Yamaha BB1 Padded Wooden Piano Bench - Black

I have two of these benches. The first I got with a Yamaha digital piano. Then I bought a second Yamaha digital piano so I needed another bench. This is one of the lowest priced benches but it's quite functional. And as far as putting it together, it's the easiest assembly of any product I've ever purchased. They even give you the little wrench to tighten the 4 nuts for the legs assembly. I didn't give it top marks for comfort and sturdiness but it certainly does the job and I sometimes play for 2 hours at a time.

Works appropriately and comfortable.

So, I recently purchased a Yamaha keyboard, and Yamaha stand to go with keyboard, next I buy this bench in the same fashion …input Yamaha keyboard model and see the recommended Yamaha bench. In this case a Yamaha BB1 piano bench. When I received it I almost started to return it as “Yamaha” name was not clearly evident or featured on box - see photo 1. It was only $79, but still I purchased what was supposed to be a genuine Yamaha product and that is what I expected. However, taking a second look on one side it did indicate it was distributed by Yamaha and the BB1 model number was observed above bar code - see photo 2. I would have expected that like the keyboard and the stand that it would have come in a Yamaha box with BB1 in several places on box printing itself, not just on end flap label. I don’t know, such is disappointing but then I decided to give it a go and frankly feel it’s quality, shipment, ease of assembly were in a word excellent. It’s a keeper - still sort of feels like I am in a bait and switch territory or something like it - at any rate I did give the positive 4 star review but did deduct the one star given this issue. It was sent to me through Samash.com which appears to be good ole fashion American music company although this product as per photo 2 is actually made in China.

Like others have said, it doesn't say anything Yamaha on the box other than BB1 so I freaked out at first. It is definitely a very sturdy bench though, solid AF and would recommend.

Surprisingly sturdy one everything is super tight. I used my own wrench. It's a little hard to tighten the corners, but after a few minutes you get the hang of it. If you sit and find it creaky simply tighten it up some more. I'm personally very tall 6 ft and heavy and this still works great for me!

I purchases the piano bench to go with our Suzuki keyboard. It looks great with it. It was very easy to assemble (just had to tighten 4 screws). It is comfortable to sit on but I wish it were a little longer. Unfortunately there is no storage place in the seat but it is made well and sturdy so I am pleased with my purchase.

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.

This was also part of my wife's Christmas present. The bench went together really easy and even included a small wrench to tighten down the nuts. The bench seems comfortable enough and is at the right height when using her piano.

aunque es estetico, el material es de muy baja calidad para el precio tan alto que fue comprado es muy frágil

Easy to assemble and sturdy enough for me. Yamaha is a brand you can trust.

I am happy! I bought it on sale))) Good quality and perfect size for my piano Yamaha

The screws need to be tightened well and it would be nice if there was storage under the seat, but overall, attractive and comfortable and a nice height
