Don’t buy this through Amazon
I was reluctant to buy this because it is shipped from the UK. After talking to an Amazon representative I was assured I could return it to a US Amazon return center. Now that I am trying to return it they are requiring shipment to the UK. The cost of doing so is way more than the item costs, so effectively all sales are final.

Very well designed and made
Materials used and surface finish are very good. Fairly easy to assemble. You get build instructions, though the drawings are a bit small, but you can still make out enough detail to see how the individual components go together. All the fasteners you need are there and packed in a way that helps you know what goes where. You even get the tools you’ll need for assembly.Once assembled it’s very sturdy and a bit on the heavy side, especially after fitting the racing wheel, pedals and gear shift.Recommendation: purchase at least eight M5 X 20 Button Head (or Socket Head) Machined Cap Screws to secure your racing wheel, etc. to the stand (that is if you are to assemble a Logitech G29 or G920 Racing Wheel. I don’t know what size screws are required for other racing wheels).

Impossible to assemble without drilling new holes
The holes on the platform that holds up the wheel has two holes on each side with nuts welded to it, they are offset by a few millimetres making it impossible to insert the screw that is supposed to hold it in place.This can be resolved by widening slots in the arms that the platform should be secured to, though of course this isn't something you should do as a customer..The arms for adjusting height also don't have any slots to properly secure themselves into, instead, you're screwing it down into the bare metal of the arm tube, this will scratch the surface of it so if you adjust the height beyond few inches this scratched part will be visible.Also not very secure, it is definitely possible to just push the arms down with some force.The angle adjustment is a bit lacking with only 2 settings on it (+3rd for securing while folded up), pedal base is welded still so the angle of it cannot be adjusted, there are no cable routing conduits nor anchor points for zipties so managing cables is a nightmare.Aside from that, it seems like it would work fine, plenty of weight to keep it in place and stable and looks decent with the black powder-coat.Unfortunately, can't say anything else positive about this stand.

X-Rocker XR is Terrible. Don't bother.
Terrible Look elsewhere.1. For £70 I at least expect the predrilled holes to be aligned. It's impossible to get the holes on the horizontal wheel mounting plate to align with those on the vertical supports. The mounting plate cannot be slid forward far enough, due to poor design/quality control, which leaves all 4 holes misaligned by 2mm.2. The knobs that are used to secure the telescopic arms rely on friction alone. Paint was stripped from the frame upon first use.3. Isn't really suitable for a Logitech G920. Of the foot paddles 6 mounting holes, only 2 will be usable with the predrilled base plate.In the end I took a hacksaw to my frame in order to make it parts fit.The box this came in is emblazoned with "do not return to store, contact support instead". I can see why the manufacturer felt the need to write this. Buyer beware.

AVOID!! Major issue with stand and zero customer service.
The stand was relatively straight forward and appeared to be quite decent... until I got to the wheel base plate. The holes for the base plate and the uprights did not line up and so was impossible to thread the bolts through. So I phoned customer services as advised on the box but they just direct to contact through the website so I registered the problem and still after 5 days I still had no response or even an acknowledgement. So upon realising XRockers customer service is pretty much non existent I took matters into my own hands and modified the stand with a metal file to get the bolts to fit through the holes. Not really what you should have to do but at least I have got it useable.I can't recommend this product I'd spend your money on something else. You maybe lucky and not have this issue but if you do (or any other) you won't get any help to rectify the problem. Avoid!!

NO QUALITY CONTROL?????
Waited 2 days for this to arrive. When unpacking I noticed it had 2 x left arms instead of one left and one right. Unable to assemble. Returned and not very happy.
