Should you replace your church pews with chairs?By Chairtex Inc.

Introduction

Church pews have always been a very important part of church furniture. Nowadays, as a church is sometimes used not only as a place of worship, but also as a theater or concert hall, pews may not always be the best seating solution. Did you know there was an alternative to traditional church pews?

Many churches are replacing their pews with chairs, while keeping their classical or contemporary look. Should you replace your church pews with chairs?

Church pews

Church pews are often real works of art, made out of wood and featuring religious and decorative carvings. They are lined up in rows facing the altar of the church, and are usually permanently fixed to the floor.

If more space or a different seat configuration is needed for a particular event, it is of course not possible to move the pews around. Furthermore, if there are not many people attending church, the space can easily look empty.

Chairs

Now try to imagine what your church would look like if the pews were gone, and replaced with chairs. Would the church still look like a church? Would people attending church or a concert move the chairs around, leaving the room a mess every night? What would happen to kneelers and book racks?

Replacing pews with chairs might make the space more flexible, but it comes with some disadvantages you should not ignore.

Church chairs could be the solution

Fortunately, it's possible for you to purchase church chairs instead of regular chairs. What is the difference? Church chairs are made specially for replacing church pews. They are of exceptional value, and can be custom made in many types and colors of fabrics, to fit all styles.

Church chairs can easily be fixed together to form straight lines, so the church will remain in order after every service, concert of special event.

Space flexibility

Replacing your pews with church chairs allows you to change the seat configuration at will, and to fully take advantage of the church's space. If you are presenting a theater play or holding a reunion, it will only take a few minutes to place the chairs in the desired way.

When there are not a lot of people attending church service, you can remove some chairs and bring the remaining chairs closer so the room will appear less empty, and more warm and inviting.

Comfort and commodity

Some church pews are padded and comfortable, but most are not. Church chairs, on the other hand, are made to be comfortable. They are also really durable, so you know that when you buy quality church chairs, you are making a good investment.

Still worried about the kneelers? Look for church chairs with stand alone kneelers or attached kneelers. They are practical, comfortable and stylish. Some church chairs are also available with book racks or book pockets, to hold bibles or prayer books.

Easy to stack and to move

Most church chairs are light and can easily be stacked, making them easy to move around the room, as well as easy to store when they are not in use. This way, when getting ready to hold a special event, you can install as many or as few chairs as you need.

When the event is over, simply bring back all of the chairs together to form straight lines again, like the pews were still there. Only church chairs offer you this much flexibility.

Conclusion

Replacing your church pews with church chairs holds many advantages. If you are still unsure about making the move, take some time to look at the many styles of church chairs on the market. They come in a variety of types and colors.

Church chairs could make your church look more modern and appealing, while still keeping the style and the functionality of traditional church pews.
