to the seat constantly folding up and down, it's best to attach the hook and loop fastener supplied with the chair under the steering wheel. The counterpart on the steering wheel mount of the Playseat Challenge. In combination with the clamping device of the TMX Pro, nothing can slip anymore. But be careful, the hook and loop fastener holds enormously, a new loosening is only possible under effort. In connection with this steering wheel there is an adapter from Ricmotech, with which the TMX Pro can be screwed to the bracket of the Playseat Challenge. This would be the expensive additional solution.
Against tilting:
An important detail that almost goes under is the anti-tilting device at the bottom of the Playseat Challenge. If you forget to pull it out, the Playseat Challenge can tip to the side due to gravity when getting out of the seat. So, don't forget it! But the user manual points this out and is altogether well described.
Save space:
If you're not in a particular hurry, you can also just fold the pedals and push the seat to the side. This saves space and the racing seat can be left standing. But even when folded, the racing seat does not need to hide. When looking in the cupboard every day, the seat invites you to play again and again.
GT or Formula 1?
When it comes to seating comfort, I can reassure anyone. You sit comfortably for many hours. Especially since the seat position can be adjusted from upright (GT position) to half lying (Formula 1 position).
Conclusion:
What remains to be said about the chair? It's a piece of equipment that will provide a lot of fun for a long time, an elementary object of the sim world. As the basis for the steering wheel, it makes a decisive contribution to the fun of the game. After all, who can keep up for a long time when after an hour your back hurts from the couch chair? So it's better to grab a folding chair like this and be rid of your worries. Simracing is becoming more and more popular, the Playseat Challenge provides many reasons why this is so.

I have been using it already for more then few weeks and I can say, that it is a really well designed, comfortable, functional, takes very low space when it is not being used.
Even my wife likes it and actually she started to play Rally for the first time in her life :D
My kid is still too little (3y), but he also asks me to let him drive. He climbs up on my knees and likes to test drive for few minutes.
In General, for beginners and when you need to save apartment space - probably it is the best choice.

Challenge was the chair that fits all the criteria:
1. Foldable
2. Comfortable
3. A bit pricey, but still an okay price
4. Nice quality of materials and overall build quality
Assembly process does not require a lot of time, the initial correction to your body -- this takes quite some time, but it's only at first with minor corrections over the first time playing with it, after that you are good to use it without the need to correct anything.
My usual racing sessions consist of 1.5-3h of driving, not getting up. Before I got Challenge, I was using regular generic dining chair. It was uncomfortable to use and since pedals weren't fixated, had some minor inconveniences that made me poorly focus on racing.
After getting Challenge, I no longer suffer from some random pains, I focus purely on the race, since my wheel, shifter and pedals are fixated properly and do not bother me during racing.
I highly recommend this chair to anyone who is:
1. A beginner and starts getting into sim racing
2. An advanced sim racer who is constricted with the space at home and needs a compact solution (there's just no better alternative to it, except doing everything DIY, which can be even pricier in the end)
Overall I am satisfied by this model and I am happily using it every day.
Thank you, Playseat!
P.S. Ordered my chair on Sunday, it was shipped out on Monday.
Came on Friday and it was a day later than promised by FedEx, but it is because of virus and border shutdown.
Still would say it was very fast shipping and much needed fun delivered right to my home in such unpleasant times in the world. -

I looked at tables, racing rigs on amazon, and then i stumbled upon this. While putting it together you do certainly question if this is what you paid for, but upon hopping in the playseat and running raps in grab Turismo, you quickly see what it is all about.
For a person as myself with a larger frame, I fit in the seat and was definitely held in place. Having the ability to adjust the wheel and pedals to your seating position is great, and serves as a way to have other drivers fit in the seat comfortably.
Already hooked, grabbing more games, and my friends are already looking into getting their own playseats.
I highly suggest getting one, and changing your racing experience moving forward. -

