Side by Side Comparison of: Musician's Gear vs World Tour

Great unit. Well made. Highly recommend it.

I assumed I would have to put the bench together. I waited to open the box for weeks. I was pleasantly surprised to open the box and just raise the bench up the way you would an ironing board. Great product and folds down for easy storage.

We bought this keyboard bench for my 11 year old daughter to use with the Musician's Gear 61 Key Stand and Cover Package which we bought on Amazon. It doesn't require any assembly, easy to adjust height and is very sturdy. She feels comfortable sitting on it for practice. We are happy with the purchase.

So far so good! Very easy to set up! The lowest setting is still a little too high for my 5-year-old daughter but my husband adjusted the keyboard stand and it worked out just fine. The seat is very comfortable and we received it a week earlier - awesomeness! And by the way, we're in Hawaii so the arrival seriously surprised us =)

I'm very happy with this purchase. Especially for the price - it is amazing! It was firm but very comfortable. Perfect height on the highest notch, fits perfectly under my keyboard as well. It's longer than it looks in the picture, but I was happy about that. Pretty lightweight for having to move around, if you have to. If you're scrolling through all the millions of benches on Amazon like I did, just get this one. Your search is over. You're welcome.

It's very similar to the Yamaha PKBB1 but with one big difference; it can be adjusted higher. This is important if your keyboard is on a stand that doesn't go as low as a real piano (like the Yamaha PKBX2). I had to return my Yamaha PKBB1 bench because it would not adjust high enough to be compatible with Yamaha's stand! The Musician's Gear bench seems to be of equal quality, but adjusts higher -- it can even be adjusted high enough to be in a semi-standing position, if you prefer that on stage.

Easy set up, fits an 88 key keyboard. Seat is comfortable.

Works great for my 7 yr. old's piano. Both are adjustable and piano stand seems stable on carpet. No issues. Would recommend.

feels very sturdy and the seat is well made.

Pretty simple but stable and solid feeling bench and stool.The stool is padded and comfy enough for extended sitting. The stand can be adjusted for various heights from sitting on a low stool to standing. Very basic assembly required with the included tools, probably took me 2 minutes.Not sure keyboard size matters too much. It just rests on top. I got this to go with an 88-key Alesis and it worked out great.

Holding steady so far. I've only had this for a couple months but its easy to put together and adjust.

This stand and chair came in a big box. It required very little assembling, took about 5-10 minutes only. The chair is comfortable but was a little wobbly on the hardwood floor but when I moved it to the carpet, I didn't notice it at all. The piano stand is great because you can adjust it to fit your height (You can do that with the chair too). Serves its purpose and great for the price! I recommend.

Biggest downside is it sits really high, even at the lowest setting. It goes so high I was able to use it to change the net on a 10 foot basketball goal, and I'm only 5'10". However, I did have to stand and tippy-toe on it to reach. And I actually cheated since I move the leg so far to the left it wasn't in the peg. It's not meant to be used like that but it held like a rock so that speaks to its durability and mechanics.The seat isn't very soft but I find it's actually still comfortable. If you need soft, plushy seats though, this might not be for you.Other than that, it's a bench, you can see it all from the image and it works as expected.

Great quality and super soft padded seat. Just wished it'd of adjusted lower for a piano too.

C,mon man! It's 30 bucks. Adjustable, with a thick cushion. Works great for us.

Great portable piano bench! Very sturdy, a little bit on the heavy side... It was a little bit difficult to get into the slots when setting up, but once in, was really in - I'm even wondering if I will be able to get it loose if I want to collapse it.

It's not the softest material I've sat on but this bench is easy to adjust and can be adjusted fairly high. The lowest adjustment from the floor to the seat surface is 21.5 inches. The highest adjustment is 27.5 inches. I doubt anyone will need to sit that high, but I'll let you be the judge of that. Would've been better if this bench had a softer cushioning material, but it is okay.

