Does anyone know of a good source for those padded swivel stools with the chrome ringed base?

US only.

Thanks!

LOL! Right there with ya!

Happ Controls sells them: http://www.happcontrols.com/home/26151516.htm

There are cheaper ones on e-bay,

example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38201&item=4321298319&rd=1

Cheaper, probably not as nice, but I'd be curious if anybody has any reviews.....

I saw some similar stools at Harbor Freight a couple weeks ago.  I think they were around 30 dollars.

Also, Checker, Pep Boys and AutoZone have some similar ones for about the same price.  Though these have logos (Nascar, Ford, etc) on them- but I think I saw a plain black one.

Also try any general auctions/flea markets in your area.  I passed up a beautiful set of 4 padded red chrome barstools with backs a couple of weeks ago because I simply didn't need them.  I ended up with a groovy 60's style pair (1 good, 1 for parts) for $10 at a local flea market instead.  Much more comfy than the hard-ass wooden one I bought at Target when I got impatient!

I went with bar height deck chairs from Pier One. You can find these on sale from time to time for < $30.

It's nice to be able to lean back and relax when playing game that is 2 player alternating.

I have a pair of the Happs stools. They are nice and I love them, but be warned that they feel really hard if you sit on them for too long.

Yeah, I'll give you a review of those. They are the biggest pieces of crap made. I've seen them in person. Cheap as all hell.

Your too late.

The BEST place is garage sales.  

During a nice Saterday morning... you should be able to find a nice set each week all summer.

I more then doubled my 'collection' this year... I had 2 I got in new mexico a year ago... and I search and found 4 more that exactly match the originals for 2 bucks each.

Took me 2 weeks of searching.

There is a place in Philadelphia call Mr. Barstool. They have every kind of stool you would ever want. And maybe some that you don't want.
