I can’t recommend this seat for the following reasons:

1. The included “seat” that gets mounted to the whole thing is very cheap and not even close to a real car seat. It comes “folded up” and you basically unfold the back section. Because of this, there is a metal rod that runs across right where my backbone hits the chair. Since this is a “cheap” chair, it does not have very good lumbar support and after a few races my back really begins to feel the metal rod.

2. The steering wheel mount is designed to pivot up and down, but it is very hard to get the bolt tight enough to keep it from pivoting up and down when you’re actually using the seat. Occasionally you’ll have to yank up on your wheel to pull this mount back into position.

3. Wheel support & Nickle and Diming. The Xbox 360 racing wheel I purchased with the seat didn’t mount well and I had to hack together a solution using some foam material (craft store) and particle board. Eventually I made it work. Since I bought my seat, I see that Playseats has introduced a 360 wheel mount solution (for extra money) as well as seat rail sliders, stick shift holders, etc. For $300 all of this stuff should be included. Especially with how low quality the seat actually is.

The Xbox 360 pedals work fine w/ the pedal mount if you jam them back under the lip which causes some scuffing and wear to the pedals. The Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel works well with the steering wheel mount but there is no reasonable way to attach the pedals. I don’t believe zip-ties and velcro are an acceptable mounting solution (though PLENTY are included).

4. This may come down to personal taste, but, the between the legs design results in a very flimsy, unstable feel to the whole thing.

As some other reviewers have mentioned, I also wondered if I received a “used” product. My box was very badly damaged (but everything inside was okay).

If you can pick this up for $150-200 and are willing to put some work into it (replacing/fixing the seat rod issue, welding the steering wheel mount so it doesn’t pivot, etc) then it might be a decent value.

The adjustments for different drivers is easy enough and quick. Even my 7 year old can drive in it comfortably. With some extra padding you can make it work for even younger drivers.

This sear is designed for the Logitech G25 wheel. There are holes and screws for the G25 so installing it was super easy. Overall the whole assembly didn’t take very long.

The seat itself is very nice and comfortable and seems solid enough even for my size and weight. It folds in the middle for easy storage, but don’t expect too much, even when folded the whole setup is pretty large.

The driving experience with this seat and the Logitech G25 is just pure joy. I have finally found the right setup and I think this combo gives you a very good price/performance ratio. I have tried much more expensive seats that were in no way better. If you are into race games this is the thing to have!

A few words about accessories. The gear shift holder is a must have for the G25. The seat adjust rails are a waste of money. They don’t work properly but you don’t really need them anyway. Between drivers you’ll have to adjust the pedal distance and steering wheel plate anyway so the gliding seat doesn’t add anything.

The carpet is also not really useful. It’s pretty narrow and I don’t see the use of it if your room has a carpet floor already. If you have hard wood floor (like I do) just use adhesive felt pads and you are all set.

About Me: I typically play drums on hard and have a tendency to play the kit hard.
The regular rock band 2 kit has a tendency to drift on me, which I counter with a rug
and some hand weights.

The Rock Box is solidly constructed, and very easy to transition into drumming with. You can’t
really tell from the description on this, but the lid doesn’t come off, its on hinges that allow
it to slide forward, which i really liked since it kept everything together. One weird item not shown
in the picture is this odd thin pad that velcros to the bottom of the ottoman which is supposedly meant
to form a seat with the lid of the box. I dont see the point of this, and have put the pad in the basement.

Pros:
* Smart design, easy to take out and put away even for a lazy person like myself.
* Lots of room for other equipment, i put my two guitars, mic, mic stand in there
with no problems.
* Leather looks fine. I with they had it in the dark brown like it was originally advertised, but I
will get by with black.
* Special slots for guitars make it super easy to access them.
* No more instrument clutter!!!

Cons:
* This probably needs to be used like a coffee table considering its size, but the top is not
super firm. I’m shopping for a serving tray so that i could put drinks on it without them tipping over.
* Wooden feet could use rubber on the bottom to reduce kit slide and also to not scuff my wood floors.
* That extra seat pad thing is pointless.
* Although my mic stand fit okay since it was a straight pole, there wouldn’t be a way to fit a boom
mic style stand.
* Still need to solve the kick pedal not being attached issue. As long as it is directly in front of
me its fine, but it tends to drift when off to the side. Might buy an after market replacement.
* Will not fit the add-on cymbal kit (rock box lid doesn’t want to close with those attached. I hated
the add-on cymbals anyway, so this was not a problem for me. But if someone came out with add on cymbals that easily detached there is plenty of storage space for them.
