I'm 5'10" and the ALU's height isn't bad, I'm fine with a stool for longer sessions but my knees do hit, and I can def feel it in my wrists if I'm standing after a while. I ordered the 3" riser last week after a lot of debating 3 or 5. Sounds like I'll be happy (I just wish BuyStuff would throw up a friggin tracking #). Sounds like it doesn't screw in at all though? Or does it? Thx Game/FlanGenie! ;-) Great vid as always!
@@nevursleep How did you end up liking the 3" riser? I am a couple inches shorter than you, would you suggest still getting a 3" riser for guests and stuff?
Thanks for the review, Mike. I'm setting my Atgames Legend up with my favorite games from CoinopsX now and will set it up at the perfect height next. I'm 6 feet, and while either riser looks good, I'm going to try the 5 inch one, which will hopefully be perfect. Thanks again for the great review, as always! :)
Thanks again for sending out the risers. That's 2 for 2 now because the Pedestal Stand was also awesome. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve
I’ve been shopping around for something similar on eBay. M glad you made this video before I pulled the trigger! I’ll be getting one of these for sure! Thank you!
McB my man! _ That's a nice sleek hidden type style of a riser. I like the form factor. Also cool dance " 0:28 " You have to teach me dance sometime.. hahahahha!!!!
Hi Michael, great review as always. Also thanks for being a friend for a friend. I really appreciate it. You are an awesome good hearted person. If you ever need anything, just let me know. Thanks again.🤗
I'm 5'7" and the ALU feels too short. Controls are low and screen is low for me. Not sure to do the 3" or 5". I want to say the 5" but not sure. Worried that might be to much but the 3" I'm worried I won't notice much of a difference.
Thanks for the video Michael B. I am glad I picked one up on NOD Sunday, I picked up the 3” one, should be perfect. I was really happy with the NOD offer of a free month arcade net. I did not expect that. Looks great too. which riser will you keep the 5” or 3”?
@@Mike-B-Jackson I'm 5'7" and was looking at the 5" riser. Think that would be too high? Stock is way too low! Like you said, you're looking down too much!
I actually ordered this while already having the other one that's been available for a while from another source. This design is superior to it enough that I upgraded my riser.
I'm trying to decide if I should get the 5" or 3" I play using the arcade 1up stools. From just imagining having my hands resting 5" higher it from a sitting on still position it seems like the 5" may be uncomfortable. Feels like the 5" is better is you are doing mostly standing play but 3" better for arcade 1up stools play. Anyone else tried this out ?
Hey man, thanks for the info! Any chance you tried adding two of the risers, stacking the 5" and 3"? If so, was it sturdy? I'm 6'5" and just the 5" riser isn't enough for me, was actually hoping it would be sturdy enough to stack two 5" risers under the cab. Cheers man!
You're timing is perfect, Michael B.! I'm 6 ft 1 in so I ordered the 5 inch riser during the NOD Sale. Very happy to see it will bring the Control Panel height about the same as my iiRcade which is exactly what I'm looking for. Did you take you ALU apart to get it on the Riser or just use your Super GameRoom Strength? I'm thinking of bear hugging it onto the riser myself.
Haha Super Gameroom Strength but it wasn't fun and i had to do it multiple times for the video, hope it was worth the hernia. The 5" riser will work perfectly for you then
Hi Everyone, thanks for checking out the review. let me know if you plan on picking up one of the risers.

I'm 5' 8" and I just purchased at 5" riser. Excited to receive it. Thanks.
good height?
I have the 5' for my 1.1 model. I am 6'1 and it is such an improvement for me. Huge fan.
Awesome review as always MichaelB! Glad you like them!
Thanks again for sending out the risers. That's 2 for 2 now because the Pedestal Stand was also awesome. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve
I just purchased the 5 inch riser yesterday. I like the clean look. Thanks for the post and review.
I’ve been shopping around for something similar on eBay. M glad you made this video before I pulled the trigger! I’ll be getting one of these for sure! Thank you!
My 5” riser is on the way! Thx for the review
Thanks Mike! Just snagged the 5" for my recent ALU score!

