Using this piano bench is easy. First, do the minimal assembly required. Then, place it on a flat surface only. Sit on the soft, padded cushion for a comfortable playing experience during your long performances, rehearsals, or recording sessions. Remember, it has a weight capacity of 350 lbs., so don't exceed this limit. For maintenance, keep it clean by wiping the vinyl cushion with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the wood or the cushion. Store it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping.
