Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been playing F1 2010 on this thing with a Logitech G27 for a few days now and thought I should write something up since this appears to be a new product. In short, this is a great way to play racing games, but be sure that it fits your setup, as the whole thing is competely non-adjustable, unlike some of the competition (wheelstand pro, etc).
Setup: First off, I've never had a harder time getting anything out of a box than this thing. Once I did get it out, it took about an hour and a half to put together. You'll need a phillips-head screwdriver; everything else is included in the box. The instructions could use a lot of work.
Build: This table is very heavy (which is great) and it feels sturdy and able to take whatever kind of abuse you're going to throw at it. No complaints here.
Use: This is where I have some problems with this stand. First: the whole thing is made of very sturdy wood, but it's completely unadjustable. When you look at an alternative like the pricier Wheelstand Pro, which allows you to change its height and angle and so forth, that makes the Xtension stand a disappointment. It works for my room, where I sit on the edge of my bed to play (I don't have much room), but if you're on a very short couch, this stand may not solve your problems. Second: The bottom of the stand has five little rubber thingies that keep it from sliding around on a hard surface. They're great if your room has oak flooring, but on carpet, I find that the stand slowly slides away from you as you accelerate. Every 10 minutes or so, I need to pause and pull the stand back to where I want it to be. There may be ways of solving this problem at your local home depot, but it would be nice to have included something to this end.
Bottom line: this is way better than a coffee table or any other non-purpose built wheel stand. Though it doesn't have the Wheelstand Pro's adjustable height, it does make up for that by 1. Being cheaper and 2. not having a metal bar between your legs (a big problem on the G25/G27 since the pedals are so close together). I recommend it.
PS: Don't worry about the new seller that ships this. I got it in like two days and it was packaged so well it could probably survive a nuclear holocaust. These guys are pretty legit.
