Title: cool stool, nice price
Post by: rlemmon on July 15, 2005, 10:27:59 pm: Hi guys. I know some of us like to get bar stools for our cabs.
I fount a cool one with a flames design for 40% off at amazon
It was only $42.00 including shipping and it looks great in person.

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.

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 :)

Post by: SpamMe on July 16, 2005, 05:01:11 am: Looks an awful lot like these ($26.95/ea)

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.

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

Post by: greywolf22 on July 16, 2005, 06:26:47 pm: 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 :)

Post by: AlanS17 on July 17, 2005, 02:20:48 am: 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!!

Post by: Stingray on July 18, 2005, 11:29:07 am: I used a wooden one for about a year. I finally got a padded one and it's much, much better.

Post by: drunkatuw on July 18, 2005, 04:19:07 pm: 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.

Post by: monkeybomb on July 18, 2005, 04:23:24 pm: 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.
