Ich habe den Playseat Challenge geholt, weil ich einen Sitz brauchte, den man gut verstauen kann wenn man ihn nicht benutzt.
Und genau dafür ist der Sitz perfekt.
Ich habe ein Logitech G920 am Sitz angebracht.
Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut und der Sitz hält richtig was aus.
Selbst wenn man knallhart die Bremse tritt.
Lediglich die Sitzbreite ist etwas knapp für kräftige Menschen wie ich es bin.
Der Preis ist meines Erachtens auch völlig in Ordnung.
Und ich würde empfehlen die "Playseat Floor Mat" gleich mitzubestellen, wenn man auf einem glatten Boden den Sitz aufstellen möchte.

Der Playseat Challenge ist die ideale Lösung für Racer mit Platzproblemen, der Sitz ist für den Gebrauch in 3 Minuten aufgebaut und ebenso schnell wieder abgebaut und verstaut.

Bei mir steht er im Kleiderschrank (ist ja ein Männerschrank, daher ist dort noch Platz).

Der Zusammenbau, bei Lieferung, ist in 10 Minuten erledigt. Es wird keine Werkzeug benötigt. Alles wird gesteckt und arretiert.

Der Sitz lässt sich über die Klettbänder der Armstützen einstellen, ebenso kann man über die weiteren Klettbänder die Sitzposition anpassen.

Die Aufnahme für das Lenkrad lässt sich neigen und ist überaus stabil, selbst bei heftigen FFB Effekten wackelt sie nur minimal und as ist auch nötig. Die Aufnahme für die Pedale lässt sich in Länge und Position anpassen und ist auch sehr stabil. Das "normalerweise" mitgelieferte Klebeband hält das Pedalset in Position.

Warum "normalerweise"? Bei mir fehlten im Originalkarton, die Anleitung, das Klebeband für die Pedalset Befestigung und das Klebeband um den Sitz später im zusammengeklappten Zustand zuhalten.Der Support hat schnell reagiert und mir Ersatz verschafft, leider selbstklebendes Klettband das auch nicht lang genug war.
Warte nun auf meine zweite Ersatzlieferung.

Dennoch ist der Playseat voll nutzbar!

Im Großen und Ganzen ein tolles Produkt.

Der Sessel wirkt sehr hochwertig und auch die Materialwahl ist hervorragend.
Er ist nicht ganz verwindungssteif, aber für seinen Zweck absolut ausreichend.
Das Positivste: Ihn verstauen funktioniert komplett problemlos, und auf das wurde beim Kauf das Hauptaugenmerk gelegt. So verschwindet er spurlos im Schrank und ist innerhalb von Sekunden auch wieder einsatzbereit.
Einzig der Komfort lässt etwas zu wünschen übrig, sofern man nicht ganz der Norm entspricht. Ich wiege in meinem Fall etwas mehr, zwar noch den Belastungsgrenzen entsprechend, jedoch wird es rund um die Oberschenkel schon sehr eng und beengend.
Jedoch hab ich mit einer Größe von über 1,90 keine Probleme dank der ausziehbaren Pedalerie-halterung. EInzig die Kopfstütze könnte noch etwas höher sein.

Alles in allem: Für jemand ganz normalen mit Hang zum Gelegenheitsracen mit wenig Platz ist der Sessel ideal!!

Das Material der Sitzauflage ist hochwertig. Die Konstruktion ist stabil. Lenkrad T300 RS passt sehr gut.
Einziges Manko für mich: Am Ende des Sitzes werden meine Beine zusammengedrückt, was auf Dauer unangenehm ist. Ist wahrscheinlich für schlanke Beine kein Problem.

Schnelle Lieferung, einfacher Zusammenbau mit sehr guter illustrierter Anleitung und dann geht es nach wenigen Minuten schon los mit dem Kavaliersstart.
Super fährt es sich mit dem Playseat Challenge - das Wegrutschen der Pedale oder des Sitzes sind Geschichte und man kann sich voll auf das Geschehen auf der Rennstrecke konzentrieren.
Das macht nun noch mehr Spaß und bringt wertvolle Zehntel :-)
Mein Fazit: Den Playseat hätte ich mir schon früher gönnen sollen :-)

What an incredible find and absolutely awesome service. Ordered on a Monday and was delivered on Wednesday of the same week. Way faster than ordering items from eBay that are shipped from the US and the seat came from Europe to Canada. Arrived double boxed, so shipping was awesome!

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!

i just can say that it hold all this time like a boss of course after couple hours when i start sweat like a pig the seat material become wet as well but as a high quality material it was still confortable to drive and sit on it of course would be way better driving i think on a leather seat but playseat challange seat make a great job as well and i dont need to be worried about that can something go wrong with seat. so im happy about this your product but i will give 8/10 because no gear box holder and would be more comfortable that all rim would be a little bit wider but if we dont watch in these two options then 10/10 ;)
but its only two problems wich i saw after hard using this seat
the advantages of this seat is
good price
space saver
giving all experiance of simulation
love that i can controle seat how i want in all ways
stability is amazing
all those high quality stickers blowing my mind how they can hold me because my weight is 90kg
and of course i love that high quality material
and all design is really cool so just let you know that is amazing product. thank you.

After using it for 2 weeks every night, I had to write a review for this product.

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.

Around two weeks ago I decided to go for a Thrustmaster wheel along with a Playseat product. Although at first I was skeptical about the rigidity and comfort of the Playseat Challenge, I am actually very surprised with how the seat feels and its stability.

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.

Ever since I got my Playseat Challenge, I was addicted to playing driving games. It was the best racing seat I tried while playing my favorite driving games. Besides all the fun in it, it has all the features that I have imagined on an ideal gamer's seat. The design of it's portability and ease to setup and fold is genius. Plus my experience on purchasing this seat is remarkable, as it was beyond my expectations. The seat was delivered to me in a snap and in great packaging.

Thanks again PLAYSEAT. Here is one of your many very satisfied customer. More power to you and keep up the good work. :)

THE perfect solution for the gamer with a wife that does not want your setup permanently in front of the family TV! I am a traveling sales rep and pack my seat, PS, and G27 into my truck for every trip - take into hotel and don't miss a race. Playseat just as stable and perfect today as when I unpacked it 18 months ago. NO issues, NO complaints, Playseat delivered more than expected (unusual today).

I received my Playseat Challenge today and hooked it up to my Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. The assembly was very intuitive and I was racing on Project Cars 2 in short order. I am 6' tall and weight 250lbs. and was concerned about how I would fit in the Challenge chair. All I can say is "wow." It is extremely comfortable and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend the challenge for those who have a confined space to race in. It is excellent in every way possible. After a great session of racing, my Challenge cockpit folded into an easily stowed package. Thanks Playseat!

My gaming chair used for racing finally wore out and I started looking for a replacement. I needed a seat that was comfortable, and could be stored easily. I involved my wife in the process of determining the best option and we both found the Playseat Challenge appeared to be the best option. I ordered the seat directly from Playseat and the process was easy, fast, and actually fun. I monitored the seats journey via FedEx from start to finish as it traversed the globe. The seat arrived in excellent shape and I was able to assemble it in minutes. The materials are of excellent quality, from the Alcantara seat to the tubular chair frame, wheel platform, and high quality Velcro straps. My racing wheel and pedals attached easily and are very stable. I am able to race for long period of time without fatigued or becoming uncomfortable. An added bonus to the Playseat Challenge is the absence the wheel platform post found on other seat seat ups. There is no post between your legs! Thank you Playseat for providing an alternative to larger more fixed racing simulator chairs. See you at the races.

Back in 1998 I remember playing Gran Turismo for the first time and being blown away. Mostly because finally we have the game most of us idealized a proper racing game should be. In 2002 I got my first racing wheel. The first driving force gt. Which I had bolted to a dinner tray complete with a rocking recliner my grandad gave me. Not exactly ergonomical Lol. Hell, a gated shifter was unheard of. I used to imagine what a racing seat at home would be like. Fast forward too today where sim racing has become sort of a snobs hobby. It's expensive. You guys at playseat have found a very special niche with the challenge. Cost, comfort, reliability & functionality. I think finally, we have the rig most of us idealized a proper home rig should be.

I will begin by saying that I'm very happy with my purchase so far. I have put in probably around 12 hours of racing in it so far.

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!

This is the second Playseat Challenge that has been purchased to provide interactive education and awareness to students and adults regarding the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. The seat is used in conjunction with the One Simple Decision driving simulator from Virtual Driver Interactive.

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.

This thing is really everything i could have ever wanted. Comfy as F***, stable and big enough for a grown man and everything at a really competitive price point.
I use it in combination with my Thrustmaster T300RS. Everything fits just fine, no need for any fiddling or "custom made" solutions - it just works.
The other big PRO is that you can store this thing in literally any place that is ~25cm wide / high. This way i can play my simulators on a really good rig and still have no issues with the wife complaining about any bulky thing.
I play my racing simulators in in VR and i just have to say this thing makes the overall feeling so much better.

