[CAUT] Inexpensive institutional piano benches

[Porritt, David]

Richard:

The chains work well!  We've had our Petite benches about 5 years now
and they have held up well.  They are the same mechanism as the standard
artist bench just a somewhat smaller and lighter top and no
tuck-and-roll top.

We bought the Schaff No.7022 stringer style School Benches several years
ago as our blond Everett benches

were breaking up beyond repair. These 7022 benches have NEVER needed any
repairs, are still solid. I

cannot speak for their present build quality. Ours are probably 15 years
old now. The 7022's are now 

around $200...but I think we got ours years ago for like $75.
Inflation!!!  I would not call $200 cheap.

 

For piano majors rooms, we now have the Jansen Petite artist bench.
($265) We've not had them long enough

to see how they will hold up, but they seem solid. Sofar, they are still
in the rooms I put them in. We'll se

how long that lasts!