Haha feel free to sign up to my online courses
Thanks again for the video and review. I just placed my order for the 5 inch riser!
Hi Michael, great review as always. Also thanks for being a friend for a friend. I really appreciate it. You are an awesome good hearted person. If you ever need anything, just let me know. Thanks again.🤗
Thanks for the review. Ordering the 3" to give me a more uniform height with my 1up and commercial arcade machines.
Great review and thanks for showing. Im really digging this and looks like they did a fantastic job. Blends in very well.
Did not know I needed this until I saw your video.
Same. I didn't know i needed it until I had them. Hope the video helped
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie the side by side shot of the ALU on the 5” riser next to the iiRcade is what hooked me. Got one on the way now. Thanks Mike B.
@@dillonjay6041 Same here Dillon, I ordered the 5 inch riser during NOD Sale.
I bought the 5” and it’s awesome - good quality and looks nice! Buy Stuff Store is great! 👍🏻 🇨🇦 👍🏻
Love the riser, 5" for my 6'5" frame, completed my ALU Arrrrrrrcade!
just bought the 5 inch thanks for the review!
follow up- already here and love it. very stable fits great and a must have. I'm 5'8 and brings the screen close to eye level. 5/5
Thanks for sharing this. Now, I wish I'd seen this one first. I ordered a different riser, which doesn't look quite as nice as this one.
Thanks for the review. We are about the same height, so I think I’ll go with the 3” too.
I'm 5'7" and the ALU feels too short. Controls are low and screen is low for me. Not sure to do the 3" or 5". I want to say the 5" but not sure. Worried that might be to much but the 3" I'm worried I won't notice much of a difference.
I wish iI had seen these before I purchased the one I have. The one I purchased doesnt have the chrome trim!! These look so good with the cab.
Thanks Michael but I already installed my 3” riser and I loveeee it . It relieves the back ache for leaning forward
That's awesome. What a difference just a few inches makes right?
@@MichaelBtheGameGenie That’s what she said
Did you ever get a chance use a stool with the 5" riser? If so, how does it compare to the 3" riser and a stool?
Thanks for the video Michael B. I am glad I picked one up on NOD Sunday, I picked up the 3” one, should be perfect. I was really happy with the NOD offer of a free month arcade net. I did not expect that. Looks great too. which riser will you keep the 5” or 3”?
at 5 ft 7 in, I'm a shorty so I don't need any risers, lol.
Haha Well that's good man. I thought you were taller for some reason. Next time il will climb up on the cab just for you
I’m 5’7 and I got the 3”. It’s much better. You’re looking down too much without it. Though the table is fine.
Same here but I need this
Yes the benefits of being a shorty saves us money 😂

Wow surprised how high the iiracade is? They look so small next to Atgames. They will be perfect for the new 3/4 cabs coming.
I’m 5,6” and the 3 inch riser was perfect for me.
Good review. Thanks Michael B. On another note, do you know if The Brick has plans to sell the Atari 4 Player Pong Table?
Thanks Steve. I'm not sure, when Arlene asked if we were interested in Pong we kind of buried it so i don't know if she ordered any

@@MichaelBtheGameGenie Thanks Michael B. I'll be careful, have to protect the plumbing lol
Now got me thinking show I spending more money, hmmmmm
It does make a big difference
Great review but YIKES these are expensive. $79 before tax and shipping for both the 3” and 5” versions? Seems a bit high to me.
a bit? though it wont look as nice better off getting a long 3 or 5 inch piece of wood to put under it likely much cheaper.
Wow... it seems that Arcade1UP is REALY getting some steep competition already...
Sam’s Club was asking for a $50 handling fee. It’s going to be waved with a $45 join-the-club fee. I’ll try Walmart.
