Its taken years to arrive at this simple solution so if anyone is interested I hope it helps you out 
This is my folding or fold-away yet fully adjustable sim rig that has various real world wheels, quick release, adjustable wheel height, tilt angle and pedal position. I use it with an existing armchair with adjustable height and angle that the shifter simply slots in and out off on either the left or the right side. The whole thing is easy to put away in under a minute and its absolutely rock solid with no flex at all because what needs to be really strong is in metal, a triangle is an extremely rigid form and its bolted to a fixed structure. Also its quite heavy so the mass/weight of it prevents any bounce at all on the leg support.
So its really simple, just a metal triangular/A frame hinged from a solid base, wing nuts for wheel tilt angle, a wooden stepped wedge for wheel height and blocks for pedal positions. The speakers and sheet metal panel block the view of your feet for added immersion (especially in F1) and the fold in the pedal plate is a huge improvement when they are tilted. Thats pretty much it. Above all the room remains a projection room and second bedroom so modest budget no problem, small room no problem, your "other half" no problem plus you create some storage space for all that extra crap. Alls good, just the panelling beneath to tidy up and finish