This keyboard bench is a great value! It is of moderately solid construction and should suit my purposes fine, though if it were getting constant, daily use, it might not hold up for long. For the price who can complain?The bench comes fully assembled in a sturdy box for shipping. The setup is simple, just select the height you want and pop it into place. No worries about anything coming lose while you're using it--that'd be impossible with the design! I would like to see it be able to go a little shorter, but as long as you measure the height you want and it is in the range described above you should be fine.The cushion is thick and very firm. I'm not sure how it would be after an extended session, if it would conform or stay firm. The covering does feel a little cheap, but for the price a good quality. I would say that the first thing to give out on this bench would be the padding or the covering, but for $30 it is a great deal.

I like this. However the keyboard just kinda lays on top. I feel like it's not that sturdy.

Looks nice. Easy to assemble. Height adjustment is also easy. Only thing i am trying to understand is why my keyboard is not touching all the 4 cornersof the stand. Any suggestion would be great help.

Bench is perfect but the stand wasn't as I expected. Not too sturdy and I triple-checked all the screws were in tightly. I wedged my keyboard in the corner of the room so it's up against a wall to combat the wobbling of the stand. I don't even play my keyboard with much vigor but it still shakes around if the stand is out in the open - I tried it on hard kitchen flooring and also my thicker shag carpeting.

I like that there are multiple levels to adjust it to. Simple and doesn't have much structure that would take up a lot of room. I seem to remember that the instructions weren't very clear. I had to take a little apart and redo. What I don't like is that the top isn't flat due to the rubber ends. So the keyboard isn't as study on there as I would like it to be, especially since a child also uses the keyboard.

It does what it was created to do. I like the ability to adjust stand to the level I want, but I wish I were able to adjust it to the level of a regular piano. I can only adjust for it to be too high or too low. But it helps.

This was a gift for my grandson who was turning 3 years old. He loves it!!! It makes it easy for the kids to get up to play the piano we got with it. I love how it is adjustable. Be aware that depending on the size piano you get and how low you need it, it may not be perfect. My husband had to get a board and paint it to make the piano fit on it, since we needed it lower. We have only had it for a week, so we will have to see how long it lasts. I will give it the last star if it stands up to the wear and tear.

I bought this bench to use with a regular piano. It is much too high, even on the lowest setting. It works only for my smallest piano students. The adjustment mechanism is finicky, and I have to flip the bench over on the floor to change the height. Seems sturdy, though.

At first I was disappointed in the height. I'm surprised that the lowest setting is higher than a normal piano bench. I moved the brackets on the non-adjustable end by using the outside screw holes in the seat for the outside screw holes in the bracket. Then made new holes for the outside holes in the bracket. Now it seems to be fine. This is also mentioned in one of the other reviews.

I bought three of these - one for myself and two more for other musicians in the group I play with. These benches are much more comfortable than sitting on a hard chair, and offer several height adjustments. They are a fairly good item for the price. The only problems I found were that the tubes which rest on the floor to support the bench were not properly adjusted to lay flat on the floor, and the rubber caps on the ends of those tubes will fall off if the bench is moved without picking it up.

Looks nice, easy to set up but I don't think it's that great quality wise. Edges began cracking within weeks. Like other users have stayed, it is pretty small.

Very well packaged but poor quality control as one of the legs was bent a out 35 degrees which made sitting on it impossible as it would be very unstable. If you concerned about stability I would go with a more standard piano bench as I don't believe it would be very stable even with a straight leg.

The cushion is firm, but comfortable. Like some of the other reviews we thought even the low adjustment was high. If you are handy, you can un-screw the bracket (non-adjustable side) and re-use the outer holes for the inner screws and make a new pilot hole for the outer side of the bracket. When complete it is the perfect height. Because of the angled legs the low setting is much lower now and high is more than even a tall person would need. We have ours set to the middle setting now and I am 6'1". I was glad there was room to move the bracket, but I would have given it 5 stars if I didn't have to retrofit it.

The actual product deserves 5 stars for the quality and the price. My only disappointment, which was a big one for me, is that the package came with no SCREWS for the stand. So, I have a great seat, very sturdy, adjustable, and sleek...and I have the pieces of the stand. This annoys me to no end because this took months to arrive, then Incomplete?!? Details matter!

Doesn't fit as well as advertised on Medium size keyboards, had to wedge under keyboard to sit level. Very easy to set up and price was good...

