SOME HISTORY FOR ANTIQUE LOVERS:
A monks bench 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.[1][2]

In other words, a monk's bench is a kind of furniture that can fold to become a bench, storage chest, or table.