Thank you Playseat!

Schon beim Aufbau war ich positiv überrascht. Alles an dem Teil wirkt durchdacht und vermittelt einen „Premium Vibe“. Das gilt im speziellen für den Alcantara Sitz selbst.

Einziges Manko (und meine Begründung für vier Sterne beim Design) ist die Tatsache, dass man Fanatec Elite CSL Pedals nicht ohne weiteres Material (in meinem Fall ne extra angefertigte POM-Platte) montieren kann.

Ich muss sagen dieser Playseat Challenge ist wirklich eine ganz neue Gaming Erfahrung.
Mit diesem machts einfach doppelt soviel spaß.

Zum seat selbst:

Komplett einfach aufzubauen und auch schnell zusammengeklappt,
die Verarbeitung ist makellos,
Positiv ist auch, dass kleine Klettverschlussstripes dabei waren für ein sauberes Kabelmanagement,
Der aufklappbare Rahmen worauf das Lenkrad sitzt ist auch super stabil und man kann sich da ganz einfach reinsetzen.
Der Preis ist mit ca. 200€ villeicht doch etwas hoch aber ich bereue den kauf auf keinen Fall und empfehle den seat jeden der wenig Platz hat.

I raced karts and prototypes when I was younger but those days are all gine since I no longer wish to invest that much time and money away from my wife and my kid.
Although she doesn’t mind me having a simulator at home, she does mind if it’s always going to be “there”. I won’t place it in my kid’s room, I can’t possibly put a rig in the living room, in plain view for my wife’s non-sim racing friends to admire, let alone our bed I raced karts and prototypes when I was younger but those days have passed since I no longer wish to invest time and money away from my wife and my kid. room.
The answer came from Playseat’s Challenge seat and It fits perfectly in my closet. I saw a lot of reviews before buying it and most said that although it isn’t exactly a rig, it is a great product for newcomers into sim racing.
I have over 3000 hours of sim racing under my belt and maybe half of that in real life racing. I ain’t no newcomer, and still I believe it has everything a decent rig should have, the sole exception being the fact that it’s got an up-and-down wobble due to the weight of the wheel and the driver’s hands pushing down on the wheel mount in a springy fashion. My brain quickly adapted though and by the time I was flying through Flugplatz in the Nordschleife I had forgotten everything about that wobble.
In every other regard the structure is stable and sturdy. I use Fanatec hardware including the shifter and the V3 pedals for which I had to do some DIY since the shifter mount from Playseat is not compatible with the Fanatec shifter and the pedals move a lot if not properly attached to the pedal base with some brackets.
The pedal base is very adjustable but the seat position is not as great as I thought it was going to be. To me, the position of the headrest leans too much forward and that put some strain on my upper back, especially when using a VR headset. I still have some adjusting to do though.
The seat is light and easy to lay. The suede is very appealing and the design speaks of racing. You can almost smell the petrol. The seat adapts to the shape of your body since it’s held to the frame by adjustable straps of velcro. Very smart design.
You could of course spend up to 2000$ on high end rigs but in my opinion it’s not going to be worthwhile for just a little more comfort and (that i can relate to) a steadier wheel mount, unless of course you’re all about looks and you want a crazy looking rig.

Make Playseat Challenge V2 steadier on the wheelbase and push the headrest just a tad further back and you get an already great product into a must have for sim racers of all trades.

8/10 overall.

letzten Donnerstag bestellt, am Freitag, per FedEx da gewesen. Da ich ne kleine Wohnung habe, schien mir das die beste Lösung.
Obwohl ich bedenke hatte, Stabilität, Komfort usw. doch nach ein paar Minuten des Aufbaus und Einstellung des Sitzes, was soll ich sagen...sehr bequem. Als Lenkrad nutze ich das
Trustmaster T80 Ferrari 488 GTB Edition. Wegen der Klemmvorrichtung für das Lenkrad muss man allerdings die Bodenplatte versetzen. Ist ja kein Problem, die vier Schrauben der Platte lösen, versetzen, Schrauben wieder anbringen und festziehen. Passt alles perfekt inkl. Pedale. Persönlich spiel ich hauptsächlich PSVR und muss sagen, wow, bin sehr zufrieden. Wenn fertig, Stuhl zusammenklappen und Bingo. Bilder dazu spare ich mir. Gibt ja genügend der anderen Reviewern. Also den Sitz kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen wenn es um Platzprobleme geht.

Da die meisten Reviews in Englisch sind, hier etwas für die Interessenten aus Deutschland :D. Ich war auf sehr sehr langer Suche nach dem richtigen Racing Wheel Sitz und bin immer wieder auf dieses explizite Modell von PlaySeat gestoßen. Am Anfang hatte mich eigentlich nur der Preis abgeschreckt aber jetzt da ich den Sitz schon seit nunmehr als 2 Wochen benutze, kann ich nur sagen, dass der Sitz das beste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis anbietet, dass ich gesehen hatte. Das Design ist trotz der Falttechnik richtig schön anzusehen. Die ganzen Materialien sind sehr hochwertig verarbeitet worden und fühlt sich sehr angenehm an. Ich benutze den Sitz mittlerweile auch als Gamingstuhl einfach aus dem Prinzip da der Stuhl sehr angenehm ist und leicht zu bewegen. Die Mobilität und die Möglichkeit das eigene Racing Set daran festzumontieren UND dabei es weg falten zu können war für mich das Kaufargument. Wenn man auf der Suche ist nach einem Racing Stuhl das gut aussehen soll, Stundenlanges Sitzen genießen und vor allem die Flexibilität des wegräumens vereinen will. Hat mit dem PlaySeat Challenge alles richtig gemacht. Übrigens, ich bin 1,80m und habe große Oberschenkel und für mich ist der Sitz dennoch sehr bequem. Falls komplikationen aufkommen sollten, kann man den Sitzwinkel ganz einfach einstellen. Viel Spaß :)

Hatte die Empfehlung von einem Freund, der diesen Sitz schon seit Jahren nutzt und auch sehr zufrieden ist. Das Zusammenklappen und verstauen geht innerhalb ein paar Sekunden und der Sitz nimmt keinen Platz mehr im Wohnzimmer oder so weg.

Für alle die nicht viel Platz haben ist der Sitz ideal, das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist Super. Man kann ganz leicht 3-4 Stunden spielen und es bleibt bequem im Sitz. Wenn man seine Session beendet hat, wird der sitzt zusammengeklappt und in einer Ecke oder im Schrank verstaut. In der Preiskategorie ist das der beste Sitz.

Die Lieferung des playseat war einfach und unkompliziert und innerhalb von 3 Werktagen war das Paket da. Der Aufbau ist kinderleicht und dauert nur ein paar Minuten. Der Stuhl ist aus einem robusten Material und fühlt sich gut an allerdings ist er für Menschen über 1,90m vielleicht ein bisschen zu klein. Ich habe den Stuhl gekauft da er sich zusammen klappen lässt und so wenig Platz weg nimmt was auch noch gut funktioniert wenn man die Pedale und die base am Sitz befestigt lässt.
Natürlich gibt es bessere Sim racing Sitze aber die sind dann auch deutlich teurer. Hier stimmt das Preis leistungs Verhältnis und für den Einstieg oder wenn man wenig Platz hat ist der playseat ideal.

With this chair you van get a perfect race feeling for a good amount of money. The chair with its foldable design is very useful if you haven't enough space in your room.

Die Lieferung des Playseat ging schnell und unkompliziert. Es waren alle Teile vorhanden und der Zusammenbau war dank der beiliegenden Anleitung ganz einfach. Das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis ist top. Der Sitz macht einen sehr robusten Eindruck und man hat keine Angst, dass dort schnell etwas kaputt geht. Ich persönlich habe noch dafür entschieden da man den Sitz zusammen klappen kann und da er so wenig Platz weg nimmt wenn er nicht im Einsatz ist. Für Menschen über 1,90m könnte der Sitz evtl. Ein bisschen zu klein sein, das ist aber der einzige minus Punkt.

Ich habe den Playseat Challenge aus zwei Gründen gekauft
Erstens habe ich keinen Platz für ein Dauerhaftes Rig. Zweitens ist der Preis für die Leistung angemessen, ein dauerhaftes alu Rig o.ä. kostet das 3x oder mehr.

Der Aufbau geht Problemlos, Anleitung ist gut beschrieben und man kann nicht viel falsch machen. Mit Lenkrad anbauen und verschiedene Sitzpositionen testen habe ich ca 30 min gebraucht.
Schrauben fürs Lenkrad (G29) waren auch dabei, super.

Durch die Seitlichen Bänder lässt sich die Sitzposition verändern, so ist eine aufrechte GT Position oder liegende Formel Position möglich.

