Taizé-style Prayer Bench

Return to woodshop product list

Our Taizé-style kneeler is made with the same fine workmanship and quality components as the full-size kneelers:

You assume a kneeling position, then sit back on the stool-like bench, which takes almost your entire body-weight off of your knees while allowing you to remain in a kneeling, prayerful posture. Your feet are tucked under the bench.
About 9" tall for comfort and convenience. Tucks neatly under bed or into a closet when not in use.
No glue joints to 'come unglued' -- all solid hardwood, screw and bolt construction to last a lifetime or more
Available with or without seat cushion -- we recommend against the pad, but are happy to add one if desired
Total weight is about 10 pounds in oak
For additional ergonomic comfort, simply place a thin pillow under your knees

Wood appearance can vary significantly from board to board. Images are examples only.

Stain/Finish: Danish oil combines the appearance of a handrubbed linseed oil finish with some of the durability of varathane. These give a beautiful finish that allows the wood's natural beauty to show through while providing moderate protection. Selecting 'none' allows you to stain/finish the piece yourself upon receipt. We can also create custom colors to your specifications. This item has approximately square surface feet to stain. Click on your desired stain.

Top Pad: Our kneeler tops are made from solid 1x8 hardwoods. The edges are rounded for comfort. We can also affix a pad if you wish. We use heavy duty, textured vinyl due to its appearance, strength and ease of cleaning. Without the pad, the wood's beauty really shows through. If you have a different material you'd prefer, you are free to send it to us prior to assembly.
