Five Star Reviews: | 63% sturdy and comfortable bench for my keyboard March 9, 2017 I don't know why all the complaint reviews. This is an ample sized, compact, sturdy and comfortable bench for my keyboard. At a great price. Love it! Great deal February 16, 2015 Very comfortable, good size (not short side to side like some benches), sturdy enough to support my heavy mother. Very happy with my purchase. Very pleased January 3, 2015 For the price, it is very well made. The only thing is that to adjust the stool one must unscrew a bolt to do it. Since we don't travel with the stool this is a non-issue. Also it holds 250lbs. Many of these stools do not. Read the fine print before you buy. I love this item November 22, 2014 I love my new keyboard bench it was easy to put together a great price and its big enough for me and my teacher to sit on. Nice Bench! August 26, 2014 This is a sturdy, well-made bench with a good amount of padding. No bells or whistles, just solid. Only drawback is that adjusting the height is cumbersome since you have to remove a bolt and 2 washers, then replace at desired height. Otherwise, great bench! | 71% excellent! very sturdy chair May 22, 2017 excellent! very sturdy chair! Use it with my electronic keyboard and it's very comfortable and stable! Great quality, very sturdy May 22, 2017 Very easy to put up and then lay flat. Excellent and high quality. Very sturdy. Sturdy bench that has lasted us 7 years so far July 16, 2016 I bought this bench back in April 2009 for my son. It is now July 2016 and I am buying another, only because the top on the original one is starting to split a bit at the edges because it has been so used and abused. This bench has held up to some heavy use, including for things it shouldn't be, like standing on it to hang a curtain rod (don't do that ;-)). Strength-wise it could go for years longer, so I will probably be recovering the old one and using it elsewhere in the house, while giving my son the new one for his piano. It is well-padded and height-adjustable, and it's a tight, sturdy bench that doesn't feel cheap, with no creaking or wiggling when you're using it. It now costs about 7 or 8 dollars more than I paid for the old one, and at that it's still a good deal, assuming the new one is made like the old (and if it isn't, I'll be back to update this review). Get one, you'll love it. I'm getting another for my other studio. October 23, 2013 Great seat, lightweight, inexpensive but great quality. I live the fact it's adjustable because for working at my glass torch I need it higher. For working at my jewelry bench I like it lower. I love the fact it's lightweight and so darn portable. BEST buy I ever made on Amazon. I'm getting another one! Exactly what I was looking for March 13, 2013 I am super pleased with this. It is a nice looking simple and light bench. Very little assembly and I was able to lower the bench easily. Just what I was looking for.Update: 5-28-2013:I am still pleased with this bench, but only now after 4 months of piano lessons did we learn that the highest setting of the bench (even with the the lowest setting of the keyboard stand) is still not tall enough for the right level for my 4 yr old son. So I do have to order a new adjustable piano bench. However, I can still use this bench in other ways. Just want to make it clear that for the young piano students, the tallest setting may not be tall enough. good sturdy chair October 6, 2009 It's a great sturdy chair for the keyboard... the best part is that it doesn't move or creak or rock at all when you sit on it! It feels really solid and well-made.And it's nice to be able to adjust the height - though I really can't figure out how you adjust it SIX levels, there seem to be only 3 heights you can actually achieve. I mean there are 3 holes in each of the legs, so that COULD mean that you could make 6 levels out of it, but matching hole 1 on one leg with hole 2 on the other would make the chair lopsided, wouldn't it?The only problem I had with it was the delivery, but that was more of a problem with UPS than the chair. It's a great chair and I certainly recommend buying it. |
Four Star Reviews: | 20% Quality seat, hassle to adjust. June 17, 2017 Wide, sturdy, adjustable seat. Easy to put together but a bit of a hassle to adjust and fold up...requires the removal of a bolt with washers. I would not recommend this for a working musician who sets up and loads out frequently. Stable bench! March 16, 2017 The wide cross base helps kid not tipping over. One star is taken away becoz the bench isn't wide enough for 2 people, we need that to play duet. It's huh enough for even 3 years old kids. Great Bench for the Price February 22, 2016 This bench was very simple to put together. It is comfortable to sit on. It seems sturdy and level. The only issues I have with it are that it sits fairly high. I am 5' 9" (175cm) and I need to have it on its lowest setting to sit comfortably with my knees and hips just slightly oblique of 90 degrees (see pic). The lowest setting puts the top of the seat cushion about 18.5" (47cm) off the ground. The cushion compresses maybe half an inch. The next highest setting raises the seat to about 21" (53cm), which would probably also be fairly comfortable to play from. The other two settings are 22.5" (57cm) and 24" (61cm) which may work for a stage setting if you wanted to be almost standing but more comfortable or for sitting if you are quite a lot taller than me. The lowest setting might be very slightly lower than most wooden piano benches I have used. It does not adjust quite perfectly with the keyboard stand I bought, but I won't fault the bench for that. For the price, I think it works just fine. Finer height adjustment would be nice, but the settings it does have can be changed quickly and easily without tools. It isn't perfect, but it is very budget friendly. Had I paid more, I would have given it three stars, but I think the price of the product should be factored in to the rating in its favor. 