Auf und abbau ist schnell erledigt und der Sitz passt dann in die Abstellkammer oder Schrank.

Qualität ist super nichts klappert quietscht oder wackelt.

Alles in allem bekommt man ein Gutes Rig für einen vernünftigen Preis.

This is a surprisingly sturdy seat with offers a lot of flexibility both in terms of adjustment and use in limited space. I had put off buying a seat due to the limited space in the TV room and although I had looked at these previously was concerned that they would not be solid enough. A friend bought one and reassured me that they were solid. I have to say that I am really pleased with it and wish I had bought one sooner.

I wanted to upgrade my sim racing setup for a while now. Having used a desk chair and desk clamp to secure the wheel for years, I was looking for a not too expensive, solid and immersive chair. Amazed by its built quality, adjustability, it also offers a wheel plate where I have bolted on my Fanatec CSL elite. Even the 6Nm of power do not give noticeable flex.
I couldn't be happier. The fact it folds away so easily without unmounting the wheel of pedals is an absolute joy! And it takes up to no space as well.
Overall very good product especially for the price range.

If you are faced with the decision to buy a racing seat, there is one model that seems to be impossible to get past. Are all the praise justified, is the seat really as good as many claim? I can anticipate one thing, yes, it is!

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 really like this playseat!
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.

The Playseat Challange is an excellent seat for those with little space, the frame is more sturdy than i thought it would be and although at this time the seat front seems a little on the high side, it is adjustable and I hope will be more comfortable moving forward, otherwise it is reasonably comfortable and allows me to be much more relaxed whist driving and helps to improve lap times. It definitely suits my purpose.
The order process was easy and was dispatched the same day as the order and arrived as predicted by the Playseat store.
On arrival, it took me approximately 30 minutes or maybe less to unbox and assemble. The seat is well made and well thought out in its construction. Thank you Playseat, this will give me many hours of fun.

Ich hatte mich im Vorfeld schon informiert wie ich das Simracing noch komfortabler gestalten kann. Bis jetzt hatte ich mein G29 am Schreibtisch befestigt. Ich dachte mit einem Wheelstand geht es bestimmt besser. Ich hatte diesen auch schon zu Hause, bis ich zufällig eine Rezession zwischen diesem Wheelstand und dem Playseat Challenge gefunden hatte.
Das Aussehen des Plaseats ließ nicht auf den Komfort schließen, den er tatsächlich hat. Sieht ja wie ein Gartenstuhl aus. Aufgrund des Konzepts, da man nicht wie bei dem Wheelstand mit einem Bürostuhl davor sitzt, war ich sofort begeistert und schaute nach ob ich meinen Wheelstand noch zurückschicken konnte. Ja ich hatte Glück. Einen Tag vor Ablauf der Rückgabe frist konnte ich die Rücklieferung veranlassen.

Nachdem ich den Playseat Challenge bestellt hatte, wurde er innerhalb kürzester Zeit geliefert. Er wurde gut verpackt geliefert.
Der Aufbau stellt sich sehr leicht da und kann bequem alleine erfolgen. Innerhalb von 10-15 Min. ist er schon einsatzbereit.
Ich bin 164cm und konnte ihn schnell so einrichten, dass ich auch längere Zeit ermüdungsfrei frei fahren kann. Ich wollte einmal Platz genommen, gar nicht mehr aufhören zu fahren.
Ein herausragendes Merkmal ist auch, dass er einfach zusammenklappbar ist und mit dem Lenkrad nicht viel Platz wegnimmt und so schnell wieder abgebaut ist, wenn der Platz anderweitig benötigt wird.
Jetzt habe ich auch das richtige Rennerlebnis für einen guten Preis.

I've always wanted a sim setup but couldn't afford it and most of all I never had the space. The Playseat has a great ergonomic feel and is extremely comfortable. The material of the seat is excellent and shape formed with just strap supports makes you feel like you're in an F1 style racing seat. The frame is supportive and sturdy. The main USP is that it took 25mins to put together and is easy to fold away with the my wheel and pedals. Every aspect from feel to comfort to functional had been thought of.

For a long time I was thinking about Playseat Challenge, since living in a flat prohibits me having a big sim racing chair.
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.

It's hard to find something that served as a realistic endeavour of racing, while being compact enough to be put away.

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.

I am surprised how heavy duty it is, better built than I was expecting. Adjusting the driving position took minutes using the velcro and provided allen keys. Comfort is great no more stiff backs for this guy. Now I have a stellar race cockpit that can be put away when not being used. Playseat has a winner with the challenge, it is sturdy, comfortable, and super fun.

Use is very simple and comfort is good. Getting out of the seat is tricky but once you’ve done it a few time’s it gets easier. Got my Logitech G29 mounted very easily and all the adjustments make it perfect for all my racing games. I love this seat! A daily use. Folds away at the end of the day and hides easily away from my 2 year old who would climb all over it if he could. Cannot recommend this enough!

This chair is a bit pricey unless you get a deal on it, BUT I have to say I'm very impressed with what it is! This seat was very well thought out and designed. It is super comfortable (even with my bad back) and the material is quality! This is an absolute must have if you are going to get into a force feedback racing wheel. A stand just doesn't do the job of giving you that actual driving feel. This does. No more sliding pedals. It is surprisingly stable (chair and wheel). It's so adjustable in every way. My Fanatec F1 wheel bolts on clean! I'm a perfectionist and I can say I'm very very happy with this purchase. it's perfect for someone who doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a big permanent rig. It folds up and stores easily. If your even considering it, just buy one now. I promise you you will be glad you did!

Living in a 550 sq ft studio with limited storage, space was a serious issue and consideration when purchasing my racing seat setup. I wanted something that could fold up and be stored easily, but that also was comfortable for extended playing sessions. After reading a ton of reviews, I decided on the Playseat Challenge and couldn't be happier. I'll break my review into numerous sections to review everything:

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!

I bought this seat because at the moment i don't have enough space for full sim-rig, but i want to have proper siting position and right wheel location. After assembling this fold-able rig i immediately noticed that it is sturdier than most of reviews are saying, especially in wheelbase plate fixation. It stays in place and there is no movement in any direction with Fanatec CSW 2.5 wheelbase, and after using it for good 10-12 hours i can say it fully supports its power and there is no movement in either direction. seat is comfortable and can be adjusted to different people liking. Assembly instructions are clear, materials are high quality, shipping was faster than promised (arrived 1 day earlier). 11/10 :)

I wish I got it sooner because the way everything is set up and the adjustments make it more comfortable to race in and I do feel more relaxed and faster compared to using a desk and computer chair. The quality is great and it’s really stable for what it is. Highly recommend this for its portability and overall comfort for this price range.

Super easy to put together, very comfortable for adults and kids, holds my wheel, pedals and shifter nice and secure and it really enhances the sim racing experience. When I'm not using it folds up in a few seconds and I just put it in my closet. This seat is affordable and nice very happy with this purchase. Would love to try there other products !!!

I had recently purchased Logitech G29 racing wheel from discount and naturally only after few tries I started to want a proper seat too. Since I have a girlfriend who I share the apartment with something very fixed was not an option. Luckily I found Playseat Challenger and ordered it.

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 did not have high expectations, as it looks like a garden chair on the pictures. But when it arrived I was blown away by the quality and stability. Installation was done in 15 minutes including the adjustments to my size. It's very comfortable, even for longer sessions. The only thing bothering me sometimes is the VR headset being to close to the headrest. But that's a "me" problem.

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 ;)

I love the overall idea and design, it folds up great! Just a few little things you should know, there's nothing included for a separate shifter (e.g. G27) which is annoying, and there are metal pieces right around the hip area which dig into me a bit - probably not as big of an issue if you're a little smaller... Recommended overall!

I've only had my seat for a couple days and I'm pretty happy with it. The quality of the seat entirely is really well made. The fabric is very soft and the frame is solid and the velcro strap seem to be some kind of magic holding my 260lbs self without worry. My only grievance with the seat would be that it's a bit small. Not in the sense of usability, but being I read that it has a 330lbs weight limit, I figured it would be a bit wider than it is. I got thick legs and the metal oval rings on the straps for holding it vertical, dig into my legs, Even though I have the seat laying fairly flat. And let me tell you, there is no "leg room", with the swing arm design and the narrowness of the seat, everything is a bit cramped.

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.

After a long time researching options to upgrade to a proper seat & wheel combo, I took the plunge and bought the Playseat Challenge ... and I do not regret it!
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 ....

Delivery was not under 48 hours, but as it came to Chicago from Europe for free in 72 you can't argue much. Have spent a few multi hour sessions in the challenge and have been surprised by the comfort. I went with this over the other options because of the fold and store capability. The fun/comfort and enjoyment of the first few days had me looking at the other playseats on offer. If you are 50/50 on getting one of these versus sticking with a controller, take the seat, worth it by all accounts.

