"Not COMPATABILE with G25 wheel/pedal set" 2009-12-16
By Tommy Racer (Minnesota)
This was by far the least expensive seat available. It's comfortable enough, but I think the frame that the wheel attaches to needs to be stiffer.
I have the G25 Logitech wheel. The foot pedal base is TOO LARGE to properly fit the angled platform that is built in to this gaming seat. I have had to 'rig' it up with other materials so that it can work. Also, unless you are going to keep the seat out all the time near your gaming system, it's awfully cumbersome to move around.
"nice seat shame about the rest" 2009-12-11
By AZ Mutley (Tempe AZ)
I spent more time trying to get my Logitech steering wheel to mount to the sub-millimeter thick plate they provide
than the whole assembly.. I managed to find afew pieces of spare timber in my garage and create a sandwich of
wood to allow the generous Logitech clamps to work on the wafer thin shelf provided.
In the "instruction" photo montage they provide they seem to think you can Velcro the wheel in place. Not this wheel my Chinese friends.
The foot pedals are similarly "secured".. maybe the engineers at Play seats need to look at a real Logitech wheel and pedals and not some
knock off ?
Any way, all said and done I got the thing set up.. and I have to agree the support for the wheel does sway left and right when I am engrossed in racing.
It's an OK seat for the money but the rest of it does not work too well.
I'll probably keep the seat as is and build a frame from ply wood when I get time..
At 99$ it would be worth it but for $199.. hmm.. not so sure.
"classic, inexpensive, semi-comfortable" 2009-11-10
By W. Nelson (CT)
I enjoy my playseat classic after figuring out how to fasten my logitec g25 pedals and wheel to it securely. I ordered the shifter mount and it required me to drill a hole into the side but works great now. The optional seat slider is nice but a pain to put together. I haven't played for longer than a few hours, the seat itself is pretty comfortable but not like a car seat. I store it in 2 sections behind my couch. Its light enough to lift, and easily connected back together. I do recommend this product and the others I've mentioned.
"I think it works fine with no issue's" 2009-10-29

We bought 2 of these chairs, I think they work fine, they are pretty stable, everything mounts fine and stays put. The chairs after 3 hours of racing still feel comfortable. I think for the price they are worth it.
"Great if you are setup correctly" 2009-10-13
By Tapasvi Moturu (Gainesville, FL)
There are a few pitfalls with the classic version of this model that have been fixed on the evolution version, but I don think the price is worth it.
This is probably the cheapest seat out there price wise. I am quite tall 6ft3inches and had some trouble with long hours as the back was not supported in the right places.
I used the in built seat cushion to convert it into a lumbar support.
No more back aches after that.
There is also a slight documentation issue with the setup of the seat. connecting the Pedals to the actual set is done through a bar.
I often found this to be slipping hwile driving until I found that the manufacturer has given screws for fitting the rest of the Seat but a different system that requires a screwdriver to turn a socket which fits the pedals base to the seat tightly.
Did not have any issue with that. This is not documented in the manual and got me frustrated very quickly.
The front forks are also not too long hence the steering column can move/tilt a little during intense play
I fixed that by attaching a plywood sheet to the bottom.
All in all a satisfactory product for the price you are paying.
