Newbie question - piano chair/posture

[n3rday]

So, I've recently purchased a CDP-100 as my first piano. I've never had any formal or informal music training in my life until about the past month or two, when I started to teach myself guitar. I'm currently using a $30 X-stand for my piano, and even at its lowest notch I don't have a chair high enough to reproduce the proper angle for play (i.e. so that my elbows and wrists are at the right angle, according to the internet research I've done on piano posture). As it is, I am using a computer chair with some pillows on it, and it's close enough to at least get started playing, though it isn't perfect. However, I want to rectify the problem asap.

What kind of chairs/benches do you recommend? Something adjustable? I really want to get my posture right the first time so I don't have to go back and re-learn it.

Adjustable is best.  Also, tilt the seat toward the keyboard by blocking up the back legs by about an inch - this preserves your standing lumbar curve.

Welcome newbie,
Here's the one I use. Don't use anything with arms....https://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/On-Stage-Stands-KT7800-Keyboard-Bench-?sku=450427

(Suggestion: Get a better stand...)

Musically, Jimbo

I recommend adjustable as it will allow you to try different heights until you work out what's most comfortable. As well as being adjustable, piano stools are better than chairs because they're wide so you can lean to play the top or bottom notes without falling off your seat. But failing all of that, you definitely need something without arms because they get in the way of playing.

I agree with Jimbo about the stand: X stands tend to be rather wobbly if you put any weight into your playing and something more stable will be better. Also, it's good to attach the pedal to something rather than have it loose on the floor otherwise it just moves backwards when you use it and your foot chases it along the floor! Or it does when I use one, anyway.