The Playseat Challenge is an excellent seat for the average sim racer looking for a more fun experience. The solid build quality, comfy seating position and customisability takes sim racing to the next level of enjoyment, all while being foldable and fitting under my bed when not required.

Unfortunately, there is a minor drawback which makes the seat slightly annoying. The servo mounting position isn't quite rigid and there's definitely some movement there, detracting from the whole experience slightly.

All in all though, the seat is excellent value for those looking for a smaller footprint racing seat.

Hi, I should start with how fast it came, I live in the USA and I got it in only four days, the challenge play seat was very easy to set up, I almost didn't need the instruction manual.

I already had a wheel, but I did not use it because it was impossible to set it up and play for any length of time without experiencing pain because of the way I was forced to sit when driving.
I ordered the challenge seat and it arrived prior to the expected delivery date. The unit was well packaged and very easy to assemble, just follow the pictured instructions and it took about 15 min before I was already to race. The design of this rig is very well thought out and will adjust accommodate any size person, comfort is amazing. This rig improved my driving ability, skill and most of all comfort. I highly recomend buying this unit if you are struggling to enjoy your racing game experience!

De playseat challenge is gemakkelijk in elkaar re steken, ik had zelfs de handleiding niet nodig want alles wijst zichzelf uit.
Mijn Logitech G27 past er goed op en gemakkelijk gemonteerd alsook de shifter op de optionele gearshift support.

I love to drive, not that great but I love it anyway. I am always stuck trying to get my TV tray in the right position and the pedals locked into the carpet. What a PAIN!

Guess who got a Playseat Challenge, right, I did...

Love it!

Easy to setup. Very solid, especially since it folds up. It is also pretty comfortable but a bit narrow for my somewhat over-size hiney.

Time to race, pull it out, fold down the pedals, sit down, drop the wheel and everything is perfectly setup.

Company coming, it is out of sight in 30 seconds.

I love this chair and wish I had gotten it sooner. If you are on the fence, come on in, the water is perfect, you will not regret it.

Ok, I'm a recovering car/F1/adrenaline junkie and one thing led to another, bought a high end NVIDIA gaming card, then a gaming keyboard, then a TMX Thrustmaster, and it wouldn't fit on my desk SO I bought this chair! I live in an apt in Manhattan (a big one, with two kids and wife, however, so no room and flack will be taken about filling it up with my "junk..."
GAME CHANGER. With the wheel (and the arguably weak pedals with the TMX, but who cares, can upgrade later :)); and this chair, force feedback on high and I'm having an absolute ball playing F12018, Dirt, and attempting Asseto Corsa but damn that game is twitchy. I have driven cars on multiple race tracks around the world and well, I just don't have the time to do that anymore. Look, the thing is rock solid, folds really well, and you can the guys that designed and built this thing give a sh*. Not some cheap Asian knock-off, poorly designed item. They ship it to you from Europe via Fedex (included, amazing, you can track it all the way)! JUST GET IT! You can see the other kids stuff etc. in this pic, but you can also see how nicely it tucks away, and just open, plug in, and ready to go!

Ordered PlaySeat with no big expectations, but with trust that is going to be a good product. And I was not mistaken. Impressed by the quality and it seems like its going to last for a long time. The seat is very stable even with the aggressive drive.
The only weak point is that the seat is not enough adjustable to be used by kids smaller than 150cm, therefore my little son needs to wait for a couple of more years. I believe that can be fixed by making liftable pedals frame.

So, there is no way that I can have a full racing rig in the middle of my room in front of my TV. At the time, I am limited on space but still wanted to play some Xbox racing games with my Logitech G wheel. Dragging out a shaky table wasn't working either.
Now within a few minutes, I am comfortable and ready to race! Everything is mounted securely to the Playseat Challenge. Plug in the USB and power cord. Folds up when I'm done. I'm really impressed with how stable the whole rig is. Feels just like a racing bucket seat and has many different adjustments to get comfortable.

If you are looking for an wheel stand, look no further. I have been thinking about purchasing a wheel stand for a long time. I had a metal printer stand at work doing nothing and thought i give it a try. It was close without adjustability so, i thought about purchasing a foldable wheel stand. Then i thought i had limited space. The printer stand was a pain to move and set up. So how much better would a wheel stand make? Then i saw this Playseat Challege on You Tube, and glad i did. The set up and take down is easy, since it's all in one. The seat is comfy and once you have it adjusted to your liking, it can be folded up and ready again when you are. I would recommend to anyone that would need to setup and take down when needed.

This chair hits the ideal sweet spot in terms of function and cost. Clever designing and the use of quality materials never makes the Playseat Challenge feel like a cheap choice.
The only ding I have to give it (and it's a quarter star off, not the whole one) is the triangle anchors for the arm rest Velcro bands. The triangle shape sticks out just enough to be noticeable pressing against your outer thigh. Now, I've sat in the chair for at least two hours and have never had any bruising, but an alternate design choice here could eliminate this one contact point.

I live in a smaller apartment with little closet space but I am very involved with Flight simulator's and Racing simulator's. The biggest challenge for me is I don't have the space for a large permanent rig setup and I didn't want to have to tear down my rig each time I have company over then have to set it back up again. The Playseat Challenge accommodates my needs in a couple of ways. First off its easily foldable when I need to move it and you don't have to remove your controllers beforehand. Just fold it up and stash it in your closet or in the corner of your bedroom or living room and that takes about 1-2 minutes in all to do. Secondly the Playseat Challenge works with my racing sim controllers as well as my flight sim controllers and if you have a tiny bit of knowledge on how to modify then you can easily rig up a shifter on the side of the seat as well as a throttle quadrant for flying. The last great benefit for the Playseat Challenge is it DOES NOT BREAK THE BANK. It's the most affordable seat out there on the market and it's more comfortable then many other seats in the similar price range and believe me when your sitting in this seat for hours at a time you need it to be comfortable and not make you sore which after hundreds of hours of use already I can say I never am. Oh yeah one last added benefit is its adjustable which means if you prefer to sit straight up you can, if you prefer to lean far back you can as well or you can have anything in-between to exactly fit your comfort zone. Dare I even say you could even take a small nap in this chair if you where so inclined to do so by leaning it all the way back. I hope my review has given someone out there answers to their questions when considering a Playseat purchase!

This is my first experience with putting together a sim rig. I am limited on space and needed something I could put away when not using, while still providing the immersion that a full cockpit does. The playseat challenge delivers in spades. From the build quality to the mechanical design I am thoroughly impressed.

Having the wheel fold out makes it very easy to get in and out, while allowing you to have an excellent stability and cockpit environment when in use. I am 5'8 and had no trouble getting I to a comfortable position, with plenty of adjustment available to fit my 6 ft friend as well. The simple strap and backstop system means your pedals are rock solid without having to hardmount them. And the sliding system means you have lots of room to move the pedals and get into the perfect position.

The seat is comfortable, with thick durable material and heavy duty velcro straps that can be adjusted to affect the support and seating angle. While not the easiest system, you can't really adjust while sitting in the seat, it only took me about 10 min of trial and error when I first set it up and haven't thought about it since. I can't really think of a better system for this chair that wouldn't increase complexity, price or weight so I can't fault Playseat for the velco set up. It works well, and is a good solution.

It's not the most stable platform, which is to be expected from something as light as this. However your body weight keeps it well on the ground, and to be honest the little movement that the force feedback causes adds to the immersion for me, as some of the ffb is transmitted into my most, much in the same way motion from a car would be. However I have no qualms about the durability of the chair.

The only concern I have is the plastic piece that locks the wheel carrier in place. I feel that if you didn't properly line up the metal tab with the slot in the plastic and forced it closed to many times that it would potentially break. However I am careful to line it up Everytime I use it and don't think it will break barring user error. I would have liked to see that part be metal as well though, for piece of mind.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I got it on discount, bit would t hesitate to purchase at full price.

Solid 4 out of 5 from me, and a huge step up from other small or cpact alternatives. Great job Playseat!

I was aprehensive about ordering this as it was a decent amount and I was a casual gamer. I took the chance and couldn't be more pleased. The seat was easy to assemble and is as easy to use as all the company promotions say it is. It took my driving game to the next level and I am driving much better than I ever did with just a controller. My only issue is that it's a little narrow in the knee area for those with bigger legs. I'm about 5'11" and about 230 and the bracket for the seat strap digs into my legs a little bit right above my knees. It's not a deal breaker though, as it's easy to ignore while you're racing. Overall, the seat is worth the money, even if you're a casual gamer.

