So Ive been working on my basement for what feels like forever...finished the room last night where my cabs were going and moved all of my machines into the basement today..whew what alot of work! I have alot of other shmups and such but this is what i have running in the cabs at the moment

Having them all running is a super blast!! and all i have left to do is hang some posters...and build a stand for my SF2 Pachislo..

The reason I asked is because if you could take the back off, they look exactly like real padded japanese arcade stools. I wonder if the dimensions are the same.

I agree they look like Japaneses stools, my problem is i lean back when i play..alot of people think its strange as most tend to sit up onto the control panel....but hell either way its easier then importing stools

Dude, I'm sure you could do better than that, price, if not quality-wise. $50 for a non-bullet proof (Ikea has nice designs, but they are not as sturdy as others) chair you have to take apart is silly. I'll keep an eye out for a better solution...

generally when it comes to Ikea stuff I would agree with you but the chairs are actually fairly well made
