Spend the money! Work chairs are not appropriate. I have a heavy, piano artist bench, and it should last the rest of my life. It also looks decent on stage. You do not want something with wheels or a back. There are some benches that are less than $600. A harp bench is the suitable thing for good reasons. The bench should match the harp as closely as possible. It needs to have sturdy legs and adjustable height. It needs to be made to last.

Hi Carol,

I just bought a Quik-Lok Keyboard Bench from Sam Ash Music Store (not sure you have this music store chain in your area) for $50.00, but I’m sure other music stores would also sell this brand….It’s very well-padded, and well built, which I like, has four adjustable positions, which is great for me, since I just bought another (Triplett) harp that stands only 50in. high..And it collapses very easily, and can be hung on a harp dolly for transporting……Good Luck in (all) your searching!

Carol, are you aware how much the comfortable height of a harp seat can vary with the harp? My harp stools vary between 8 and 24 inches in height, and even at superficially similar harps I may select quite different stool heights.

I got an american stool called Soundseat,

I use this harp bench I got from the Harp Connection. I’ve used the drum stools with smaller lever harps, but this has just as much cushion and I like the wider seat. This is the most expensive of a couple of similar models at about $116.
