Hidden Bench
A bench which looks like a designer chair when not used.
Can be used kneeling, in either direction over the back rest, lengthwise or crosswise.
To change the angle of the back rest, lift the top a little, adjust the angle, and lower the top again to lock the back rest again.
The rings for restraints on the sides looks like handles for lifting the top to adjust the back rest.
