Arcade1Up Big Buck Hunter Stool vs Retro Bar Stool

Buy the Arcade1Up stool if you want a seat built to match an Arcade1Up cabinet, including a riser. Buy the Retro Bar Stool if you want a swiveling seat with a footrest and a fixed 24-inch height. The Arcade1Up has a padded backless seat, chrome legs and leg extenders that raise it for a cabinet on a riser. The Retro Bar Stool has a steel four-leg frame, vinyl seat, swivel and footrest, but no height adjustment.

  • Choose the Arcade1Up Big Buck Hunter stool if you own an Arcade1Up cabinet, may put it on a riser, and want a padded seat with Mossy Oak graphics that adjusts to either setup.
  • Choose the Retro Bar Stool if you want a swiveling vinyl seat with a footrest at a fixed 24-inch height for arcade play or a home bar.
