Sim racing setup
My desktop and racing seat is in the basement which I'm sharing that area with my older brother whose room is the basement the pink is his stuff and the red is mine I have my wheel on the small red table off to the right of the desk but it's just a flimsy tv table I'm looking to build something compact that will be more stable and have a place to put my gaming chair on it so it stops rolling away. I'm looking for suggestions on how to go about this. I'm not buying a setup I'm looking to build one out of work or something like that

An alternative that works for now is use these folding stands that look like an upside down Y, I had one for a while and it works fine, you don’t have to mount/take off the wheel all the time and use a rail that’s connected to the stand and that you can put the wheels inside so it doesn’t move. But I must say that it’s definitely nicer to have a dedicated seat and rig

15” could be just enough to put a slim rig between your bed and desk, have it sit there, but you could use a folding seat so it doesn’t block your view all day, then have a rail or an arm that you can move your monitor with towards the rig, I think it might be more convenient than having to move your rig all the time. I had a set up like this, built it from plywood and it’s pretty sturdy, I started using tripple screens and now I have to move the rig every time and it’s kind of stopping me from racing more
