Five Star Reviews: | 66% Very sturdy. I thought it would be too tippy for ... July 6, 2017 Very sturdy. I thought it would be too tippy for my antsy 6 and 9 year old boys, but is quite sure footed and they have not had a problem. Fantastic product - well worth the investment! April 29, 2017 this thing is super sturdy. Adjustable to 3 heights as mentioned, it's very comfortable and I use it to sit on when playing guitar. It is rock solid, and comes assembled so nothing to worry about in that area. Fantastic product. STURDY WITH FIRM SEAT December 27, 2016 This stand is sturdy and firm. It feels as good or better than any full size wooden piano stool. It is easy to assemble and break down and very portable. This was included in a package deal with a Yamaha P45 piano keyboard. Five Stars October 31, 2016 Great for the price. I needed something slightly taller to sit on than a chair. Exactly what I needed. Very good bench. February 22, 2016 We bought a piano that came with this bench as part of a package deal. I figured we wouldn't get much in the way of a bench, but we wanted the piano, so held off on purchasing another bench. I am so glad we did. The seat is thick and comfortable. It's very adjustable. You do not have to put it together, it comes completely assembled. My 8 year old, who is not a tall 8, uses this seat and can reach his keyboard perfectly. We have to put something under his feet, but we were more concerned about height than feet. He is a squirmer, even when he's playing, and this doesn't topple over or become unsteady. Sturdy and looks good July 31, 2010 This is a good solid piano bench and is not cheap looking. It looks surprisingly good with my electric piano. It's sturdy enough for large adults. I studied most of the piano benches offered on Amazon and read most of the reviews before deciding on this one, and have not regretted choosing it. I just wish I could store some music inside of it. | 74% It looks great with my upright grand piano April 29, 2016 It looks great with my upright grand piano. I was a little worried since my piano is made of cherry wood, so has a bit of a red tint. However, the walnut grand piano bench coloring is great with it. I also love that it is a duet bench and is a little bigger so I can play duets with my grandchildren and friends. Beautiful bench March 26, 2016 This is a very nice bench, and the price was excellent. Quality is very good-- it has the look of something you would pay much more for, and I am quite satisfied with it. It meets all my needs, and I am happy with my purchase. I recommend this piano bench to anyone looking for a similar piece. This item is a great find. The quality is outstanding considering the price December 9, 2015 We randomly leave reviews, but I could not help but do it this time. This item is a great find. The quality is outstanding considering the price. Real wood, good looking (better than the photo, yet true to the colors), sturdy. We live on an island and we are used to longer than usual shipping times... this item arrived in 3 days with Prime. What a great surprise!!! We could not believe it. Great value at a very reasonable price. Great product September 8, 2015 Great value. Item was shipped quickly and was packed securely. Minimal assembly required. Just need to bolt the four legs to the seat box and you are ready to use the piano bench. The legs are made of solid wood. The aprons are made of plywood. The bench color is light-medium brown, very glossy. NOT WALNUT colored, i.e. dark brown. Seat is solid when assembled. For $90, you can not buy a better quality piano bench. comfort, comfort, comfort December 22, 2012 A beautifully made bench, very roomy and extremely comfortable to sit on. Excellent price!! My piano tuner said he sells these benches for three times the price I paid! I would highly recommend this company! |
Four Star Reviews: | 19% Good portable piano seat. June 15, 2017 Solid seat. Just make sure the knob is tightened well. May need to check once in awhile but the seat will not collapse unless the main screw is completely removed. Good cushioning for comfort. Not the best piano seat i ever sat on but will work May 15, 2017 Not the best piano seat i ever sat on for sure but as a keyboard seat for less than an hour practise once in a while it does the job.It was easy to mount, just unfold and screw and it pretty light and portable.The comfort is not the best of all and to be honest more than an hour seating on this would seem challenging to me but as a simple solution it works. It does the job and matches the stand and black keyboard. April 16, 2017 It does the job and is comfortable. I prefer a good wooden piano bench that opens so I can store my piano books but this does the job and is light enough and comfortable Functional but hard. April 8, 2017 This bench is functional, but uncomfortable. I bought it because it was the cheapest one, and you get what you pay for. I use it exclusively in my home studio, so I don't spend too much time on it for long stretches, so it's a great fit for me. If you like a softer cushion, spend the extra money... I am not used to sitting without a back but it is good. The cushion isn't the greatest but for a ... September 6, 2016 The bench works well, I am not used to sitting without a back but it is good. The cushion isn't the greatest but for a half hour or hour it works well, seems solid and I would recommend it to anyone, I think it would hold a large person, I am over 200 pounds and it doesn't seem to mind... Very good quality. Comfy cushion October 2, 2014 Very good quality.Comfy cushion, nice leather, stable and sturdy.I'm 250 lb and it stands like a rock under me.Two cons. Both minor, don't affect the quality of the chair when it's assembled.1. The height: I'd want to be able to put it a bit lower. Will have to drill another hole myself.2. The bolt. You have to unscrew the bolt completely and try not to