I bought this back in 2013 to use with my DK2 and Logitech G27 and it still works great.

Nice thing is you can fold it down and put it away easily for when you have people coming over and don't want to look like an ultra-dork. Too bad Logitech discontinued the G27 and now they sell for $800+ on Amazon.
EDIT - It also gives you pretty much the best possible seated experience with Elite: Dangerous by having a Saitek X52 (same model of joystick and very similar throttle in the cockpit unless they changed it). Since it's only designed for a wheel, I got a rectangular wooden board and screwed it into the top part where the wheel is connected in the pictures, that way I can have a joystick/throttle or wheel/gear shifter along with room for a mouse and small wireless keyboard.
I've found that being able to position your controls exactly where they need to be in the virtual space is crucial for immersion in seated experiences, especially after being used to motion controls...it's bad enough not seeing your characters hands move when you take them off the wheel, etc.
I swear I don't sell these or anything, I'm sure you could make something similar if you were gifted enough but I saw a few upvotes so thought the extra info might be helpful.
I never attached the shifter, you can't use it most of the time anyway and the flappypaddles work just as well. Happy with this and my G29 and it's like half the price I paid for it.
I highly recommend the Wheel Stand Pro stand. It’s very well built and very sturdy.
Hey the best rig is the one you have. I would ask a wheelstand pro for Christmas if I were you.
Get a wheelstand pro, they are cheap, foldable and sound like the perfect solution for you. You really need a wheelbase and pedals that are properly fixed.
I'd recommend waiting a bit. I got mine for $140 but it shows $190 right now. I'd also recommend the GT Omega for the G29.
I found this. This with a chair from a junkyard car may work? Would have to screw it to a wood box or something though. Emm not sure.
It's a logitech G29 wheel/pedals and a playseat.
The wheel is about $500. If you buy the optional shifter, that's another $80. A playseat will run you another $500+ depending on what you get.
I have same setup + shifter, but not a playseat, I use this https://www.amazon.ca/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1482809916&sr=1-3&keywords=playseat
Because I don't have room for a dedicated chair, and the stand I linked folds up nicely for storage.
Edit: Amazon tells me the 3 together (my stand + shifter + wheel/pedals) runs in at $690cad.
Is it worth it? I can't really say, depends on how much you like to race. I can say that the pedals/shifter are pretty much worthless without a stand or playseat. Every desk I've ever had was woefully inadequate at keeping attached. Bolting it all into place on a rigid/heavy frame makes a huge difference.
Ok playing Elite Dangerous just need to make some brackets to hold my Saitek X52 pro and next month I'm get one of these to hold my g27 to play project cars. For room scale game I push the chair to side of my room, it's on castors. This gives me a 2x2m play space.
People who have set ups like that and who have the CV1 say different. No more need for monitors or monitor stands. All they need now is this
I highly recommend buying something like this or building it if you have the skills, it has come in really handy for V.R. with both my Saitek X52 pro HOTAS and my Logitech G27...also get a Logitech G27.
I recently picked up this: http://www.amazon.com/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
It's really sturdy and makes it fairly easy to put the entire set up away when not in use.
I've got a wheel stand pro, so I just pick the whole thing up and move it out of the way then move my seat in front of the computer. It's not as heavy as it looks.
Additionally, if I ever feel I need to, like moving and such, this stand folds up, but that's just extra steps for not much space saved (IMO), and I like to keep my setup feeling the same each time I get that racing itch.
I ordered the Logitech G920 and the Wheel Stand Pro V2 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_17y-vb5DGPKXG). The Logitech wheel should ship early October. It has 3 pedals. The wheel has paddle shifters and had been getting a ton of love about the quality and capabilities.
I thought about ordering the gear shift box as the separate add-on but paddle shifting is common with many high end, high performance vehicles and everyone knows that clutch + paddle shifters is much quicker and smoother than using a gear box. As soon as it arrives, I'll give my thorough feedback. Can't wait.
Yea I was looking at this but the middle post looks kind of obnoxious as well as the price. It really does not impress me like the other but is about half the price. But they did said you get what you pay for lol http://www.amazon.com/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG
Could always keep it and use: http://www.amazon.com/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=pd_cp_pc_0
Have a friend that has one that loves it. He hauls it to/from our LAN parties with no issues, pretty light and doesn't take up too much space when collapsed.
Definitely build a mounting solution/cockpit if you have the chance, there or some great DIY guides out there. However, live in an apartment with no access to tools/no construction skills. So i just got on of these http://www.amazon.com/Racing-Steering-Wheelstand-Logitech-Deluxe-Original/dp/B004AYMCRG.
It's pretty stable and folds really compact for storage.
I got the same steering wheel and pedals for about $260 from Amazon. I didn't get that seat, but I got a stand for the wheel/pedal instead for $189 that works well with a chair I have. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AYMCRG