100% SATISFIED! I use it for a desk chair for ... January 1, 2016 100% SATISFIED! I use it for a desk chair for a folding table. Padding is fantastic seat for the big bottom - not a disappointment. Thick without being too firm. Easy to put legs to the bench - follow diagram and NO PROBLEM and quick; no tools needed. Plan to get more to use for community volunteer activities instead of folding chairs. Much better than a folding chair. And WAY more comfortable. Highly, Highly, Highly recommend to anyone looking to finally find a comfortable (easily) portable seat. And there are 4 adjustments on this model to raise and lower height to your comfort level. Quality of what I got is like furniture and not like a cheap do it yourself put together from a superstore. Sturdy to sit on with confidence. Weight more than 250 might be too much for the legs to hold - (changed review from 5 stars to 4 stars for a bend problem). sturdy but not flexible, not very comfortable October 7, 2014 this is not the most comfortable seat in the world. it is very annoying to readjust or collapse for transport. my other bench, albeit more comfortable, could be adjusted and collapsed quite easily, but was not as reliably sturdy, so i guess it's a trade off. it is very sturdy and reliable. solid starter bench, especially if you dont have to move it around a lot or adjust it often. | 18% Good mechanics February 11, 2017 More comfortable than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, my tired old butt can't sit on it for ever. So, the lesson would be, of course, sit while you're young. Fun to also move around the apartment and sit in front of stuff you have to fix or plug in or eat at(tv tray), etc. and the mechanical part is perfect for my skills. Totally functional December 2, 2016 This has been a totally great addition to the keyboard in our living room, replacing an antique bench that wasn't padded and wasn't sturdy enough to trust. My sweetheart ends up playing guitar and hand drums on it as well. It is not quickly adjustable, but we didn't need that functionality. Surprisingly steady May 15, 2014 I bought this to go with the Yamaha YPG-235 76-Key Portable Grand Piano Premium Pack for my grandson (age 3). I was afraid it would tip over easily but it was surprisingly steady. We did put a footstool in front of it so he could climb up onto the bench more easily.This stool was just fine for myself or my daughter to use. It's actually mroe adjustable than a piano bench, with three height adjustments. The highest adjustment worked well for the 3-yr-old and my daughter and I could still play easily on it, too.It took 3 days before my grandson figured out how much fun it was to punch holes in the plastic covering the foam. The stool top is now covered in black duct tape. I don't know what you could cover it with that's strong enough to keep pre-schoolers from punching through the top but you might want to try that before the pre-schoolers get at it. Pretty Good - For The Inexpensive Buyer (Harpist) March 21, 2013 I purchased this bench, because I wanted something temporary for my harp playing. I'm 5.6 Inches tall, my lever harp is a Camac Concert Melusine about 4.6 in height. When sitting on the bench, I'm about 4. 5 (I think that's right) It's quite good. I got this bench, because I was having problems sitting comfortable; shifting every now and then. This was mostly due to sitting on a wood bench, with a pillow over it. Not comfortable after an hour of playing. I just wanted an inexpensive bench for the time being. It doesn't compromise my sitting at all.This bench is very comfortable and I do find sitting up straight easy. Now, the bench only has two levels. It only goes down one notch. With that said, this could be seen as a temporary bench for a harpist, until you can find a bench more suitably made for harpists; one you can bring down or up two or more notches.On added bonus is the bench can be folded and stored. Max height 20 3/4" -- too short for me September 22, 2011 The bench was reasonably well made and easy to set up. If the height range works for you (and you haven't had too many supersized meals) then this bench would be a decent purchase. However, it was not tall enough for me.Neither the product description nor the reviews available at the time of ordering had any information on the actual heights of the bench. So, for the sake of anyone considering this bench, the heights of the bench I received ranged from 19 to 20 3/4 inches. Good quality for price March 22, 2011 The bench was well packaged and arrived in perfect order. It appears well made - the welds are good, the legs are straight and square (there is no wobble whatsoever) and the hard rubber (or plastic?) caps at the ends of the tubes do a great job preventing the bench from sliding on our hardwood floor. The padding of the seat is thick and comfortable.The only thing I do not like are two stickers on one of the legs I am struggling to get off - I may have to try with some de-natured alcohol. It also remains to be seen how long the faux leather upholstery will last without cracking.In summary though we are happy with the bench. It may not be beautiful but it is solid and works - what more can you expect for the price? |
