I got these off eBay shipped to the UK from Germany

Have to be careful with the gas lift on them though, bit like ejector seats!

Just posted this in my gameroom/bar thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47410.0), but these stools:

are $128 each at Lowe's right now, very comfortable for the price range (I couldn't stand any of the other stools we found in that price category), swivel, suede/brushed leather type of seats (though probably an artificial fabric in reality). They're discontinued, but if you hunt around at various Lowe's now you can probably still find them. Some Lowe's around me were sold out, others had 12 in stock. To get our 6 stools we ended up buying from 2 different stores.

Cheers!

I don't see these listed on the website, but I was in Wal-Mart yesterday, and they had this stool for $40-something. Just in black though. It's actually super-comfortable - kinda like sitting on a spring. The chair moves up and down, which may or may not suck for gaming, but it certainly wasn't uncomfortable.

They've also got quite a few other options if you're looking for something more subdued, although I'd see if you could pull their "wood" furniture apart and reassemble it with Gorilla Glue to make it last longer (hopefully $:-\$ )

I found some nice single ring chrome legs and black vinyl cusion top swivel top barstools at Sams Club for $20 each. They have been great so far. They don't have any stupid flames or checkers on the top, and they seem like very high quality stools.

I couldn't find them on samsclub.com, so I don't know if you'll have the same stools at your sams club, but it is worth a trip to check (they are a great height and nice and comfy). I will try to snap some pics when I get a chance.

Where do I get art work for stools? Would I go to a sign shop?

I really like these ! Can get them here in Holland too. How about connecting the gas lifts to your cab ? There's a couple of games I can thing off that could control it

Here's a bar stool for anyone considering a "TractorCade" themed project....for that firm controlled ride.

Very happy with my Target red/chrome stools. They were quite reasonably priced, very well made and sturdy and the shipping was quick. (never seen them in a store though) BTW Target online has over 400 matches for bar stools....

For $66 (shipped) you can get 30" chrome double ringed stools here...

I got a pair and paid a few bucks extra for the Floridian Blue tops. Absolutely love them.

They also have 27" stools for a good price.

Sometime, very rarely you get lucky and find what you've been looking for for quite some time. None of the stools I've seen around here in Holland were exactly what I was looking for. I wanted polstered stools with a back and preferably chrome. Most of the stools I've tried didn't offer the sitting comort needed. Most of them didn't have the build quality.

Whilst collecting old-stuff for a fancy fair/garage sale (don't know the right word) for my marching band we got to an older man's house and there they were: one pair of my absolute dream stools ! He offered them for the fair so I tried to act not too excited about them.
So we loaded them up, took them to clubhouse and I bougth them right away....had to negotiate about price a bit since they knew I wanted them very much, but we agreed on

Ah, yeah great, this thread has been a sticky for ages and now that I posted the most FANTASTIC stools-ever, it gets un-stickied

Just letting know the cushions are being refurbished with new (real !) ~~red~~ black leather right now. I'll post pictures of the results as soon as possible....

saint · « **Reply #54 on:** July 13, 2006, 07:24:42 pm »

Worth spending money on good bar stools I think!

Level42 · « **Reply #55 on:** July 14, 2006, 01:05:22 am »

Thanks guys,

Well real furniture leather is simply not cheap. I was lucky that my wife's cousin has a business repairing leather clothing etc. and also he is the official repair workplace for Delsey and Samsonite here in Holland, so he knows his stuff. He did a very nice job and I got a great deal on the price...

Considering how many hours they will be used money VERY well invested IMHO. Those stools are unique, I think they're from around the 70's/80's but they are vere classy. I'm sooo lucky I found these

shardian · « **Reply #56 on:** July 14, 2006, 07:16:28 am »

Since this topic has been brought back up, if you have a Big Lots closeout store around you they might have those flame topped stools for $19 each there. My Big Lots has them.

I have this 70's style stool that I'll be covering in silver-grey gorilla fur. Pics to come...

Yes, I know noone has posted here in a long time, but ...

for anyone in/around Minneapolis, if you get a chance, check out Hockenburgs. Unfortunately, they do not have pictures of the items on their web site (duh), but they have single (about $40) and double (about $48) ringed barstools just like I used to play on at the local arcade. Not too bad of a price (but also probably not the best) if you're local.

Wal-Mart has started carrying some decent bar stools lately, though usually only in the Super Wal-Marts (the regular ones just have one or two styles, supers have like 5-10). I got two regular stools and two fold out ones for about $60 total.

I also found some stylish bar stools from this link:

I got my FLAME STOOLS (as seen above a few responses ago) for $29.99 at Harbor Freight. I am now looking for the same design but in a short stool for a cocktail table.

The funny thing about these is that there is a 'TractorCade' here in Iowa every summer. Only it refers to a Parade of some 300+ Tractors around the countryside covering 3-4 days. http://www.wmtradio.com/cc-common/mainheadlines2.html?feed=119017&article=383544

Those who like the space age hydraulic chairs mentioned above can also get them for as little as $49 at Target! Styles "Elise" and "Maddock" are equally Jetsons for anyone who (like me) has retro-futuristic tendencies.

I got mine at a billiard store for $99 but luckily had a $100 gift card.

Forgot about this thread...

Although they're a little "modern" styled for our house, I'm very happy with these ones I bought from Target a while back. The adjustable height is nice for guests of all sizes.

Maybe you could build a stool. Forum member JONTHEBOMB did but he said it was hard. Like worse than building a cab from scratch. Turned out nice though. Plus he was only 18 when he did it...

These are the barstools I will be ordering shortly for my gameroom. They are fiberglass and chrome plated steel. The fiberglass has the metallic finish like you see on boats. Totally cool at $99 each or $199 for the egg shaped one with the back support. I've only been able to find these in catalogs, but local furniture stores have told me they can order them too. Note the matching bar tables too.

Geo

That's the one I use. I bought it from a yard sale for $10. Comfortable and the height is adjustable.
