Great. Heavy duty and comfortable
I procrastinated about buying this bench for weeks. I wish I'd bought it sooner.
Before this I was using one of the Thomann wooden benches, that came packaged with my first keyboard. It was okay but used to creak and groan every time I moved on it, like a 19 century wooden clipper sailing upwind in a storm. Okay, I've put on a bit of weight recently as I'm no longer running marathons, but I'm still not that heavy. This used to annoy me as my microphone used to pick it up.
This bench arrived in about a week (to Ireland) and took about 5 minutes or so to assemble. Whilst you're putting it together you can spend some time appreciating how well built and sturdy it really is.
BTW It's easy to build, way easier to build than say a Swedish bookcase. Yes, I'm looking at you Billy.
The padding on the seat is about 40 mm or so, but very firm so that you don't feel that you're sitting on plywood. It's way firmer than an average office chair.
Easy to adjust. I don't need to change it as I'm the only one who ever uses it, but it'd only take a few seconds if you needed to change it frequently. I was looking at the pneumatic benches, but was put off by the lifespan of office furniture. I expect that this bench will outlive me.
Downsides. These are both minor, but if anything it's a little too firm and the underside of the pads (the bits that contact the floor), seem a bit unfinished. It looks like there's a disc that's mean to screw on to protect the floor. However it doesn't scratch the floor as the pads themselves are quite soft, so it's only a very minor aesthetic about a part that you never see.
Recomended.

Good Quality
I was originally looking at a hydraulic/pneumatic piano bench but as it was just for me and I don't have a need for frequent adjustments, I decided to choose this product. I have not been disappointed, the assembly was easy and the build quality is good. The height adjustment is solid with spacings about 1cm apart over a considerable range. I live in the USA but the included shipping from Thomann was less than 3 days and the price was much cheaper than domestic suppliers.

Stabile und bequeme Sitzbank
Nachdem ich sehr zufrieden mit dem K&M Omega 18810 Keyboardstaender war, habe ich mich zum Kauf der passenden Keyboardbank entschieden.
Der Aufbau war sehr einfach und hat max. 15 min gedauert. Die Bank ist sehr robust und erlaubt eine sehr genaue Anpassung der Sitzhoehe. Die Sitzoberflaeche aus Kunstleder ist sehr bequem und leicht zu reinigen.
Optisch sehen die Sitzbank und der Keyboardstaender zusammen sehr gut aus!

Well engineered bench
German engineering at its best.
Oozes quality. Easy to put together with clear instructions - took me 15 minutes.
The seat is firm but comfortable and it feels extremely stable.
Love the spring loaded clamps for adjusting the height.
Elegant and classy.

Beautiful
Absolutely solid and stable, not a squeak or a wobble. The seat padding is nice and firm, the 'faux' leather is animal-friendly, looks great, and is easy to wipe clean. This model doesn't fold up, but that's perfect for my (home) use, I just slide it under the keyboard when not in use. Adjusting to the right height is simple. It was definitely worth spending more money to get this level of quality and stability - it will probably last longer than me!