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_KMXXH8P58QTDMMJX7K7Z if you linked this, then yes.
I have this and it gets the job done. Looking to sell it though cause I moved and have room for a playseat challenge/similar set up now
I have this, and if you're spending the scratch on this, you can spend the scratch on a stand, because honestly, it won't be worth it without it IMHO. I have the same one, and tried, it wasn't good. I got this, and love it, not as noisy, and very sturdy.
If that really won't do, try a sturdy Wooden TV tray.. you can usually find them at second hand shops like goodwill, really cheap.
This one should work.

I have exactly same one, but the base plate is specced for Fanatec base. Pedal mount interface is pretty universal. Your Fanatec pedals will strap right there and its also good to reinforce with some zip ties here and there.
This is a great foldable wheel stand you can use. its quite pricy but very convenient and very sturdy as well. I bought since I dont have enough space in my small "battlestation." I just wish i could fit a bigger desk here but room is small.
How about getting some speakers? You can also place your modem and router on a wall shelf to make room for the speakers if necessary
Does the playseat challenge wheel mount wobble? I have a old stand that I used for my old logitech wheel for a while. It is just a single pole and it wobbles a lot. But i think thats jsut becuase its front heavy (its this one https://www.amazon.com/Wheel-Stand-Pro-Compatible-Included/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=wheel+stand+pro&qid=1597075752&s=electronics&sr=1-3 )
This one! It's unquestionably an upgrade from the desk mount, but I'm looking at it as more of a stopgap while I save up for a real chassis
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MmLgFb9BHVAEX
I have the same wheel and I bought the this stand on Amazon i love it and it works better than a desk and a milk crate lol.
Ok.
Stand https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AYMCRG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AJGNEE8DM6AAK&psc=1
Chair https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JFSVKXL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A308TXLYHTTMA5&psc=1
Will the chair fit the stand and will it be low enough for my tv?
OP, I have this. Recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG
Which one have you got? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004AYMCRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_C.hRybHKCKDSX
This is the one I ordered
Yeah, I think I am going to end up returning it and picking this up: https://www.amazon.com/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG.
Ill try it out when it gets here but if it's wobbly or cheaply made it's going back.
What is the "Saw Horse" you are talking about? Something like this?
What kind of wheel and pedals? Some hardware has wheel/pedal stands available, for example:
http://www.amazon.com/Steering-Wheel-Stand-Pro-included/dp/B004AYMCRG
http://www.amazon.com/Wheelstand-Thrustmaster-Wheel-Stand-Pro/dp/B0061EER58
I got the Wheel Stand Pro pretty pricy but meh It's really nice. The company also seems very nice as well.
Why not just get This steering wheel And This Mount?
Consider one of these or one of these first.
Just went back to my Amazon purchase history and I'm kind of surprised I paid so much for the Wheel Stand Pro. It is VERY nice, however and included all tools and hardware. The base combined with the pedals is hefty enough that it stays in place in nearly every situation and the center pole really doesn't get in my way at all, even when using left-foot braking. With everything attached to it you can fold it up into a not too compact package that's at least small enough to throw in a closet. What I find nice is that it consolidates three pain-in-the-ass-to-setup pieces of hardware into something I never have to disassemble when I'm done playing.
I also considered this which seems like a nice compromise at half the price. I went with the more expensive one because I wanted something that I could fold up and move around a lot without worrying about breaking the adjustment hardware. I also like the separate shifter plate on the Wheel Stand Pro because I found it annoying having it on the same plane the wheel is clamped to.
If you're the crafty type you could easily build a bulkier and less elegant stand in an afternoon out of $30 worth of lumber. Google "diy wheel stand" for ideas.
