Five Star Reviews: | 55% Great Stool. December 27, 2016 Very sturdy stool. I like that you can fold it easily and take it with you if needed. I weight 140 pounds and I felt safe sitting on it without fearing that it would collapse on me. It also has a small button that locks in place to avoid it from collapsing. Good quality. Great value for a solid bench November 16, 2016 Great value for a bench. It looks good and feels solid, yet it's lightweight. The instructions fail to show you how to adjust the height, but it's fairly easy to figure out. You'll need a few wrenches, and there are only three fixed heights available. Perfect Bench for my Son June 19, 2016 The bench is great for my 9 year old and is a great improvement from his ikea chair that he used previously.It's well crafted, super simple to use and is collapsible. Exactly what I ordered/expected; we love it! Bought for our Clavinova. March 23, 2015 Practically perfect in every way. Price. Size. Shipping. Packaging. No problem, is exactly what we expected and works perfectly.Folds flat.Height is adjustable. | 62% Nice piano bench for the August 26, 2017 I wasn’t looking for a cheap but solid piano bench and this fit the bill perfectly. Arrived in great condition and assembled easily (way easier than most furniture; just attach the legs) storage space is a nice feature and it is moderately comfortable; what you’d expect for the price. The bottom of the storage is a little thin bud should hold up to a lite load of sheet music and books. I am a smaller guy (165lbs) and feel it would be pretty narrow for two people to do a duet but it’s great for solo. Overall I am pleased with the quality of product and the price i paid Sturdy and an excellent value August 19, 2017 For an affordable piano bench, the quality is surprising. The legs were somewhat difficult to tighten, but once everything was snug, it turned out to be a high value mainstay for our music room. Highly recommended. A pretty good piano bench for the money April 4, 2017 A pretty good piano bench for the money. So far, I haven't had any issues with it other than an occasional tightening. This was a beautiful, solid January 10, 2016 This was a beautiful, solid, and chic new adition to our music room. It fit perfectly under our piano, there was a good amount of storage space inside and it came quickly. It has kids bouncing on it all day long and it hadn't shown any signs of damage after over 2 months at least. The color is beautiful and works well with our black piano. I would buy this again. Appears to be good quality. Great appeal and sturdy August 26, 2015 Exactly what I was looking for! Appears to be good quality. Great appeal and sturdy. Easy to assemble and love that it opens. Great purchase. Would recommend. Very very nice. High gloss paint! Just spray with vinegar March 25, 2015 It's really nice. Although it came smelling of chemicals so I sprayed it with vinegar mixed with soap & water. & it smells normal. After you spray with vinegar you can use a regular spray & or an air freshener. Vinegar can be used on faux leather. This chair is much nicer than expected!!! |
Four Star Reviews: | 26% Solid for its price and its comfortable to sit on for extended periods of time which ... May 11, 2017 Solid for its price and its comfortable to sit on for extended periods of time which is important to me as I tend to do things in long sessions. It feels rather sturdy in my opinion. Sturdy and stable February 6, 2016 Purchased this for my daughter to use at her electronic piano. Very sturdy, sufficiently adjustable, good price. She uses it and it's very stable, as she squirms a lot but it stays put. Great for a "second" seating option December 10, 2015 It's not very comfortable, and it doesn't seem like it could hold too much weight, but we needed an "extra" stool at the piano for practice sessions with our kids, and it works great as an extra. I wouldn't recommend it as your ONLY seating option for playing an instrument though. Folding it up is also a little tricky, so we just leave it down all the time. It's really nice and compact so it doesn't get in the way at all. It just fits under the piano along with the regular bench. The price is right too. Almost perfect! March 9, 2015 Seems a bit rickety at first, but once you set it up and apply weight, it's surprisingly sturdy. Folds up very easily (almost too easily--gave my knee a good bonk the first time), and is low-profile. I recommend picking up some fabric, additional padding and a staple gun to upholster over the existing seat, but I have an unusually bony behind, so this might just be a preference and not general complaint.Otherwise, it's very portable, lightweight and so far, quite sturdy. I recommend this a s a very decent budget piano bench! | 17% Perfect, sturdy design, but needs more cushioning August 22, 2017 I wish there was more padding in the seat, which is the only reason it didn't get 5 out of 5 stars. I can totally feel the buttons. Although, placing a couple of folded blankets on top gave it enough cushion to sit on for longer periods of time. The top material is some type of soft vinyl that protects it when something is spilled on it. It came with its own wrench, albeit a