I'm glad I finally decided to purchase a racing seat! It's crazy how much a low racing seat changes how you feel while you play a video game. I use a Thrustmaster TMX Pro with the Playseat Challenge. The only problem when using the TMX is that the clamps hit the bar that supports the metal plate you clamp your wheel to. This is causing me to buy a hard mount adapter for the TMX wheel that I found online. The chair takes a little bit to get adjusted correctly as I am 6 feet 1 inches tall. I was able to get perfectly comfortable and love this seat. Overall I easily recommend it to anyone who needs to be able to quickly move their racing setup and/or fold it to put it away.

Recently got the playseat challenge to accompany my Logitech G29. Quite simply, I am over the moon with the product. The quality of the materials generate great comfort especially when it comes to long sessions.

The seat itself adds to the immersion factor of simracing. It really is a must to take your experience to another level on a reasonably tight budget or tight space.

The seat is perfect if you are limited on space or need to move it around a lot. It is light weight, can be folded up in a minute and laid back out again swiftly.

The stand that the wheel connects to is very sturdy and perfect for force-feed back wheels such as the g29. The plate can also be adjusted along with the pedal plate for comfort.

In short, I would definitely recommend this seat due to the great value and quality you receive. A highly comfortable and sturdy rig that is perfect for those who are on a tighter budget and lacking space

When my seat arrived, it was like Christmas morning. The shipment arrived 2 business days after my purchase which is amazing, especially considering that I am in the US. The seat itself was very easy to set up. The instructions were very clear. I had the chair assembled and ready for an initial shakedown in about 10 minutes. Adjusting the seat to find my most comfortable position was a process that took a couple days of trial and error. While this may seem like a long time, it really wasn't, and the belt system used to suspend/adjust position makes this seat extremely custom fitting.

I was immediately shocked at how much better I could focus on driving instead of wrestling with a wheel stand or pedal movement.

Overall the seat feels very sturdy. I am a big guy, 6'2" (~188cm) and 230 lbs (~104 kg), so this really says a lot.

All of this AND it folds up! Are you kidding me? This feature makes for a high spousal approval rating.

My only issue so far has been the retaining piece that secures the steering wheel arm. It appears to have gotten bent at some point. This causes a little movement of the arm. This doesn't make the seat unusable, but it is just annoying. I am hoping that I can replace the part.

This seat is a great deal, and at its price, it is a no-brainer.

After months (if not years) of tricky installation of my racing wheel, I FINALLY found the seat that suits all needs.
- My wheel fits perfectly on this seats (and I'm not afraid anymore to break the table on which I fixed it before)
- I can use the screen in the living room (the biggest at home) without having to move the screen or putting in place a crazy installation.
I simply move the seat (with everything attached on it and cable tighten with the equipment provided), in front of the TV, plug the 2 cables (Power and USB), run a couple of races and then move it back to his closet.
Being able to store/hide the seat in a closed (or anywhere) is a life changer as the "lady of the house" is not complaining anymore about my stuff lying around :D

Thank you playseat for this amazing product!!

As a car designer, knowing the ergonomics of racing seats, this product is quite good for such simple structure. I was very skeptic in the beginning, however after ordering it, it blew me away.

1. Delivery was quite faster than promised in emails. Therefore were very happy when i received earlier than i expected.

2. Construction was quite simple, not too much hassle.

3. Sitting process is also cool, when you see right away you don't feel the comfort but after sometime, you feel the ergonomics are good. I wish steering part was adjustable, so you can bring closer to yourself. But still really good.

4. Overall impressions are quite positive. Worths every penny. Definitely awesome for such budget. Please keep it up!

I had been looking for a simulator cockpit for a while as using a rolling chair with my computer desk was causing problems, usually it's hard to heel-toe if the pedals move away from you every time.

Being an average married 30 year old, my wife controls every aspect of my life, and thank god she let's me have an office where I can play video games with her permission, but she wasn't going to let me add a big non collapsible sim rig to the room. WHAT AN EYESORE she would think, and so that wasn't going to happen.

THANK YOU TO PLAYSEAT for making a rig which folds up to the size of about 2 folding chairs stacked on eachother, because of this I was able to slowly convince my wife to let me get the rig. My cables are long enough that all I have to do it's fold it up and move it off to the side of my desk when not in use, and I can unfold it and be back in action when I want to play in no time.

Now I'm heel-toeing like a boss, breaking all my old lap records, and looking good doing it.

Build quality is much better than expected given the low price, everything is very solid and I was even able to mount my shifter on the side with minimal wobble.

Can't recommend this thing more. Thank God I found out about it.

Very nice, comfortable, enjoyable and compact at the same time.
Stable enough for slim guy and G25, easy to get in/out.

The alcantara material is very nice and comfortable, I really like how compact and how easy it is to (un)pack it. Disconnect power adapter/usb put them inside the chair fold the chair, strap it on top, fold pedals, strap them - and that's it - can put it aside and clear the space.

I use it with G25 w/o shifter, Oculus Rift, racing in AC. Previously mounted G25 on computer table and sat on dining chair - obviously quite an improvement from that - also feel my times/consistency improved with it.

Cool product, thanks.

The play seat is better than I expected. Heavier than I expected (which is a good thing). Fun and comfortable for hours and easily adapts to different size people.

The only ways I can see to make it better would be a tilt option for the headrest and a slider, fore and aft, for the wheel.

Keep up the good work. I’m going to get another for my trailer.

Purchased after returning stand with center post. The Playseat Challenge was recommended by my brother. Setup was easy and straight forward. In use the seat is comfortable (average height and heavy - not fat build) and easy to use. I noticed in a forum where it was mentioned that the seat could constrict at the thighs, I have not noticed any problem. I like the seating position and feel.In play it is stable and holds the wheel (TM300RS) firmly and steadily. The pedals work well with the velcro strap holding them securely in place. The entire assembly folds easily and quickly and is easy to store when not in use. Overall I am extremely pleased with the Playseat Challenge and would recommend it to others looking for an easy to use and not overly expensive gaming rig.

I ordered the play seat challenge mostly for the easy storage. I don't have a ton of room so this is easy to store. I haven;t been able to use it much because of problems with my 458 wheel, but the few times I have it has been great. Ordered right from the store, came pretty quick, about a week, but worth the wait.
I am short , a little over weight, so it is no problem getting in,a challenge getting out though!! I would load a picture, but do not have a wheel attached at this time, hopefully getting fixed!!

After recently purchasing the Oculus Rift and some driving games I was looking for a wheel and chair. I got the Logitech G920 with pedals and began looking for something to place it on. A full sized racing chair was not a possibility. The prices were kind of ridiculous and I wanted to be able to store it easily when not in use. I was looking at the wheel stands and was about to pull the trigger on one. I wasn't sure what chair I would use with it and couldn't understand how it could possibly hold the wheel very securely. Then I came across the Playseat Challenge. I am glad I happened upon the perfect solution.

After reading the reviews I decided to order. I couldn't believe how quickly it got to the United States. (3 days, I think!) The outer packaging was slightly damaged, but the second inner box was in perfect condition. I unpacked it and had it assembled in about 15 minutes. The Logitech wheel fit perfectly and secured with the included bolts. I was able to adjust the angle of the wheel platform, sitting position, and distance to the pedals so it fit perfectly. I am 6'3" 220lbs. This thing was plenty big, and sturdy enough for me to flop into it. It was also adjustable enough to work for my 9 year old. If you are much bigger than me it may get a little tight. The seat is about 19 inches wide and around your knees, where the wheel supports come down, is about 16.5 inches. Your legs angle in toward the pedals at that point and it fits me well with a little extra room.

Everybody wanted to take a turn once I got it set up. The immersion is incredible between the force feedback on the wheel being passed onto the chair and the VR goggles. Did I mention this thing is comfortable? I told my wife to come check it out. The VR games made her sick to her stomach, but she comented on how comfortable the chair was. She said she wanted to watch a movie in it. I told her to get out and I got back to driving. She can get her own. For something that looks like a lawn chair in the box the Velcro straps across your back, molded headrest, and sturdy frame give excellent support. The wheel and pedals are held securely and allow you to really muscle them around without them going anywhere.

Storing it away is as easy as the other reviews say. Fold the frame, strap, fold the pedals, strap, and slide it into a corner. No more than two minutes. When you unfold it the side Velcro straps put it right back into the position you had it in previously.

For little more than a quality wheel stand, do yourself a favor and pick this up instead.

So I was a little skeptical of this thing before I bought it. I mean $250 for basically a lawn chair with a piece of metal over your lap? How can it be worth that much? But I read some reviews, I was tired of my cheap setup, and I needed something that allowed me to keep my living room space too. So I pulled the trigger, and I haven't regretted it since.

This thing is awesome. Super comfortable, great quality alcantara, great mounting points for the T150 (with Ricmotech adapter), and it even included hardware! The only reason I was frustrated by that was because I went and got the exact same bolts it came with because I didn't realize it had them with it!

