What height stool do you guys use with your arcade machines?

This is the bar stool I got. Its from Ikea...was cheap and can hold my buddy who weighs over 300lbs...

I got blue cushions from Linens and things before they went under here in Canada.

i like this question cause i havent found a good stool yet.

any of the expensive cushioned ones i get fall apart in a year or so.

the only good stool ive found are the cheap solid oak ones but they hurt your butt after a good game or two or 3.

my stool is 29 inches tall.

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

i had to play with them a little to get the pushbuttons to go in the whole way.. i had to remove two of the screws that attach that top bar, and i had to wrap the threads of the buttons a few times with electrical tape to get a nice tight fit. i dont think i will ever use those pushbuttons, because they were a little beat up.  i pulled them out of an old cabinet...i like to use nice shiny new ones.  i may end up cutting the switch holders off of the bottom to make them fit in there a little better.  i'm just not sure about the colors..i may just end up getting a few new yellow and blue ones so they would match the theme of my cabinet.

either way, i get alot of comments on them when people come over....everyone loves the buttons in the end..it just adds that extra touch.

You can try out the HAPP arcade stools:

I remember these stools from my local arcade so they were one of the first items on the list when I planned my cab. The cushion isn't the best for very long periods of play, but they are still really comfortable. They also have a version with a back rest if you prefer.

I have 4 of those exact stools - 3 I bought locally off of CL and the 4th from someone my wife knows. They are awesome, and arcade authentic too.
