Our Jansen Upright Piano Bench with Upholstered Top is the highest quality padded top upright piano bench manufactured in the United States. Made of solid maple hardwood from the East Coast (known for its beautiful wood grain), the upholstered top is made of the highest-end, furniture grade vinyl (unlike many of the inexpensive imported benches, we use a thick vinyl, which will not quickly crack or rip. You'd be amazed at how easy these imports get a small tear in their thin vinyl).

Supported with heavy duty brass hardware, the Jansen piano bench features a routed in music compartment--compared to most of the foreign imported benches, which only staple in their music compartments. By doing this, the wood bottom not only offers a sturdy surface for the heaviest music books, it also acts as structural reinforcement for the entire bench. The depth of the sheet music storage area is 2-3/4".

In business for over 60 years, Jansen prides itself in using the highest quality craftsmanship and products available--from wood, to upholstery material, to the brass hardware. The "Cadillac of piano benches," we have ensured for decades that we are the best piano bench manufacturer in the world, bar-none. And as such, high-end piano manufacturers contract out to us specifically to supply benches for their pianos.

Jansen Piano Benches vs. Chinese Imports

As imports become more available, the importance of quality becomes more evident. At Jansen, we hear numerous stories from our customers, who bought a cheaper, imported piano bench, only to be disappointed with the quality and have the bench last for a couple of months. Typically using a lacquered finish, the Chinese imports finish is so thin, that it rubs off when being dragged on the floor during assembly, or if it is scrubbed hard during cleaning. Large Chips on common as well, especially in their thick clear coats. The inferior wood quality makes them light weight, leading the benches to break down quickly, and you can expect the benches to begin to wobble after a period of time. Additionally, the quality of the wood is import aesthetically. Jansen benches use American/Canadian hardwoods, known for their beautiful, tight grains. When you take a look at imported piano benches in a mahogany or walnut finish, you will notice the wood grain is far apart and often circular. If you're getting a walnut or mahogany piano bench where grain pattern is particularly noticeable , you will definitely want to go with one made from a North American Hardwood. In sum, with all the nightmare stories we hear from people with imported and inexpensive piano benches, we believe that it is worth every penny to get an American made product, that uses the highest quality woods, finishes and craftsmanship. You will not be disappointed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between an upright piano bench and a grand piano bench?

Upright piano benches are typically narrower and slightly taller than grand piano benches. Upright benches usually measure around 20 inches high, while grand piano benches are closer to 19 inches high. This height difference matches the design of the instruments: upright pianos have higher keyboards relative to the floor, so a slightly taller bench provides proper hand and arm alignment for comfortable playing. Grand piano benches are also wider to fit the broader size of grand pianos and allow more space for movement during performances.

What is the best piano bench for an upright piano?

The best piano bench for an upright piano combines solid hardwood construction, a comfortable seat, and long-term durability. American-made benches like the Jansen Upright Piano Bench offer superior craftsmanship, stability, and aesthetic quality compared to imported or mass-market models.

Should I choose a padded or wood top piano bench?

A padded (upholstered) piano bench offers greater comfort, especially for longer practice sessions or performances. Wood-top benches provide a more traditional look and are slightly firmer. Choosing between them depends on how often you play and whether comfort or styling is your main priority.

Can I use a grand piano bench with an upright piano?

Yes — especially with larger upright pianos. Grand benches sit about 1 inch lower than standard upright benches, but many players find 19" seating more comfortable. If proportions look balanced and you prefer a lower seat, a grand bench can work beautifully with an upright piano.

What makes an American-made piano bench better than imported benches?

American-made piano benches like the Jansen Upright Piano Bench are built with superior craftsmanship and higher-quality materials. This bench uses solid hardwood maple for the frame and legs, not soft woods or composites. It features a thicker, reinforced structure for greater durability, and uses premium, heavy-duty vinyl upholstery that resists damage and wear over time. Imported benches often rely on lighter woods, thinner legs, and lower-grade coverings, which can lead to wobbling, cracking, and shorter lifespan with regular use.

What makes the Jansen Upright Piano Bench trusted by professionals?

The Jansen Upright Piano Bench is the preferred choice for music schools, conservatories, performance venues, and professional pianists. Trusted for its stability, comfort, and long-term reliability, it offers the same construction quality found in concert-level artist benches. Professionals choose Jansen because they know it will endure daily use, heavy practice schedules, and the demands of serious musicianship without wobbling or wearing out.
