I have a customer who discarded the standard Kawai bench (oh, no, no, he is using it as a coffee table!) when he got his KG-2E and bought a task chair - no arms but has wheels and various adjustments, including up and down, and an adjustable back. When tuning, I can wheel along the hardwood floor - much nicer than bench shifting. For the player, much more comfortable than even an artist bench and many are cheaper than any piano bench.
