A Perfect Bench!
September 2, 2017
This bench is very nice I bought it for my keyboard. It's the perfect height, very sturdy, comfortable, and simple to assemble. It also has a good size storage space under the seat. I'm very satisfied with this purchase
IT'S A LOVESEAT FOR MY MAKEUP VANITY
July 14, 2017
I debated buying this bench after reading previous reviews. But, I've had no trouble with it and have been using it for 12 months. It goes perfectly under my makeup vanity. I chose a bench so that my sweet new kitten, "D2," could sit with me. He jumps up every day. Bonus makeup storage in the seat, too!
GREAT BENCH.
June 1, 2017
Very nice piano bench with storage for my music. Color is exactly as depicted.
Sturdy, Solid
April 19, 2017
Sturdy, solid, rich looking, ample storage, real bench hinge that keeps lid open if wanted while sorting through your music.
Perfect spot for the end of our bed
January 8, 2017
Perfect spot for the end of our bed. We added stairs so our little aging chihuahua didn't have to jump up anymore. As a result we needed to fill in the empty space next to the stairs. This is perfect size and fit. It goes nicely with our furniture. It's a great height and now we have something to sit on when we want to play with him or put on our shoes etc. It also is a nice little hiding spot under the seat for putting our pjs in or whatever.
Excellent bench
March 23, 2016
Excellent bench. Strong build and good looking. Size can work for duets. Internal storage works well. I ordered a second one of these and found the legs to be different from the first one, they are now quite curvy (like french furniture). I prefer the modern straight legs shown in the product example, but the new formal look is nice too. I have included a picture of the new leg version.

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.

February 15, 2016
This bench arrived quickly and the Leather Padded seat is very nice. The paint job on the legs of this certainly could have been better. It does store our music books and is sturdy enough for the my 10 yr old and I to sit with him while he plays.
but it is worth it to have a good study piano seat to use
August 27, 2015
Works really well. Came as shipped and no problems with it. I wish we could have chosen maple instead of a cherry wood color as it does not match our current piano very well, but it is worth it to have a good study piano seat to use.
Nice bench for the price
March 24, 2015
Nice-looking bench. It's not the sturdiest I've seen, but for the price I can't complain. It did have a bit of a strong chemical odor when I first unpacked it, but I just left it in the garage overnight to air it out and it was fine the next day.

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...

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.

Middle Quality, But the Right Color
July 28, 2017
Finish could be better. Had to glue a small delamination of the veneer. For some reason, it was really hard to start the nuts on the bolts that hold on the legs. But, is seems solid enough and is exactly the same color as our piano, so I keep it.
Fast delivery, quick assembly, but.....
October 5, 2016
The bench was delivered very fast and was super easy to assemble. Unfortunately, I have to give three stars because someone has written directly onto the faux leather with a red Sharpie and I cannot remove it! I'll have to go out and buy some product to get it off the chair now. Beautiful bench otherwise.
More of a red-brown than a brown-brown.
September 4, 2016
The bench itself is about as expected in terms of quality and construction. Assembly is simply bolting the legs on to the pre-assembled bench. However, the color was quite different than expected. The picture shows a sort of chocolate brown vinyl bench with brown natural colored wood. Well they got the wood color correct, but the vinyl covering the bench is a much more red-brown cordovan color and my wife hates it.

August 15, 2016
The bench was fine, but if you are ordering it to use as a vanity stool keep in mind that it is very long. I was going to return it because it was too long for my vanity but there is a 20% processing fee plus shipping costs, so I was pretty much stuck with it. If you think for any reason you might have to return it DON'T order. WAY too much trouble.
Just Okay
November 3, 2015
Bought this for a 6 year old to practice on an electric piano. Works well for her but is very cheaply made. Fabric is cheaply stapled to underside of lid and bottom cardboard bottom is falling out. Will keep for now but someday will find a better replacement.
The bench is nice enough in appearance
May 28, 2015
The bench is nice enough in appearance. My only gripe is that the legs loosen up with regularity. I have to use the little Allen wrench and tighten them a couple times a week.

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.

Piano bench

The seat began to bend every time I sat on it. WHat a piece of crap.
Two Stars
March 13, 2017
Very cheaply made. "Buttons" are already coming off after two months of use.
NOT BROWN
September 16, 2016
The wood is a dark cherry but the leather is red. Not just a little red, but all of the way red. We were very disappointed when we opened to box. But if you don't care about color, it is a great bench.
Not as advertised
August 22, 2016
I ordered, what I thought was, a brown color. It was not! It was a deep red color. It also had a really strong chemical smell that was hard to tolerate for a couple weeks. It is sturdy and I love the storage. For the price, I didn't send it back. I could tolerate the alternate color, but if you really want brown, don't order this one!
Two Stars
August 17, 2016
Color of bench is really a bright cherry wood. Definitely not a brown.
Can't recommend it.
April 28, 2016
I have mixed feelings about this piano bench. I ordered a brown one for my wife as her mother had given her the family piano after her parents divorced. Her father had broken the original bench years ago, so it had sat unused for a long time. The bench came and it was white, not brown. However my wife actually liked the white, so I didn't return it. Assembly is simple enough, but be advised: this bench is pretty much a starter bench. It's not made very well and looks like it won't support someone more than 175 pounds or so. Give. The quality and the fact that I didn't get the one I paid for I would not recommend this piano bench.

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.

Broke after one month.
July 13, 2017
After assembling the bench it felt less than sturdy, and that has now proven to be true. It lasted only 31 days of moderate, single-person use. I weigh 225lbs. The wood completely split right next to the rear hinge.
Pick something else
May 22, 2017
Such a bummer that (of course just after 30 days outside the return window) one of the buttons fell off and fell apart...There's no way to fix it :(
Disgusting look and workmanship. I still like to return it.
March 9, 2017
It's horrible. Asked for a refund but never replied.
Well this is disappointing...
February 25, 2017
Honestly...this looks lovely.Sad part? the buttons pop off easily on the seat, ruining the look and decreasing my satisfaction.I guess this is one of those piano seats that are too be looked at and not used.
Disappointing Quality
December 10, 2016
The screws used to anchor the hinges to the lid are so small they stripped out the wood on the lid side during initial assembly. Will have no choice except to drill out the holes on the hinges and try larger screws. Other aspects of the bench were more than acceptable.
This is actually very different from the picture!!!!

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.
