Marada Racing Cockpit Frame Suitable for G25 G27 G29 G920 Without Wheels Pedals and Real Racing Seat Driving Simulator Cockpit with Capacity 220LBS

There is credit to be given for a product that is low-priced and solidly made. That's not a small deal. And coming in at nearly half the cost of similar products on Amazon and elsewhere, this steering wheel stand deserves a lot of credit, particularly since it is remarkably solid and comfortable.The stand is heavy and stable with the wheel attached. The telescoping wheel stand accepted the G29 without issue and included screws and pre-drilled holes ensured that the only give on the wheel or the pedals was that of the telescoping feature, which itself only moved when the hand screws were out. It was easy for a 5'3 wife to switch with her 6'4 husband, both of us finding the height and distance between the pedals and the wheel to be comfortable, even on a low couch. A few strips of included velcro wrapping did the job keeping cables out of the way.Despite its weight, the stand is light enough to move when folded up and does in fact fold up small enough to fit into a closet. I noticed folded it was even somewhat smaller than an all in one Thrustmaster unit already sitting in our closet. It is a touch too big to perhaps be a something you can quickly set up for a few minutes of racing and then put away, a problem exacerbated by the fact that the act of folding it up involved two very long screws, though thankfully no tools are required. Getting it ready takes perhaps 5-10 minutes of tedious placement and assembly. Easy assembly, but tedious.What was not easy was the overall assembly process. The instructions were not particularly instructive, coming across more like puzzle hints. The images might say one thing, for example the left arm will have the top side brace facing in, while the actual assembled product has them facing out. You might think you're missing a screw only to find that it was already placed in a different spot out of the box. To be fair, despite initial appearances, I was not missing any pieces. But for a product with relatively few pieces the assembly was far more difficult than it needed to be, not something to be undertaken by someone with patience issues or an inability to see how things might fit together. An IKEA cabinet this ain't.Other problems become obvious shortly after assembly. For example, the steering wheel attachment point is clearly designed to allow the angle to be adjusted. However doing so requires two of the three included wrenches and looks to be a fussy enough process that unless you really want those few degrees of up/down adjustment it's simply easier to put the thing all the way down and leave it. There's the aforementioned tedium in getting it folded and unfolded. There's the fact that the gear lever plate attaches halfway down the telescoping arms, limiting how close the wheel can get to the pedals. And lastly I was hoping that the whole stand would be useful for more than just the listed steering wheels, such as perhaps as an adjustable laptop desk or at least allow other simulator accessories like a joystick or a yoke. No. The stand won't even work for our old (but functional) Driving Force GT. This is a stand for the listed wheels. No more, no less.Bluntly there are better stands you can purchase, even if you need it to be something that can be easily put away. You should go buy one of those. But if your credit card is still steaming from the $400 steering wheel you need the stand for, this will get the job done. Just be ready for the things you might not get in return.

Overall construction and set up is really nice. The only actual downside is the instructions that come with it are terrible to understand and legit will have you using the long screws when they should be short or putting pieces on backwards. If you have an okay mind for putting stuff together with little instructions it's really not bad. I wouldnt call myself good at just putting things together but I figured it out so I feel like most could too. But I use this with the full g29 steering wheel and am loving it. Not bad at all for a cheaper option on here.

I couldn’t have made this product for even close to $100.00. So, great price. I bought it for flight simulator controls, they fit after a few shim pieces of foam. Inventory pieces pictured in instructions, not accurate. That being said, I wasn’t missing anything. Instructions don’t show that you should use washers, but you have them do use them. They say to use short bolts on the bottom, use the long ones for the standing arms. Use short bolts for the upper items besides the side arm. With main yoke mounted on top, and side throttle quadrant, it still gets pulled over as it’s top heavy. I’ll make due. Great product for the money. Needs work on instructions. Thanks!

Build quality is quite good. The stand itself is kind of primitive but what you'd expect for the price.Assembly was more difficult than it should have been which is why I can't give it a full 5/5. The instructions that came with it are almost useless and a few of the bolts were the wrong length and size. I couldn't install the platform for the stick shift because the included bolts were either wrong or the holes were too small to accept them. I don't have a stick and didn't bother with it, but I suppose they could be drilled out.I bought a seat out of a '05 Scion and built a simple box out of scrap lumber. The wheel stand was easy to set up on the box with just a few extra bits of hardware.

Built very well and sturdy, has options for lots of wheel/shifter/pedal combos (I got my son the Logitech G920). A bit heavy for a kid to move, but he manages.Was delivered quickly, and packaged well. However, as others have commented, the instructions are nearly worthless. Parts not labelled correctly, lengths not right, and no way to tell if you're putting it together right. The good news is, if you look at the parts, you can get a basic idea of how it goes together. Make SURE you watch the YouTube video posted by Marada in the Amazon description and it will go easy and quick.

Nice sturdy steering wheel stand. Compatible with my Logitech Force Feedback Wheel, screws right into the stand. Pretty easy to assemble. Worth the price !!

Very vague instructions which made it hard to put together, and a little more expensive than some of the other versions that were cheaper. Not as high quality as I would have liked for the price.

Pathetic. Designs and instructions ALL WRONG! Holes do not line up, bolts in diagram are completely wrong for the depth that you need. The steel is strong but you cannot put this together and yes I am a mechanic and licensed by trade so this should be comical easy but everything sent in every part of the diagram is wrong don’t waste your money move along to a different seller and product
