Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (Black with Silver) Top Quality

I am a 40 year old female who still loves video games, but more specifically...I love racing games, Gran Turismo being my all time favorite.
I use the Logitech Force Feedback steering wheel but had previously used it mounted to a small table while sitting in a dining room chair. That set up actually caused allot of discomfort and fatigue when I wanted to play longer. My braking foot needed to hover in a very uncomfortable position and my husband rarely played with me for that reason. Your legs just ached. Try as I may it was very difficult to mount/place everything at just the right distance and angle for any long term fun.
When the Evolution Seat went on sale for $239 thru Amazon with free shipping I couldn't resist.
Quality and comfort are both excellent and of course it makes racing even more "simulator like" than before.
The bottom of the chair (it's metal frame) is smooth and slides easily and damage free across my living room carpet, which is fairly important as it's a little too heavy to lift and move single handed. If you needed to store it you do have the option of folding the seats back down after removing the pins. You can also remove the steering and foot mounts from the center crossbar to shorten. Luckily I have just the spot for it as I do not think I would care to make such an effort.
Next is comfort...no complaints here! You can adjust the foot pedals and the steering wheel to just the right distance meaning no more foot fatigue or discomfort in my arms from overly bent elbows. The chair itself is extremely comfortable and I am 6' tall and actually eat. :)
I can easily sit for 2 hours and never feel the least bit uncomfortable. The seats comfort is equal to that of my Honda and exceeds that of my Ford.
If you really enjoy using a wheel with racing games then this is certain to enhance your enjoyment and realism. If you rarely play racing games with much enthusiasm then this will probably end up collecting dust and taking up valuable floor space, which leads me to measurements.
From the seats floor frame to the end of the pedal mounting plate is roughly 50" (this is adjustable for your height). The chairs height from floor to top (headrest) is 40" (this is stationary though the seated can fold forward). The top of the seats cushion is approximately 12" off of the ground, which places this at an ideal seating height to view my LCD TV which is placed on a TV stand. At it's widest point it is about 20".
For a little more fun I added the Buttkicker gamer to the chair. In order to mount it I made a metal X frame from 2" wide, 1/8" thick flat steel which I sandwich and bolted in between the seat and it's floor frame. In the center of that X frame I welded a 3/4" OD steel pipe with a threaded end. I of course used the pipe for the Buttkicker's mount. I also installed a metal cap to the threaded end of the pipe to keep the Buttkicker from vibrating down and off of the pipe. This is a convenient way to mount the Buttkicker and it distributes the vibrations well WITHOUT any changes or alterations to the chair or Buttkicker themselves. Now there is force feedback in both the steering wheel and the chair itself.
You get the idea I kinda like this stuff ah? :) Get more detail about Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (Black with Silver).
