Great budget chair for Logitech fans with tight space
This chair works perfectly with my Logitech G920 and is a huge improvement for more precise driving and braking. The assembly was pretty straightforward and only took 15 minutes or so. Since it's the G edition, the wheel, pedal and shifter fits almost perfectly, except one minor issue: when folding, the shifter somehow obstructs the tube and prevents the wheel from tilting further. As a result, I can't fold the chair to the upright position and hence the pedal is blocked.It appears my shifter has an additional piece for supporting when the shifter is mounted to a desk, which is not shown in Logitech's official website. I'm guessing this could be a later version with improvements. I inspected and realized that piece can be easily removed by removing the four screws (highlighted in the last picture). Once removed, the chair can be folded without any issue.The build quality of the chair is great in my opinion. It also looks good and is easy to adjust. The wheel support wiggles slightly when shifting due to its design for easy entry/exit, which I can live with. There's aftermarket reinforcement mod to solve this issue, but they are likely to disable the easy entry/exit feature, so I probably won't consider it.

GREAT BUDGET RIG FOR BELT & LOW DD SETUPS
Bought a G920 years ago and rarely used it because of the hassle with desk mounting, sliding chair, etc. Got back into sim racing and this was my first upgrade…and I must say it’s ALMOST exactly what it says. I’ve used it for hours every day since I got it (several months) and no issues with the quality!PROS1) Well constructed and easy setup2) Folds up easily, very small footprint3) Easy mounting for belt drives & low power DD wheel bases4) Slight flexing but not really noticeable & much better than expected!5) Pedal position adjustment is SO simple, and plenty of distance for tall 6’ plus sizes6) Much more comfortable than expected, no issues with hour long (or more) sessions, relatively easy to get in/out ofCONS1) Biggest complaint, no sliding adjustment for wheel to seat distance. If you want the wheel farther away, you have to lower the whole chair to increase the distance from wheel mount to seating position. Basically, I have to sit F1 style to get the wheel out of my chest (I’m 6’ tall) and it’s still almost too close. I get why you can’t “slide” the chair position (it IS a folding setup after all) but would like to have seen some slide adjustment on the wheel mounting plate at the least. That would have made this almost perfect!CONCLUSIONFor a first entry, budget, small footprint, all-in-one fold up solution, this rig is ALMOST perfect. Craftsmanship is excellent for the price and suprisingly rugged/robust. All mounting hardware was included, and as stated, setup was simple. Adjustability is fine for most, could be better for taller people (only real complaint).As a side note, I just upgraded to my first DD wheelbase (Moza R5 Bundle) and it handles it fine. Was worried it would be too much for the rig but it’s perfectly fine with no more movement than the G920 which wasn’t really noticeable when driving anyway.Highly recommend this setup if you’re looking for an upgrade to your desk mount wheelbase and pedals. Made a HUGE difference in every facet of my driving from lap times to getting away from assists. Paired with the Moza R5 bundle, this rig finally gave me the confidence to jump into online multiplayer competition.If you’re a beginner like me, don’t have several thousand $ to spend, and most importantly, the wife won’t let you have a “permanent” rig…look no further, this is definitely the route to go!

Sturdy, budget friendly, easy to fold and store
Perfect for our occasional GT racing. Using with the Logitech G29 wheel/pedal set. Perfect fit. Build time took approx 30 min. Very light weight, yet surprisingly sturdy. Comfortable for a wide range of sizes from my 10 yr old son to me at 5'7 190 lbs with plenty of room to spare for those taller. Great amount of adjustability and ease to get in and out since the cross bar wheel mount lifts out of the way to enter and exit (with the wheel and everything mounted).Best part, super easy to fold up without removing the wheel or pedals. Very surprisingly compact when folded and light weight. Toss in the closet in 2 minutes.

Tricky Setup, Solid Once Assembled
The instructions for assembly weren't as helpful as I would have liked, but after re-doing 3 or 4 sections, I got it right.Attaching a Logitech G923 wheel and pedals was pretty simple once I figured out how the mount was supposed to work for the wheel. Trickier than I expected, but I got it.The seat folds up nicely with the wheel and pedals, leaving room for VR. It looks nice, and it holds me in it (I am well under the limit, but I'm 6' and about 250lbs.)Quite comfortable, and easy to adjust the distance to the pedals and the angle of the wheel.I would buy it again, but hopefully they can enhance the instructions for newer models.

Great chair that can be folded and tucked away
Just got mine delivered yesterday. It's my first racing sim chair (along with my first racing wheel - Logitech G29) so I don't have anything to compare it to. Overall, the quality is very good, chair is comfy, and it folds easily. Would def recommend to ppl who don't want to have a chair permanently placed in their room.The only feedback I have is about the assembly instructions. It's pictures only so it took me about 1.5 hours to get it fully setup with my wheel and pedals. The reason: the instructions don't tell you nor are they detailed enough to tell you there are certain parts that need to be installed in a certain way.These are:1) How the front feet are attached to the "X" height adjusters. It needs to be installed so that the hole in the pipe is facing upwards; a screw goes into this.2) The front feet also need to be installed the right way so that the bar that slides out to the side is on the left side (this bar gives the chair stability when you 'open' or raise the wheel so you can get in/out of the chair. You'll see a sticker on the tubing for the front and back feet. Both of these should be on the left side of the chair (when sitting in the chair).Side note: having a cordless drill helps to quickly get those allen bolts screwed-in, especially for the wheel and pedals.
