They were normal stackable circular wooden stools, not piano stools. I offered them on Facebook Marketplace and this piano teacher responded saying they needed extra seating for recitals and could use the stools. That seemed the most worthy cause I saw in the first 24 hours so I give away the 20 extra stools to that teacher.
(Incidentally, I do play piano, but the 5 stools I ordered weren't intended for piano use on my part, I was just using them for overflow seating for friend gatherings.)
Did you order 5 piano stools? I have 2 grand pianos, a clavichord, and about 30 electronic keyboards and I still only have 3 piano seats (1 bench, 1 stool, 1 drum throne). So now I have to know what you used those 5 stools for ;)
Second... how long did it take you to find 20 piano stool recipients? And how did you get the message across? Every time I try something like that I get treated like a scam artist and lose interest in helping.
