Sharon, Thornhill, Ontario CanadaI'd like to compliment you on the excellent workmanship and design of the bench and cushion that I bought recently. I had purchased a cushion previously from you as Zafu! Zafu! The bevel cut of the legs so that you can rock it is just brilliant! Congratulations.
Even if you already own a meditation cushion, we highly recommend one of these benches as a relief posture during long retreats. They’re also exceptionally handy for taking along to the office, beach or cottage.
• unique proprietary leg design – designed & thoroughly tested at over 20 intensive zen sesshin* by our master bench-maker (and highly recommended)
• beautifully hand-crafted right here in Canada
• sturdy, yet light and portable, and easily fits into your suitcase for travel

A pine bench is relatively lightweight. Our new Douglas Fir bench will feel more substantial and may be more suitable for individuals who meet the definition of a “person of size” or “large”. The extra height in a tall bench may help in this circumstance, as it may help provide more of a gap at the back of the knees.
All benches are standard width of 17.5″. Anyone who has trouble sitting cross-legged, but can still kneel on the floor should be able to use our benches comfortably.