You can sit in the chair for hours on end and not worry about it, it doesn't get too hot, and there really isn't any noticable movement in the steering wheel plate.

10/10 would recommend, totally worth the price. Just buy the thing already, you know you want it!

This seat is perfect for enhancing your sim experience while trying to save a little space. I live in a condo and have a 5 month old son so saving space is definitely at the top of the list when I was searching for the right seat. It also works great with the thrustmaster t gt wheel!!! I was worried that the t gt would be too bulky or heavy but it works fine. I have the T3PA-Pro pedals and even though the provided strap doesn't fit over the pedals, the "pedal tray" (I'll call it) still holds the pedals firm in place. It makes it even better that it is possible to have a nice, affordable, and functional option out there for sim enthusiasts to still be able to enjoy their favorite racing games. Playseat bravo on this design, I could have leapt for joy when it arrived at my door last week!

I am a Disabled Veteran that lost his left thumb which greatly changed my ability to game. I love racing and first person shooter games but found it very hard to play anymore. Since I no longer work I was on the market for a seat for my Logitech g920 wheel and pedals to make racing easier for me. With the lack of funds and the wife riding me about money I found the Playseat Challenge and decided to buy it because they offered free shipping and it was priced right. When it showed up the setup was quick and easy. It took a few minutes to adjust it to me and I was off racing. Having severe back problems after five surgeries I was worried about the comfort but I am able to sit in it all day racing with no problems. I will absolutely suggest this product and company to everyone. I will also upgrade to better products from them as funds allow. Thank you for your quick delivery and great product!!

The Playseat Challenge has raised my fun level to the max when I am racing on my Xbox. I used to sit in a regular chair with my steering wheel attached to a table, but now I'm sitting in a perfect semi-reclined position to use the steering wheel and the pedals. I'm a large man at 240 lbs., but I fit in the Playseat without a problem and it is comfortable for hours. It was easy to assemble, and I can easily fold it up and put it away when I'm done.

I am new to sim racing and did a lot of research online to try and find the right platform for my Thrustmaster T300rs wheel and pedal set. I needed a portable solution, since I don't have the room for a full racing seat setup (or the funds to buy one). It came down to the Playseat Challenge or one of the competing wheel stands. Many online reviews stated that they ended up replacing their wheel stands with a Playseat Challenge, and they wished they had bought the Challenge first. That really helped me decide, and I'm glad I avoided that mistake. The Challenge is everything and more than I expected, and even though it was a little more than I had hoped to spend, I've discovered that it is well worth the price. I highly recommend the Challenge to anyone who only has room for a portable racing seat. Don't make the wheel stand mistake, save up for a Playseat Challenge. You won't regret it.

Like most game console drivers, I can only dream of having a full sized driving seat setup. Room limitations and the need to move my wheel out of the room so family life can resume, have led to multiple wheel mount purchases. Finding a decent wheel stand is not too hard, but that still leaves the chair dilemma, the need for comfortable chair with good driving position that is portable. A quick Internet search led me to the Playseat Challenge. It is the perfect answer comfort, stability, and portability.

The Challenge arrived in the USA in less that a week and was well packaged, double boxed, and in perfect condition. Assembly was a simple process and was completed by following the clearly illustrated and diagrams in the manual. There are no language barriers to overcome; just follow the pictures and adjust the seat to position of your choosing. My Thrustmaster 300 wheel fit perfectly with the pre- drilled holes that accommodate most major wheel companies' products. An allen wrench is included along with mounting screws so there is no hunting for tools in the garage.

As far as driving goes, I can drive for much longer and in greater comfort using this seat. It is quite stable, though getting in and out of the seat takes some getting used to especially when the chair is in a steeply reclined position like I use. Once you get some practice egress is easy (I am 65 so...). Once I got to driving I shaved two seconds off my best lap time at Abu Dhabi and I am consistently faster than I was with my wheel stand and chair. The wheel does move up and down a bit, but it is not noticeable while driving and blends with road surface irregularities and bumps quite realistically.

Setting the seat up and taking it down are faster and easier than my previous wheel stand and chair. It requires only one trip to the closet instead of two and everything I need to race is right there. I can't recommend this chair highly enough for anyone who needs portability, comfort, and more speed!

Arrived quickly from overseas and setup was pretty easy. Took quite a bit of Velcro adjustments to get my ideal sitting position, but once it's set, you don't need to mess with it again. It's basically like an inclined hammock and super comfy, can sit in it for hours with no issues.

My only complaint, and this is minor, is the mounting surface for the wheel base. It's fairly sturdy, but even so - when mounting a Thrustmaster T300RS-GT Edition, there is some up/down wobble when steering. I have never used a wheel before so I didn't know the base and wheel would be so heavy to cause this, but to be fair, it's about as sturdy as engineering will allow for a portable/fold-able chair.

It's not problematic when playing because you're immersed in racing and don't really notice, but in the future when I have more space I will absolutely get a full rig so the wheel feels rock solid. I get a bit enthusiastic when driving and tend to push/pull the wheel and I fear I may break the mounting surface eventually on this product.

Space is an issue here, and I was looking for something that I can easily stow away when not playing, and can quickly set up when I have 20-30 minutes to burn on the road. A friend pointed out the Challenge, and I shortly had one ordered.
Shipping was quick, setup was a breeze, and once I sat in and played once I can't seem to get back to the "casually grabbing a controller and racing a couple laps".
Totally worth it, and I was actually surprised by the build and fabric quality. Highly recommended.

Hallo Leute,

ich habe mir den Playseat wie warscheinlich die meisten gekauft da ich einfach keinen Platz für einen fest installiereten hatte und der Aufbau am Küchentisch
1. zu lang gedauert hat
2. nach einigen Stunden des spielens hatte ich wiederum einige Stunden mit meinem Rücken zu kämpfen
3. einfach keine optimale Sitzposition hin zu kriegen war.

Ich bin von diesem Sitz mehr als begeister !!! Warum?
1. Es ist kein Camping Stuhl !!!
2. Sehr sehr wertig und durchdacht konstuiert
3. ZUSAMMENKLAPBAR innerhalb von 2 Min auf bzw abgebaut
4. Fantastische Einstellmöglichkeiten bieten
5. Man den Sitz inklusive Pedale und Lenkrad einfach in den Schrank schmeißen kann.

Da ich leider keinen Platz für ein "festes" Simracing Setup habe bin auf der Suche nach einer Alternative auf den Playseat Challenge gestoßen. Lieferung und Aufbau ging flott. Die wheelbase des Fanatec CLS Elite ließ sich ohne Probleme mit den mitgelieferten Schrauben befestigen. Die Pedale musste ich jedoch mit Kabelbindern befestigen.

Die Sitzposition ist gut, vielleicht etwas zu nah am Lenkrad. Das eigentlocje Problem sind jedoch die Pedale. Wenn man richtig hart auf das Loadcell Bremspedal tritt kann es schonmal vorkommen, dass aich die Pedale trotz Befestigung nach vorne, und sich der komplette Sitz nach hinten neigt. Etwas nervig, aber ich werde demnächst Mal etwas mit der Software einspielen, evtl kann man die Bremsen noch feinjustieren.

I made my own little setup with some PVC and wood when I first got my wheel. It was neat, but I always knew I wanted to get a real seat. I also knew that I couldn't get a full seat, because I simply don't have the space. The Challenge is perfect for me. Set up and tear down in less than a minute, and it really takes up no space when folded up. It has surprising sturdiness for both wheel and pedals for being a foldable frame. It also has just enough adjustability to fit just about anyone. This chair is amazing.

Always wanted a Playseat, to feel more in the zone. However having 2 kids, I couldn’t get a dedicated setup. Found the Challenge by sheer luck as I didn’t know it existed and all I can say is, pure brilliance. Easy to set up and put away and suits my T-300RS GT great. The wife is now happy that I can tuck it away from view and I’m not destroying the settee with my home made stand.
Highly recommended by me and my family

The next best thing to a fixed unit. So much better than TV trays, sandbags, stands or all the other things i went through. Gives a good "in car" feel and can store it away when done. One consideration if you plan to buy - seat angle and distance from wheel move at the same time. Body size and your ideal position will make a difference if this seat works for you. I let the straps out for a more laid back angle and found myself on the floor after a short time. Put some straps around the front and rear bars touching the floor for extra support and all is good. Overall one happy driver.

Since buying a steering wheel to enhance my driving games I wanted something better to attach it to rather than using my Black and Decker work mate and a dining chair (see before and after photos). After buying the Playseat Challenge as an early Christmas present to myself it has completely changed the experienced once again. Extremely easy to put together, comfortable even after hours of sitting in it and best of all perfect to store away in the under stair cupboard. Easily the best purchase I have made for my PS4, two of my colleagues purchased one also and they are equally as impressed.
Thank you Playseat!!

