Stools in the UK
Hi All
Any tips on where I can get a suitable stool to use with my Astro City when it arrives, I guess a genuine Japanese arcade one would be best but guess they are hard to come by?
If not has anyone found anything suitable in the UK?
Thanks

Probably not more than £50 to be honest. Will see if Ikea still has anything. My suround sound amp is doing fine at the moment.Rossyra wrote:Depends how much you wanna spend

Re: Stool / Bench
cant imagine its comfortable ...stick some velour on it .....it'll also help stopping you sliding off it.
<trk>:I remember catching a big fat one and my friend said "throw it back in, that one already tastes like wood"

Re: Stool / Bench
Have this one for all my cabs. Taito stool height, back support and nice foot-rest. Love it.
Got it in a container deal from Japan. Had never seen it before.

Re: Stool / Bench
I stub my toe so hard on that clear stool.
Having recently got 2 used velvet taito stool to compare with my 2 black faux leather taito stools, I think the black ones are worth every penny. The velvet ones do have a little more character, especially because mine are blue and red, which just goes too perfectly with P1 & P2 in most shmups.

Re: Stool / Bench
Yesterday I ordered 2 of these ones in black for my Astro - I hope they are nice - I will post some pictures when they arrive if anyone is interested.

Re: Stool / Bench
That looks pretty nice.
It folds up, or it could double up as a storage box as well.
I've been undecided on one for my cab, I'm just using a tatty fold up at the moment (although that does have some back support). This is cooler though!

Re: Stool / Bench
They just arrived this morning (like 8am, I mean WTF?) and I have to say they are quite Awesome
They are called "STILISTA Cube"
By the way - the Astro is in restauration, so don't ask.

Re: Stool / Bench
Been using Ikea Frosta stools for years. I think I got them not too long after I got my cab, so coming up on about 10 years now. Unfortunately they're not sold in the US anymore for whatever reason, although there are some other companies that sell similar ones for a bit more. Decided to do a little project with them recently, from this:
To this:
One problem I just noticed though (besides a bunch of little screw ups with the paint), damn things are whiter than the cab.