Three Star Reviews: | 4% Really nice, BUT... July 27, 2017 UPDATE: I really didn't want to ruin my other bench...or end up with useless leftover pieces... so I found a better solution. I just switched the brackets where the legs attach to the seat. Now I can loosen the knob and fold the bench flat. Done deal. I need a taller bench than the standard On-Stage type, as I am not a tall person (ahem)... This is great for the extra height, and the larger seat is nice too. BUT... I agree with the other reviewers about the knock-down problem. It's a real pain to screw around with the bolt and nut and washers and try to line up the holes, etc. on a dark stage. I'm actually going to adapt these legs to my On-Stage seat so that I can have everything attached and just lift the legs into place. I'll end up with a whole bench worth of leftover useless pieces but oh well. I need to be able to load in and out quickly without dropping or losing parts and be comfortable when I play. Whoever designed this is obviously not a gigging musician. just not sturdy enough for our kids April 28, 2016 Decent product, but not stable enough for children who don't know how to sit still. Children are 4 and 6 and sometime lean forward or back and the bench falls over. Never had an issue with a four legged bench. Other than that the product is well made, just not sturdy enough for our kids. It takes a couple minutes to adjust. I was ... March 10, 2015 It takes a couple minutes to adjust. I was hoping it would have a lever or bolt that would pop in and out to quickly adjust for my students. Otherwise it does what it's supposed to do. Good seat but the pad is all wrinkled and the ... January 28, 2015 Good seat but the pad is all wrinkled and the wrinkles won't go away. Not a big deal unless your butt doesn't like to sit on wrinkled cushions. | 6% is good; however April 14, 2015 The height of the bench, which is adjustable, is good; however, the quality of the cushion is poor - it has little support and sinks in the moment a person sits on it. Not good for the back or playing for an extended period of time. Not the most solid bench and a little squeeky. March 24, 2014 The padding is decent and it's comfortable enough. The materials are a little cheap however and it squeaks a lot, so if you're recording in a studio you may want to find another place to sit. However, if you're just looking for a low-priced seat this will work. Incompetent Delivery Service January 7, 2014 So, I needed a good piano chair to sit on. I saw that this specific chair had good reviews and purchased it.However.. WORLD TOUR decided to use the MOST incompetent USPS delivery service and, as it turns out, the product came damaged. The knob that adjusts the height was half broken, so I had to use a bit of TAPE to put back the two pieces(found other piece lurking in packaging box) together.Other than the incompetent shopping.. the chair is pretty good. Couldn't give it 5 stars because of the horrid shopping. Just three heights may not do it for you. December 10, 2013 This is a good bench, the thing is, that it is too specific. If you don't have exactly one of the three heights provided, then you're out of luck.ON the plus side is easy to adjust and setup, also comfortable. Comfy but Not Fast July 25, 2013 It has a comfortable seat and seems stable and well-made. However, if you need to haul it around frequently, it takes a bit of time to set up and screw down or open up the screws that hold the moving stability bar on the bottom of the seat. Also, if you need to adjust the height, you have to remove the entire bolt assembly seen at the crossing point of the bars, and then select one of three holes that are only an inch or some apart from each other. So, not much selection there. Fine for shorter periods, no good for longer hours of playing November 27, 2012 The build is fine, the look is fine, but the cushion, the whole reason it is not just a wooden bench, leaves a bit to be desired.The cushion is cheap. It is comfortable for about an hour, and then quickly becomes uncomfortable.I'd be willing to pay another $30 for a bench with memory foam, but I've not seen such a thing. |
Two Star Reviews: | 5% I'm kind of scared to use it as I'm rather ... February 14, 2016 I'm kind of scared to use it as I'm rather large and it is supported by plastic attachments and 1/2 inch screws probably into 3/4 inch particle board. There was no weight limit defined on product.Also height is adjusted by taking bolt completely out of crossover joint. It looks nice and durable January 31, 2016 we got our chair on Oct 20, 2015 for our 5 yo son. It looks nice and durable, But after 3 months of sitting on this chair the leg from one side banded inside. the quality is so poor. For this maount of money I wish I can buy a strong and decent chair!!!! Not Exactly What I Imagined June 20, 2015 Not too sturdy and makes strange noises when people sit on it. Pay more, get more April 16, 2015 It's uncomfortable after a few minutes as the padding is quite hard. Also small and flimsy. | 1% Two Stars June 8, 2015 Bench is uneven and when it stands it's shaking. No clue how to make legs even. Not very stable or comfortable. If you play your keyboard or drums for ... October 3, 2014 Not very stable or comfortable. If you play your keyboard or drums for more than 20 minutes, then get something more stable and comfortable. Too short April 30, 2014 Disappointed that it does not adjust high enough too suit comfortable play. Not suitable for play. Do not buy this. Seams around cushion coming apart August 30, 2013 This looked great at first but it did not take long before the seams were coming out around the cushion. Disappointing. Good initial value, but