" ... Everything was well packed and all the metal plates were separated from one another. ... Everything was in excellent condition and nothing was scratched or dented. ... In fact, I was more than pleased with how additional knobs and set screws are used at all the adjustment points. ... Once everything is tightened down, it is a strong and rigid assembly. ... "

" ... Very strong rig. ... I also bought the seat risers. ... "

" ... Materials feel quality, you definitely get what you pay for. ... "

" ... I had no problem with assembly. ... "

" ... It uses 4 hex screws, but they painted this part assembled so paint is in the sockets of the screws. ... "

" ... High quality, assembly was easy. ... "

" ... I'm very impressed, its fully adjustable with nice large knobs, it doesnt weeble wobble around at all it's totally solid and the center post bar for the wheel is not an issue at all. ... "

" ... The tubing they use is substantial thick walled rigid tubing which gives a lot more stability in the steering column than I thought it would. ... "

" ... My flights can last for a couple of hours, so a comfortable seat was a high priority. ... I will be curious to see how long the seat holds up and stays comfortable. ... "

" ... I'm six foot standard build and there's plenty of room for someone even larger than myself to be comfortable. ... "

" ... Seat is comfortable as well. ... "

" ... Using this with a Logitech G29 and driving feels second nature to the real thing. ... Materials feel very well made, strong metal that feels very firm when tightened in a position that fits your body. ... "

" ... Even the packaging of the seat, frame and labeling of all the screw packets was amazing and detailed!! ... "

" ... The seat & all mounts are very rigid construction which makes the gameplay awesome & realistic! ... "

" ... I also bought the seat risers. ... "

" ... The seat is sturdy, large, and very pleasant to the eye (girlfriend approved!). ... "

" ... I added the OpenWheeler Seat Lift Kit and OpenWheeler Universal Bracket so I could mount a Buttkicker mini LFE subwoofer to my setup. ... I believe the seat lift kit should be included standard since it's so good, but understand the manufacturer is trying to hit a lower price point to compete with other solutions. ... "
