Piano pedals sit on the top, and underneath are posts that sit on the pedals of the piano, so that when nightfall uggs the child pushed the pedal on the footstool, the piano pedals are pushed by the extenders. With an adjustable piano bench, the child can be at the ugg 5359 correct height to play the piano comfortably.As a beautiful piece of furniture a sheet music cabinet can take place with other pieces of furniture. But its real purpose is to keep the many pieces of music organized and out of sight. Most piano benches ugg 5359 can hold music, but this storage space is limited.