did not hold up. May 20, 2013 Thickly and firmly padded, and very sturdy. Vinyl cover with no obvious flaws in upholstery. Height is adjustable by removing a screw/knob and reinserting in a different notch. At the $24 I paid it is a good value, no way is it worth the $34.99 list.Update Feb 2014: A small tear appeared about a month ago. As I have three kids ranging from eight to fourteen, I cannot rule out an accident, or deliberate sabotage (as a seven year old I poked several hundred holes in my Dad's vinyl recliner, with a Bic ball point pen), so if the small tear had stayed small I would have been OK. However, the tear is now eight inches long, one inch wide in the middle, and the fabric backing has failed completely exposing bare foam padding. Turns out that the vinyl cover is very, very thin material. Demerit to two stars. Damaged when received December 20, 2011 I am returning this item. When I received it, one of the bottom legs was bent so it will not sit straight (it rocks back and forth) so I am returning it and buying something different. It looked like it would have been a nice bench so I gave it two stars but I was very disappointed when I got it and it was already damaged. The packaging looked fine so it must have been bent when they packaged it... |
One Star Reviews: | 8% Was sent a defective bench September 9, 2017 The bench broke only a few weeks after I purchased it. It collapsed while I was sitting on it and it could've been a very dangerous situation. I didn't even go over the weight limit (I am 125lb) or put something heavy on top of the bench. It left a huge bruise on my knee. Unacceptable. Very dissatisfied with this product. April 29, 2017 Very dissatisfied with this product. The bench has repeatedly collapsed beneath me within several weeks of purchase. I don't believe this is my fault, as I have had good luck assembling other items of furniture and don't weigh that much. A good number of other reviewers seem to have had positive experieces with this bench, but I certainly have not myself. Sad February 5, 2017 yall disappointed me on this product! Doesn't hold up falls to ground the adjuster is loose still when you tighten it! the bench is impossible to connect to the poles cause one is on the opposite side of the bench holder, don't know whats going eith with the reviews but this can't be the picture product TERRIBLE PRODUCT November 15, 2015 THIS PRODUCT IS TERRIBLE! Broke within a few weeks! Can't take any amount of weight. Don't be like me, thinking that its cheap and it should be fine. No. It sucks and will be a complete waste of money. DO NOT BUY! Not very strong!!! August 30, 2015 beware!!! One of the legs buckled after just a month! I'm about 6 2 220 and I guess it's just not strong enough. However the seat is comfortable. | 4% Please Be WARNED! December 30, 2015 I can not provide a review of the bench itself. I have not opened the box it arrived in. The first thing you see on the outside of the box is a PROP 65 Warning. The warning states "This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm". When reviewing the item to order it there is no information regarding this potential for bodily harm. Had there been I would NOT have ordered it...who wants to risk getting cancer, be unable to have children or causing your unborn child to have birth defects ? In order to return the bench I will have to pay $12.08 out of my pocket. I do not feel I should have to pay to return since the item was not represented properly. comfortable, affordable July 9, 2015 Seller should have informed Buyers that the Keyboard Bench box has a small warning label "PROP 65 WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm." This important health information was not revealed at the Amazon site. Although living in NY, I care about these health issues, and would not have purchased it if stated. Therefore, I intend to return it unopened. Yes, the Keyboard Bench may be portable, comfortable, affordable, and sturdy. But, it is worth it at such a health risk?! My Back is KILLING ME. April 6, 2015 A Keyboard Bench is a long term investment that you can't afford shortcuts on. I learned this the hard way after purchasing the World Tour Bench. You will be sitting on this Bench every single day and it will not be comfortable in the long run. A lot of the best piano playing comes from a tenseless body, this bench will leave you incredibly tense even after just forty minutes of practice. Do yourself a favor. Don't buy this Bench. Buy something more expensive if it can get you comfort, especially if you intend on practicing every day. Your back, forearms, fingers, and future piano technique will thank you. This seat is CROOKED September 7, 2013 It felt uneven and so I put a leveler on it and sure enough it isn't even flat. Not only that, I ordered this and over a week later it did not arrive so I emailed amazon and they said they would send me another because it got lost in transit. They could have told me that. So 1 star for World Tour for selling uneven benches and making them in china where people work 16 hour days just to barely survive and 1 star for Amazon for losing the package before it even reaches ups and doing business with World Tour. I wish I just when to a friendly music store and got a bench even if it meant paying twice as much as this It wobbles June 5, 2013 The chair wobbles and is clearly cheaply made. I would suggest picking some other product. The price was too good to be true Lack of packaging damaged the box and item. December 28, 2012 There was no internal foam or packaging. The bench tore through the box during shipment and was damaged. Returned the item. |
