Arcade Stool

I picked up a couple black stools from Joe's Outdoors a few years back.  I think I paid ~$20 each.  These do not rotate and are cheap chromed legs with black vinyl top.  I also got another one that swivels but had a checkered top for the garage.  That one cost a little more ($25 I think).  O'Reilly's sells a similar style with cars on them for ~$50 if you want to see the style.

As for how they work...okay I guess.  They are fine if sitting flat on them.  If I lean against them slightly (sitting on the edge), the seat cuts into my legs a bit.  The rubber feet were not quality and the legs quickly cut through them so I had to put washers at the bottom of legs and replace the feet.  Overall, I'd give this style of stool a 6 for use in a game room.

If someone gets the OP's stools, please post opinions!

I've got some thing similar to drventure, but a more simple design.  I also normally choose to stand, but kids love them because they get eye level to the games.

I have a buncha stools like the one in the link below, for my bar.  30" Cherry stools with bicast leather.  Most of them are backless, but I've also got about 6 with backs.  I prefer the backless.  I also use the same stools for my poker table.  The wood can chip on the foot rests (i think some guys wear cleats!) and they do need to be tightened occasionally with an Allen wrench, but I'm pretty happy with them.  I've had them for maybe 3 years now.

Also, they don't swivel super easily as if there are ball bearings in them, but they can be moved.

I've got a couple of the 24" versions of these: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Folding-Metal-Stool-Black/17165149

I need to pick up a couple more, less than $17 in my local store...

I can relate to that. Sometimes the legs don't always agree though  :lol

I have one of these and really happy with it. http://www.furnishyourhome.co.uk/Dining-Room-Furniture/Bar-Stools/New-York-Modern-Bar-Stools-in-Red.htm
