Short answer, this thing isn't perfect but it's not bad. On hindsight I would not buy it again. If you want details, keep reading.
The shipping packaging was terrible. Basically zero protection. Several places the cardboard was torn away and the finish was scratched. Whoever "pre-assembled" part of this unit secured the bolts so loosely that 5 bolts and 4 nuts were lost due to the holes in the packaging. Luckily, I was able to buy suitable replacements.
To get a good distance between the steering wheel and the pdeals puts the wheel pretty high off the floor. The bad part about this is that it makes the assembled unit with the wheel, pedals and shifter installed on it very unstable. A very light touch makes the whole unit fall to the floor back onto the steering wheel.
The angle the pedals sit feels awkward and I found my feet sliding to toward the floor.
To combat both of those issues, I placed a 4" tall Pelican Case type carrying case under the bottom legs of the stand closest to me. That negated some of the angle and added some stability so the unit wasn't so apt to tip when nudged.

Decent overall, does what it is supposed to. My biggest complaint is the very poor packaging. Product simply folded up in a box, no foam, bubble wrap, or anything. No instructions, no paperwork, and much of the hardware was loose. Would probably have dropped the rating down to a three because of all of this, but the product itself is too good to give that poor of a review on.

Overall a good wheel stand for the Casual Sim Racer.
Cons might be a little small for those over 6' 3" and It is a little heavy but it is all steal.

Just what we needed for the steering wheel and pedals. It solid and doesn't move we love it.

We have not actually used the product, but are testing it. It is a little top-heavy, but it will be easy to counter-balance. Also, I want to put a plug in for Abtivan's support through email. I have had several questions and I believe the longest time to get an email response has been 10 minutes - unheard of.
I am really hoping this product will work for our needs because it is sleek, folded up I hauled it in the truck of my Vette, and is very well engineered.

Terrible packing. No directions. Not worth the price.
