This is the perfect solution for the casual racer that wants to set up a rig in front of their TV on occasions, or for the hardcore iRacers like me that just don't want to have a dedicated rig due to space concerns.
This is the perfect solution and almost gives a more immersive feel as the vibration from my g27 can be felt through the entire rig.
As much as there a a bunch of ways it's less than perfect, it's one of a kind and a wonderful solution that makes

The guys at Playseat actually did a pretty good job designing this seat considering the value you get for it
Very clever and simple design...think "less is more".-Fairly comfortable even for a big guy.-My T300RS fits perfectly and the included hardware works great for mounting it
But the design needs work, and the seat perhaps made a bit wider for better comfort
You can tell that this design was well thought out, and there was a great deal of effort put I to the product

Getting in is a bit tricky as I can't lift my wheel out of the way completely due to my L-shaped desk, but once in place, and after a quick... umm... adjustment... this is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever used.

Finally, the pedal stand works as expected and is a simple and elegant solution for keeping the pedals where you want them
One work around for this is to get the pedals adjusted how you like, and then mark the bars with pencil so that you can see where to lock the sliders down
This worked like a charm, and the pedals are extremely stable
Here are my thoughts:Pros:-Perfect racing seat for the living room if you don't have a "man cave" as it can fold up and easily be tucked away.-Quality materials and build
The pedal rig likes to shift off center after so many packs/unpacks
The Challenge is perfect for my apartment given its low weight and ability to fold up for storage
The Challenge is very easy to fold up and store away in a closet or against a wall somewhere.

I highly recommend the challenge for those who have a confined space to race in
While the Challenge isn't quite as nice as Playseat's more substantial offerings it does put you in a far better driving position than any other option I looked at
The fabric is very nice and the pedal setup works very well

The metal that the seat frame is made out of feels sturdy, and the fabric that the actual seat is made out of feels very well made and is super comfortable

After Christmas I decided to make the leap and try to get a good racing setup for the PS3 that I would use with Gran Turismo and the F1 games I have

Other than that however, the chair works as it should
As advertised, very good service.

I am still trying to figure out a good way to set all of that up.
Only issue is the way the wheel pitches up and down
So, while the seat provides a sturdy and comfortable way to drive my sim racer, the poor documentation, poor support, and limited flexibility make it less than the 5 star experience I was hoping for
If there is any critique, I would have liked a more solid way of folding the pedals or at least a longer strap for it
Also the Velcro bands that tie the chair together when in it's collapsed state
People on gaming forums and people who own dedicated cockpit rigs tend to laugh at it and call it a glorified lawn chair, but it really is a well-built, well-thought out unit.
This chair is very, very comfortable once you've got it set up how you like

Don't let the forum jokers and non-believers sway you, the Playseat Challenge is FAR from glorified lawn-chair!