really silly little one, but I keep it in the bench to tighten up the nuts about twice now, every 6 months. Very sturdy as well. Can hold at least 250 pounds (113 kg), I bet it would hold up to 300 lbs (136 kg) even. The wood legs are still shiny black with no dings or scuffs after daily usage. Is amazing to use as a piece of bedroom furniture, near the closet or at the foot of the bed; very versatile. Lid lifts up and down smoothly, it stays up in the vertical position. The storage space can hold a lot of books.9/10 would buy again, unless there is a huge discount on a better cushioned bench with the same design. The only issue that I have run into is that the legs become loose over time but can easily be tightened again August 8, 2017 This piano bench went very well with the Williams Rhapsody electronic piano that I bought. The only issue that I have run into is that the legs become loose over time but can easily be tightened again.The overall build quality for this piano bench is satisfactory for the price.Williams Rhapsody 2 88-Key Console Digital Piano Good Bench! July 1, 2016 Very Good bench for the money. Love that I can keep my sheet music somewhere organized that isn't on some table/horizontal surface near the piano. Comfortable enough to use for decent playing times, I haven't tried sitting on it for more than and hour and a half or so.The buttons are a little hard, they usually don't bother me when playing, but on a rare occasion if I need to slide because I'm using a different side of the piano I'll "notice" them. Good bench with adequate structure support, but a great bench for the price! June 5, 2016 This is a very good bench for the price. I am 250 pounds and it is very sturdy with me seated. The storage compartment bottom is a bit flimsy, so i wouldn't put much music inside but the overall strength of the structure is fine unless you are very heavy (like more than 300 lbs). I like the chair October 9, 2015 I like the chair. This is the cheapest you'll find for a piano bench that has storage - even with the hefty shipping. I was thinking of getting a regular ottoman type bench with storage but the height would be so much shorter. This bench is just a good height with the digital piano i have. It's tat low (~1 inch) for my taste but it's pretty standard for the piano bench heights. easy to assemble, sturdy. I haven't used it long enough to see how long the fake leather padding last. |
Three Star Reviews: | 13% Would not recommend or buy again. February 1, 2016 Bought this for my kid to use with her Casio electric piano. She is small for her age, so she can use it for at least a year or two. The Casio Arbench is okay for a cheap, lightweight and somewhat wobbly piano stool. I can't imagine how any adult would comfortably and safely use this for a long amount of time. It could be made more stable had Casio simply spent another 5¢ to add a locking pin to the other side of the attached folding leg of the stool. Good stool, terrible feet ends. January 8, 2016 We've had this stool for a year now. It started out as the stool to go with a keyboard.... but turned into a stool that we use as a desk chair. It's the perfect height - but also, it's so small that it disappears right beneath the desk when needed. I wish the rubber feet ends wouldn't come off constantly. We actually are missing 1 completely (cats!). I would give it 5 stars if the rubber feet stayed on. Three Stars June 1, 2015 Good chair but I can't seem to figure out how to lower the chair. No instructions are provided. it works April 11, 2015 Came with broken foot covers that are hard plastic any way.Sturdy bench with great height options. Don't recommend it for wood floors. | 11% I would say that for the price it is a pretty reasonable product though September 5, 2017 The buttons that are in the cushion hurt to sit on.I would say that for the price it is a pretty reasonable product though. Comfy, but not too sturdy. August 29, 2017 This bench is just ok - not very sturdy. It already wobbles and does not feel like it will last. I like it because it is comfy to sit on and has storage Problematic Upholstery but Still a Good Piece of Furniture April 21, 2016 Before I bought it I read people's reviews of the buttons popping off and took my chances. I've had mine for 2 years and I've lost one button. I wouldn't buy an upholstered one again if it's at the lowest price point like this one. On the up side, I can scoot back and forth, utilizing all the keyboard's octaves, and it serves me very well. I like having a real wooden bench with storage and this suits that need. My favorite songbooks are inside the bench. The price was right. It sure beats the adjustable metal benches from Guitar Center. Pretty bench but not comfortable. Long term durability is a concern. March 22, 2016 This is shiny and provides storage and dual sitting places. Looks very good. My wife loves the way it looks in the living room. However, this bench doesn't strike me as being heavy-duty or resistant to the least abuse. I have another bench I bought for my upstairs piano that is not so fancy, doesn't have storage, doesn't seat two comfortably, but strikes me as being more sturdy. It's the On Stage KT 800 Keyboard Bench. I