I had a few queries about this so though I will write a quick review post.

Recently I got couple of arcade stools from Mo at Videotronics. I wanted something better then Ikea or other similar places but was not ready to fork out on Taito ones (already have few). The price was right, so I pulled the plug


The stools arrive nicely packed and there are two in the box.

Some assembly is required. One has to screw the cushion to the base and put rubber feat on. Everything is provided, even a small screwdriver.

Hard to capture it on the photo but there is a faint chalk cross to help with alignment.

Once done they are quite sturdy and comfortable.

Here are the comparison photos. One on the left is original Taito and one on the right is the one from Mo. The cushion is thicker what is compensated by lower frame to achieve same height. Because of that one can fall deeper into the seat but I don’t think it make much difference.

Overall, I now prefer them to the Taito one on longer sessions (due to cushion being softer). Quality is very good and my only remark is that they do not look as sleek as the original ones.

In my opinion for this price you cannot go wrong and would highly recommend them.

Great write up, guide & review (y)
I recently got a pair of the 43cm stools from Mo as my Namco Noir/Grigio & Sega Lindy cab sit slightly lower & I'm also happy with them I've never had any proper JPN versions so nothing to compare them with but they sure are comfy for my fat bum.

They also work great together to make a bench.
