Marada Aluminum Profile Racing Simulator Cockpit with Seat, Unlimited Adjustment, Fit for Thrustmaster/Fanatec/Moza/Logitech G29 GPro,Sim Frame 8040, Not Include Steering Wheel,Pedals,Handbrake

This sim racing cockpit is awesome! However, it is the most difficult piece of furniture I have ever assembled. Literally everything can be adjusted and that’s what makes it both great and incredibly hard to put together. There’s plenty of leg room and you can slide the pedal board forward or backwards. The seat slides and reclines as well. There’s no wobble when turning hard or braking hard and I’m sure it will work well with high end steering wheels. (Im using logitech) I highly recommend this style of cockpit for anyone serious about sim racing. You can spend a lot more $$$ for GT Omega or something similar but it’s basically the same rig. The worst thing is how difficult it is to assemble and make adjustments, but you can really fine tune it to what you like. The seat is OK quality but the way it’s mounted to the frame, you should be able to put any racing seat on it if you want to upgrade later.They include a metric measuring tape which will help you identify which piece is which when assembling. Very confusing and complicated to put together but with some skill and patience you will be very pleased once it’s all done.Side note, I won 1st place on GT7 sport mode the first time I used the new cockpit. It was a good omen and has definitely improved my driving.

Positives first:Sturdy overallI've worked construction for years, but I can't see how anyone with the slightest amount of "handyness" couldn't follow these instructions...it's going to take you a few hours by yourself If you're not rushing and that's ok...just go into it knowing that.I was able to invert the pedal tray with no additional brackets or parts needed...you would think that would be a feature/selling pointThe seat is comfortable enough to me personally and has plenty of adjustment. But I'm not a huge guy (6' 185lbs) I could see how a person with thicker thighs may find it uncomfortable due to how the sides of the seat (to the right and left of your thighs) are kind of rigidA big plus for me was that it's not so heavy that I can't slide it around on my carpet which is nice because for now I don't have a dedicated triple monitor set up or VR so I'll be sliding it in front of my normal gaming PC set up while racing and back into the corner when I'm playing other types of games. Also the size isn't as big and bulky as I originally thought it was going to be which is nice.ConsThe only real con I can think of is the shifter mount...it's just a little wobbly for my liking. I've already came up with a simple solution for upgrading it though...if you care about or think youll care about a little wiggling while shifting...do yourself a favor and go ahead and spend about $50 and buy 2 pieces of 4020 aluminum about 27" long (about $33...they sell them in black so it'll match perfectly) cut one in half so you'll have two pieces ruffly 13.5 inches and a piece 27"...use the same L brackets they provide (about $15) and basically just make a U shape that goes down the side of your rig like a center console and that will give you a 27" long piece of 4020 to bolt your shifter and handbrake to that should be much more sturdy. I haven't got them material in yet because I just ordered it, but once it get it put on I'll definitely update with the pictures

Purchased for my older child as a Christmas gift in 2024. Assembly took longer and was more tedious than I expected, but it worked out well. Took my time, and I recommend you do to as for some parts it's not intuitive how or in which direction they are supposed to connect until you realize you've done it backwards. The instructions are OK but would be helpful if they included a few more angled views for some steps. Some of the rails are close to each other in length, which can make the early steps a bit confusing, so make sure you have a tape measure handy. The manufacturer's recommendation on tools needed is accurate. I would also recommend using a level. For some steps I found it to be handy to be certain things were aligned correctly. You don't want to get everything really tight until near the end, and the level helped ensure things were in the right place up until that final tightening process.Once the unit is fully assembled, it's very sturdy. My son is early 20's and has had this parked in front of his desk and monitors for a few months now. It has transformed his enjoyment of racing games, in a very positive way.Overall, I found this to be the best all-around value when shopping for entry-level racing sims. It's a huge plus that it comes with a seat, and it's all metal. I'd say my biggest complaint would be the fact instructions are not included for the seat! The trick is to partially disassemble the sliding mount mechanism that the seat is secured to, but I had to figure that out the hard way. I'd say that would be #1 improvement recommendation is improve the instructions. But, the product itself is very good. You get a lot for your money at this price point.