Ordering/Shipping: I ordered my Playseat during their Black Friday sale and got a great deal on it. The order was processed quickly and I received regular updates via e-mail on the status of my order. I had ordered my Playseat on a Sunday. It was delivered on Friday - a mere 5 days to get from the Netherlands to my home in Washington, DC. I received regular shipping updates from the shipper as well, which were much appreciated.
Setup/Installation: The Playseat comes in a decent sized box with just a few pieces to assemble. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and everything was super simple to put together. No tools are required either as they provide everything you could need. I had the entire thing set up in around 5 minutes, which is about as good as you can get for a "plug and play" setup.
Quality: The overall quality is top notch, especially for the price. I'm 6'5" (~1.96m) and 200 pounds (~90kg) and fit comfortably in the seat. The rails are heavy duty enough to where I feel no flex from them when I sit down in the seat and it doesn't flex or move around on me when getting out. The simulated Alcantara they use on the seat itself is great quality and feels somewhat similar to the Alcantara on my actual race seat, and breathes just as well. The swing arm setup for the steering wheel which allows you to get out and into the seat is a basic setup, but works flawlessly and seamlessly.
Design: The section for the pedals is adjustable in or out, so you can really customize where your feet are on the pedals, which is extremely nice.
The overall cradle design of the seat itself is extremely comfortable and very close to my actual racing seat. While you don't get the side bolster support you would from an actual race seat, you obviously don't need it since you're not experiencing any lateral g forces while playing. The straps that support the seat as well are near perfectly placed and don't interfere or bother you at all. While the seat is not adjustable forwards or backwards and has no adjustable lumbar support, I've never found that to be a problem. It seems to be perfectly fit for the proper form while racing.
The mount for the steering wheel is properly centered and easily lifts up and out to allow entry and exit from the seat. The wheel mount is also adjustable up or down like a telescoping steering wheel in a car would be. My one complaint would be that the wheel isn't adjustable up or down. I'd prefer if it was adjustable up or down, but you can adjust the telescope side of the wheel mount pretty easily to compensate pretty well for this.
Overall: If you have limited space and want a great racing seat setup, I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge! It's extremely comfortable, well built and designed, folds up and stores easily and looks great! I've spent easily 40 hours in my seat since I received it and have recommended it to all of my racing friends who have mentioned in the past wanting a home setup. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one again! -

I am using a Logitech Momo wheel with the Playseat Challenge. All I had to do was remove the center desk clamp from the Momo. The two "front edge" clamps work fine to secure the Momo to the baseplate using a couple pieces of wood to create the "desk depth" that the Momo clamps expect.
Very happy! -

One improvement‘s suggestion: the angle between the head retainer and the seat should be a little bit adjustable.
Nevertheless I am very satisfied. -

Product arrived well packed and the box was way smaller than I expected (even was able to transport it in my Porsche which is rare for any kind of boxes). After opening the box instructions were very clear and assembly of the seat was quick and easy and entirely tools free. My Logitech wheel and pedals also fit perfectly on it.
I have been using the chair for some weeks now almost 5 hours a day and I can tell it is way higher quality for the price than I expected. It is very comfortable to use even long times and haven't shown any sign of being too weakly built on any part. Also it folds away while keeping my pedals and wheel on it so zero extra hassle for taking them on and off either. In the design they seem to have thought of everything since there is even a small pull out side support to stop the seat from falling when you open the wheel part to get into the chair.
It is first racing seat I have no regrets for going for this one. It doesn't feel any worse than my friends more expensive fixed one. Only happens to be cheaper and way more girlfriend friendly. -

I'm using this mainly for iracing and my first 3 races produced two wins in this chair (neither me nor playseat claim that you will win races with this ;)

Overall though I really like the playseat challenge. It's not without its faults, but for the price this is a really good option. I just wish it was a bit wider. NOTE: there is no shifter placement on this chair, you can get the official shifter mount bar from playseat, but I recommend rigging up your own shifter mount with some clamps and angle iron. -

Ordered directly from the Playseat Store, delivered in 4 days. very easy to put together and easy to adjust. I am an average height and weight and the seat is very comfortable. I am using the Playseat Challenge with a Logitech G29, and had no problems installing.
The most amazing thing is how it folds up to a very reasonable size, even with wheel and pedals hardbolted - even my wife is impressed (relieved) that it can be easily stored.
All in all, you just can't go wrong with this. If you are stuck for space it is a no-brainer, and even if you have lots of space it's worth getting too. Now i just need to learn how to drive properly ....
