Side by Side Comparison of: TMS vs OnStage

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

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. So far, I haven't had any issues with it other than an occasional tightening.

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.

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.

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!!!

nice product

Solid, comfortable, quick and easy to assemble! As others mentioned, the bench seat does not lift up for storage, but I'm ok with that. It came packaged neatly - the legs are packed with styrofoam under the bench seat so the box size is very reasonable. No damage on arrival and I had it assembled in 3 minutes! You need just a small wrench to tighten the bolts and I have had it for about 3 weeks now and have not had to re-tighten them yet. It comes with the non-scratch knobs on the bottoms of the legs but I still added a little square of the adhesive felt that I use on all my furniture to avoid scratches on my hardwood floor. I have boys and they are not very careful when scooting forward/backward on the stool at the piano. I love the dark wood finish!

This bench is classy. I love the look and it's great for a small space. The padding makes is nice and comfortable if you enjoy spending a lot of time at the piano. It's small, sturdy and easy to put together.

it's simple, inexpensive and sturdy. just what I wanted. we actually already have one piano bench that came with the piano, but found it was serving other needs, like using it in the hallway to put our shoes on. so, I bought this one to place it in the hallway permanently. We had to put the legs on, which was very easy, and now it serves as planned. Very practical!

Easy to put together. Shipped very quickly. In excellent condition. Seat is firm. My son loves his new bench.

This is a great piano bench, especially for the price. My daughter prefers a wood bench to the metal ones and she loves this one. The seat is very nice and the bench feels sturdy. Easy to assemble. Would have liked one that had storage, but those were more expensive than I wanted to pay at this time. This is a very comfortable and attractive bench. My daughter sits for long periods practicing and really likes this new bench.

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.

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

looks great, especially for the price.

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.

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. 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.

Very good! Easy to assemble but hope it had a small drawer to put music pieces

Good bench for the price. Has a nice soft top cushion that's comfortable.

It was smaller than I was expecting but works great for one person. Very easy to assemble. No storage bench, but I knew that when I made the purchase. Just looking for something simple for our kids to sit on while they play on the piano and this does the job!

Very easy to assemble n sturdy for adults n children

A great, little bench. Smaller than the one we used to have which this is replacing, but for the price, we are happy.

This is just the right height and sturdy enough for my cello playing and was considerably cheaper than most benches I looked at. I had wished it had storage, so my husband and I altered the design by adding a piano hinge and a plywood bottom (about 10 bucks worth of materials) so that we could store music in it, which was cheaper than buying a piano bench with storage. My only complaint is that the top vinyl fabric is not that durable. I already poked a hole in it by accident. Still for the price it has worked out fine and would be very easy to reupholster the top if I choose to do so.

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.

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

Legs feel loose even after tightening several times.

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.

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.

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.

Very squeaky. I'm going to try oiling the joints a bit.

Sturdy enough for children to use/play on. However, will not likely stand the test of time, especially if being used by an adult. That being said, the price is slightly high for quality that is mediocre.

It supportsm a 210 pound man but not a real high quality product

ok

one side of the leg is broken(only a bit)

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.

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 fast.

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.

Seams already ripped after lightly used!

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

I gave this two stars because it came missing one nut and washer. SO now I have to go through the trouble of looking for one myself or going through the return process.

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.

Piano bench came with mold and missing the screws for the legs.

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 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

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 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.
