Best barstool

[nulogix]

Anyone find some cool barstools? Looking to add some, more than just plain. Got the namco pacman one. Someone made a custom Flynn's Arcade one. That's pretty cool. A Litwak's stool would be cool.

I was kind of eyeballing one of these.

Those are too tall for my Atari AD Cocktail.

I'm trying to find the right height so the wrists don't get fatigued, and my neck doesn't hurt.

I'm interested in a stool for Atari cocktails as well.

I find that the best barstool is the one closest to the cash register.
That way you're more apt to get the servers attention and not be left sitting there without a drink.

These are the ones I use for my Millipede. They have worked out very nicely and their heavy duty.

I generally don't like bar stools but if I had to have one. It would be big and wide with a plug in cup cooler to keep my drink cold. A wide back that I can lean out a bit for when I am playing a bit too long.

I think Fritzle did a write up somewhere on bar stools a few years ago...

Arcade1up has started releasing bar stools that are adjustable to two heights for cocktails and uprights. I got the Galaga one and am pleased with it.

Here is the link for Walmart which is out of stock at the moment: https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/789509249

Gamestop has it in stock, but $10 more: https://www.gamestop.com/toys-colle...roducts/galaga-adjustable-stool/11096238.html

I have 4 of these. Adjustable and comfortable.

I have a pair of the same model in dark gray with silver micro glitter. Nice and springy.

I just bought these

I like the height range and the seats look nice and cushion-ee. We will see.

I almost got these pacman ones, but the reviews are pretty poor and they seem expensive for what they are. So I decided to pass. I also wasn't sure that 19" would be the "perfect" height for everyone. I like the idea of adjustable stools.

If these went a bit higher, I think I would have gotten them. They look really sharp I think.

And these look very similar to the ones I got. Someone may like them too. They are being marketed as being for arcade games, but I think they are really not manufactured as such.

Just some suggestions that might help someone looking for stools for their cocktail arcade game.

cant recommend these things enough..

basically a weighted stool on a round base so you can move around and it moves with you.

If you have a screwed up back like myself these things are great.

I cant sit on a normal stool for any length of time without having issues.. this I can.

How do you use this while playing a video game? Do you balance at the top or lean against the game?

you sit on it.

I dont know what you mean.. it has a heavy round base so it wont tip over.

You sit on it like a regular stool but it moves so you can shift your weight and move more naturally and not be stuck in one position.

For me if I sit too long I can lean back in this and stretch out my back, you can rock it back and forth, to the side, its a circle so it moves any direction.

The description makes it seem like you have to lean or it will fall over if you sat at the top, like it's meant to always be at an angle.

Its weighted like a top so its bottom heavy.. you really would have to try pretty hard to knock it over.

I weigh 195 lbs and have never knocked it over.
