Piano Bench Adjustable Stool with Backrest for Musicians

This piano stool is just what I needed. It’s comfortable, with a back rest and is easily adjustable for height It’s a solid, quality product. Assembly I situations were clear with illustrations and written words. Assembling something with more than 3 components is not my super power, but putting this stool together was very easy, even fun! Liquid Stands makes great products. I bought their keyboard stand a few months prior to the bench and it is of similarly high quality and was easy to assemble,

This bench arrived today. I am resuming piano lessons after a VERY long hiatus, partially to provide mental and physical stimulus as I move from partial into full retirement. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and several herniated discs in my lower back so sitting for long periods of time could be problematic. The bench I already had was uncomfortable, even with a cushion, and a bit too high for me. I put this bench together with ease in under 30 minutes. Could have done it in 15 but I had to search around for my comfortable Allen Wrench set rather than the little one provided. The provided one is just fine but I prefer one with a bigger handle. So, once I assembled it, I sat on it and got a better sense of how high I wanted the legs to be, how far back and at what point on my back I wanted to position the back rest. Got that all done quickly and now I can forsee being able to play longer with infinitely more comfort than the old wooden bench. I am no featherweight and I feel secure on this sturdy bench and I know that I can quickly and easily adjust it to enhance my comfort when or if I ever need to do that. I think this is a very reasonable price point for this quality of chair. I am very pleased with this chair.

When assembled, this is a great product, sturdy, well-made, and comfortable. Does the job as advertized. I'd give it 5 stars except for a couple of small problems with the assembly that I believe could easily be fixed: (a) the first step of attaching the legs took several tries because there was no way to keep the bolt onto the Allen wrench, so it kept falling off and into the bowels of the leg from which it was difficult to retrieve - a magnetized Allen wrench might solve the problem; (b) adding the crossbar was made more difficult because the legs and supports had already been tightened down and I had to hammer the crossbar into place, scraping off some of the paint - it would be helpful for the instructions to suggest not tightening down the bolts in the first 2 steps until the crossbar was in place. But those were minor problems. Overall, the assembly was straightforward and the result was great. I wanted to use the stool in place of my piano bench (grand piano) because of the back support. But the stool is a bit too small for that. However, it is excellent for smaller instruments such as guitars and keyboards.

This is the second bench I have ordered. I have one for my harp and one for my keyboard. It is very sturdy and I like the back rest that helps support by body as I play. It was easy to put together although it was not clear which direction the legs were to go. The longer side needs to be pointing to the back. I had it wrong to begin with and the bench start to tip backwards when I got up. Once I changed the legs around, it is working perfectly. And I love that I can change the height, higher for keyboard, lower for harp. I would recommend this product.

I only received it today, and time will tell how much I like it comfort-wise. However, it's certainly well-manufactured. All of the pieces aligned properly and there were no flaws on any of the materials. Not only did it have exactly the right number of screws, but they also included lock washers, which isn't something you normally get with self-assembled furniture (it was very much appreciated). The instructions are decent, though there are a few minor quirks to be aware of. An allen wrench is included (an H4.0 or 5/32 if, like me, you'd rather use your own screwdriver & bit instead). The first two instructions are straightforward; it took me a few seconds to realize that steps 3 and 4 weren't needed because my unit came with that part of the assembly already completed. The remaining steps were fine. The only challenge is that everything (including the holes) is black, and so the small pictures don't help a lot. Fortunately, putting this together is not rocket science, and the only extra advice I'd give is to make sure (as usual) that you screw things in lightly at first, and only tighten everything down once it's all together. (I would avoid using a power screwdriver for all of the usual reasons when putting together furniture; you definitely don't want to cross-thread the screws, although as I say the alignment and quality of the hardware is really, really good.) The only really odd thing is that the seat bottom bracket's holes are slots, unlike any of the other holes in the other brackets, which are all circular. This means that you have to pay extra attention to make sure the seat bottom is centered and square before you tighten everything down. I love the fact that there are three ways to adjust this bench -- seat height, back height, and back depth. It looks great and is exactly what I was looking for (which is good because there seem to be no competitors for this sort of adjustable bench which have seat backs at this point).

I love this stool. Perfect for gigging and for at home use. The padding isn't the thickest but this is a portable gigging bench, not one that you would sit in front of a grand piano. I have a padded wooden piano bench that I just can't use because of lower back issues. I would end up going to my desk & grabbing my office chair for relief but then my chair arms are in my way. I've been looking on Amazon for a bench with a back rest and finally someone made one. I saw a review stating the chair wants to fall backward & it almost deterred me from buying it. Im glad I ignored it because mine doesn't fall back at all and I have the back rest slid all the way back as far as it goes. Infact, I tipped it back to see if it would fall backward and nope it wanted to fall forward instead. I don't know if they put it together wrong or if they got a defective chair but it's simply not true so don't let that review discourage you from buying it. It's a nice solid built little chair. I'm 240 lbs & it feels solid when I sit on it. No wobble, no tipping, just a nice solid little bench with a back rest. Oh & it's very easy to assemble too. Took me 10 minutes. I for one am very happy with my purchase.

Sure, you think you will never need the back support. Or worry it only adds cost snd little use. But the back support can be swiftly removed and you have a standard, fully adjustable piano bench. And for long practice sessions the back is crucial getting in hours of more work. It stays out of the way, doesn't interfere with arms or body movement. Like all Liquid Standa products it is superbly made and comfortable.

The chair is prefect, my guitarist, with a bad back, loves it
