I've had this for over 2 weeks now and am to the point where I can move this out of my closet and build up in 7 minutes and about the same amount of time tearing down and storing. The seat, wheel, and pedals altogether weigh well over 50lbs and need to be carried, unless you're on carpet and have a wide enough path to drag. I initially always removed/installed the pedal assembly to reduce carrying weight since it was just 2 screws but found the folding mechanism too convenient to eliminate.
The cam mechanism at the joints is very clever but only provides enough angle adjustment to switch between GT and formula sitting-modes so don't think you can finely adjust the angle of the back and seat. There are 12 detents so you get 30 degrees of adjustment at each joint. There's enough adjustment to get the wheel where you want but not without spending several minutes screwing in/out the wheel and lots of testing.
The clip strap for the front-back legs is also very clever giving you confidence in the legs not collapsing on you in GT-position. I do wish they were velcro like the strap stabilizing and strengthening the steering wheel bracket.
The seat is much wider than I had hoped which makes fitting in my small 1-bedroom apartment a challenge. The widest part is at the cam joints by your knees: it handles the steering wheel bracket, front legs, and left+right plates (which I don't use... curious if I could remove those cams and save a couple of inches in my closet).
I don't have enough room in front of my TV to place the seat so I have this to the side of my couch and angled slightly. This has been fine for several hour-long sessions.
All in all, I highly recommend this seat for those looking for a sim rig that they need to fold up and stow away. The price is great for the quality and strength of the pieces. For some the Playseat Challenge is enough but if you're looking for something more, the F-GT Lite is more than worth the extra cost.
