Do you have some sort of written agreement with the dealer? Does it say on the
agreement that the piano has an artist bench with it? If not, if he wants to
be an #$@ hole, you might have a difficult time getting your money out of him.
The only other threat you can hold over him is that you will not give him any
more business, and that you will tell all your friends what happened.