loose the washers, and assembly it back. It could be done more simply. | 14% Beautiful bench. Good quality December 9, 2016 Beautiful bench. Good quality. A bit shinier than I had anticipated and the wood color does have some red in it. All and all, it will work and fits nicely under my piano. Very pretty, and very comfortable March 21, 2016 Very pretty, and very comfortable. The lid stop was broken on mine when it arrived (or I would have given it 5 stars). Not a big deal. I replaced it with a thin chain, which actually works better anyway. Would prefer if color more like the most common piano keyboard August 13, 2014 Exactly as expected. Would prefer if color more like the most common piano keyboard models Great product! December 13, 2013 Great product! Arrived in a timely manner & was easy to assemble. Matched my piano perfectly!I gave it a 4 star rating because I would have like to have seen the price a little lower. |
Three Star Reviews: | 7% I recommend that you look for a wider bench for small ... September 21, 2017 I got this for my 5 and 7 year old. It is adjustable but the drawback is at the highest setting this bench has the tendency to tip. My 5 year old fell off it and so did her friend. I didn't keep this in mind while shopping. I recommend that you look for a wider bench for small kids or if you need it for an adult that cannot balance well. Good enough for the price, but a little misleading to the customer. March 5, 2016 The Product is good enough, and I thought it was worth the price. However, other comments were correct and this is in no way an official Yamaha product which is false advertising. I don't know why their not just honest and say what it is, because for the price I think it's perfectly acceptable it's not from a big brand. I think that would be better than misleading customers and wouldn't lead to negative reviews. I'm sure this is a nice bench for a smaller person July 10, 2014 I bought this to use with my Yamaha DGX 650B. When it arrived, I was surprised at how small it is. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions rather than the pictures. One reviewer states it might hold 200 lb. That would be the upper limit by my guess. This bench is more suitable for a child or a small-built adult. I'm 6'4" and 300lb. I was afraid to sit on it and returned it. I'm sure this is a nice bench for a smaller person. Reasonably well made, but may not be compatible with some keyboard stands May 28, 2014 The bench seems sturdy and well-made. But be careful if you intend to use it with a keyboard on a keyboard stand like the one I purchased, the Yamaha PKBX2. At the stand's lowest setting, my Yamaha CP40 piano keyboard is 30 1/2 inches from the ground, not necessarily a big deal. The PKBB1 keyboard bench has a maximum height of 20 1/2 inches. For most people, this bench height is fine if your keyboard is 28 inches from the floor, but it's too low if, as in this case, the keyboard is 30 1/2 inches from the floor. I had to choose between returning the stand or returning the bench, so I'm returning the bench and getting a taller one. The PKBX2 keyboard stand should probably not be sold as a bundle with this bench. Looks sturdy enough, but look carefully... February 8, 2014 I purchased this item a few days ago and received it promptly. However, when I went to remove the plastics covering the leg braces, I discovered rusted screws. Needless to say, I am going to be returning this for a replacement. The bench does look and feel sturdy and the padding feels very adequate and comfortable for prolonged sitting. On this particular order, I can't trust the integrity of the bench when the screws holding everything together have rust all over them. For now, I'm giving 3 stars and will update if the replacement arrives in better condition. Sturdy, comfortable, but not w/o problems June 3, 2013 I purchased the Yamaha BB1 bench to use with my Yamaha DGX530 keyboard. While an OK value for a relatively low price, the Yamaha bench is solid but plain-looking. It has hollow metal legs, and thin padding with a soft vinyl covering that looks like it could tear or puncture easily, so maybe not a good choice if you have children that might climb on it. It came packaged in a plastic bag within a box, with no real protective padding of any kind, just a couple of pieces of foam to keep the legs from moving around and getting scratched. That didn't work! Before I opened the box I could hear the legs rattling around in there. When I opened it and looked it over I saw that the legs all had small scratches on them, and the vinyl top had a 1/2" cut in it. I find that baffling, because there was no damage at all to the box that I could see, and I did not use a blade to open it. Even if I had, the cut was off to the side and at an angle! Very strange! This would have had to be packaged this way, unless of course it was returned damaged and then resold. (I noticed another review where the reviewer found a tear also, but went ahead and taped it.)Bottom line, after using it for 2 days, I found it reasonably comfortable and sturdy, but a bit low for me. If you can get an undamaged one, it is a plain, sturdy bench for reasonable price and I think you will be happy with it.Rather than return it for a replacement, I decided to return it and try an adjustable bench.I purchased the Ebony Adjustable Artist Piano Bench through Amazon and CPS Imports. It was almost double the cost, but worth every penny and more. Read my review of that bench for more info.NOTE: I may have given the Yamaha bench 4 stars if I had not been able to compare it with the Ebony bench. I did not take the damage into consideration when deciding on the 3 star rating. | 10% The color and design is nice and I love the quality of the bench portion September 5, 2017 We've had this for a few months and we've already had to tighten the legs several times. The color and design is nice and I love the