I am about to begin construction of a MAME cocktail cabinet. I've spent nearly four years doing my research, trying to find what works and what doesn't. I have the cabinet kit (four sets of controls, one at each end and two in the middle), and will get all the parts for Christmas.
Thing is, I have no idea what to sit on while playing! I never really saw cocktail cabs in the arcades, so I don't have any memories that would inspire me.
What works best? Chairs, stools, a bench? And what height? I want something that would make playing games comfortable, yet will look good enough that my wife will allow it to stay in the living room.
