A spanking block is an item of spanking furniture that is rectangular block-shaped and usually made of wood - like a bench without a back and with the sides closed.

The spankee assumes a kneeling position by kneeling down in front of the block and resting his/her torso on the block.

A birching block is a block used for birching. The Eton variant of it has a step to kneel on.

A spanking bench is also similar, but somewhat less block-like and more like a bench. Spanking benches are used in modern BDSM and often have padded knee rests.

Higher spanking blocks

There are also higher variants of a spanking block that are about as high as a barstool. In those, the spankee's knees are off the floor; the spankee's feet are touching the floor, but without bearing much weight. There are many different variants, but most are constructed to provide means to restrain the spankee with straps.