would give the On Stage one five stars because I like it's stability and durability. For example, I would stand on the On Stage bench; I would not stand on this one. There are obviously trade offs.Update: I have recently posted a YouTube video comparison of this piano bench with the On Stage Stands KT 7800. After having used the TMS bench for a month now, I take away a star or two for comfort and durability. Here's the title of my video if you'd like to check it out: On Stage Stands Piano bench, KT 7800 and the TMS Black Ebony Piano Bench.I find this piano bench quite hard and I don't like the buttons on top. Good bench but it was missing a part required to build it January 11, 2016 Bench itself appears to be in good condition, sturdy after being assembled. Gave it three stars because a part was missing. This was a Christmas gift, so I couldn't gift it until almost two weeks after Christmas. |
Two Star Reviews: | 5% Too Short! Don't buy unless you are over 6'6" and then it might not hold you well. July 15, 2016 I'm 6 feet tall and have plenty of upper body length, but my arms are still below the keyboard. I put books under the bench and needed about 6 inches to get my forearms where they don't have to angle up to reach the keyboard. This bench is too short, making it uncomforable to play. I only gave it 2 stars instead of 1, since I can still sit on it. I'm 5'3", and it does not set high enough to play the keyboard comfortably. February 8, 2016 I'm 5'3", and it does not set high enough to play the keyboard comfortably when paired with the Casio ARDX Double X Keyboard Stand on its lowest setting. I am 5' 6" and its sits too low for ... January 7, 2016 I am 5' 6" and its sits too low for me. I had to move the center screw one notch higher to gain some height, but its not stable any more. Cancer Warning! January 26, 2012 No where in the description did I see any warnings for this bench. When I received the bench, there was a large sticker on the side of the box that states a warning that this product contains chemicals known to cause cancer. I haven't even opened the box yet as I am debating returning it now. This would have been useful information prior to making my purchase. | 3% The piano bench looks nice and was not damaged upon arrival September 5, 2017 The piano bench looks nice and was not damaged upon arrival, but it did not come with the hardware necessary for assembly. Missing 4 nuts (and 4 washers) needed to put the legs on. We will need to go out and find hardware that works. Low quality for the price January 19, 2017 The bench does not look bad and fits two thin adults comfortably however the buttons do hurt my ankle if I sit cross-legged. The under-seat compartment is useful but it is also poorly built. Poor quality for the price I paid (~$50) Keeps wobbling. The nuts do not want to hold ... May 24, 2016 Keeps wobbling. The nuts do not want to hold fast. Pretty but cheaply made. March 18, 2016 It's pretty but VERY cheap. Leg broke the first day we had it. Company was nice and sent a new leg but we have to baby this thing now. ... back and forced the otehr back on - still good price and does the April 14, 2015 I know it was inexpensive - but two of the buttons on top came undone just by sitting on it - I glued one back and forced the otehr back on - still good price and does the job |
One Star Reviews: | 1% Too short, Description on the height/weight is wrong! November 9, 2015 This bench is NOT 25.5 inches high, and you CANNOT adjust the seat to go higher. It is pretty dinky and the seat isn't wide enough in comparison to the length of my piano (seat is only 17" wide) for me to sit comfortably and play.BTW, the stand that is advertised to go with it, should not be paired with the Casio digital piano I bought.I am returning both items ASAP. | 7% The construction seems to not be super flimsy. I neglected to return them during the ... June 14, 2017 I bought two of these and assembled them as tightly as possible. They were left in practice rooms at my school to be used regularly. A leg broke on both of them within a month. The construction seems to not be super flimsy. I neglected to return them during the window. I am hoping they send me replacement legs. They look very nice though. One Star May 23, 2017 very rickety and one screw was not long enough to put thought and tighten the leg so the bench wobbles the entire time you are on it. It was very pretty, wish it was January 19, 2017 It came broken. Whem i called for a replacememt they offered 50% discount, but the item could not be used as is. They then offered me a full refund. I dod not order a new one because it was too flimsy. It was very pretty, wish it was sturdier Poor packaging September 8, 2016 I just received this in the mail today and it's completely damage there's a huge tear on the outside this is on acceptable . I purchased the bench brand-new when I took it out ... July 12, 2014 I purchased the bench brand-new when I took it out of the box the entire thing was moldy! I had to spend time cleaning disinfecting and then protecting it I'm still waiting for the odor to go away. Since it was a birthday present I did not have time to hassle with returning and waiting for a new one. |
