Millenium KB-2006 Keyboard Bench

I wanted a bench / stool that I could use with both my keyboard and guitars.
This bench is perfect for my use.

Pros: It is height adjustable so I was able to get the perfect height relatively easily.
It folds flat for storage, which is nice.
It is well padded and very comfortable to sit on for long periods.
It is very secure when unfolded.

Cons: The threaded wheels take some time to lock the bench into position.
Height adjustment is not very quick. So if you have to make regular height adjustments then look elsewhere. For most people height adjustment is a "set it and forget it thing so this isn't really a problem.

In conclusion its a very usable bench and I would recommend it further and I am really happy I purchased it

This is a decent quality bench at a reasonable price. I can't say how many years it will last for, but it's simple enough to fold it up and down. I've had it for over a year now and there are no signs of undue wear and tear. It's also fairly easy to carry around.

While setting the height is effectively a 'one time' operation (and this bench is therefore really only suitable for one player rather than several) I was able to increase the height from the max by unscrewing the metal plates on one side and drilling 2 additional holes to move the plate further along. Useful if you have a multi-keyboard rig and still want to play the upper tier while seated. This didn't make any difference to stability, and I can now read and operate the control surface on my upper tier synth much more easily.

On first impression the bench seemed really sturdy and comfy. The only strange thing was the air noise it makes when i sit on it the first time (of each use). Or so i thought;

It is barely one month since i started using the bench and i don't use it everyday even; the bench now has a permanent downwards bow in the (assumedly) wooden base whick makes a sinking (concave) curve in the seat.

This bow makes sitting increasingly uncomfortable, since it forces my legs closer together as time goes by. Metal structure is really sturdy, but the sitting platform just breaks the product.

I got it in a bundle, but i'd stay away from it as much as possible.

10/10 would NOT recommend.

I had thoughts about this bench (bought it with the Yamaha e353 deluxe package), however is quite heavy and well built. Also on the bottom side of the bench there is a sticker which mentions that the bench can take up to 136kg on it (the instructions and the website guide show 120kg, just to be on the safe side probably).

Pros:
- Well built and comfy. The sponge can be a bit soft and probably in time it will show aging signs.
- It also has 4 height adjustable positions, I'm 182 and I use the 2nd lowest setting. The other is too low and the other 2 higher ones too high for me. So if you are taller, this will be perfect.
- Very stable, wide and long enough for someone larger, or for 2 small, slim kids (under 10).

Cons: the top cover of the bench is made of artificial leather (vinyl) and it can get a bit sweaty on hot climates. Using a soft towel over it will help and will also extend the life of the cover.

Given that this is well built, I would highly recommend it. Please note that it is quite heavy and there is no back support, so if you travel alot or wish back support, then something else is required.