The chair has good functionality to the design for the hardcore gamer. It is well constructed and has the ergonomics needed for long periods of playing that is indicative of the gaming world.
I felt the pricing was a bit high but if it lasts then I guess the price is justified.
I would recommend this chair for those that have a variety of games they have in their collection. With the ability to connect the peddles and steering wheel for the racing/GTA type games makes this chair an all round great addition to your world of gaming!

I bought this rig because it was simple and easy to move. I was experiencing back pain due to sitting in a kitchen chair. I league race which calls for long hours in the seat due to high volume of practice. I can achieve that with ease with the playseat challenge. It forms to your body supporting every contour. It’s like a baby in a cradle. Because my butt isn’t going numb and I have no back pain, it’s led to better lap times and way more consistency in the long races. You can litteraly sit in this all day long without any issue. The quality is above what I would expect and it’s way more beefy than I thought it would be. I would have loved to had an adjustment to rake the pedals but I’m planning on building a platform to do that. The pedals being flat does put a little strain on the knees after long hours of racing. That being said your average Joe will never know the difference. Like I said I practice for long stents due the demands of endurance racing.

If you want something that isn't a permanent fixture in your room, but are pretty serious about your SIM racing, then you can't really top the Challenge. Most wheel stands cost just a little less and with this you get the whole set up. It is quite comfortable and is easy to fold up and put in the closet or wherever. I just got mine last week and have already logged quite a few hrs in it. I just wish I had more hands so I could give it four thumbs up. Excellent piece of kit. Thanks

So I am new to Sim Racing and just bought my first wheel (Thrustmaster t300rs gt) along with the Playseat Challenge - What a HOOT! I cannot imagine having one without the other - the Challenge is amazingly comfortable and sturdy for a light collapsible design, and at 200+ lbs my wheel and pedal set remain firmly in place. I don't believe there is a better system out there for the money. I am so happy I didn't try and make do with a stand, as the playseat brings a level of authenticity to the experience that I don't think could be replicated.

After picking up a Logitech G920 on a Black Friday Deal, I wanted a cockpit to complete the experience. I looked around on Amazon, eBay, etc, and found a few options that fit my needs. Originally I settled on a wheel stand made by a competing company that can eventually be upgraded using a real car seat but I decided to cancel my order and get the playseat challenge instead due to the cost and the ability to fold the seat up when not in use.

Shipping was fast and the seat itself is high quality. I love the seat and when adjusted it feels perfect for what we are all looking for, racing! I also grabbed the stick shifter adapter but you can also make due using a few RAM mounts. If you're looking for a cockpit yourself, look no further as the playseat challenge is an amazing seat.

It was Thanksgiving in the United States and I had just been given some of the best news of my life. I was getting a Playseat. No longer would I be relegated to a plastic chair and a rickety wooden table to conduct my Grand Turismo Sport racing. I had been given the green light and was ready to place my order. I searched for hours, looking for a “deal” or a coupon code but nothing would work. I chalked this up to the superior reputation of the Playseat name. Obviously they wouldn’t lower themselves to parlor tricks to garner recognition. Their name speaks for itself. Not only that, the Playseat Challenge was already on sale! Wasting no more time I delved into the website from my phone. I easily found my item and added it to my cart. I thought I’d try one more thing. Utilizing the chat function, I asked the beautiful young lady (she had a picture in the chat) if she would give me free shipping since it was my birthday. She politely declined. Undeterred, I pressed on. Item added. Shipping calculated (about $40 to the US). Paypal information entered. Submit. Woohoo! Now I just had to wait. How long, you ask? Well, I got back on the chat and asked my fair assistant and she quickly replied that it would be 5-8 days. For such a long journey, I was quite impressed. Notifications arrived in a flurry. My own personal Playseat was in the mail within a day. The Fed Ex tracking indicated that delivery would be 2 weeks, much to my chagrin. But wait! It arrived early! On the 7th day to be exact. I was elated beyond words and quickly set to work on assembling my racing seat.
Done. Yep. Assembly was a breeze. The instructions are illustrations only but it’s really pretty self-explanatory. Now that the chair was assembled it was time to adjust. A word to the wise: Do NOT attempt to adjust the chair whilst sitting in it. Unless you WANT to be splayed out on the floor with your girlfriend laughing at you. With that lesson learned I tried out several positions until I settled on a very laid back stance with my feet far in front of me. It’s amazing. I feel like a champion when I race now and my lap times have already improved. The fine alcantra suede really makes it a comfortable “ride” too. So far, I have zero complaints. Well, it’s a little hard to get out of sometimes but that’s not the chair’s fault. It’s my fault for making the position so low and for being 6 feet 2 inches tall and for not wanting to stop racing.
You know what else is great? I had a party the other day and needed space so I just rotated the steering wheel down and folded everything up and moved it into the closet. Easy peezy.
This is a great product and I encourage anyone that doesn’t have the space or money for a fully actuated racing dungeon to try this product. Tell ‘em I sent ya. (it won’t help you out, but they’re pretty nice anyway)

I'm beside myself on how "brilliant" they made this Playseat Challenge - the fact that it's not only comfortable and the ease of access to use it, it actually folds up to take up less room.

super fast delivery even to south Italy. Product is solid and robust, well engineered, made of quality materials, super comfortable, easy and fast to open/close, stable as a rock. If you plan to use it occasionally in the living room, this is THE choice. As my first seat, I am also super glad I did not spend more for other products, as I not missing their featurs at all. However, It is so cheap I still can consider upgrading my set up by adding any other type of plasyseat, in the future, for a two seats game set, as soon as a dedicated room will be available.

This chair is a life changer. If you are like me, married and in a house that is barely big enough, you understand the space constraints I am under. Before this chair I had a basic (but still expensive) stand that just sat on the ground, not attached to a chair. I tried playing from my couch, my office chair, every chair in the house. Yeah they worked, but okay at best. The stand slid around, it was a constant adjustment, it flipped and flopped and mid race trying to adjust all these things...painful if not impossible.

The Challenge seat was not much more than the stand in cost, but it was a life changer. It is very comfortable, you can play the game for much longer (the wife loves that...no she doesn't...) and it takes up less space (she does love that!). It folds up easily, can be tucked into a closet or behind a chair and it out of sight. It folds out in seconds, I slide it into place and I am locked into a 1,000 HP track monster tearing up Willow Springs. The feel is incredible, it is a night and day improvement, so much more realistic.

Someday we all hope to have a full sim setup with a nice Recaro seat, but until I hit the lottery and can afford that full blown set up with a house large enough to hold it, this Challenge seat is the winner winner chicken dinner! Race on!

To get that "Low Driving Position" I've been using a "Bean-Bag". All I got was back backache! So my PS4 lay dormant for quite a time. GT7 came out, and I had to start again... but this time with my Playseat® Challenge. No more aches and pains. Just pure fun and my Playstation is running hot once more. I'm 1'96 (6'5), but with just 15 minutes assembly and adjustment, I found my perfect driving position. The design and quality is outstanding, as are the materials used. The alloy tubing is stable, the seat fabric feels really nice, and it was very easy to mount the Wheel and Peddles. When I'm finally dragged back into the real world, my Playseat folds up and stored underneath the spare bed. If you're into Driving Simulation... look no further than the Playseat® Challenge.

Well what I can say other than this thing is awesome. Without this sounding like a too stereotypical review, it really does improve the overall experience of driving with a steering wheel and pedals.

After doing lots of research I kept coming back to the Playseat Challenge and am definitely glad I ended up going that way.

The fact it folds up is just a bonus. It really has taken VR driving to another level. Definitely recommend...and I received the item with 1 week of ordering in Australia.

Just received my seat and it was nicely packaged and easy to install - my G29 wheel was not an issue. Cables, a bit of an issue, but will most likely figure this out in the next few days. Logged a few hours in the seat and it is very comfortable. I have not folded the seat yet, but suspect that maybe be a challenge, especially finding the right piece of Velcro to hold the foot pedals. Other than that the seat is a great entry level seat at a very competitive price. Not to mention that it can fold up, saving space and ear time from my wife / kids.

I recently got a racing wheel and pedals for my PS4 along with a copy of Project Cars. I was very excited because I could not relive the great times when I used to race shifter go-karts as a kid and drive really cool cars. Got home, fired up the TV and Playstation, dissasembled a bar stool, hooked the wheel there and sat at the edge of the bed to play. Wow!! This drives like a real car! But wait now I need something to lock the pedals in place cause they keep moving... Shoe box to the rescue, placed it between the TV stand and the pedals... Fastforward a couple hours later... My back is killing me. My improvised setup, although quite imaginative was terrible.
Decided to go on the internet and do some research. Long story short I found the Playseat Challenge read and saw countless reviews, some technical some not so much, got to the website and fired the trigger to get one.
Best decision ever!!! The Playseat Challenge is very well made, the fabric feels and looks amazing and it is incredibly comfortable for long driving sessions. It also has the benefit of being very easy to store under the bed or in a closet, so the girlfriend does not complain of your stuff being in front of the TV all the time.
So if you just got a wheel, want to properly drive your favorite super car and take it for a proper spin around SPA, don't even think about it and get this bad boy. NOW!

