Amazon.com Product Description
With its completely renewed design and double-stitched vinyl cover, the black Playseats Evolution gaming seat puts you smack dab in the middle of your favorite racing game. The seat works with almost all racing peripherals on the market and every game console, including the Xbox 360, GameCube, PlayStation2, PCs, and more. More importantly, the chair is notably comfortable while delivering the most realistic racing simulation around. Details include a reinforced steel tubular construction that adds stability and eliminates excess wobble, a non-flammable seat material, and an easy-to-assemble design. Just install a game steering wheel, such as the latest Logitech model, on the middle pole and attach a couple of pedals along the bottom (all sold separately). The setup is also easily adaptable, with multiple adjustment knobs letting you move the wheel and pedals closer or farther, depending on your height. Appropriate for ages 8 and older, the Evolution seat is the perfect accessory for gamers who want to boost their lap times in style.

 An in-home arcade. High quality, easily adjustible, a blast to use March 7, 2010
adr (Washington, DC)
I've owned the playseat evolution for about 4 months now and couldn't be happier. I picked up the white seat with silver frame, as well as the TV stand and gearshift mount, and built a custom platform for it. There's nothing that comes close for in-home driving games. It's easily adjusted for a range of heights (I'm just over 6'1") with the turn of a few knobs. My only complaint on adjustability is that there's no vertical up-down for the steering wheel, it's a 45-degree angle, so raising it up brings it closer to you (and while you can slide the whole steering assembly away from you to compensate, that puts the "steering shaft" closer to the pedals, which can get in the way of your legs/feet at times.
Assembly took a fair amount of time, but wasn't overly complicated. Fit and finish is superb, though the hardware it shipped with was miscounted, so I had to use some of my own. Fasteners are top-quality stainless, the whole unit looks great.
Gran Turismo will never be the same!

Purchased the Playseat in november and love it.
Easy to set up - clear simple instructions.
I use mine with the gt25 so get the gear shift holder.
Not as good as really racing but a close second.
AWESOME! January 22, 2010
R. Botts (Indianapolis, IN)
got this after my wife got me the logitech g27. this thing is the best bar-none! everything is sturdy and rigid and there seems to be no issues at all with torque and wobble. i was concerned because i am in the 330lbs range and read that this thing has a 300lb capacity. this thing is rock solid! i did have to adjust the pedal mount so that it was easier to left foot brake.....still am having trouble finding games that support the clutch on the g27..but that is a different story all together. the only issue i had was with the wife harping at me about spending too much time with the PS3 and PC.....but that also is another story....the seat is ultra comfy and everything is very ergonomic after a little bit of finding out where you like everything. i have found myself using this chair by itself when entertaining large groups of friends....i dont mind sitting on it because it is so comfortable. when i purchased this it was eligible for free shipping...so i scooped it up! if you have the cash to drop it is well worth the investment. it makes the gaming experience so much more enjoyable! all they need to do now is add hydrolics to it to make it a REAL simulator! i do wish that there was a way to run the cables inside the tubing, but there are no other compalints from me! i also added the gearshift holder which bolts on with ease...makes it that much nicer!
Absolutely AMAZING! January 18, 2010
Justin Chenier (Kingston, Ontario Canada)
This seat is AMAZING! After reading all of the reviews on here, trying to decide on which seat I wanted (this one, the classic, or competitor seats). I ordered the Playseats Evolution based on reviews, setup, and price. I took advantage of the FREE 2-day shipping through Amazon Prime, and with a total weight of 55 lbs., I got a sweet deal! Setup takes about 30-minutes, but the seat and frame are solid. This is steel, not flimsy aluminum or tin, steel!
Some reviewers have commented about the adjustment knobs that allow you to adjust the length of the seat from the steering columns and pedals causing scratching and scoring of the paint, and it's true. But this doesn't have any effect on anything other than some slight cosmetic blemishing in an area you can't really see anyway. For me, it's not even an issue.
I attached the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel to this, using the Velcro to hold the pedals in place, and it makes the gaming experience AMAZING! The combined force feedback of the Driving Force GT wheel with the comfort of the chair makes you really feel like you're in the game (my 78" screen with HD projector helps a bit here too). I've used this combo on the PS3 for Nascar '09, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Formula 1 Championship Edition.
A little hint: If you are going to need to adjust the setting for different users (like your kids) use velco-type cable ties to secure the cables from your wheel and pedals to the columns to allow you to move things around. Tying the cables down cleans up the layout and keeps you from getting tangled-up.
