Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (970) or the full path ("Office Supplies > Presentation Supplies > Lecterns"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 970, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Lecterns
What is the Google product category ID for Lecterns?
970. The full path, "Office Supplies > Presentation Supplies > Lecterns", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Lecterns available?
No. Lecterns is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 3, so 970 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Lecterns sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Presentation Supplies (964). The chain from the top is Office Supplies → Presentation Supplies → Lecterns. If your product does not belong under Presentation Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Lecterns is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Presentation Supplies first — there are 9 other categories at this level: Chalkboards (965), Display Boards (966), Document Cameras (4492), Dry-Erase Boards (971), Easel Pads (967), Easels (968), and 3 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Presentation Supplies (964) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Lecterns compared with the categories next to it?
