I wish I could find one with no logo or design (just black).

You could just get one of theese and take the vinyl  off ( it's just stapled) then go to the fabric store and get your self a peice of vinyl (it's pretty cheap) and a staple gun and your good to go.

Those look a lot like the stools that PepBoys sells for $20 pretty often.  If it is, I find them VERY uncomfortable as there is zero padding on the things.  Hopefully these are padded, but if not, I'd just go to PepBoys.  You can almost always get them for $19 or $29 depending on style, and there are often sales too.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

Maybe the stools are fine, and you just need an ass.

You've obviously never sat on the stools they sell at PepBoys.  I don't care how much ass you have, they are NOT comfy  :)

I need lumbar support for those crazy nights when I put in a few hours on the thing.  Who knows a good place to get the stools with the back on them?

Looks an awful lot like these ($26.95/ea)
http://www.servu-online.com/Bar-Stools-Bar-Furniture-Restaurant-Furniture/Swivel-Ring-Metal-Bar-Stools.asp

I plan on ordering from them in the future (though I'll be gettings stools with backrests).

Edit: Shipping (UPS) would have been $25-30 for a pair of similar, slightly heavier, ones.

Since we are talking "stools", here's an alternative that I use:

They have these on sale from time to time for like $29.99 with your choice of seat cover color.

Yup, the stool looks exactly like the one I got at Pep boys for $15, and yes the pep boy stools are not very comfy...I guess it keeps me from playing games for too long  ;) ... well okay maybe not  :)

Anything has got to be better than the wooden stools I've always used. I really don't mind them, though. These look nice, though. Somebody tell when they go up for $15!!

I used a wooden one for about a year. I finally got a padded one and it's much, much better.

Any stool is fine for me. I've got built-in padding.

I wish I knew where I could find stools like these...


These are in my parent's basement, but since I moved out, I had to resort to the $19 Target wooden stools.

I like these, and I'm looking for a knock off.  We have a mod thing going around the house so it works.

That's a common style, but I can't remember off the top of my hear where to find them. I'll look around. I think I've even seen them at Walmart before, though.
