What we like: Reasonably priced, easy to assemble

What we don’t like: Kneeling pad is a bit hard

This reasonably-priced praying bench is all about functionality and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for a modern church interior. Its hardwood construction is long-lasting and comes with features that include a 7” storage shelf (perfect for a large-print Bible), a folding countertop, and a folding kneeling pad.

Although it features basic styling and design, the striking wooden crucifix under the shelf and a printed crucifix on each side make it an ideal centerpiece for a private prayer or meditation room.

In addition, this praying kneeler’s plans and instruction manual are easy to follow and in full color. It only takes minutes to assemble and will last you for many years.
