Okay, so I finally got my hands on this Liquid Stands piano bench, and let me tell you—it’s a game-changer! First off, assembly was a breeze. Like, 10 minutes tops. No PhD in engineering required.

The cushion? Plush but firm. I’ve played 3-hour gigs, and my backside isn’t screaming for mercy. The stainless steel frame feels indestructible—I’m 200lbs, and this thing doesn’t even creak. Rubber feet keep it planted like it’s glued to the floor (even on my uneven basement carpet).

Height adjustment is *chef’s kiss*—17.5” to 22” in 1” increments. Perfect for my short legs or my tall bandmate’s giraffe limbs. And at 9lbs? I’ve carried heavier groceries. Bonus: the PU leather wipes clean after my coffee spills (oops).

Only gripe? The plastic caps during assembly fought me harder than my cat at bath time. Pro tip: loosen ALL bolts before sliding in the crossbar. Trust me.

Verdict: Way sturdier than my ex’s promises. 9.5/10—would bench again.
