K.L.: I bought this as a harp bench (Celtic style harp). I could never find a height setting that worked with my harp. The bench is taller than many other brands. Like other benches, it only has a few height adjustments. Unfortunately there was no way to know if it would work without trying it in person. I was planning to return it, but my husband, who is a classical guitarist, decided to try it. He likes it a lot and uses it both for practice and performance.

Real Deal: The On-Stage KT7800+ Bench has been a fantastic addition to my musical setup, providing comfort and stability during long practice sessions and performances. As a musician, having a reliable and comfortable bench is essential, and this product delivers on both fronts.

The first thing that impressed me about this bench is its sturdy construction. The heavy-duty X-style frame and double-braced design give it excellent stability, ensuring that it stays securely in place while I play. Even during more vigorous playing, the bench remains steady, providing me with the confidence I need to focus on my music.

The cushioned seat is incredibly comfortable, even during extended practice sessions. The thick padding provides ample support for my back and legs, preventing any discomfort or strain. The black vinyl cover is not only durable but also easy to clean, which is a big plus for me as I use it regularly.

Adjustability is another standout feature of the On-Stage KT7800+ Bench. With three height settings, I can easily find the perfect height that suits my playing style and preference. The quick and secure adjustment mechanism ensures that the bench remains in place at...

VicAmazon Schra9er: Pluses: Quiet, no squeaks or rattles-- important for recording purposes. Positive locking mechanism, adjustable through a good range of heights. Sturdy.
Minuses: Although the cushion is nice and thick, it is a single density of open-cell foam. I'm not a big fella, ~158lbs, but I find that my butt-bones (sorry I'm not being anatomically correct here) completely compress the cushion and bottom out on the underlying plywood. Also the vinyl (I think) upholstery is not sufficiently flexible and/or sturdy, so that after only a year of regular use (several hours/day) cracks were developing.

I like the mechanical aspects enough that I'll be looking into having the bench reupholstered using better upholstery and augmenting the single-density foam with a layer of more resistant closed-cell foam. To On-Stage, if you are listening, you might consider an improved, more expensive upgrade model.

SC: I had a more basic keyboard bench that wasn't going higher than 16" so this does the job. The foam padding does deform and does not fully bounce back to its original volume, but it still meets my height requirement of 19" (and even if the padding is deformed, the bench can still go higher to compensate -- it goes at least as high as 23"). Still 5 stars, because 1) the height is easy to adjust, 2) heavy enough to be sturdy whether sitting along its width or its length, 3) and completely comfortable, while being more economical than a regular piano bench (not the X shaped legs).

tony g: After having researched and ordered a variety of different stools and chairs that could double down as both an home office seat and to play my (classical or acoustic) guitar, I think that I have finally found my new throne.

As a larger lad I found most chairs, stools and even drummer stools were not wide enough or not shaped the right way to accommodate me seated for any lengthy period of time before digging into the back / side of my thighs.

I then turned to piano benches... and after some research I found this one. The added confidence in ordering this product was it is through Cosmo Music, which I have had positive experiences in the past when ordering directly for musical supplies.

I required something that was adjustable to higher than the standard seating height, as I am over six feet. Also I required something sturdy to support my 225 pounds. Both these boxes have been more than satisfactorily checked. The assembly / disassembly and height adjustment could not be easier. Check. I would also note that the order arrived promptly and without damage to the box.

I could not be happier.

The only longer term uncertainty (for me given my size) is...

Gianfranco: There are a plethora of "guitar" stools that stand 30inches off the ground in music stores and on amazon. This is fine for some purposes but impractical for classical or fingerstyle guitar practice.

This bench was affordable and very easy to assemble. Haven't had any discomfort yet. The padding does sink when you sit on it a bit but it feels fine. Available height settings are perfect for anyone who wants to use a foot stool either on the right side or raised higher on their left for classical.

This ended up being more affordable than any stool I would have bought at a music store and far more functional. That 18-20 inch height range is something not provided by most stools so a piano bench like this one is a great option.

ArcusArcus: Just got this chair 10 minutes ago. It was a bit tricky to assemble, because the knobs were turned in disarray and it took some time to figure them out. There is no instructions or warranty card included.
After about 5 minutes, I finally assembled the chair and was very pleased with how incredibly sturdy it is. Cannot make it wobble at all. The padding is strong, the metal is sturdy.
I was a bit put off by how hard the seating surface was, but then I realized it actually lets you lean to the right and left without exerting the glutes. I am certain the material will get softer eventually.
Also note that this is Californian design and contains some flame retardants, but there is no chemical smell. Just don't eat the chair and you'll probably be fine.
It grew on me quickly and I hope it does the same for you.

PickerDad: The choices for a guitarist are limited. Kitchen/dining room chairs are much too low (@ ~16") and if you search for guitar seat, you get exotic and impractical choices like bar-stools, a saddle or tractor seat on a stand, or drummer's throne, often not adjustable, and many times the price of this bench. This bench is the perfect size and shape, comfortable enough that I can play for hours without getting a sore back or feeling fatigued. In fact, I often use it at my computer workstation, because it's better than an office chair. It adjusts to the perfect height. Being wide, it makes a very stable platform, even if you squirm around while playing. I play in classical position so I need it a bit higher than some, but I'm only 5'9" and 23" works great for me. It can be adjusted from 19.5" to 24" (49.5-61 cm). It seems to me that 24" would suit fairly tall people in classical position. If you play in the casual position, with the guitar on your right leg (for righties), the lower heights would be perfect.

Mine arrived promptly and in good shape, and there's no assembly required. The legs attach to the top with heavy-duty spring-loaded pins and large well-shaped knobs. Changing...

dd: First of all, received this chair lightning fast - like < 2 days w/free shipping. It must have been in a warehouse real close to here.

As always, I read all the reviews on this thing. You wouldn't think that necessary with something rated almost 5 starts and only a 30-buck investment, but I like to see what the people have to say who rate it 3 stars or less. I have to agree with the 5-star people and the comments that have already been written by them, though I cannot speak to longevity. I weigh a little over 200 pounds, but when I sit on this bench it supports me well and doesn't have the type of give that lets me know my rear will be hurting within a few minutes. Very firm, but enough give to probably be comfortable for an extended period of time. I haven't given it a couple hour practice session yet, but you can kinda tell how something is gonna perform based on your first few minutes. I'll update if it proves to not hold up for an extended session.

Assembly is quite easy, adjustment really shouldn't be an issue unless you are adjusting it on a regular basis and fully tightening it every time. And by "issue", I mean something that takes much time: it is not...
