A monks bench or hutch table is a piece of furniture where a tabletop is set onto a chest in such a way that when the table was not in use, the top pivots to a vertical position and becomes the back of a Settle, and this configuration allows easy access to the chest lid which forms the seat of the piece. Percy Blandford notes that "whether monks ever used such a bench is debatable, but it is an attractive name". A monks bench was a useful form at a time when many homes had a large room used for multiple functions, because it allowed a large dining table to swing up and out of the way.

| - Un banc de monjo és un moble on es col·loca una taula sobre un cofre de manera que quan la taula no s’utilitza, la part superior pivota en posició vertical i es converteix en la part posterior d’un seient, i aquesta configuració permet un fàcil accés a la tapa de la caixa que forma la base del seient . Percy Blandford assenyala que "el fet que els monjos utilitzessin alguna vegada aquest tipus de banc és discutible, però és un nom atractiu". (ca)
