When ordering a piano bench I have noticed that many people do not care about the type of piano bench leg that goes on the bench. Most of them are not aware of the many choices that they have in front of them when they are ordering. I like to tell people that they should always order a piano bench that will match the legs of their piano so that the look of their set can be continuous and beautiful.
Much like the wood finish of a piano bench, the legs should also match the leg style of the piano. The legs come in many styles: straight, fluted, brass ferruled, round, spade, straight tapered, square tapered, antique looking Louis XV, Queen Anne, Early American, round reeded and even octagonal. You can see a picture of each of the leg types by looking at the piano benches section of a popular web site.

To be sure to order the right type of leg, simply look at the pictures of legs provided on the piano bench supplier site and then compare it to the leg of your piano. Be sure to look at whether the leg is square or rounded, if it has a brass ferrule on the bottom of it and whether or not the leg has a series of decorations at the bottom of it. Asking yourself these questions prior to ordering a matching bench will make the job or selection much easier because it will limit your choices somewhat through the ordering process.
Some people have told me they feel that limiting their choices is a bad thing and I always respond the same way and tell them that is much better to have selected the right piano bench, leg, upholstery and wood finish to match your piano than to have everyone who looks at your piano set and stop and wonder for a moment or two what is wrong with the look and why it does not all appear to fit together in the right way.
I once went to a cocktail party and the host played a game asking people to identify the pieces of furniture that did not go together. I must admit that I was not very good at the game and did not enjoy playing the game all that much (my wife, however, enjoyed the game quite a bit) but it did bring to mind some of the pieces that should go together in a house. His piano and bench did not go together. It turned out that he had owned two pianos and had switched benches. Both were black pianos but one was a grand and the other an upright. The size of the benches and the legs to each one did not fit the piano they were sitting in front of. I admit also that I did not notice until after it was brought to my attention but after it was I realized how the pieces simply did not go together and that I would have stared at the piano and bench combination not liking the tandem had the mismatch not been corrected.
My last piece of advice is to not find yourself as an embarrassed host by getting a piano bench that matches your piano.
