  Excellent Product January 17, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I ordered the Yamaha PKBB1MM for my seven year old daughter, and she loves it! The bench is a well put together product and is easy to set up. And, you can't beat the price. . . .
  Buy this one January 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The cheapest product is usually considered first by many consumers. This product is in fact the same as the PKBB1, but costs less. The whole strategy here is to draw both the consumers that are willing to pay for the regular price and believe that that product will be much better, and also to draw the consumers who are more of savers and will pick the one that costs less. In reality they are both picking the same product. That way Yamaha can win more customers and outperform their rivals like Casio. Buy this one instead.

I got the seat on time for Christmas. It was a good price and served my needs.
  Decent Bench for the Price October 9, 2007 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
First of all, the PKBB1MM is the same model as the PKBB1. In fact, the box for this bench leaves off the MM suffix. So, it would seem that the same bench is being sold twice on Amazon, for two different prices. Go for whichever is cheaper.
Now, as far as the bench goes, it's not bad, especially for the price. Raising and lowering could be easier--as is, it involves unscrewing a knob, pulling out a bolt, holding a bunch of washers in place, and screwing the knob back into the bolt at the desired height. Not as horrible as it sounds, but could be annoying if you're taking this bench to a gig. If you're using it in your home, however, you'll probably just leave it in one position anyway.
The other downfall of this bench is that its highest setting is not all that high. I'm six feet tall, have a digital piano with the keys positioned at exactly the height of a regular grand piano, and honestly, the bench makes me feel a little short. Two or three inches more height would be perfect.
The upsides are: 1) the cushion is quite comfortable, even for extended playing; it feels almost like visco-elastic foam. 2) The bench is reasonably sturdy and well-built, considering the small size and the low cost.
Overall, I'd recommend this bench for home use, but only because it is dramatically cheaper than anything else in its class.
