FAQs

A monks bench, also known as a settle table, is a dual-purpose piece of furniture featuring a pivoting top that functions as either a tabletop or the backrest of a bench.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid oak, pine, or walnut, often featuring mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved decorative aprons, and turned legs or supports.

Authentic period examples typically feature solid oak construction, genuine wear around the wooden pivot points, traditional joinery, and period-appropriate carved motifs or fretwork.

A monks bench works well in entryways, hallway nooks, or living spaces where space-saving furniture provides both seating and surface area.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, and lubricate the mechanical pivot points gently without getting wax on any fabric upholstery.
