This Gothic pulpit is the type where it is either attached to a wall (opening is in the all for access) or free standing. There is also a canopy that hangs above. The canopy does have some damage to the decorative finial points. Or, cut the bottom off to make a great table base, add industrial wheels behind the skirt & make it into a one person bar! It is finished inside...great piece for a church or home! Please contact us with any questions. We can ship these as well. Delivery available.
