How does the top convert into a table?

The high panelled back pivots forward on secure iron or metal pins located near the arms. Once flipped completely over, the back rests horizontally upon the arms to form a flat table surface. Lifting the back back into the vertical position restores the comfortable high-backed bench configuration.

Where should I place a monk's bench?

These pieces suit entrance halls, corridors, and reception rooms where floor space is limited. Their dual functionality provides a convenient surface for placing belongings while entering the home. They also serve well in living spaces as combined seating and occasional tables.

How do I care for the oak timber?

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent the accumulation of dirt within the carved details. Apply a quality beeswax periodically to nourish the wood and maintain its natural lustre. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and drastic humidity changes to protect the joints.

Are these benches comfortable for seating?

The wooden seats are firm and upright, designed originally for formal hallways rather than lounging. Adding a loose cushion or pad can enhance comfort for prolonged sitting. Armchair variants offer additional side support compared to standard bench styles.
