Which is the most suitable piano stool for a concert venue? + screw-on vs. fixed leg

[@WilliamJohnston]

I’d highly recommend looking into Steinhoven piano stools - best value for a quality new stool I’ve ever seen. The leather ones are dearer, but they also offer vinyl topped ones for less than half the price. I own the ‘Cadenza’ model in black vinyl - it’s an absolutely solid deep buttoned concert stool for the price we paid for it 5 years ago (£100, now £150). It did require leg assembly on delivery but they’ve never once shown a sign of wobble, and I know very well the frustration of these cheaper stools you mentioned. Everyone who’s sat on ours assumed it would’ve 5x more than it did! They have a nice website and a good range - highly recommend you check them out! (No affiliation! 😅)

I was lucky to find a 2nd piano stool, it was mahogany brown and i paid the earth for it. Definitely worth the investment. The dove joints are attractive and it weighs a ton!

Ideally needs the largest stool leg spacing for stability... Necessary when playing vigorously.

Mine started to squeeze... I think imma have to buy an expensive one.

What about stools which are almost benches where you can adjust the height by pulling or pushing on a handle under the bench?

Marcus, I have a very random question you may be able to assist with, what's the easiest way (without scratching) to remove the shrink plastic from the toldeo stool please? I have had mine for 2 months now and haven't taken the plastic off yet (it's very clean though!) :-)
