<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 29508, member: 37"]This is one of the more unusual piano benches I have seen. Finding the maker would be next to impossible unless you run across another marked example or an ad with it in it. While it may have been purchased with the piano, they may not have been made together. It is/was pretty common to mix and match benches and pianos from different makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your bench doesn't need to be refinished. Cleaning and a coat of paste wax would do wonders for it. It doesn't hurt to reupholster since that is expected over the years. The wood is walnut, though I suspect the legs may be something else stained to match the walnut used up top.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
