I'm a huge fan of driving and racing games, so as an early Christmas present, my wife bought a Logitech G27 for me.Great wheel, but when I tried to attach it to a fold out table it just flopped around and was too unstable.So I looked at wheel seats, but at $400, that was too much for me and then where to store it.After a little searching on Amazon, I found the Xlerator BigBoy wheel stand.( because I'm quite a bit over weight ) with the G27 adaptor.It came with free shipping and arrived within a week.Assembly took less than an hour and I was up and driving NFS Shift in no time.

I really like the fact that this stand allows you to sit back in your couch or chair and is very adjustable.Most of the other stands I looked at really made you sit up over the wheel, which could not be comfortable for any long period of time.The stand with the G27 is a great combination, it's light enough to move around after use, but sturdy enough to keep everything in place even under heavy driver `input'.The pedals stay in place even when you heal toe or stamp on the brake.The finish stands up to my klutzy movements haven't marred it yet.You might find the need for a USB 2 extension if you are using this on the couch, but Amazon sells a 3 meter version for about $8.

Again, one of the great features about this stand is that it can easily be picked up and stored in the closet. When you pick it up for storage, the foot print is only as large as the pedals since the wheel / shifter bar rise up.It doesn't lock in place, but if you rest the upper end against a wall or other object it will stay in place.

Lastly, the pre and post sales support from Xlerator is wonderful.They are very response and helpful.

Overall, 5 stars for a excellent product and a great value.

Product Description:
The Big Boy Xlerator Wheel Stand is a metal stand that holds video game steering wheels in a comfortable and stable driving position. This stand can be used in your living room with about any sofa or chair. It lifts up and stands on an extra leg that makes it easier to get in and out of your chair. The pedals flip up making it easy to store upright in a corner or closet. The unique design of the Xlerator Wheel Stand mates the steering wheel and the pedals as one unit making it very stable. The pedals sit in a metal pan that holds them steady and has three adjustments for height. Stand is made from 16 gauge steel tubing and sheet metal, welded and powder coated gloss black for a durable lasting finish. Quality rubber leg tips protect furniture. Three position telescoping adjustable neck slider makes it very adjustable for different body sizes and driving styles. Big Boy stand is two inches wider and has three position lap bar leg extentions that adjust lap bar height. Will work with the Logitech Driving Force GT, Driving Force Pro, DriveFX and many other clamp type wheels.

The Xlerator Wheel Stand is the best value on the market for steering wheel stands and will help you take your driving games to the next level. Perfect set up for Playstation 3, Grand Turismo 5 and Xbox 360, Forza Motorsports 3. The Big Boy stand is for people over to 6'2" and 200 lbs. or just want more room under steering wheel, please see the Regular Stand if you are smaller.
