An arcade pedestal is a space-saving alternative to a full arcade cabinet. It gives you the same premium controls and authentic feel without taking up as much room. At Upgrade Arcade, we build our pedestals with real wood, premium components, and true plug-and-play design so you can enjoy a high-quality arcade experience at home.

3/4 Size vs Full Size Arcade Pedestal – Which One Should You Choose?

Choosing between a 3/4 size and full size arcade pedestal depends on your available space and how many players you want to support.

Which one should you buy?

If you have limited space or mostly play with 1–2 people, the 3/4 Size Arcade Pedestal is the better choice. If you have the room and want the most immersive experience with up to 4 players, go with the Full Size Arcade Pedestal.

What Makes Our Arcade Pedestals Different

Not all arcade pedestals are built the same. Here’s what sets Upgrade Arcade pedestals apart:

• Real Wood Construction — We use real wood, not MDF. This gives our pedestals a much more solid feel and better long-term durability.

• Premium Controls — Every pedestal comes with genuine Sanwa joysticks and Japanese-grade LED buttons.

• True Plug & Play — Our pedestals are designed for easy setup. Most customers can have theirs up and running in under an hour.

• Built in Texas — We design, build, and support every pedestal from our shop in Houston, Texas.

• Customization Options — Choose your control layout, button colors, joystick style, and even upgrade to a loaded Mini PC.

• Lifetime Support — We stand behind our products with real, responsive customer support.

Why Choose a Real Wood Arcade Pedestal?

Many arcade pedestals on the market are made with MDF (medium-density fiberboard). While MDF is cheaper to produce, it’s more prone to flexing, warping, and feeling cheap over time. Real wood offers better strength, a more premium feel, and holds up better with regular use.

If you want a pedestal that feels and performs like a real arcade machine instead of a toy, real wood construction makes a noticeable difference.
