Playseat® Air Force

I use this for playing DCS in VR and it is perfect. The Warthog HOTAS fit well with the velcro and does not move. Seems like good quality.

First off, I do like this chair. It is comfortable to sit in and it works exactly as you would expect, however, it has some quality control issues with the pieces, as some others have mentioned, there are issues with the holes aligning on some parts. They seem to have attempted to rectify this by making the holes double width which allows them to slide, unfortunately, this has the impact that you have to leave the bolts somewhat loose until it is fully assembled to be able to attach things. The instructions are interesting as they tell you to use a particular bolt at one point that you do not get (there is a different one that you do get that is to be used), there is an additional plate for the side tables that isn't even mentioned in the instructions. The Allen key/Allen wrench it comes with was slightly too big for the holes in the bolts so I had to use my own for them. The central joystick bit has several holes that look like they can be used for mounting, however, they will not fit any of the most common sticks as most of them are blocked below by the post and cannot be used and they are in positions that don't fit a lot of sticks. This was very annoying to me as I have the joystick that is featured in the main image of the product, so I wrongfully assumed it would be able to be bolted. They do provide a bunch of velcro strips that I currently use.The Playseat company themselves aren't very responsive to emails, I emailed them asking if I could purchase an additional side table as I have both of mine currently on a single side for a throttle and a keypad, they asked for my order number and once I told them I purchased it here they never bothered to respond to me again, even after a few chase emails I sent. That alone as knocked a star off this as I imagine they'd be the same if you were contacting about an issue.

The parts and pieces appear to be very sturdy, and when I get it assembled will likely be a great chair. Mine came missing hardware, contacted Playseat and was told to contact the seller, as if a retailer keeps hardware around just in case a manufacturer forgets to put it in the box. Customer service couldn't even give me the spec on the missing bolts so I can find them easily to buy separately. Trying to find the hardware locally now.UPDATE: Found hardware locally and assembled the chair. Comfort, quality and utility are definitely good. Increasing rating to 4 stars. Would be 5, for the missing hardware.

very comfortable. easy to assemble. will have to modify the control platforms on either side of the seat if you have the WartHog H.O.T.A.S. flight control set.

Do not buy came in with several broken parts, missing pieces, previously used pieces. All bad, I spent way to much money to be sent a product like this, I am in awe.

The first one I ordered had broken, scratched and mangled parts. I returned it for another. The second one was in good condition over all. The instruction manual had errors in it. One of the large hex bolts was missing the hex to be able to use a wrench on it. The center mounted poll has a stop on the bottom bracket. So, there's no way to adjust having a three foot poll sticking out in front of you. The mount that supposed to slide over the poll to hold a center controller wouldn't slide past the tensioner. The whole chair sits too low to the floor, with no way of adjusting the height. The width of the chair isn't adequate for an adult.

Took gaming to a whole new level!

Several pieces had threaded holes in them for assembly. About half of those holes were drilled at an angle instead of straight through. This made assembly much more difficult than it needed to be. Once I finally got it assembled, the chair was crooked, leaning to one side. Not noticeable when you sat down. Both the left and right hand slotted mount plates were crooked when assembled. Even when the side mounts were all the way up, it was still too low for a joystick and it's not at a comfortable angle if you mounted it on the side. The center mount on the chair side is solid. But the adjustable plastic mount side barely worked. The seat is VERY firm but it's comfortable. It does NOT recline. It has maybe 5 positions starting from about 90 degrees from the seat and then forward. If this seat was $2-300 it would be worth dealing with SOME of these gripes. But at $500 it's not worth it. To me at least. I am returning it.
