They are called "STILISTA Cube"

I managed to pick up one of these for under a tenner, only problem was ... the colour;

I don't care though as they fold up in 5 seconds and get put out of the way when I'm done.

IKea seems a popular choice. I also use a couple of stools £12 each.

Height comparisons against the 48cm Taito stools. Side by side with a normal 43cm Japanese arcade stool, and against an Egret 3.

Much better height for a Pony 25 too.

I don’t know where I’ve seen it but someone here uses a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona stool for one of his cabs. These look totally rad but if you go for an original you’re basically sitting on triple the value of an average candy cab. :cry:

Candy Cabinet Stools?

Post by GriswaldoBS »

Anyone know of a good source for these or anything that works in the US? I don't need official Taito stools or anything (of course I wouldn't mind if the price is right) like that but looking to get four stools for my two cabinets. Unsure what would work, I mean I'd take anything from Ikea if it's the right height and comfortable if you get my drift :). Thanks.

Rats, I guess others have the same issue I have (or maybe not). Was hoping this would have some replies. I'll keep looking!

Try the search function. If I remember correctly there are several threads about this topic.

Thanks I did do a search before hand, I always try to! I did not see that thread when searching or 'Candy Cabinet stools'. I'll work on my search skills!

Unfortunately like other similar threads most of the Ikea stuff is no longer sold from them =/.

Also thanks that thread is helpful because something like this seems perfect:
