The Catherine – High-Backed Monks Bench with Storage & Coat Hooks

Key Features
Fully Customisable: Standard back height of 190cm and seat depth of 45cm. Widths are available on our website, or we can craft your bench to your exact dimensions.
Generous Storage: Includes a lift-up seat with brass-coloured piano hinge, offering ample hidden storage. An upper shelf and coat hooks provide extra practicality for busy hallways and cloakrooms.
Built to Last: Constructed around a solid frame for superior strength, rigidity, and long-term durability.

Please Note
As each bench is handmade from solid reclaimed and repurposed timber, natural features such as knots, small holes, saw marks, and slight variations in grain may be present. These characteristics are part of the material’s history and contribute to its charm and individuality. Full details can be found in our Terms & Conditions.