The bench showed up scuffed with white paint but I quite like it in general; the stand I'm a little disappointed in. I guess it could be the fault of either product, but being 5'4" the bench doesn't get high enough or conversely, the stand doesn't get low enough for me to be seated comfortably to play for longer periods of time. It's manageable but I wish it were more adjustable.

Everything is well made, but it doesn't work with the keyboard that I have. Since it doesn't fit too well on top of the stand and playing the keyboard makes the keyboard shimmy a little, I am sending it and the bench back.

Love the seat. The stand came with one piece not drilled. My husband had to drill a hole to keep the bar that holds the keyboard in place.

I bought this set because of the price and the chair, the chair is super comfortable and I knew the stand wasn't going to be as good as others I saw in other sets, but I didn't like the stool in those, and buying it separately was increasing the price.I don't like the way teh keyboard rest on the support but it works it doesn't occupy a lot space, and chair comfy that is really impt! You can graduate the height of stool accord to length of keyboard.And I was surprised that it took so long to arrive, my order got lost on the way and after the due date of arrival I contacted amazon and told them my problem, they placed another order which arrived on time this time.

This bench is ok. It's sturdy, not so comfortable and squeaks every time you sit on it. I do like the height adjustments.

The chair too high for my 13 years old kid even me. No ways to adjust lower. very cheap material, only few buck you can get from YAMAHA way beter. Be care full under chair metal component no deburr ( VERY SHARP ) WILL BE HURT YOUR SELF.

Good and ample seating surface but legs were uneven on floor, orherwise a good product.

The quality seems o.k. I really struggled with giving it 1 star because it is just so useless for us. Really it is made for taller people! On the lowest setting I cannot touch the floor. I actually can swing my legs like I am a kid on a tall seat! I am 5'4", my husband is 5'8" and he can touch the floor (again, on the lowest possible setting). Weird. We are not tall by any means but kids certainly cannot use it for piano practice. :/ It also will not adjust to the other settings because the notches to change heights are bent... not that we would ever need it, unless someone tall came over to hang out.

One of the screws was welded shut and now we can't put it together . We're still trying to figure out how to take that see a out.

I ordered one and it looks amazing. Appears sturdy and we'll built but it was sent with no screws! I may update my review but really disappoint in World Tour right now.

I ordered this for my daughter for Christmas and when we opened it up to assemble it, it didn't have any screws. Unacceptable!

I hadn't opened this until after the return date. I finally did and found that the bench was fine but the stand was missing one short bar, the screw package was already opened with 3 screws missing, the instructions looked like they'd been read and folded several times, the stand bars were bent and warped at the edges. This probably wouldn't affect the function of the stand, but when you buy a new item, you expect it to be new.

Would of been nice but one of the legs on the bench bent and makes the bench not sit level. My grandson didn't want to go without it, so he didn't want to send it back and have to wait for another one.

i purchased this for my yamaha keyboard and it's too wide while my keyboard is thinner. There are knobs to tighten the grip but it's not secure. My keyboard slides around too much. The seat is super wobble and i've tightened that multiple times and nothing changes (I only was 120lbs). It works but probably not worth $65 when I purchased it.

The stand was missing screws so I can't assemble it. Frustrating. Bench was easy.

Cheaply made, stand is missing screws so it's in pieces the bench was really easy to set up but I'm not sure what went wrong in the design of the stand.

Very flimsy

Product is just ok..but customer service is worst. I wish nobody has to deal with them...if its abt customer service...even 1 star wud b more.The product description is misleading. It does NOT fit all the piano model as mentioned and makes piano unstable while playing.All in all!

This was a Christmas gift for my son. When my husband opened it to assemble it, one of the bars for the stand was missing so it was not usable. It was a disappointment and I wished I had opened it as soon as I received it but I waited because I wanted to surprise my son on Christmas morning. I have requested a return, I just hope it is not a long process. I will update when I hear something

I purchased this claiming to be new - it was obviously used with large tears in the seat, puncture holes in the seat, and the stand was missing the two top rails, rendering the thing useless anyways. Total bust - there's plenty of other decent deals on stands here, don't make the same mistake I did.