I've been racing with a wheel stand for years. I sat on the couch very far away from the monitor. Basically, not the most ideal position.
From the couch if I setup the proper FOV in game, there was no way that I could play. So, my FOV was never correct.
In addition, sitting on the couch was uncomfortable and my back would hurt after a short while. I never played for more than 45 minutes because of that.
I also couldn't use a set of loadcell pedals I have on the wheel stand b/c there was nothing holding the stand so it would slide when I pressed hard on the breaks.

I finally decided that I would spend the money and buy the Challenge.

WOW. Now, life is different. Here are the highlights:

1) So much more comfortable. Be aware. Time will pass and it will be hours later before you decide to stop playing and that's probably b/c you must go to bed so you can get up and go to work the next day. Boy, I wish my work was to sim race :)

2) Setting up the correct FOV. Again WOW. In some tracks, my time has improved by over 2 seconds. In one particular track, I am over 3 seconds faster. Now, this is not a feature of the seat per se since you could do that by just sitting closer to your monitor on a regular seat, but for me, it is because I now have the Challenge that I can use in my living room and put away when I'm done (may hours later) and have my wife still be happy.

3) Who needs a butt shaker when you have this seat. Because of the construction of the seat, you feel the vibration coming from the wheel on your entire body. I find that so engaging and I believe it even helps with my driving since I know with my entire body what's happening with the car. But don't mistake the feeling of the vibration as a sign that the Challenge is poorly constructed. I've found the construction to be top notch.

4) I can use my loadcell pedals again. This in combination with the proper FOV is what has, I believe, contributed to the better lap times.

Here is the only negative that I found with the seat. There is no built-in way to place a shifter. I knew this so I bought the adapter with the Challenge. However, once I got it, I realized that the position of the shifter with this adapter would not be ideal. I decided to make my own mount. Ram Mounts to the rescue. I purchased the following items: Ram Zinc U-Bold 1-inch ball, Ram Mount Double Socket Arm for 1-inch Ball Bases, Ram Mount Motorcycle Brake/Clutch Reservoir Cover Base with 1-inch Ball.
Once I had these items, I placed the U-Bolt between the seat on the clamp on the right-hand side. I attached the double socket mount and the motorcycle mount to that. Then I attached the shifter to that using the table clamp that came with the shifter.

Final thoughts. Are you short of space and want to have a rig that is easy to setup and put away when done? BUY THE PLAYSET CHALLENGE. Is it better than your couch? Heck yes. Is it better than a desk chair? Heck yes. Is it better than a full-blown rig? If you don't have the space like I don't, heck yes.

BTW, it arrived to my house 2 business days (4 days early total) before the scheduled delivery date. I received it all the way here to the US in 4 days.

My current equipment:
Rig: Playseat Challenge
PC: Intel i5-6500, 16GB memory. 500GB SSD, 2TB HDD, GTX 1016 OC 6GB video card.
Wheel base: Thurstmaster T300RS
Rims: All Thurstmaster: Ferrari F1 Wheel, Ferrari 599XX Evo Alcantara, VG TX (never gets used)
Shifter: Thrustmatger TH8A
Pedals: Fanatec CSR Elite (oldies but goodies)

Sims I play in no particular order: Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Race Room Racing Experience, Automobilista, iRacing, and I'm looking forward to Project Cars 2.

Racing Level: I'm an average player. In every World Faster Gamer rFactor 2 trials I placed a bit better than 1/2 way every time. In iRacing I have a C license with a 4.97 safety rating and a ~1800 iRating (road, I don't do oval) after 2.5 months.

Let me start off by saying I have never have had such a positive experience with a product or company as I have had the this one. I ordered the Playseat Challenge on a Friday afternoon from the U.S. I was notified on Monday the product was shipped, and it was at my doorstep on Wednesday before noon. The packaging was done excellent. As far as the seat itself. When you compare the price, and the quality of the seat, it's hard for me to imagine any product better on the market. The seat is comfortable, durable, and exactly as advertised. This company has provided me with excellent customer service and a high quality product. Plus 3 months free iracing. Fantastic.

Good racing seat for a beginner like myself and little room. Not too over priced easy to put together, just a tiny bit wablly when the steering is hanging over, but it doesn't tip over. Over all I would recommend the challenge racing seat for a first time buyer.

Now the only negative thing is the price of the shifter mount. When installed the chair will not hold all the way correctly and I think it's over priced for a peice of metal. However it's does the job and shifter is attached well.

I'm using this with the Fanatec CSL Elite Wheel base that is very heavy, but the Playseat Challenge is sturdy! The wheel base sits there firmly, no wobbling at all.
Unfortunately the CSL wheel base has only one screw hole that matches with the template on the metal base, but the Playseat Challanges shipped with two huge strips of excellent adhesive velcro tape and that is enough to keep the base in place while driving and when I store it folded.

The seat is very comfortable. After spending about 6 consecutive hours in it (this says a lot about how much fun it is), the only thing that hurt were my hands!
The seat has many degrees of adjustability, so I'd really recommend that you take your time figuring out what works for you. My only complaint is that I wish that the pedal board could be positioned a bit higher above the ground.

The design is great, you can tell that every single detail has been thought out with the user in mind; whether it was to make it comfortable or easy to store or enjoyable, they didn't cut corners.
The alcantara is a nice touch!
Storing it away is extremely easy, it takes just few seconds after developing the muscle memory :) If your wheel base is bulky like mine, make sure to tilt the steering wheel all the way in, if not almost upside down. The only downside of folding it is that you will loose the pedals setting, but I'm thinking that with the right marker I could mark the position on the rods.

Enough for now, let's race!

I really like the Playseat Challenge. It sets up easily and breaks down easily. Once you get it adjusted, it can be very comfortable. Pretty awesome product but there are a couple of things that would make it even better. I have a Thrustmaster T300 wheel and it is pretty big. Where it mounts is too close to the seat. It looks like you can use different holes on the mounting plate to accommodate, but it would be nice to have a quicker method of adjusting so I can switch from adult to kid mode quicker. The other thing which would be an easy fix. There needs to be more velcro to attach on the arm rests. I have to adjust it way back to get comfortable, but then there is very little velcro left to hold me up. It has dropped me a couple of times before I figured out where to adjust it to hold. I am afraid to let my heavier brother in law sit in it! I suggest making an American version for the new wider generation.

Ordering online can be a bit of a lottery, especially with a product like this, as you can't really tell the quality of the product from pictures and poor build quality or flimsy materials would ruin any enjoyment to be had. The fact it is German gave me a degree of reassurance but it was only when it arrived that my mind was put at ease. It took 5 mins to set up with clear instructions and is everything I had hoped for. It feels solid and the seat is very comfortable. Thankyou to playseat.

I bought this Seat to work with my T300RS. I always wanted a race seat that fitted in my small apartment. The most seats on the market are too space consuming. So i was very happy when I discovered the playseat challenge.

It is perfect designed for small space and can be folded into a very small size. The best about this rig is that all the peripherals (i.e. the wheel, pedels) stay attached to the ri, even when folded.

I was also very suprized to see how stable it was. There is no movement that would feel wierd. I sit comfotrably in this chair even though i'm 2 meteres big.

The only thing that bothers me is the price. I would love to see that rig at a price of 150 €, that way it could fit perfectly between the higher positioned playseat evolution and conventional wheelstands.

I would recommend this product as an entry- Level rig and as a console rig. It is stable and drilled for most wheels on the market. I would definetly buy this product again and the shipment was fast and reliable. It only took two days to deliver to Germany. Great Product!!!

I've been a console lap racer for years, all the way back to the PS2. As racing simulations got better, my experience didn't. Finding the Playseat Challenge has completely changed that. With limited space and budget, I thought having a true driving cockpit was never going to be for me. The Playseat Challenge is high quality, yet reasonably priced, and allows me to mount my wheel, pedals and shifter and drive in true comfort. Very stable when in use, but folds very compact without removing any of my gear. I would highly recommend the Playseat Challenge to anyone, especially those with limited space.

I have recently bought this amazing gamers seat, playseat challenge, I was extreamly supprised how comfy this is and how well it was engineered, It takes about 3min to setup and once it is folded up, I can store it :)
The driving position is the most important to me and I belive this was achived with this seat. The aesthetics are spot on.
I enjoy every minute playing.

De stoel is zeer makkelijk in elkaar te zetten. Het zitcomfort is variabel in te stellen. Het hele gezin maakt er inmiddels gebruik van en is een hele nieuwe beleving van een racesimulator!
