What height stool do you guys use with your arcade machines?
protokatie:
Maybe someone should come up with a "conversion standard" table for this sort of thing, ala:
CP is @ 40 inches to stool should be at 30 inches for an upright.
CP height (upright)
--|---|-----|----|----|
| 30 35 40 45
v --|---|-----|----|-----|
*
Tall 15 20 25 30
Medium 20 25 30 35
Short 25 30 35 40
* means your upper body height (spine length), and gives "fake" values for how high your stool should be. Medium would be the "My spine is normal, and my CP is at 40 inched and my stool is at 30 inches".
This is an example of what I would like to see, esp if it can be done empirically.
Short would mean you are small in stature (spine length short).

I don't use a stool......if you're sitting down then how are you going to knee your machine in the guts when it beats you??

i dont always use a stool..i usually just stand. however if you have small children, a stool is required. my 2 year old wants to play all the time, i can put him on a stool and he is at just the right height. then i sit on the other one while he is screwing around playing.

I have one of those too. It is good. I am looking to get more of them of different colors to have a total of about 6 or so.

I have those same stools. They are from Wal-mart. I'm busting out some extra pushbuttons now!

Are those pretty sturdy? I'm a heavy b**ch! :) Going to stop by the local Target today to see if they have them.
