Title: Cocktail Seating?
Post by: VespaGuy on September 11, 2008, 09:08:46 pm: Does anyone have any suggestions for good seating for a cocktail style arcade? I finally finished building a 2-player cocktail cabinet, and I've currently been using a two different office-type desk chairs for each side. I'd like to find something small, like a low stool or a small padded chair.

Does anyone have any suggestions for game-room style furniture?

Thanks

Got this lead from one of the projects here and the guy said they were a good size for a typical cocktail. Small enough to keep out of the way, height adjustable, swivel, and they have casters.

Thanks! That's a great idea, and definately one of the directions I was leaning towards. I like the fact that it is adjustable and it swivels... I may grab a pair of these.
