Stools & Cabinets

[doodude]

Being a working kinda guy, I was shopping at Wal-Mart today, which is where I like to spend my days off & I came across some inexpensive (NO!!!) stools for $9.95 each & some black TV stands that Im going to use for Slot stands @ $19.95 each.
The stools are black metal tubing with padding & sufficient for my pasty white arse.
The stands are the correct height, width & depth with a middle shelf for stuff. However, I dont think Ill apply the faux backing & actually cut & stain a 1/2" X 4" bit of wood for support across the back. Theyre only rated to hold 70lbs but with the extra wood itll work out. Also if I leave the castors off it will be sturdy enough.
I thought about making some cabinets but it would cost me more in time & money so...

Any pics or links for what you bought? Would be interested in seeing what you got.

That is the same as I use , Both of them , I used the standard backing and the wheels , I cut the stool legs of with a pipe cutter 2 1/2 inch shorter and they are correct height at level with the table

doodude,

the 20 stands are the ones i use for my machines already, i have 7 of them and i love them theyre wide and perfect depth, and for 20 you cant go wrong

[doodude]

Yep! Like to spend my afternoons "walkin' the beat down Wal-Mart street".
See, I washes my mullet real good so its kinda fluffy, puts on my best cap with the #3 on it & then rips me a fresh chunk a Red, grabs me a styfoam cup & Im set fer cruisin'!
Now I likes to start off at the drug section to sorta get warmed up & that way I can check to see if'n they got any of the 32% more for free Desenex foot powder in yet, cuz you know, ya just caint have too much desenex!
Then I like to check out the new shampoos &...

Didnt see one for the stools. I havent had time to put them together so I dont know if Ill cut them or not.
Glad to hear they hold up tho'.

[RKnarr01]

they say the only hold 70 lbs but they hold machines fine with tokens. just besure not to push the stands around with the machines on top because then they might nap the sides.

[doodude]

Nap the sides???

[RKnarr01]

that should be snap

[doodude]

Oh, ok. Yeah, thats why I was thinking of foregoing the faux backing & putting in some sort of support.
Ill probably leave the castors off too so if I move it Ill have to move them seperately.
Man, that side snapping conjurs up some horrible visions!

[RKnarr01]

i'd leave the casters on it bring them up to the pefect height, if theyre off the machines seem to low. on back you could attach some plywood

[minnesotabrad]

So 21 inches tall is not too short?

[RKnarr01]

not too short but i liked the viewing better with the added 3 inches.

[slotter]

I'd think 21 inches is too short, but guess it depends on the chair you're using in front of it.

[RKnarr01]

a standard chair is 24inches i believe.

[minnesotabrad]

What's the height of the tables you use slotter?

[Tulsa]

Barstools are 24" or 30". I find it's best to match the two. If your stool is 24" get a stand at that height. I use 30" myself.