quality of the bench portion, but the legs and how they're attached could use some work. Screws loosen quickly. I have to tighten every week ... July 12, 2017 Screws loosen quickly. I have to tighten every week! The bottom of the storage area looks like a thick cardboard and was fastened to the bench ... July 22, 2016 The hardware looks flimsy. It will take time to prove how its going to hold up. The bottom of the storage area looks like a thick cardboard and was fastened to the bench with staples!! I am not confident it could hold the weight of 9 thin music lesson books. Otherwise it looks good. piano bench January 31, 2014 I love the color of this bench and it does serve the purpose, and I like the storage capacity, but it rocks because it is hard to assemble and it moves when you sit on it. Not the quality I was expecting!! October 10, 2013 The hardware on the seat and the storage area under the seat are low quality and poorly engineered. The lever is cheap and flimsy and the bottom of the storage area is a piece of masonite or equivalent stapled to the bottom of the bench. Don't expect it will hold much weight without being reconstructed. It is just another imported peice of furniture with curb appeal but little substance. |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% It's ok July 13, 2017 I gave it two stars because it's not very comfortable and I would like it to go just a little lower. I'm 5'4" and I have a hard time touching the ground. I have to hang off the front. Not level. Off by 1" or more. Wobbles. I returned it. November 23, 2016 Completely off-level--by more than 1". Wobbles way too much to be of any use, even for a child. I returned it. Otherwise quality is fine--in fact this is indistinguishable from other such items, so much so that I expect we see many identical products under different brand names. So you might have better luck with yours. Unbalanced and Wobbly. Not a Yamaha Product At All June 23, 2016 • The bench is wobbly no matter what surface I put it on (it is not the floor)• Adjusting the height has no effect on the unbalanced design and the wobble• The product is NOT made by Yamaha. It is not even made for Yamaha. It is "Distributed by Yamaha Corporation of America"• The product is imported by The Music People Inc of Berlin, CTPositives:• Easy to assembleYou learn to manage the wobble, and the bench does work. However, it is never as stable as you wish.As for the bait and switch......it is as if Rolex would distribute a cheap watch they don't make because they have a good distribution network, and the shops advertising the cheap watch online tell you it is a Rolex when it is not. Not Recommended for Travel May 15, 2016 Do not get this bench if you are planning to travel with it. To adjust the height will take a number of steps of unscrewing the lock from the cross (x). Also, to collapse this bench into flat position you have to screw/unscrew at a couple of places. Not that big a deal for some people, but I was expecting an easy 2 second process (similar to adjusting height on typical keyboard stands) which this bench does not have.If you plan to have it sitting in just one place then this should be ok. Also, the seat isn't that comfortable. Incorrect Measurements January 29, 2016 The stool is a good quality and looks nice. I'm thoroughly disappointed, however. I bought this because of the adjustable height. I need a 17 or 17 1/2 inch stool for my nine-year-old cello-playing daughter. At the lowest setting, it measures 19 inches from the seat to the floor.It's not worth sending it back, but now I'm stuck with a stool that's worthless to me. Shennanigans! NOT a Yamaha product! November 28, 2015 Shenannigans!! This is NOT a Yamaha product as the listing would lead you to believe. It's a generic off-brand bench. Buyer beware. It's relatively cheap and I need it right away, so I'm not going to bother to return it. But the listing needs to be amended to reflect the truth. If you are buying this expecting traditional Yamaha professional quality, look elsewhere. | 2% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 4% Awful bench - returned September 29, 2017 I used this bench for a few days, shipped it back and ordered the one linked below. The bench was overall just too small and not firm enough which made my back and shoulders ache after sitting there for any length of time. Really love the new one. Yes, it's more expensive but totally worth paying extra. I sat and played for over 2 hours one night this week with no problems at all.On Stage KT7800 Plus Padded Keyboard Bench Not well made. March 18, 2017 The legs didn't fit into the grooves under the seat. I would have returned it but my son jerry-rigged it. Dangerously-poor construction December 19, 2016 Poorly engineered; loose fittings and moorings for legs-to-bench attachments. Constantly had to tighten bolts and screws for legs which ultimately tore away from wood bench in less than a month. Dangerous seating for player. This is not a Yamaha bench November 19, 2015 This is not a Yamaha bench. It's imported by a company in CT from China, and the distributed by Yamaha. Yamaha does not produce this bench. Like L. Jarlot September 24, 2015 Like L. Jarlot, I recieved a generic brand bench. I also ordered the Yamaha PKBS1 Single Braced Adjustable X-Style Keyboard Stand, and it was a generic brand as well. There are many other brands out there that cost the same, or LESS than the "YAMAHA" brand, but I spent the extra money because I wanted and trust the YAMAHA brand name. I am not going to return the products because they are not bad quality. I am just dissapointed that they are being advertised as "YAMAHA" products Yamaha sells generic July 29, 2015 The bench is advertised as a Yamaha bench, but delivered a china made and distributed by Yamaha. This is a thick advertise. In my understand is a cheating. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
